I have a Blue Snowball on the way to my house. I was wondering which of the three switches I should set the mic to (there are different modes, but simply labeled as 1 2 3). I will be in a room with quite a bit of background noise, a television and a fan are my main concerns. So I won't be in a quiet room or anything like that. I will be using this mic for simple voice communication such as skype.
A concern I have is the placement of the mic, I sit at my desk with the keyboard close to the edge and won't have room to place the mic and stand directly in front of my mouth (and in front of the keyboard) nor would I want it to impede my typing which I believe it certainly would if it were sitting b/t myself and the keys. So I will be placing the Snowball at an angle and to my left most likely about 18 inches away. Would this be acceptable? Would I need to use a different mic setting?
Also, is anyone familiar with 3rd party software to make keybinding that could mute the mic? I'm shocked that it has no mute at this pricepoint but hey..
