I've been really hard on Blue in the past. I can't say I love the Snowball as a recording solution, but the company has made a lot of progress with the Yeti line of mics.
Meeting some of their company reps at their booth in CES, I was happy to find they were game to chat some audio, after they made fun of my "SomeAudioGuy" badge of course.
I was excited to see they had a Spark Digital on display. As we start relying on tablets and smartphones more and more for mobility work (I didn't bring a laptop this year to see if it could be done), hardware solutions are going to be vital.
I'll be following up with Blue to see if i can demo the mic at their studio soon, and I'll make sure to give you guys the 411. More info on the Blue Spark Digital.

This is interesting stuff they're doing with mics, huh? Someone can now record from an iPad practically ANYWHERE, a concept I used to use to be able to record at my school on my iPod and such.
ReplyDeleteIt's really developing to the point where you can get better audio in more places. It'll be interesting to see where this goes.
Oh yah, and don't dis Blue. I personally love my snowball for what I use it for. It may not be the most studio suited mic, but it does work for home recording and other non studio environments.
