Blue Nessie Overview

The Nessie by Blue is an adaptive USB microphone for desktop recording of vocals, instruments, voiceovers and more. Designed to address common pitfalls of recording, Nessie automatically adapts to the source, applying digital processing combined with a built-in pop filter and internal shockmount. Nessie enhances audio so that you get polished results.

Nessie employs a single custom-tuned condenser capsule with a cardioid pattern. Its adaptive processing, including EQ, de-esser and level control, automatically smoothes and refines audio in real time. Nessie also features a zero-latency headphone output for direct monitoring, which is critical for eliminating distracting delay. Headphone volume and instant mute controls are located directly on the microphone.

Three Recording Modes
Nessie's three flexible recording modes:
1) Optimized for richer vocals
2) More detailed instruments
3) Raw audio for manual post-production editing
Mac, iPad and PC Compatible
Nessie is plug-and-play compatible via USB with both PC and Mac, no drivers required.

question

Will this work with an ipad mini? Can you get started with just an app or do I need other hardware or software?
Asked by: Anonymous
The Nessie from Blue is able to connect to an iPad, but will require an adapter such as the Lightning to USB adapter. <a href= http://bhpho.to/1BlVkH2 target= _blank >http://bhpho.to/1BlVkH2</a> In this case you will also need a powered USB hub, due to the fact the iPad alone is not able to provide enough power for the mic.
