Snowball is just cool

I just received my Snowball and am just amazed. Here is a low cost, high quality microphone just perfect for voice overs and other recording with Garage Band, SoundTrack Pro, iMovie, etc. It is true t... read more [+]hat I needed to put the input volume all the way up on my Mac, but there is plenty of dynamic range available.

We just recorded some Hallowe'en sound effects in Garage Band and the results are terrific. The Snowball just plugs in a works. I'm pleased that a proper USB cable and the nifty tripod are included now.

My usual recording environment is ProTools TDM Mix 24+ with a variety of high quality microphones (Rode, Shure, Neumann, AKG, Beyer et al), but now for simple stuff or even single mic remotes, I'll use the Snowball and.

It's just cool. close [-]

Excellent Piece of Hadware

All I can say for this product is... wow.

I'll be honest, it works EXTREMELY well. Plug and Play this definitely is. The sound quality is leaps and bounds above what I expected out of ... read more [+]a product in it's price range. The additional cardioid and omnidirectional modes were also fairly useful.

I only really have two gripes. First, the included cable could be longer - I would imagine it to be fairly difficult to use a full sized microphone stand with it. Second, the desk tripod could stand to have a bit more height to it. But of course, this all amounts to nitpicking.

Overall, this is probably the best thing I've purchased in a while. The service from Sweetwater was excellent, the product is excellent, and it even shipped earlier than expected! (I'd be forgetful if I didn't include the candy that was in the box.)

All in all, a worthwhile purchase. Pleasure doing business, I'm definitely a patron now. close [-]

Sound quality is very good, clean, clear and picks up on the nuances in my playing. Bass response is pretty good but probably could have been a bit better but that's just how I hear it. Blue makes outstanding mics and this one is no exception. close [-]
