hello, The Blue Snowball is a Fantastic Microphone! The Only problem Is that its Pretty Quiet. I do commentaries and things of that nature. i have it on the second setting which sounds great but is really quiet. i have tried the first setting but its to sensitive (you can here my PC in the Backround) i have tried turning up the volume on everything. nothing has worked for me. is there anything i could do to make it louder? thank you
