Blue Yeti Pro Microphone won't work with iMovie or Photobooth :(

I have my Yeti Pro connected to my macbook pro (version 10.6.8) that I use with my beats studio headphones. Whenever I record myself in garage band with the mic and the headphones, the audio sounds crystal clear. Whenever I record myself in iMovie or Photo Booth, with the headphones and the Yeti mic, the audio becomes all buzzy and poppy and the sound comes in and out. It sounds awful. In iMovie I made sure to select the Blue USB audio 2.0 option for the voiceover sound option, but the same thing happens. I don't want to have to record my video seperately from my audio and then edit them to match up later.
Please Help!
Thank you

Hi Kevin,
Two suggestions:
Make sure that the camcorder is connected to a power outlet, not running just on battery power;
As alluded to by thesurreyfriends, try a different FireWire cable. If you have a Rocketfish cable, it has been known to cause problems. I have a Belkin 9 pin to 4 pin (FW 800/400) which works perfectly with iMovie '11, using my older Sony DCR-TRV20E.

EDIT: I don't have a Thunderbolt port on my earlier model MacBook Pro, so my situation is different to yours.

  • Blue Yeti Pro Microphone robot voice

    For some reason when I record using my Blue Yeti Pro microphone, it's a lot of times a robot voice. I really can't figure out what's the problem, no matter what USB wire I use. I often record my screen using Screenflow, it records it like a robot voice, since a few days, before it didn't do that. I've tried connecting the USB to my keyboard and my mac, it doesn't work, sometimes it won't even output or input anything. Also when I skype or use teamspeak, other say that after a while I sound like a robot, this really bugs me, I just recorded over 3 hours for youtube, after I had finished, I realised my voice was like a robot all the time, I raelly get ****** of this.

    Hi Tom,
    Long shot, but...
    Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back

  • Blu Yetti Pro Microphone Questions

    Hey Guys
    i just want t pick your brains for a bit i have Blu Yetti Pro USB microphone it works totally fine i can record in logic and  garageband fine but my questions are
    1. if i go to Launchpad>Other>Audio MIDI Setup sometimes the microphone is stuck on mute even though the actual microphone is not muted the only way i can resolve this is by unplugging the usb out of the microphone then replugging it back in and also the microphone won't pickup any sound sometimes unless i go to the input tab and move the input volume slider left to right.
    2. also in Audio MIDI Setup the settings are the standard which is 44100.0 Hz at 2ch-24bit integer i notice in Logic Pro X if i change that to say 96000.0 Hz when i live record in logic Pro X my voice comes out real deep or Extreme Latency(Delay).
    anyways i know these aren't real important questions i just thought if a fellow Helper could shed some light on these questions lol
    if you need any more info let me know ill respond fairly quickly
    thank you for your time guys and girls

    After doing some research, found that it is possible to get rid of original SuperDrive with no issues. And usually all Blu-Ray drives are plug and play and require no driver.
    The Blu-Ray is set region code by software just like with a DVD drive and with limited number of times you can change between regions.
    Best Blu-Ray players are LG as they have the least problems of compatibility with the Mac Pro (unlike the Pioneers).
    Thanks

  • Yoga tablet 2 pro microphone does not work with Skype or Google+ hangout

    I have a new yoga tablet 2 pro, with most recent build and most recent version of skype for android.
    When using skype or hangout, the other party cannot hear me (unless I speak directly into built-in microphone hole from a few inches away).  The mike works fine with OK google, etc.  Skype and hangout also work well with earphone and external mike combo. 
    I think there is a problem with apps accessing microphone gain.......  is there a fix?
    thanks! 

    In order to assist my investigation into these reports, if you are still experiencing this issue could you please provide:
    the model number
    If the model is wifi/3G/LTE
    the OTA your device is running

  • How do you convert go pro camera video to work with iMovie

    How do I convert go pro video to work in iMovie

    Most camera videos are AVCHD videos or MTS videos. You should convert them to iMovie supported video formats with a tool like handbrake or enolsoft video converter for mac.

  • Ken Burns effect won't work with imovie 6.0.3

    I'm hopeful to find a way to use the Ken Burns effect in my 6.0.3 HD imovie. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I can't get it to work.

    Did you empty iMovie's trash after creating your clips? Did you previously apply the Ken Burns effect to that particular clip and now want to change the settings?
    If you already had the clip/photo imported using the Ken Burns effect, and then emptied the trash, you cannot redo the KB settings. It is a bug in iMovie. You will get the black frame when you try. The only thing you can do is reimport the photo.
    Here is an explanation of the problem (Thanks to Matti Haveri) :http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/iMovieHD_6_bugs.html#stillupdate

  • First problem!  iSight won't work for iMovie or PhotoBooth

    It works for iChat AV, but not Photobooth (it did before!) and iMovie (it did work before here too.) Repaired permissions, Zapped PRAM... anyone else have this problem? I'll call Apple tomorrow.

    Apollo:
    When you say, "Before", before when? Before 10.4.4? Before you downloaded some other software? What happened between working and not working? If you backed up your data, do an erase and install. Need more information.

  • External microphone won't work on Macbook Pro

    My external microphone won't work on my Macbook Pro.
    My mic is an SE2200 A, and I'm pluggin that into a Behringer Eurorack UB802 (with Phantom power). This is then connected to a 1/4 inch to 3.5mm adapter so I can plug it into my Macbook Pro.
    If I plug this directly into my Macbook Pro into the headphone socket (which I've been told doubles up as a mic socket), and go to Settings -> Sound -> Input, the mic does not appear on screen at all.
    If I plug it into a 3.5mm to USB adapter, and plug it into a USB port on my mac, then the USB PnP Sound Device appears on the Settings -> Sound -> Input, but no sound is picked up.
    Could any suggest why this isn't working?
    thanks

    You have to use a cable that will break out the 3.5 mm TRRS jack into mic, L, and R.
    I haven't found the right wiring yet and the cables I have tried don't seem to work.
    See this post: What is the wiring digram on the MacBook Pro 3.5 mm TRRS jack?

  • Blue Yeti USB microphone not working in ALSA/PulseAudio

    Hi all,
    I recently bought a Blue Yeti USB microphone. It is supposed to require no drivers for Windows and OS X, and so far, it works well under Windows, but I cannot seem to get it to function on Arch Linux.  As fair warning, although I am relatively experienced with Linux, I don't know much about the internals of ALSA/PA --- up until now, it has just "always worked", so this is my first real foray into the area. I've tried for many days, with no success, to get this thing working.
    So, let's start off first with my configuration.
    I have a few audio devices:
    An on-board audio solution that I don't typically use. For testing, I have connected an old, crappy pair of headphones, but normally I keep this disabled. It has one capture device. (Analog stereo [or 5.1/7.1/etc]  duplex)
    An external DAC that is connected via USB and is output-only. So, no capture devices on that. (Digital/IEC958 output)
    The Blue Yeti itself, which is connected via USB and supports output (it has an internal DAC) as well as input. So, one capture device here. (Digital stereo output and analog stereo input???)
    The HDMI-out stuff for nvidia, which I never use
    Here is the output of "arecord -l":

    If the output of "aplay -L" is needed, let me know, but it's not all that different from arecord -L.
    Here is my /etc/asound.conf:
    defaults.pcm.rate_converter "samplerate_best"
    pcm.!default {
    type pulse
    fallback "sysdefault"
    hint {
    show on
    description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
    ctl.!default {
    type pulse
    fallback "sysdefault"
    # vim:set ft=alsaconf:
    I don't remember where the bulk of that came from; maybe it was installed like that or maybe I put it in there. Here is another useful command showing non-commented-out/non-blank lines in the pulseaudio conf:
    $ egrep -v '^;|^#|^$' /etc/pulse/*.conf
    /etc/pulse/client.conf:autospawn=no
    /etc/pulse/daemon.conf:exit-idle-time=0
    /etc/pulse/daemon.conf:default-sample-rate = 192000
    So, there's not much I've done there. Here's the contents of /proc/asound/cards:

    Honestly, I think that's about all of the configuration info I can give. Here are some screenshots of pavucontrol, though, in case you are not yet sated: http://imgur.com/a/ngyLl
    Now, on to the debugging stuff. First: everything except Blue Yeti recording works. The external DAC works, the on-board audio (both input and output) work, using the DAC in the Blue Yeti to play music/monitor the microphone works (so it works as an output). The only thing that doesn't work is actual recording from the Blue Yeti itself.
    When I try to record from the Blue Yeti with parecord -v, I get very strange behavior. Essentially, the "latency" of the microphone measured is exactly the same as the time it has been recording. That is, if it has been recording for 5 sec, then the latency is 5000000 usec. Also, if I try to record something in Audacity, I get no result except for a message box that says "Latency Correction has caused the recorded audio to be hidden before zero. Audacity has brought it back to start at zero." Also, pavucontrol doesn't show an input volume bar for the Blue Yeti, as in the above screenshots, whereas it normally will for microphones that are getting input. The Yeti is not muted, either, so it should be picking up ambient fan noise and such.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Is there some configuration error I've made? Typically, this sort of stuff simply works out of the box for me, so I am somewhat stuck on what to do. Could it be a driver-level bug?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "mixed with audio in Alsamixer". Can you clarify?
    With that said, my problem did mysteriously fix itself after some update (presumably to alsa). Unfortunately, I noticed it in passing one day while I was changing the volume of something in pavucontrol, so I don't remember the exact update that caused it to work. But yes, my current setup does work now: I can listen to audio through my DAC and use the Yeti for recording. However, I have found that use of the Yeti crashes Google Hangouts, although it works perfectly in every other program I've tried.
    As documentation, here is my current working setup (it is very similar to the above): in PulseAudio, the DAC is set to be a Digital Stereo (IEC958) output. The Yeti (called an 'Integrated Rate Matching Hub' in pavucontrol) is set to be an Analog Stereo Input. In the input devices section, I have the Yeti's volume set to around 58% (-14.31 dB), which is past the base volume a fair ways but produces decent levels for recording. The DAC's volume is set to 100% (0dB gain, the DAC takes care of the level). In alsamixer, I have the mic level for the Yeti set to 40.
    Edit: This is a long-time-later edit, but let me say that when you have multiple USB audio devices, what USB hub and in what order they are connected seems to matter a great deal. If you can't get your Blue Yeti to work, try moving it to a different set of USB ports (controlled by a different controller) on your motherboard. This magically fixes the issue for me.

  • Blue Yeti Pro Mic recognized but not working

    I just recently got a Blue Yeti Pro and I can't get it to work on my Mac. There is no sound coming out of it. It only seems to work when I plug in the headphones. The red light is on, I've tried restarting my Mac, plugging and unplugging the mic, updated my OS, switching usb ports. Nothing seem to work! HELP!!!

    WHEN IT'S SELECTED, THE INPUT VOLUME IS GREYED
    THAT IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM, SOMETHING ELSE IS:

  • I have three Blue Yeti USB Microphones, and when I try to create an aggregate device in Audio MIDI on my MBP it lets me select two microphones but not the third. I need all three for a podcast, any solutions?

    I have three Blue Yeti USB Microphones, and when I try to create an aggregate device in Audio MIDI on my MBP it lets me select two microphones but not the third. At first I thought maybe the third microphone was just defected or something but I tested the mic individually and it works fine. It'll let me use two Blue Yeti's and another microphone but not three Yeti's at once.

    Ive had 2 identical USB AT2020 mics connected at the same time on both macbook pro and macbook Air.
    The "Yeti" mics, are, lets say undesirable, and low to mid computer consumer mics.

  • ISight attached to Mac Pro: microphone no longer working

    Hi all,
    Recently my PowerMac G5 died (coolant leak) and I've had to replace it with a new 2.8GHz Mac Pro.
    I have an original FireWire external iSight camera that I got off eBay fairly recently, and which I'd used (briefly but successfully) with the G5.
    Now that I've got the iSight attached to the new Mac Pro, I find that its microphone doesn't work. As a camera it works fine, but I get no sound input from it. I've tried plugging it into both the front and back FireWire 400 ports on the Mac Pro to see if it works with one and not the other, but it won't work with either. Video image fine; sound input non-working. It definitely worked OK before, when it was attached to the G5.
    My system is completely up to date, as of today (24th July), running Leopard 10.5.4.
    I'm not sure how one is supposed to tell what version of the iSight firmware is installed, but I looked under the FireWire section of Apple System Profiler, and the iSight is listed there as follows:
    iSight:
    Manufacturer: Apple Computer, Inc.
    Model: 0x8
    GUID: 0xA2700040E355E
    Maximum Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec
    Connection Speed: Up to 200 Mb/sec
    Sub-units:
    iSight Unit:
    Unit Software Version: 0x102
    Unit Spec ID: 0xA02D
    iSight Unit:
    Unit Software Version: 0x10
    Unit Spec ID: 0xA27
    iSight Unit:
    Unit Software Version: 0x11
    Unit Spec ID: 0xA27
    iSight Unit:
    Unit Software Version: 0x12
    Unit Spec ID: 0xA27
    Product Revision Level: 1.0.2
    Now, I don't know why there are all those near-identical 'iSight Unit' entries, but I do note that the last line says "Product Revision Level: 1.0.2", so I assume that it means that I've got the 1.0.2 software installed in the camera.
    I checked in the downloads section of Apple's support pages and found that there was an update available to version 1.0.3, and that version 1.0.3 improves audio performance in some way. So I tried to install the update, to at least see if I was able to.
    And the answer is that I wasn't. The updater told me that I couldn't install the update on my machine because it doesn't run on any version of Mac OS X from 10.4 onwards.
    I do still have an old laptop with Tiger installed on it, but I certainly don't have a machine that runs Panther any more, and Panther seems to be the latest OS supported by this particular update; so I can't even see if the 1.0.3 update would fix my problem (and there's no guarantee that it would anyway; it just sounded as though it would be worth a try).
    Can anyone offer any advice about any of the above? I do have a USB headset with a working microphone in it, so the problem isn't a show-stopper for me, but I'd prefer the iSight to work properly if possible.

    First of all, thank you very much: you've just solved my problem!
    To answer your initial question, the iSight did indeed show up as a sound input in all the places it should do so, including the Input tab of Sound in System Preferences (and Skype, and iChat etc.). Everything appeared to be absolutely correct, with the small shortcoming that the microphone didn't actually work!
    However, I followed your advice to extract the iSight 1.0.3 updater from its enclosing package, and having run that, it successfully updated my iSight to the latest software... and bingo! It works!
    So that really was all there was to it. I find it odd that the iSight worked fine on my G5 with Leopard but not on the new Mac Pro, but there you are... I guess that's what firmware updates are for.
    One slight oddity is that System Profiler is still showing the firmware as 1.0.2 (and I've done a 'Refresh' in case the info was cached), but the update did work and the updater application does now report the firmware as 1.0.3. And the main thing is that it does indeed now work correctly!
    So, thanks very much once again. That was a very swift and painless solution to an annoying problem.

  • External microphones don't work with audio input

    Tell me its not true that an ordinary mic won't work with the audio input....I have 2 mics which I know to work mini jack [tried both stereo and mono] and zip! nothing....what is wrong with this equation
    any ideas from the floor? [do I really have to go and buy another usb headset or an iMic to resolve this??
    please tell me there's another option!
    thanks
    Tony

    I have been unable to get the microphone input with a Viewsonic 22" monitor with webcam to work with either iChat or iVisit with my Mac Pro. There have been other reports on the web about newer versions of the OS 10 inactivating the audio input for several programs. Is this why the microphone does not work or is it true that the audio input does not act as one? If the audio input does not work with an external microphone, what is it for?

  • My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter.

    My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter. I also tried the HDMI to DVI adapter ane the Mac-Mini with same result. The monitor does work on my older Macbook Pro that has the DVI connector. Is it a Software/Driver issue ?

    Should be extremely simple, please carefully read Connect multiple displays to your Mac. If you still have problems then it's probably a cable issue that would be resolved by replacing the adapter cable. You should be using this adapter. If you are using a third party adapter that might be your problem!
