abunda_amazon_reviews My brother uses this as his main microphone and he gets incredible vocals using it. Naturally, he recommended it. I bought one, recorded a few times with it, but then I started having problems. The mic would sometimes take 30 seconds or more to “connect”... and I would have to jostle it to get it working. I suspect it was a problem with the phantom power in the mic itself. I had to return it. The recordings I got with it were okay, but I didn’t get to really experiment with it because of the problems I had with it. Sometimes even great products are subject to problems. It happens. I haven’t given up on blue. As it was... I went with another mic... the Aston Spirit. I didn’t want to chance getting another similarly affected mic from the same batch at Amazon.;;Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2018;;4.0 out of 5 stars;;Good, but had problems....;;Fernando H. Ramirez;;;Update: Received the replacement wicked fast! This mic is fantastic. So smooth, so natural. Although it is kinda pre eq'd and plug and play ready, it does respond well to eq changes and isn't hard to work with like other mid range mids. The shock mount is meh. Looks good. Feels good. But Blue mounts are known for a shorter lifespan. Dont let that stop you from getting this amazing microphone. Waiting on a replacement. First one has a nasty 100hz and below hum. I have cheap mics that don't hum as much. Package was sealed so it's not a janky return, it came from the manufacturer like that. Tried different cables, pre's, etc. No good. I'll update once I get the replacement. If it wasn't for the hum, it's one of the most natural sounding buttery smooth mics I've heard. Not in your face or pushy, yeah, I'm looking at you SM7B and NT1. If your mix is busy you'll have to make it up a little bit but that's an easy fix.;;Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2020;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Smooth like buttah.;;Nathan Vaughn;;;People, let me tell you... I have invested in this mic and WOW!! I have a semi deep voice in my opinion. I get get compliments on my voice all the time. And week this mic it compliments the hell out of my voice. If you really want some affordable or just want great work. Please invest! You can and will not go wrong with this awesome tool here!! I wish you guys the best with your craft!;;Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Ohh my....;;UncleSmurf;;;Do not buy, when I record with this (which I don’t at all). Because it keeps crackling even when the interface is at a very low volume and my voice isn’t projecting loudly. I would not recommend, look into other mics - this one simply isn’t worth it especially with this price.;;Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2019;;1.0 out of 5 stars;;Do not buy.;;L G;;;I tried everything I could think of and could not get this item to come to life at all. Admittedly, I’m no mic genius, but found that I probably needed to buy a pre-amp to get the juices going properly, but STILL, no sign of life. Anyone have any ideas? I’d really like to be able to use this thing!;;Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2020;;3.0 out of 5 stars;;How on Earth do you get this thing to work?;;Robert Partridge;;;This is a wonderful microphone;;Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Beautiful sound quality;;Tobias Recordings;;;This microphone is phenomenal. I paired it with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface, and I achieve that classic, radio-like, warmth. Great sound. Great price.;;Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Best microphone I've ever owned;;Ken;;;This is a great mic and you will not be sorry.;;Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Great Mic;;edward thompson
