For cooking videos, specifically, no. Yeti mic is best if you can sit very close to the microphone (or have two people sitting across from each other, for podcasting).

It's not good once you are 2-3 feet or more from the microphone because it picks up a lot of "room noise" and for cooking especially, that means sizzling grease + clanking pans + machinery noise.

For cooking shows, you want to be wearing a lavalier. You can find some decent cardioid USB lavalier wireless lavs that will fare you much better.

Used a yeti for years. I would get a cheap USB interface and a cheap dynamic mic like an XM8500 instead. Yeti picks up way too much background noise.

I know little to nothing about microphones. Would this be a good one to start with for content creation? e.g. cooking videos

I don't want to be wrong but could depend on the size of your kitchen and if you're walking away and closer with audio going up and down. Would you dub over or would you want maybe a microphone on you? Like a hidden wire mic?

I have a marpac white noise machine in the room where I'd use this. Anyone know if this mic would pick up the white noise?

I use a Yeti X and when I enable Nvidia Broadcast noise reduction in G Hub, it virtually eliminates background noises, including mechanical keyboard banging a foot from the mic. Loud banging!

Surprising to me that all these Yetis still use micro USB (which is the only thing I've ever heard that breaks on them). For just $15 more you can get an Audio-Technica mic that has USB-C and XLR and that's regular price

Not worth getting a microphone without usb-c these days. This one has micro-usb which is already obsolete. Better off with the Elgato Wave:1 for about the same price.

It depends on your environment. I have to turn off my pretty quiet fan that's five feet away.
