General
The Blue Yeti Studio Blackout Pack has been carefully and exclusively curated for vocal productions. Every tool essential to the production of professional vocal recordings has been included: the Blue Yeti USB Microphone, Presonus Studio One Artist recording software and the studio-worthy, Izotope vocal-tuning software plug-in, Ozone Elements. With this compact yet highly comprehensive list of gear, the quality of voice-over work, podcasts and straight-up vocals is immediately lifted to studio level.
The Blue Yeti USB Microphone
This microphone has been fitted with three capsules so that it's capable of registering and recording in four different pickup-patterns. By using the omni-directional pattern, you can even record a whole band while the cardioid pattern is best used for singing and voice-overs and the stereo pickup-pattern can be used to make beautifully large-sounding recordings. The Blue Yeti microphone even has a smart built-in headphone amplifier with volume control, so a set of headphones can be connected for direct monitoring while recording.
Presonus Studio One Artist and Izotope Ozone Elements
Presonus are well known for producing outstanding software as well as hardware. Studio One Artist is a software package designed for professional level audio recording and mixing, can record multiple tracks simultaneously and comes with a number of effects plug-ins to add polish and texture to audio productions. Meanwhile, the added copy of Izotope Ozone Elements gives you a plug-in that offers a number of pre and post-production presets. Every one of its 10 processors is designed to add body and depth to any vocal recording, normalise volume levels to avoid peaks, maintain pitch, minimise hard 'S' and 'P' sounds and plenty more.
