Blue Microphones Snowball Review
The Blue Snowball USB Microphone is an excellent choice if you're looking for a USB microphone to do some voice overs, podcasting, sampling or live recording.
From the creators of the very popular Blue Microphones Snowflake you know this USB microphone is going to rock! Normally most microphones have one pattern and one pattern only. So their either cardioid or omnidirectional etc. Well the Blue Snowball has two capsules to choose from omnidirectional and cardioid!
How does this help? Well, it means your not restricted to what you want to record now with the Blue Microphone Snowball Mic. You can record something directly in front like your voice and some thing all around like a meeting or band rehearsal and still get great quality recordings!
Making LIfe Easier For You!
The people over at Blue Microphones have done everything in their power to make the using the Blue Microphones Snowball the easiest thing under the sun.
1. They give you a USB cable.
2. They supply you with a desk top stand (tripod)
3. It's Plug n Play - No drivers required.
4. It's Mac OSX and PC Compatible.
5. The optional Blue Ringer Shock Mount. (which looks way cool and is dirt cheap!)
I swear the hardest part about the Blue Snowball USB Microphone is picking which color you want!

Hi Isaac, are you using Mac or PC?
If its PC then it going to be a hassle because its virtually impossible to run 2 audiocards at the same time for PC. When it comes to the MAC things are different. However, I haven't installed Reason on my MBP yet but I'll look into it as I want to use my Snowball USB as well.
How do I use a USB microphone in Record?

I recently bought a Snowball and love it, but I cant use it with Propellerheads reason 5.0 because it doesnt appear as an option in the audio settings. Anyone know how to solve this issue? I want to use the snowball for live sampling in reason
