Hi.
I have a problem with my setup when I do recordings. I own a Blue Yeti microphone which sounds great when my headphones are directly plugged into them, but when I plug my headphones into my PC and listen it sounds really bland. The same goes for recording with Audacity. Currently I am using on board sound with a ASRock Z77 Extreme4 motherboard, will buying a sound card fix this issue? Also I am using USB 3 for the microphone.
Why is this happening?
My theories are either
the sound quality is lost when transmitting from mic to my PC or;
the sound quality isn't lost but when played through my PC it sounds crap because I haven't got a sound card.
I want to do some recordings of vocals and acoustic instruments so the sound quality must be as good as I can achieve. If the quality of the recordings are as good as the quality outputted by the headphone amplifier on the Blue Yeti than I will be very happy.
