First off, sorry if this is the wrong category.
I am getting into YouTube and just picked up a Blue Snowball iCE. Since I did not know at the time I quickly learned there is a difference between the iCE and the snowball. My problem is it is picking up my keyboard and mouse clicks. EVERY one of them! I am testing it out in audacity and the I put the recording level to 0.01! It still picks it all up. Just quieter. So instead of a loud mouse click its more of a faint mouse click. This also makes my voice extremely quiet even though the microphone is barely 5 inches from my mouth.
To top it all off, I tried to see what would happen using my headphones. I wanted to just have them for the audio but they have the mic so I wanted to see what would happen. Same thing. (my headphones are the Razer Kraken 7.1 Chromas) At .01 level - even my headset picks up my keyboard sounds. It's starting to piss me off.
If anyone could lead me to some setting I'm missing or something I'm doing wrong I would be so grateful. I can also return the Snowball iCE to Fry's if needed. Since I bought it just today.
PS. I have ordered both a pop filter and a mic stand on Amazon. But I'm not sure if those would help. Thanks.
