Blue Yeti settings for audition

Absolutely your best bet here would be to start again and not use the podcast template. We don't recommend that anybody uses it, as it's been set up specifically for one person's idea of what is necessary, and it's by no means applicable to anything else. And it has confused many new users considerably. Better to use just a basic stereo track to record on with no effects or anything like that in the monitoring chain, and add what is necessary for your particular situation afterwards.

If you use a Yeti stereo mic, then it has two capsules in it, and when placing the results in a mono track, you have to decide which one you are going to use. If you are using it for both speakers, then it's best to record it in stereo anyway; whatever happens you will get no separation between the speakers. This isn't the ideal way to record for radio-style use - a single mic per speaker is the best way to go, as you can keep some distance between them, and invariably get a better vocal pick-up. If you are using the stereo mic for just one person, then it won't matter whether you use the right or the left output; the person you are recording will be closer to the mic anyway, so there will be very little difference between the two outputs.
