Understanding audio is crucial to becoming a content creator on Twitch, or UA-cam and it’s also one of the biggest barriers because people can’t tell when it is bad, or if they can they don’t know how to fix it.
Before I became an online Content Creator and Streamer, I was in the film industry for over six years, and audio was always something that stumped people despite it being really easy once you get the basics of it down.
Today I am going to help you get set up and sound like a pro on your stream.

To truly make your microphone sound amazing, you’re going to want to learn to use filters in your broadcast software. Now all three of these filters exist in slobs and obs, I’d recommend using them almost all the time, They are Noise Suppression, A limiter, and a Noise gate.

I've come to the conclusion that we're all overcomplicating our audio setups. We don't need expensive gear, intense filters, EQ, or anything else, we just need a decent microphone setup correctly. If you focus on the basics, you'll sound great, and when you sound great you'll be more confident in your videos or streams.

Hey man your discord link is expired.
I'm interested in the Throat Guzzler 5,000. Wheres that one at?
Dude I’ve bought so many mics over the years and now I look back at them and think what a waste of money that was but it’s a cool collection.
What a great video mate.Thank you..Its great to see another Aussie with great advice.Your next beers on me.
Tthis is the video I needed today... Thank you!
I bought the Q2U because of one of your videos and it’s amazing! Well worth the money and I don’t see myself changing mics any time soon
Been watching since the garage days! Another lovely video
I've been using the ATR 2100x for years now. Best budget mic i've ever used and does what it needs. never have an issue from any of my chatters. highly recommended
I have the AT2020 and I love that thing. Just added a noise suppressor filter in OBS and I was good to go!
Difference was night and day for me swapping from my at2020 condenser to a fifine dynamic microphone since my area kinda sucks for audio. I'll still use the condenser one someday, but kinda regret not just going with the cheaper fifine from the start...especially since I wouldn't have had to buy an interface to go with it since that one is both usb and xlr.
I've been using the AT-2035 for about 4 years now, and it's done fairly well. I can probably tweak the output a bit, but for the most part, it's served me well, both on stream and when doing voice acting.
4 years ago I was told to buy the blue yeti that was a mistake especially during covid and I didnt understand the difference between dynamic and condensers thank God I found actual audio channels and not sponsored youtubers soon after
Bluebird SL definitely my favorite mic 👍
what about the fact that some people reccomend a mic, but it needs an expensive preamp to sound good and usually you dont realise that until after you bought the expensive mic, so now you got an expensive mic, but cant afford the expensive preamp and now the mic has white noise all the time
Ya know what’s wild, how often this happens with the Shure Sm7b
And how people buy it without understanding it is an XLR mic
@StreamScheme i got a preamp, its a volt 1 and it has so much white noise i wanna cry, my sm7db has so much noise 😢
You poor soul…
I use mine with the Roland Bridgecast, and that supplies enough but I still use a cloudlifter to help lol
If you have a really good audio interface you will not need a preamp. There also cheaper audio preamps nowadays I bought one from amazon to use with my Rode Podmic when I needed to get surgery and couldnt strain myself to record audio. It sucks they left out that info as that is very important information to have when buying mics
@theoutsiderjess4869 i think my volt 1 is an audio interface that also has preamp functionality i think, but it still has a ton of white noise :( cant get audio into the yellow on true peak in obs
I’m using the Shure SM7B with the Roland Bridge Cast X and now use Prism Live Studio as my streaming software and everything is working perfectly what do you think of Prism Live Studio
Hey Eljay thank you for this awesome video! Can I ask what about microphone picking up audio from speakers causing echoes? I know I can use headphones to eliminate this problem, but I was just wondering if there's any filters/settings to play with if I don't want to use headphones?
You need a really good dynamic mic, speakers far away from it, and a crap load of time balancing it all
Essentially, the speakers need to play sound but the mic needs to be set up carefully to not catch it.
So balance speaker volume and mic setup.
Or wear headphones.
Nvidia Broadcast's noise removal does wonders for hiding background noise, like my furnace kicking in all winter or me shivering if the furnace was off.
Hey jay, I've always been interested in the method of recording yourself everyday for 10 minutes and checking it the next day then repeat.
so I wanted to ask you to show us that video if it possible or like how would you reevaluate yourself and improve etc...
Watch my video on 7 skills in 7 days.
That covers it.
Trying to find a setup that works for a couple streaming or at least one of us streaming and the other participating from another computer setup. Having trouble getting a setup that works. She has a elgato wave dx and right now i'm just using a headset mic but my voice keeps coming in over her mic. we sit facing the same direction but are about 5 feet apart. We can never find a good tutorial for this type of situation but find lots of people asking about this.
Opinions on the new Wave Neo mic? or just spend a little more to get the Rode Pod Mic or Wave DX? (But with those mics, I'm gonna need an audio interface like the Wave XLR) What do you guys think?
I’d buy the Samson Q2u over both options.
have you stopped uploading on your gaming channel? Love your content!
Hi i am using headset and my microphone is pretty bad i tired audio banana and i tried using OBS but nothing work i still have buzzing sound when i speak should i buy mic separately or should i get a another headset
I have that exact microphone with an XLR box. I'm having a very weird issue that I need to talk to somebody specifically about
Yeah blue yeti great budget mic I think personally
Is the Elgato LP Mic Arm any good??
Nah, sucks
Watch my video on overhyped streamer gear from a week or so ago
I need that mic arm
edit: I have a low profile arm, but it's not nearly as sweet as that one
maybe the 1st time I'm this early, good stuff
Why not sm58?
I’ve not used it :) I can only recommend the 3 in this video because I’ve used them.
throat guzzler >_> aye yo
My issue is I speak really softly and my walls are paper thin, so my voice sounds fine then you hear a car zoom by like its in your house
Will I always smile when you say dollareedoos? Yes
I bought the Throat Guzzler 5000. It just screamed "buy me".
4:23 I wish I could
Cool but what if I am on a PS4 or 5
Somebody please help me.... I am having a really hard time with my microphone picking up my breathing. And I breathe sort of hard but not that hard. And my microphone just picks up every breath I take so it sounds like a breathing. Simulator when I make a video. Help
The noise gate filter should take this out, unless you're breathing as loudly as you'd be talking. If you sniffle a lot, try to limit that while recording/streaming, or add a noise filter (RTX Voice is excellent at removing sniffles) ahead of your noise gate. I'm not an expert at any of this, but just things I've found that worked for my own streaming setup.
