So I recently "upgraded" from a Blue Yeti USB microphone, to a AT 2040 XLR with the Evo 4 interface. But I've had nothing but issues.
First of all the 2040 is so quiet that people can't hear me in chat, unless I turn the gain on the Evo 4 to 100%. I'm fairlyu certian that at 100% gain it should be blown out and clipping, but as of now, it brings the microphone up to a normal level. The issue this creates however that as a dynamic microphone, its only supposed to capture auido from directly infront of the mic. But as gain needs to be set top 100% it now also picks up background noise, such as aeroplanes, the dog, and even me breathing (which is gross). It only really picks up my voice when the microphone is whithin an inch of my mouth, but then it just picks up all the breathing sounds. Weirdly while being to hear me breathing, it still picks up my voice much quieter than ther Yeti, But the Yeti wont pick up breathing.
I have a brand new XLR cable, I have tried to change the USB port the interface is connected to the PC on, and I have the volume in windows sound settings on maximum, still to no avail. I have re-downloaded and installed the EVO 4 drivers.
Now worst of all in Audicty it actually sounds like the Yeti picks up a fuller sound. Ive seen youtube videos of the 2040 and they seem fine. I feel like I've missed something, so if anyone has any ideas id be apprecative.
