Multi mic problems

Question

Hey gang. Thanks in advance for any help.

So we have been trying to get a 3 mic set up, eventually however many we want, for a podcast. We are using Blue yeti's. They sound great but no matter what, which mic, which cable, etc, we cannot get the third track level at the same as the other/first two. So it seems obvious its not the mics'. I want to use Audition because it has more capability than we need but seemed easy enough to use on a basic level.

I cant figure out what to do to up that level and get the same sound. Has anyone experienced this? Is it in audition that I need to look? Or commputer/soundcard/hardware stuff?

It'll be a setting in the computer somewhere - Audition records faithfully what it is sent, and doesn't alter it in the slightest.

I have no idea how many Blue Yeti USB mics you can get to work together, but if you have three, then at least two of them are being re-sampled on the way in; that's the only way you can synchronise them together - and that's essential. Because of this, we don't recommend this method of recording podcasts (or anything else, for that matter), simply because the resampling is being done by Microsoft, and they're crap at it, and always have been. The worst of it is that it's invisible; you almost certainly didn't know that was happening, did you?
