Blue Snowflake USB Microphone

I just landed a new Blue Snowflake USB microphone off eBay for $21.50. The price on Amazon right not is $34.98. I use Google Voice all day long as my phone and the Logitech USB desktop mic I grabbed for $10 some years ago lacks quality at a comfortable distance. The Logitech works and I've used it to death but a little better quality would be appreciated by my listeners. It will be interesting to hear the difference. I'm considering going whole hog and getting a Blue Yeti.

Yes the Blue Snowflake is good to very good depending on how close you are to it.

I don't want a bunch of mic posts so here is what to do if mic volume keeps resetting. At least I think this is what did it. I fixed it awhile ago but don't remember how exactly. The mic levels were changing wildly as I used it and this is my setting. Uncheck allow applications to take control.

Be sure to have updated audio drivers . Reaktek here. New drivers improved the quality of the Snowflake.
There are many ways to tell if your microphone is working. You can always go online and test it here. Volume and quality will still be a mystery but at least you will know if it works.
