Crafted together with Blizzard Entertainment®, Blue’s Yeti X World of Warcraft Edition professional USB mic can change the sound of your voice for a fully immersive streaming experience. Summon the sound of your favorite Warcraft characters using the all-new advanced voice modulation with Warcraft character presets or entertain your audience. I have a MBP 13' late 2012 running Sierra 10.12.2, a Blue Yeti Pro and Screenflow simultaneously on two monitors. First, I CONSTANTLY have to go to System Preferences-Sound and then go to the 'Input'. Sometimes the Mic is highlighted, sometimes not. If not, I change to it. Basically the Blue Yeti microphone mixes the local audio (from the mic itself) and the audio it receives from the computer via USB and spits that out via the 3.5mm jack on the microphone. This is done to lower the latency/delay when you're monitoring (listening to) yourself speak/sing into the microphone.
- My Blue USB mic is not being recognized on my computer (Windows PC) Please check if the issue is with the microphone not being recognized by first trying a different USB port, USB cable, and a different computer. If the microphone works on a different computer, then the issue might be with the drivers on your current computer.
- Sherpa is compatible with Yeti X, Yeti, Yeti Nano, Snowball and Snowball iCE. Customizable settings vary depending on which Blue mic is connected. Compatible only with Yeti X. Windows 7, 8.1, 10 / macOS 10.11 or higher. Windows 7, 8.1, 10. MacOS 10.11 or higher.
