My friend picked up a Blue Yeti USB Mic. I'm not familiar with them and was wondering what to expect. I want to use it to record samples, he wants to record metal covers. Does anyone in here own one? What are its strengths/limitations?

For instruments it's not very good, for instruments I'd get an SM57 at least.
For recording little things like sounds in your room or whatever or you singing or talking it's fine.

I got a cheap mic from Best Buy for $50 and I used to record uke/guitar on it perfectly..
Just try it and find out for yourself.

Have it/love it. It should be fine for samples but it's intended for vocals.
@Chad but you don't have the yeti.....

My thanks to both of you! We spent a few hours just recording random stuff and had a blast. Its got great quality for the price, I think. Well worth the money.
