Thanks a lot, Steve, this is a great short and concise video! Keep up the good work!
you are welcome. im glad it was helpful.
Thank you Steve. Right to the point. I followed your steps exactly and it worked great. Good catch on the audio level.
awesome. glad to help. I like cooking so I shall check out your channel.
WOW....this is one of those 'perfect' videos....when you brought up the computer I immediately thought 'wait why not use a power brick' and then you answered that. I was concerned about clipping but you answered that as well! Excellent video, and you saved me ...probably $200 simply because I was on amazon frustrated at my audio quality with the Rode mic and missing how clean my Yeti sounded. Huge thanks you got a like and a subscribe!
aww man I am so happy to hear I was able to help. enjoy your gear. WOO
Great, straight forward video, thanks.
You’re welcome. I’m happy the video was helpful to you.
HUGE thumbs up from me Steve!!! I LITERALLY needed to know this!!! I have the exact same mic (except mine is a blue-silver color) and had to Idea I could connect it directly to the canon M50!!!
Actually, I did look this up on youtube a year ago, and there wasn't really any content that covered THIS specifically [well, at least nothing simple or to the point or SPECIFIC specific about what you just covered]
Myself and my future comedy music etc say a HUGE thank you!!! REALLY happy you took the time to create and post this! Awesome job!
😊❤👍 🙌 🙌 🙌
yeah it works a treat. im glad i could help WOOOOOO haha.
@@SteveSantoianni now I feel bad for the portion of the population who dislike my singing, LMAO!!!
Oooh singing videos?
@@SteveSantoianni I have one music parody on my channel, and I do LOVE to sing... I'm not a pro, but I sing from the heart... as well as some decent impersonations too lol! It makes me happy and I have fun with it, so that's all that matters
Really would have LOVED to have seen your vid prior to the weekend... wouldn't have had to struggle to synch up all the harmonies for my current [terrible] newfie song lol
Very helpful and easy to follow. Thanks...
you're welcome. I am glad it worked for you.
Thanks, this was super helpful
Glad it helped!
Thank you. Very informative
you're very welcome.
Very useful, thank you!
Glad I could help. 😀
Thank you so much, Steve.
Super helpful! Thank you!
You are very welcome.

Thanks, man! very helpful!
no problem at all. you are welcome.
you're welcome. thank you for the watch.
great video thanks
you are welcome.
Thank you very much
You’re welcome very much
Great video!
Thank you Juan
Nice video thanks
you're welcome. glad it helped.
You are a god!!!!
small g. LOL thank you.
thank you!
you're welcome. I hope you got it all working :)
Wish I could give you another thumbs up on this video Steve! I JUST bought a 3.5mm amazon basics 8 foot cable, and it totally worked!!!
The only "problem" I had when setting up was the bars on the camera stopped moving and the mic stopped working when the energy saving feature on my macbook pro shut the mac's monitor off lol... so I just temporarily changed the settings on that, and it was totally fine!
Lemme know though if you find out another way to power the mic without plugging it into a laptop, would be useful to have other options. Also, any recommendations on monitoring your mic sound using headphones... I guess you'd plug the headphones into the laptop(??)
Otherwise this is AWESOME!
😊❤👍
lol yeah. there are so many variables when doing things. just when you think you got em all. BOOM
If you get a USB hub that is "self-powered" or "bus-powered" this will have enough power for power-hungry mics like the Yeti.
Yes, you can monitor the audio by plugging your headphones into your laptop. Good to go!
i like u man tnx
You’re welcome.
thanks you very much. but do you also have the problem, that there is a quite noticable white noise in the background, when the mic is connected to the cam? i dont notice the white noise when the mic records audio via computer. is this a camera problem or cable? would be very thankful for any advice
Hi Charlotte. I have never had that problem before. Are you using a super long cable? The cable i use is actually really long and i have never noticed any white noise. Maybe its an incorrect audio cable?
Thanks for the video, I have this setup but sometimes the recording produces static noise and I can’t seem to figure out why
🤔 maybe faulty or old audio cable? Or maybe the usb cable needs to be replaced? 🤔
Yeah it’s weird the video & audio is fine then after like 5 mins it goes to static noise .. I’ll update the wires. Thanks!
helpful thank you how do i use my camera as a webcam??
I have a video on that. Basically you just need a capture card. HDMI capture card. Once you plug it in the software should detect it.
Hi Steve, would like to ask if blue nano yeti has the same process as well? Thanks.
hey Nathan. I do not own that one but if it has the USB out to power the mic and the audio port it should indeed work the exact same way. if you want, find me on twitter strange177a and send me a tweet/pic of the bottom of the mic.
Great video! How do you add earphones?
if you want to monitor audio. well if i am using my yeti with my camera then i use the camera headphone jack. not all cameras have this.
Have the same setup and used it to record some videos without a problem. However, now I have an intermittent audio loss. I've swopped every cable/mic combo and the audio comes and goes randomly. Have you had any similar problems? I've also factory reset the camera and still the random loss of audio.
I have the same problem, pretty aggravating
@@OneLColin update: I discovered it was down to my computer's sleep settings which for some reason would turn my audio off. I set sleep to 30 mins and it's been fine ever since.
@@PaulRansonArt thank you so much!
Super vidéo. 👌 I just bought my mark 2. But I have no idea how to open the mic protection thing to plug the mic. It seems to be blocked 🚫 😕
Really? The little port cover won’t open? That’s so weird.
@@SteveSantoianni hi Steve, i eventually managed to open it with the help of spoon as i didnt want to break my nail, it was seriously tight. thank you
Hey Steve! Thanks for the video. Is this what you suggest for the #2? Amazon Basics 3.5 mm Male to Male Stereo Audio Cable
hey Zo. that is exactly what I bought. I bought a 4 foot and an 8 foot. I don't think I'll ever use the 4 foot though lol. It's worked great for me.
@@SteveSantoianni Awesome! Thanks for letting me know.
@@zosmagicmirrortarot7245 you are very welcome. thank you for the watch.
Please make shure mv7 microphone video with this canon camera 😊
hey there i don't own that mic but it should owrk the same way. USB for power and then 3.5mm cable from mic to camera
Why am I getting hissing when hooking up to the Canon? Even when I put my mic volume all the way down, and turn it down in windows settings, there is hissing. Even though the sound settings on my camera never get to yellow bars. Thanks!
i am not good with stuff like thsi but are you using a TRS cable or TRRS cable? are you using the battery or dummy battery? sometimes i get hiss on dummy battery when i use a mic like the rode videomic pro
Great job. Do I need the Blue Yeti Blackout mic for my TH-cam videos. Mine suck so far.
do you NEED it? I would say you def need a mic. There are many more expensive mics but price to quality a lot of people use this mic and I am very happy with it. i don't think you would be disappointed.
I have the same one [in a different color] and I love mine! 😊❤👍
nice video! but my blue yeti keep cutting out for no reason... any way i can fix that? thanks
Is the yeti losing power? Is the light turning off or do you think its the audio cable?
Can you link the thing with all the ports that you plugged into the side of your laptop?
Hyper Drive 7 port dongle.
Hey Steve, I did everything you’ve mentioned and it’s still recording through my camera instead of my microphone. Any tips? Thanks in advance
I know this is going to sound stupid, but is the USB cable plugged into a computer while the audio cable is in the camera?
Hi Steve, quick question, I did everything including changing the camera setting, but when I play the video back on my laptop the audio is still very low. Is there something else I need to do on the computer side of things? Like is there a software you use to boost the mic levels since the camera audio setting is in manual & turned all the way down? I would really appreciate your insight thank you.
I currently use my yeti still with a Sony ZV-E10. on the back of the yeti I have the volume I would say 50% MAX. and my Camera audio at 1 or 2. that records me at about -12dbs then in post I edit to get it to about -6db. I hope this helps.
@@SteveSantoianni thank you so much
Hi! could you please help me? I have everything set up just like you are showing here but my camera is not picking up my yeti sound. The bars on the camera are not moving when I speak to the microphone :( I have the Canon G7X Mark III
If you go into your camera settings for volume what level is it on? If you are using a Canon camera I think you have to turn it from automatic to manual.
@@SteveSantoianni there is no connection with setting automatic to manual and connecting m50 to blue yeti. It's just not possible and author of the video just doesn't understand what he is speaking about. Just copied the information from lots of other useless videos on TH-cam. It's impossible to connect blue yeti and m50 this way.
I don’t see how this could possibly work. The yeti is a headphone out.... the camera is a mic in. They are not the same plug. This video shows a TRS to TRS and I see another video that shows a TRRS to TRRS .... that won’t work for sure
It works. I use it every time i do a video where I’m sitting at a desk. All i know is i use the Audio plug that has two black lines.
@@SteveSantoianni i tested with a TRS (2 black lines) and it does work. TRRS does not - but i lose the sound quality of the yeti - it sounds way better as a usb in the computer - seems to lose its depth/bass as a line mic
Does it work even if I put a 3.5 mm jack into a headphone jack?
It should. That’s how I did it. :)
Tried all this and the sound quality is either really bad or I get some kind of buzzing noise. (Using a Blue Yeti connected to a Sony a6400)
Oh no. Which camera are you using? Are you using the. Audio cable with one or two black stripes.
I’m so frustrated I’ve literally tried 3 different aux cords, purchased the one linked from Amazon and still doesn’t work. I’ve never used my yeti before although it’s 2 yes old. I just got around to unboxing it so I don’t think it the mic. The camera is canon m50 mark iI which is only 2 weeks old. 😭😭😭
hmm let's see. you have the yeti plugged into a computer for power and then a TRS cable from the yeti to the camera and you have the M50 audio set to manual and not auto?
@@SteveSantoianni it was the yeti USB cord. I found the original cord and it worked. So strange how the new one I purchased on Amazon didn’t work. Thank you
Is it possible to connect 2 mics using this method?
yes you need to find a splitter. not just an audio splitter though. its a splitter that has one red port and one black port so it will send two mics into the mic port one on the LEFT and one mic on the RIGHT>
My canon eos m50 isn't picking up my blue yeti for some reason. I followed all the steps, bought the correct 3.5 mm jack. I even pushed the db all the way to the right, and it doesn't pick up an sound. Any idea on what to do?
Hey there. I don’t remember if I mentioned it in my video but when you go into your m50 menu. The red camera tab, page number eight. Sound recording should be set to Manual not automatic. Is yours on Manual?
@@SteveSantoianni yes, it is on Manual
@@sleepymerlasmr are you using an audio cable that has TWO black bars on the tip? if your audio cable has THREE black bars on the tip i don't think it will work.
Hi! I have the same issue. were you able to resolve it?
@@PolishASMRGleam not at all :( it seems I will have to record the audio on my pc and record the video with my canon vamera and get it to sync during editing. Which will be tough if i need to cut anything out
how about the quality sound compared with jack audio?
what do you mean jack audio? like if you just used it as a USB mic?
@@SteveSantoianni jack audio 3.5mm
apologies i am a little confused. the quality of using a blue yeti with a mirrorless camera as a mic and what (connected to the jack?) or are you saying just the built in camera mic?
With Canon EOS 80D please ☺️
Hey there. It should work the exact same way no? Does that camera have a different setting panel?
i did this,but didn't work...my camera is sony zve10 and my mic is rode podmic USB.....please help me
does your podmic USB have an audio out port? usually they say its a headphone port but you should be able to use a trs cable to plug into the camera. and make sure you are putting it in the mic port of the camera nad not into the headphone port of the cam
What about mark g7x iii
hi i don't own that cam but i would think it is the same
6d mark 2 i dont know how to set the yeti mic level … its sound horible
what i have noticed on my sony a7iii is that i set the camera vol to the minimum 1 and the recording is STILL loud as hell.
Will this work with ATR2100X ?
it should as long as your camera has the audio input. does it have that?
Nice little 45minute explanation ... grrrr!
45 minutes?
