The Blue Yeti is a desktop USB microphone with a few more robust components than most of its competitors. That's presumably why the Yeti, its predecessor, is so popular among home recording enthusiasts. The Yeti is not only reasonably priced, but it also produces recording qualities that are just marginally inferior to those obtained with a more studio-appropriate microphone. Whatever you think of USB microphones, they will get you 90% of the way to “good” recordings if you don't want to spend a lot of money. The performer's and mixer's ability and experience, just like in photography, are far more significant than the tools they utilize.
A microphone is a tool that will not do all of the work for you, but will treat you well if you put in the effort.
You'll want to speak directly to the Blue Yeti after you've set it up, rather than into the top. Because the diaphragms are oriented to the front, sides, and back, rather than outward as with microphones on TV, this is the case. This allows you to use the microphone in a variety of ways, even if the positioning is a little different than you're used to. The pickup pattern selector will come in handy if you find yourself jumping between podcasting, streaming, and recording many persons at the same time.
