- DO NOT BUY the Snowball iCE without first watching this video. The Snowball iCE is an incredible microphone, but without editing, the audio quality is mediocre at best. This video will explain how to make your Snowball sound like a professional microphone five times the price.

About me & my channel:
Hey! My name is Jason R., and I started this TH-cam channel in 2016, with the goal in mind to create high-quality, unique tech videos for TH-cam. The response and growth I saw over the first several years of uploading videos absolutely stunned me, and making videos that genuinely helped people made me incredibly happy. Where I am today, I've gathered an incredible, supportive audience that I create regular technology and lifestyle videos for. But one thing I always want to emphasize on my channel is growth: meaning I want to create better, more useful, and more unique videos, grow my audience, and eventually make a career out of this hobby. If you support me and this vision, then please subscribe and we can make this happen!

I got drew in with the clickbaity title and thumbnail and stayed for the high class content, subbed! Also getting the mic too haha ty!
Agh, you're too kind! 😆
@@jasonrtech still clickbait tho
Still salmon tho
Kinda like a mr beast video lol
Me too
Wow, this really is the video for this mic. You should be awarded for single handedly increasing the sales of blue snowball ice by a few dozens!
Six minutes of my time and now I am ready to start recording audiobooks. Thank you sir.
Thank you so much, I've been struggling a lot using snow ball ice, I was thinking about quitting, but your tutor video really help me develop more confidence, I want to thank you for all my young audience because your skills truely make my audio book sound BETTER!! Wish you the best!!!
That literally makes me so happy to hear that! I'm so glad I was able to help, even in a small way. I wish you the best as well 😊
Good work! Thanks for the effort to share all those tips to the audience. I much appreciate clarity and easiness of your step by step recipe, to get record in good quality audio! Stay tuned and keep great results or get even better... cheers!
Glad it was helpful! :)
timestamps for comparing the audios:

(ignore this lmao i'm just comparing them side by side)
Thank you! Good to know this.
Bro deadass just found your channel and you deserve so many more subs for how high quality your videos are
Thanks, man! 😀
@Erica X = Doubt
@@Leibbi What do you mean X = Doubt. She is right. Views are more important than subs. No wonder you only have 40 subs
I might not have a YT Channel but I used to have one. I had a few hundred views per video but only 60 subs
@@hustlerscentralclips ok boomer
dude, would ve helped iif you didnt have your backkground music on while trying to do an audio video!?!?!?
Sorry; I'll take that into consideration next time 👍
Ja
Jason R. - AeriumTV honestly dude, idk abt this guy but i was fine with it lol. Good vid man!
yeah he claims to know loads about audio but can't even mix correctly.
Lmao
I had no idea how much this mic’s audio could improve, thank you for making this
See my first video audio was horrible, been searching frantically on how to improve ordering this mic and following your instructions thank you!
Wow, this is a very high quality recording thank you so much!
Thanks, I think this is the best video on Blue Snowball iCE microphone on YT. There are many great reviews and comparisons, but this one clearly shows how to make it sound better with open-source tools, I appreciate it. You totally deserve more subs, all videos are high quality! I had purchased mic already and I have done it without watching the video, but I blame timing ;-)
Thanks man, I really appreciate that! :)
I am so thankful to have found your video. I haven't found a video for anything as helpful and genuine as this. A lot of instructional youtube videos don't always give their full honest opinion and don't always explain everything. However, you answered everything that I needed to know especially the editing part! I just subbed!
I love hearing stuff like that! Thank you so much! :)
Excellent. This is the video I've been looking for for the exact sort of audio quality. Can't wait to try it.
Getting this mic tomorrow. Can't wait!
Edit: this is perfect! Especially with your settings!
Is it good for recording vocals for a song?
Thanks for the handy tips don’t really need it but stil I enjoy watching it
Haha, you're the best man 🙌
Dude, thanks for the awesome vid. I am getting the Blue Snowball Ice today and I will definitely use your settings.
Thank you so much! I just ordered a snowball and I was wondering how to clean up the audio. I’m definitely subscribing😊
Thanks a lot for posting this! I'm thinking about ordering a cheap Mic for Christmas and I heard this was a great cheat Mic to get so I'm doing my research. I'm also a noob when it comes to audio so I appreciate you posting this because I want my recordings to sound good. 👍
You're welcome! And I appreciate the support :)
why does this have 400 views it needs like 900,000 or a million or so
You're too kind ☺☺☺
(But I agree lol)
Wow, it hits 100K now.
200k :>

Just got one of these for my birthday recently, and watching this before using it was definitely very helpful! Thanks a bunch
bought the blue a month ago and have had some okay audio but thanks to you and your viewers comments my mic sounds dope now thanks man
An intensely helpful video, thank you!
I intensely appreciate that :)
This was a life changer! Thank you so much bro!
You're welcome, man! :)
@@jasonrtech do u need to keep audacity running in the background ?
Really glad I found your channel. Great stuff! Thanks! 🙏🏼
Thanks for this video dude, definitely helped my audio be so much better, you’re a lifesaver
Really appreciate the helpful instructions you gave in this video man, keep it up. One point to note would be to not include background music in your videos when you're doing Microphone Reviews in the future. It just helps people judge the quality of the microphone better. Cheers!
You are going to hit a million subs real soon, Period! I will tell you why, being a youtuber myself, i have realized that VOICE is the most important thing to grab the viewer's attention and the way you deliver your speech is really professional! Good Luck.
Thanks, I really appreciate that! 😊
Lol he never hit it
Thank you for this vid! You presented in a way that even a noob like me could understand. I was just about to order my Snowball mic when I ran across your vid, now the only problem is your voice sounds so incredible, you have my expectations sky high how my voice will sound after all your recommended plugins...lol
Just ordered this using your link and looking forward to using what I learned here to make my videos better in the future - thank you so much for sharing this!!
Absolutely loved this video! Thank you for showing us the tools you use, my boyfriend just got me this mic and I'm super excited, this video gave me the tools I needed to definitely sound better, you're awesome!
Oh I'm so sorry i didn't watch the whole video so so so so sorry! Amazing tips and really helpful, THANK YOU *SO MUCH*!
No problem, you're welcome :)
Legit one of the first genuinely helpful YT videos I have ever seen. I'll press click and collect on that Blue Snowball iCE now...
Awesome video, very informative
You literally solved all my problems with the snowball ty
Glad I could help :)
Thanks man. I have a blue yeti and this made it sound better when editing the audio.
You're welcome!
Thanks for making this video! I've had a Snowball iCE for a while, and I didn't know about any of this. Subscribed.
Thank you so much for this video! Done the steps above and noticed a massive difference!! Thank you!!
How would you make the same effect for the mic if you are streaming.
Also can you do the exact things if streaming with a xlr mic.
You can use a digital EQ, like voicemeeter banana
Great advice, cant wait to apply. You just saved me from upgrading prematurely AND buying a lav mic. Cheers bro!
Thanks man, I love hearing that :)
Useful info. Thanks a lot
Great content!
I ordered this 3 mins in the video 😂 btw I subbed
This was so helpful, thank you for this! Also, start a jazz radio show, I will BE THERE for this honeybutter voice.
Thanks & you're welcome :)
Bro this was great thanks a lot
Thank you mate! That’s a brilliant help I just picked up the mic and gonna try it out now
your voice is lowkey so satisfying lol
Appreciate that! :)
Yep
Like Markiplier lol
Great job with keeping the watermark in the background music
Very professional
**attempts to keep calm**
It's not a watermark, it's a producer tag, from a producer I have permission to use the instrumental from.
Hate somewhere else lol
Jason R. - AeriumTV
I should’ve pointed out my use of sarcasm in this comment
I’m sorry if I offended you by commenting/complaining about the background music
I was making a point sarcastically
I couldn’t care less if you used trumpets as your background music.
So “Hate somewhere else lol” is kind of a petty point to make because I wasn’t intending to offend anyone/hurt their feelings in any way
Jason R. - AeriumTV wasn’t hating,
Just wondering
Ur glasses are awesome ty for the video ! 😀
Thanks very much! This was very helpful.

Thanks for video

I casually clicked on your channel, looking at the comments, and noticed a comment that was questioning the amount of your subscribers. I thought “this guy probably has 1.5 million” and my heart jumped when you had 15k. You definitely deserve more, my guy. ❤️
I appreciate this so much :)
You earned my subscribe, great video! ✍
THANK YOU THIS HELP ME SO MUCH
Great presentation and super valuable content! My question is are you able to apply those filters to the sound for live recording or are those purely a post production edit?
No worries! I just found your more recent video answering exactly this question!
@@jaymanning4714 can you tell me pls i can't find the video T_T
As a beginning voice actor, currently using the mic in my built in corsair headset (still decent sounding in my opinion but gotta follow industry) I'm considering picking one of these up at one point, if not a Yeti. I thank you for making this video, and I will probably be referring to it in future. Can I use the same edits on the audio recorded from my headset or is this snowball specific? If you need a sample of my current mic sound, there is a video on my channel that should provide a decent sample, SkyGrid Episode 4, just look for the special message part, that's just me talking
You're welcome for the video! As for the edits, you'd totally be able to use the exact same plugins and effects for audio from a different mic. However, you'd probably have to tweak the settings to make sure they suite the mic. Best of luck 👍
Super! Thank you so much for this video
I´m completely passionate for your chanel, and also for this mic, cause you made me buy it!! Keep it up your good job guy! Hugs from Brazil!
Thanks a lot :)
Most mics are going to start sounding pretty meh once you getting 6-10" away. I'd be curious to see how this mic sounds 4" away with a pop filter instead of 6"+ and turning the mic at an angle. I imagine you're losing quite a bit of audio quality from pointing the mic away. The most sensitive part of the mic is no longer pointing directly at the sound source which is detrimental. I'd recommend speaking directly into the center of the mic 4" away and buying a 10$ pop filter off amazon before you start doing all the editing. That being said, I did just buy one of these to use with my phone for recording demos I'm excited to see how it sounds. Good video!
I've had the Blue Ice Snowball for 5 years now and I've had no problems. It has a pop filter built-in under the metal filter (grill) and it works great. But I am soft on my "P" & "S" sounds. So I never have issues with hard sounds in recordings.
Also, the BEST mics are 1/4" phono jack mics or 3.5mm phono jack mics. Then your sound processor (MPU) or sound card does all the audio processing and you get high quality audio. USB mics are digitilized immediately into the same packets of data that computer files are composed of. So that is something to consider as well.
USB mics compile audio data via software rather than through the hardware as USB bypasses the MPU.
The best microphones are XLR, but they're out of most people's price range because you gotta buy a studio sound card with phantom power. I have an AT2035 with a nice preamp and it's awesome.
One of the reasons why XLR is so awesome is because the cable has noise cancelling built into it, this means the wire can't pickup any interference from your computer.
GREAT video Thanks man thump up
This was super awesome and helpful! Thank you 😁
I dont know if its me but it sounds like he just raised the mic volume and removed backround noise
For livestreaming, could any of the voicemeeter plugins make the quality this good if you work around with it?
Have u figured this out?

Perfect! I needed this video

Can I apply these effects live for calls
Thanks man im trying to start youtube but i tryed with my microphone on my head set but struggled and i now have enough money to but the blue snow ball.
Ive also allways had trouble understanding the audio portion of recording and this explained it in a way i can now understand.Thanks so much man you got my sub,well earned.
Glad it could help man, and good luck! 🤞🏼
@@jasonrtech thanks
Im getting the mic, excellent video and I know that it takes hard work. You earned my sub man!

how can you get excellent sound quality if it is live? thanks for the answer
dud i use discord how to do it in discord

How do I apply the plugins?
Great vid, just picked up this mic and will definitely be using these settings
omg this is going to be so helpful for my future videos... thank you so much!
whats the alternative for You Wa Shock for mac users?

Great Job! I was trying to find a budget microphone, and had settled on the snowball iCE, but from the mic tests, I was disappointed. I felt like It was too expensive, but this made the audio sound much better! I know this is a year late, but thank you. Without this video I probably would still be using the same trash microphone, as this convinced me to buy it! Honestly, Thank you so much for these tricks.
Thanks so much , now my audio will be improved! Keep up the work on the channel
Really helps a lot !
how does one go about installing the reverb and spitfish extensions because i am *LOST*
For Tal reverb, you just download it and put it into audacity plug ins folder.
Its the same thing for Spitfish
Can you make it sound better while streaming live with audacity
Unfortunately, Audacity doesn't support live audio edits. I'm working on a new video that'll cover realtime audio edits using OBS :)
It's neat seeing people still talk about Audacity. I have been using it off and on for over 20 years.
I was trying to find the best mic for a beginner, because I'm new to streaming and making yt videos. While I was trying to find a good mic, I came across this (thinking it was a hate vid) and instead it completely made me want to buy it! THANK YOU! Plus for this great sounding audio the plugins are FREE. That's the best. If it wasn't for this video, I wouldn't have had any interest in this mic. It sounds great! With your audio, it feels like you should have 1 mil subs!
Is this microphone good for recording singing voices, like a studio
Yep, I actually made an entire song cover using this mic 👍
Great
@@jasonrtech send me a link to the song you made with it
Is it possible to change the voice so nicely live? For example when livestreaming or in a discord call. Because what you showed is really good for basically editing after the video, but how would I do it live?
Unfortunately, all the tips shown are for post production. I'll probably do a video at some point covering realtime edits 👍
@@jasonrtech thanks for the the reply, and I am excited for that video, would be super helpful :D
Download VoiceMeeter Banana
@@Raphipod Thanks, I will check it out!
Thank you, this really helped!
I've looked at a lot of videos to get this right and this guy has nailed it. What a difference many thanks! If anyone is struggling with PAL reverb you must download the 32 bit version for windows or it won't work. Wish I had seen this before recording my videos.
Appreciate that & good tip 👍🏼
nice try Markiplier !!! Just kidding. Great vid/ hook bro. you do deserve more subs for the quality of this content. well, here's one more for ya. keep up the good work.
Thanks for the support man! And you have no idea how many Markiplier comments I get lol
Amo a este buen hombre
Gracias!
Thank you! Perfect video for what I was looking for
You're welcome!
Video was very helpful, thanks!
is there a way to apply the effects in real time? Because if i wamt to Talk to my friends or livestream this wont work right?
th-cam.com/video/2GLopfo7-Mc/w-d-xo.html
do you know if I can use this through discord as well so it isn't just for voice overs?
NinjaWolfist thinking the same thing
Bixzerx I think he means can you do these edits while being “live” in a discord call
Just got a blue snowball ice because of you! thank you for all this helpful content!
This was very informative
If I want to make a stream it’s gonna sound bad withaut editing?
Somewhat... it'll sound okay but not as good as it could.
If I wanted to open this audio file in say IMovie, would I still save it as a wav file?
Yep, iMovie works just fine with WAV files 👍
Thanks a lot!
Yep :)
I got the Blue Ball because of this video. And I use the effects that were used and it sounds great. Liked and subbed. 👍
Awesome content! Thank you!
