Blue Yeti Microphones for Podcasting - weird feedback

Hi - I am working in GarageBand on creating a podcast. I am using two Blue Yeti microphones connected to my 2017 MacBook Pro. Normally, I can monitor my own sound through the microphone itself and some headphones. At one point, I was also able to monitor the other speakers audio through my headphones. Is there a way where both microphones will be able to monitor the audio from both microphones? I've created an aggregate device, connected both microphones, and can record two separate audio tracks in GarageBand. But, if I select the option to monitor on both, there's a weird echo and it sounds awful. I can select only one to monitor, but one person would monitor both, while the second person can only monitor themselves. Please advise.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Hello AnthonyMessedUp,


Thanks for posting on Apple Support Communities. We understand that you are using two Blue Yeti microphones with GarageBand and are hearing an echo. You've done some troubleshooting by changing up the configuration and the issue only occurs when both microphones are set to monitor sound. Have you tried testing them in a different user account on your Mac? If you don't have one already you can create one for testing purposes. Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Also make sure your OS is up to date as well. How to update the software on your Mac.


You also may want to reach out to Blue Yeti support directly. Blue-Yeti Support. In the Troubleshooting section near the bottom of the page there is a solution for possible feedback when using the microphone.


Cheers!
