Re: [all-audio] USB microphone
Well Tom, it's described as a snowball; I assume it's spherical: Does it have a stand; and what kind of connection does it have and where is it? Many years ago, I had a ball-shaped mic that was very good for music. It was at the beginning of the stereo era and it was only one mic, mono. We didn't use it much for recording our band. That was in about 1960. Then I bought a pair of Shure D55s that we used quite a bit. Still have those Shures.

Re: [all-audio] USB microphone
Howard: I don't know that my description will be completely accurate, but here goes: the mic itself is shaped much like a ball; don't know what type of material it's made out of, but it'd be something (not that I ever would want to have to do it) but you could club someone over the head with that thing and put their lights out! It has legs that unfold and set it up like a desk mic (don't know the dimensions) it is a USB mic; something that I have found out recently could be a "not-so-good thing if you plan to record music with it, due to the way it works with latency! But if you're going to do voice chatting, it works very well in my opinion! Now the model I have (and I really don't have a model number) but it has no buttons on it (I know that they make one (or maybe used to )that had either a button or switch that adjusted the volume of the mic. However, this one I have does not work in this way! So I hope that my description gives you some idea of what this thing looks like and how it works!

Re: [all-audio] USB microphone
I didn't think the switch adjusted volume 9that's pretty much doneo n the PC end in this case) but the directionality of the mic. You were supposed to be able to essentailly turn it into a unidirectional style mic, which would actually have been very useful, however mine also doesn't include the switch, and since I live alone in an apartment that I can generally make pretty quiet, it's not a big deal for podcasting.

Many years ago, I had a ball-shaped mic that was very good for music. It was at the beginning of the stereo era and it was only one mic, mono. We didn't use it much for recording our band. That was in about 1960. Then I bought a pair of Shure D55s that we used quite a bit. Still have those Shures.

Re: [all-audio] USB microphone
Hi Howard, Judging by the printed material that comes with the Blue Snowball, the company is connected to Logitech. "Blue" has nothing to do with the color. The one I bought is black. Here's the Amazon page: https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Snowball-Microphone-Gloss-Black/dp/B002OO18NS -- For my blog and news about my upcoming novel, please visit www.adrianspratt.com -Original Message- From: all-audio@groups.io On Behalf Of Howard Traxler Sent: Thursday, December 30, 2021 5:25 PM To: all-audio@groups.io Subject: Re: [all-audio] USB microphone Curious about the blue snowball: Is that a brand name or just the color?
