Blue Yeti Technical Question

Hey guys. My son just introduced me to you guys and I LOVE IT!

I just bought a Blue Yeti microphone for my podcast (I won't mention it here so I'm not accused of shameless plugging... though I'd love to of course :-).

I have been testing it and am wondering...

When you guys used a Yeti you were both sitting a good 18 inches away from it and still your voices were full-sounding - you didn't sound like you were 18" from the mic. Sounded like you were more like 4-6 inches.

When I set my mic up (cardioid, etc) and recorded at 18 inches away or so, it sounded like I was away from the mic. I have to pull the mic in much closer to get that nice rich and full sound I want - or just to not sound like I'm in a room away from the mic.

Is this a post -production thing?

I use a MAC BTW.

I figured this out BTW.

Rather than me typing it all out again, you can discover how by searching for Survivor Talk with D and D on Facebook. I posted on my podcasts Facebook group.

I was told it was okay to shamelessly plug, so here goes.

My best friend David and I do a weekly podcast about the show Survivor called SurvivorTalk with D&D. We have a blog at http://www.survivortalkwithdandd.com and you can find our podcast on iTunes and Stitcher.

Oh, if you don't want to look it up... My room was too big and spacious... I am moving my recording station to my son's room when he goes off to college.
