Not kidding i just face palmed myself, I have been recording my voice with garbage band and capturing with Elgato. I never knew you could capture your voice through the elgato. Im an idiot! Thanks man for this video, its so hard to find tutorials like these that actually explain what to do in a sensible manner. You did a really good job at showing and describing everything. Thanks man.
You sir have helped me out so much, i have been trying to find the best capture settings for the past and your guidelines since episode has definitely been a game changer! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to make these wonder tutorial videos. Have great day.
F4CEpa1m x_0 I have turtle beach stealth 700s and my legato never picks up my voice but picks up my game chat. +party chat but not my voice I don’t have the usb but do you need it? And where do you plug in the usb in your pc?
There is a different way to use the wired mic: you buy an Elgato chat link audio splitter and plug it into your controller then plug your headphones into the female adapter
this is quality content bro! only one question: do you need to plug in your mic via USB? because my elgato software detects my mic of my laptop but it doesn't record
+F4CEpa1m x_0 nevermind bro, I figured it out ;) anyway still want to say you got an awesome voice for these types of videos and I think you deserve way more subs. good luck bro !
one of the hardest things for me is getting used to talking with headphones on, i finished a video the other day, but deleted it because i hated my voice, and that's not just the whole "everyone hates the sound of their own voice" thing, it genuinely sounded really awkward
@@F4CEpa1m yeah also, i didn't realize how quickly the commentary stopped, a bit of my outro was cut off because i hit the button pretty much after i stopped talking, i guess in future i'll give it a couple of seconds
Great video series dude! Just a quick one: is there anything I can do about audio commentary input lag? I'm using a Blue Yeti USB microphone but can't seem to figure out a way to kill off the delay between my input & what I hear back in my headphones while I'm recording. Am I missing something here? Thanks again!
I'm on a PS4 & have been using my studio Audio-Technica headphones. I'm also running a new MacBook Pro 15inch with more than enough processing power for the Elgato HD60 S. I've tried a bunch of different things, but can't find a way to deal with the 'slap-back' effect i'm getting with my commentary (in real time) ...& i'm not keen on muting the mic audio feeding into my cans either, I need to hear myself. So to recap: i've got my Elgato HD60 S setup correctly with my PS4 & my Mac. Sound & visuals work perfectly. I've then got a Blue Yeti USB mic connected to my Mac. It works perfectly as well. All setting are good & I receive signal from everything. The only issue I'm having is the .50sec delay between when I speak & when I hear that audio in my headphones. Driving me nuts man. Thanks for taking the time to think about this. Appreciate it.
+Michael Lowman All good man. Usually with gaming headsets they let you monitor your voice directly from the headset. What I mean by that is, when you talk in to your mic, the headset splits that sound in to 2 signals and sends one to the recording software or console, and it sends the other directly to your headphones without any delay. But the headphone you have aren't directly connected to your microphone. So the microphone first has to send your voice through the USB cable, through your Macs audio software, and then down the audio cable of your headphones and in to your ears. This introduces latency, and is impossible to avoid because sound can only physically travel at a certain speed. I'm not sure with Macs because I don't use them, but you may be able to set the latency so low on the mic that it's not noticeable. Search Google for 'Soundflower'. That software let's you split the mic signal in to 2 amd will send one copy of it to your headphones before going through the Elgato software. I'm not 100% sure if it will work though because as I said, I don't use Macs, but my friends who arr DJs use it. In all honesty, for all the hassle and time it takes to figure all that out, you'd likely just be better spending $100 or whatever and getting some Turtle Beach Stealth 400s,amf thr problem will be instantly solved, and they sound good too. I'm a music producer / studio engineer and I use those for gaming just fine :) Good luck man.
A Rode NT1A. It's cheap and I use a soundcard with it which isn't so cheap. Honestly though you'd get the same result from an Audio technica 2020 USB mic and a pop sheild :)
Finally some tutorials that make sense! Videos are dope. I'm also using a Surface Pro 4 so these tutorials have been helpful. ...my Tv doesn't have a headphone jack, just a digital audio and standard A/V cables. I'm using a Turtle Beach Elite Pro headset. I tried plugging in to the SurfacePro and it works for commentary on the Elgato software. I am going to connect my stream Mic into the Xbox so I may communicate with other players. Will that setup work? or am I missing something? SurfacePro only has one USB port so you know how limited options are. Anyways, I subscribed and will look forward to more informative videos.
+Jason Brentner hey mate, glad you got some good use out of the videos :) Yeah should work as you say plugging USB mic in to Xbox as it does PS4. Let me know how it goes. Also I use a USB 3.0 hub with the Surface for more ports and it works a treat
F4CEpa1m x_0 yeah, I realized that as I was laying everything out. Going to bite the bullet and purchase the docking attachment. I see myself needing an extra hub and more as I grow the channel. I'll keep watching and I'll share my first capture with you. Keep doing videos like this. Not many channels out there producing effective tutorials.
can you please elaborate more on what you said at 06:41- 07: 01 when you said if you have a wired headphones setup what does someone need to do? you honestly did cover the logic to it..like the outs and ins...but where does someone attach the headphones to the ps4? at the back? on the controller? where? Also, do we need certain cables or splitters so that the audio will be split goin to the laptop and to the monitor? if its okay with you, you can do a follow up video on this so that i can fully understand and you can help others as well..It would be nice if you could reply asap or do a follow up video so that I can fully grasp on it..Thanks! Cheers!
Hi mate, yeah I mention it throguh the series that wired headphones can either be plugged in to your monitor or a home stereo, you can't plug them in to your PS4. It's in the hardware setup vid, the first in thos series. I'm doing a new set of videos for this at the moment which is 60% done. Hoping to have up in a month
Appreciate the speedy reply... what im really trying to figure out is how to record in game audio plus commentary with the mic into one recording without using a headphones but just using the elgato and a blue yeti microphone. Is that possible?
You got a line app on your phone? I think it would be easier for me to talk to you rather than commenting about it without you having no clue on what my set up looks like
Nice video man. Very informative and easy to follow. I just have a question. If I buy the logitech adapter, can I plug in my wired headset to the adapter? I mean, the jack for the mic to the adapter and the jack for audio to the tv so I can hear the gameplay? Btw, you got a new sub whether or not you answer to my questions XD
Hi mate, yep for sure, that is exactly what that adapter is designed to do, and that's how I started out :) Also, the way you described by plugging the mic jack to the USB adapter, and the headphone jack to the TV is absolutely correct! That is exactly how I would set it up. Thanks for the sub man! Legend
F4CEpa1m x_0 Thank you so much bro. I'll try that as soon as I get the adapter. Keep up the awesome work! your videos are the best guide I've found and I've searched a lot
I Connected Everything Using my Blue Yeti But Noise is still ruining threw my TV Moniter that is connected with the elgato. Im probably going to have to buy a Head Set To Run All MY AUDIO THREW SO MY BLUE YETI WANT PICK UP MY TV SOUND THAT MEANS MY BLUE YETI WILL BE USED AS MY COMMENTARY MIC WHAT DO YOU THINK ? FACE PALM ?
+GS World You need a headset, or if your TV has a headphone port on it you can plug any wired headphones in to your TV. You should definitely not have sound coming out of your TV speakers if you are using a microphone because any microphone will always pic up the sound from the TV too.
Hey, Great Vid BTW. I have the turtle beaches stealth 420x which are wirelessly connected to my xbox one via a usb transmitter. Will they record my voice using the elgato?
I know you're not asking me in particular but I do have the same setup as that and it does not pick up audio as far as i know. I just use a separate Mic to record audio and adjust the volume as needed.
Thanks again for your concise steps by steps. I want to clarify to make sure I'm on point - this is a follow up from my previous question on your first video in the series where I couldn't get my voice to be recorded. So - with my wireless Turtle Beach 400's, they came with a USB connection that I assume powers the wireless radio/antenna - this usb stick plugs directly into my PS4 Pro. Attached to this USB stick is a small optical cable that goes around the side of my PS4 Pro and plugs into the Optical plug in the back of the PS4. My understanding is that if I instead plug the USB stick into my PC instead of the PS4, not only will the wireless antenna / radio be powered but it will then also transmit my voice so that the game capture HD software will then pick up the mic on my turtle beach headset when I turn live commentary on. Did I understand that correctly? Thanks again for your insight!
Yeah mate, so the USB transmitter (I’ll just call it USB stick) does 2 things. It transmits audio (game audio and your friends talking) to the headphones, and it also receives mic audio (your voice) from the mic on the headphones. So it’s 2 way (send/receive). Now, let’s focus on the game audio first. If you plug the USB stick in to the USB port on the PS4 (with no optical cable attached), game audio will be pulled from that USB port on the PS4, and sent to your headset. The problem here is, the PS4 can’t send audio to that USB port on the PS4 AND to the HDMI port (going to your capture card) at the same time. Here is where the Optical cable comes in. The PS4 CAN send audio (game and your friends talking) down the Optical Cable AND to the HDMI at the same time. So by plugging that Optical cable in to both the PS4, and the USB stick, the game audio (and your friends talking) is pulled from that Optical port and fed in to the USB stick directly (bypassing the PS4’s USB port) where it is transmitted to your headset. The mic audio is independent of this. Whatever you plug that USB stick in to is where your mic audio (your voice) will be sent to. Plug it in to your recording PC with the Elgato software and you can record it. Plug it back in to the PS4 and your friends will hear you talk. But you can’t do both. Hence the need for a second USB microphone. UNLESS you and all your friends are chatting on Skype/Teamspeak/Discord on the same PC you are recording on because that USB stick will be plugged in to your recording PC, and you and your friends are all chatting through that same PC. Does that make sense?
Oh, and the USB stick also provides power to the transmitter inside it, but not power to your headphones. The headphones have their own battery inside which you charge with a USB cable
Gotcha -- so if I want to do just my own commentary on single player campaign gameplay or my own commentary on a livestream by myself - I'll want to plug the USB stick into my PC so that Elgato recognizes the mic on my Turtle Beach headset. If I want to have friends in my party or opponents voices recorded as well as my own voice, I need to then have a secondary mic plugged in to my PS4. Am I on track?
+Cam 100% spot on. If you're doing both, it can be easier (depending on how far away your PS4 is from your PC) to just have the USB plugged in to PS4 with the optical cable going in to it, and then plug the second USB mic in to your PC. This way you still have a mic going to your PC to record your voice, a mic going to your PS4 so your friends can hear you, and the optical cable is still sending game and chat audio to your headset without interfering with the HDMI game audio going to your capture card.
Alrighty, I think I got it then. Thanks again for your help! Off hand - do you happen to know if Playstation NOW will work with HDCP turned off? Currently, the PS4 Pro won't record gameplay completed through PS NOW which is one of the reasons I was looking to use Elgato (Aside from better livestream options). With Elgato, I figured I could then capture older playstation games without having to break out my PS3 or PS2 and deal with buying older cords etc. But if HDCP has to be turned on for PS NOW to work, Elgato won't work :(
I using the wired headphone setup, but for some reason my monitor is playing any audio. It isn't muted and the audio is going through my elgato fine. I have 2 viewsonic hd gaming monitors. It was working days ago before this setup.
Hi Firstly thanks very much for taking the timeout to make these posts I've found them very useful but I am still confused about the audio set up. Having an issue with sound...I have a Razer Kraken Pro wired headset, Sony Vegas, PS4, Samsung Smart TV, El Gato HD 60, HP Envy i7 laptop and I have just bought the Blue Ice Snowball and a pop filter as I do want to record excellent quality. I would like to be able to game whilst chatting in party chat to my guildies (I play Neverwinter) but then add some commentary later via my Snowball. If I plug my headset in directly to my controller I think that is causing poor audio issues. Ideally I want the game sound recorded seperately to the voice chat so I can edit that chat or delete it in preference for recorded chat on the Snowball. I would also like to add music - do you have any links for decent copyright free locations? Hope that is not too confusing. I have some clips recorded but until resolving these issues don't want to put anything together fully. Cheers bluerawrer
Hey mate! I’m just wondering if the plantronics RIG500 gaming headset works with setup 4 you showed in this video? (I’ve got an elgato HD60 s by the way) If they don’t work with setup 4 could you recommend some other great gaming headphones that aren’t overpriced, I’m willing to pay a decent amount though.. I’m from Australia myself So pretty cool to see an Aussie on UA-cam that’s actually killing it! Great channel and great vids and you honestly do a world class job at explaining and making tutorials on things, MAD RESPECT MY MAN! 👊🤘 Cheers!
+Holdsworth Productions hi mate, thanks for the kind words :) The rig 500's can either be used as normal wired headphones or USB headphones. If you are a PC gamer then they are fine. If you are on PS4 or Xbox though you'd need to upgrade to something like the Turtle Beach Stealth 400's, 500's or 80's, as these are wireless headphones that have both the optical and USB connections required that I cover in the vids. I use the Stealth 400's and since I bought them gaming has sounded better and recording has been waaaay easier. Also Astro A40's and A50's are in the same bracket and work too. All will work fine with HD60s
F4CEpa1m x_0 hey mate, cheers for the quick reply, what about the seinnheiser game zero ones? Or would I have to buy the amp with them to make it work? I mainly just want a pair that works great with Xbox one and has a great and clear sounding mic so I can use it for livestreams on my Mac also, And when you have to add another mic juts so your friends can hear you can that just be a cheap earphone mic? Lol If it’s possible I’d love to message you on Twitter or somewhere to chat more Instead of just using this to comment back and fourth, But that’s only if you have time and you want to, cheers! Also I haven’t actually brought that elgato HD60s yet but I’m leaning towards it over the black magic intensity shuttle.. was just wondering if elgato can handle livestreams from both my Xbox one and also my iPhone/MacBook Pro.. ?
Does your voice travel the reverse direction from the TV to the laptop?? You have your arrows going in one direction, so how does the laptop get your voice overlay??
Your voice goes from your microphone in to your laptop. It will also come out of your laptop speakers if you have your speakers turned up but you don't want to do that otherwise you'll cause a feedback loop (your mic will pick up your voice from you amd from the laptop speakers at the same time = not good), so you want your speakers turned down for that reason. And so your voice should only travel from your mic in to your laptop
Hey dude is using a a40’s headset mic that is plugged into my astros mixamp good enough mate, the headset as you probably know is really good and expensive in itself
@@F4CEpa1m ok and so where do you plug them in? Also, should you mute your computer to make sure your mic doesn't pick up the audio from it? Will your elgato still record the game audio?
Does the optical inputs come wires come with the headphones or should i buy thm seperately ? Which headset exactly that can come with all wires needed to complete the tasks if i don't want to keep buying things and shipping them every day lol - P.S: I will be using Xbox one S
Hi. I have a question. The series is excellent, but what if I want to add a video recorder / camera into the mix to record, such as a Canon. How would this work? any ideas?
+Spikey Lemon That camera would have to be able to be used as a webcam. A lot of DSLR cameras can't do that, some can though. Alternatively, record the camera footage separately and line it up in editing (a pain in the ass but it works)
oh okay. So, just a follow up. ow do the gamers out there put pic-in-pic whilst they are broadcasting or live streaming. If you know, would be grateful for the help. Thanks again; appreciate the reply too
im using the first setup with a blue snow ball but it keeps picking up my ps4 fan sound and ruins my audio, is it worth it to get the at2020 or a blue snowball that way hopefully they would only pick up my voice....can anyone help me!!!!
+NourCentia Hi mate, buying another condenser microphone (the snowball and AT2020's are both condenser microphones) won't help as these type of microphones are very sensitive and pick up a lot of background noise, which is actually what makes your voice sound good through them. Your best bet is to try and isolate the fan noise. You can do this by not having the PS4 so close to your mic. By putting something in between the PS4 and the mic like putting your PS4 under a desk with your mic on top of the desk. Or you can clean the fan on your PS4 to help reduce fan noise. Essentially your mic just needs to be further away, or not in a direct line of sight from your PS4
Thanks for the Reply!!! and hmmm i guess il just have to look at other youtubers set ups and move my ps4 away from the mic because right now i have my snowball on a microphone stand at the side of my computer so probably just have to get longer wires and have my ps4 somewhere else.
just a quick follow up! i moved my ps4 further away from my mic stand, i also cleaned out the ps4's fans and honestly i cant hear the sound of the ps4 anymore on my recordering so thank you so much!!! you saved me so much money since i didnt have to get another mic
That's awesome man, happy it sorted that all out of for you! And thanks for coming back and letting everyone know, it's great for other people who have a similar issue to see
I want to use the wireless headphones/mic combo but don't have an optical cable and am not sure exactly what you mean in the video as you say you can't just put it right into the ps4, where would I get a optical cable and stereo to put the mic usb in? And what headphones do you recommend?
Im using the condenser mic and audio interface setup, and I am only getting commentary out one ear. I followed your instructions by changing everything to one channel, but it still only pics up the left side.
Because with the Xbox feature that you can do in the settings which lets you record party chat because it comes through speakers and headset I just want to know when I'm not recording party chat to just record my voice for like letsplays with my turtle beach wired
F4CEpa1m x_0 I use a USB hub but it’s 3.0 so I run a 2.0 hub out of that and still doesn’t work plz help and if it does work it has a muffly sound to it like a robot
So I couldn't just hook my headphones (with built in mic) to my xbox controller? or do I have to get the usb adaptor for my headphones (they are 3.5 mm)
What if you were to use a wired headset like the Yanni Sades SA920? It works for all consoles pretty much, works for PC and Mac, and also works for mobile devices? Would that work the same way the wireless headphones do, or any other mics in this video? If not, how do you think it would?
Thanks for the videos man, really informative. One question though.. If i am using setup 3, why do i need the Logitech USB To 3.5mm Adapter, Can't i just connect my Lav mic to my PC mic port? Why do i need the adapter?
Hey mate, check the pinned comment on this video. It has a link to the updated tutorial as this one is now outdated. Follow the new one and you'll be good to go
So I've been running into bit of an issue with the Live Commentary recording. When I go to look over my video before I start editing, sometimes my commentary just drops for about 5 or so seconds, literally cutting me off in mid-commentary, and just recently, I've also run into an issue where the commentary track made a weird noise before going back to normal. Honestly, the whole thing is driving me up a wall, and yes, while I can use Audacity, I'd prefer to try to do everything in the same program. If you have the time, I can upload a clip of the latest incident if it can help give you some insight to my issue. I know it has to do with the program and not my Yeti mic, because the dropping never happens in the Audacity recording when I decide to try recording two commentaries side-by-side. Any help would be great.
Hi mate, sorry for the late reply. Should definitely be able to do it all in the Elgato software. In the Windows taskbar, right-click on the speaker icon and click on 'Recording Devices'. Right click on your Yeti mic and click on 'Properties', then choose 'Advanced'. From the 'Default Format' drop-down menu, choose '2 channel, 16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality), click 'Apply', then 'OK'. Does that help the situation? I know the Elgato software records natively at a 48000 Hz sample rate. If your mic is set to a different sample rate it can cause conflicts.
Definitely not that.My mic is set up with those settings. I turned off a couple things in the Elgato software, but I haven't had a chance to do a long record session to test it out to see if those changes I made work.
Hey thanks for all the elgato videos they actually helped out alot. One problem that I am having is my head phones picks up my controller buttons being pushed and my voice sounds like its in the background. I'm using the turtle beach xo 4 stealth can you help me please?
Yeah, it sounds like the sound is being picked up by the mic on your controller, webcam, or something else that is close to your controller. With that headset it is unlikely the mic on the headset is actually picking up sound
I was hoping to just buy a usb headset and use it. Is that possible? I have seen videos of multiple people on headsets. Does legato support multiple headsets on the same computer.
Yo FacePalm whenever i connect my mic to my pc and start commentary when i talk and stop the recording and watch it I cant hear my voice in the video pls help
So I can record gameplay audio from my ps4 in game capture on my windows laptop. However, I cannot record commentary audio. When I press the commentary button in game capture, it won't light up and will not record either. When I open sound capture, it states that it has failed to initialize. I was getting audio thru the laptop mic, located up by the webcam, however it sounded like shit. I am tryin to hook a senheiser mic into the system, to record audio, but, I'm at a roadblock and have no clue what to do.
hey man any tips on removing the background noise from mashing the buttons on your ps4/xbox controller when you record using a USB condensed microphone like the blue yeti microphone or blue snowball? I still can hear it when i record my microphone and sometimes its a nuisance at times.. any tips?
You can use an audio gate which is a bit hit and miss. Or you could hold your controller under your desk or aim the mic up a little so it's not pointing so much at the controller. Aside from that there not a lot else you can do
Google 'audio gate'. Actually on second thought and audio gate wouldn't be that great. In that case you've just gotta try keep the controller away from the mic and not have the mic pointing directly at the controller
I need help with the input and output audio section. I have my Turtle Beach USB connected to my computer, so I am hearing audio from the PC. I have the toslink plugged into the USB which again, is connected to my desktop. I don't have any of these USB's plugged into my PS4. I only have the toslink cable plugged into the PS4 and the Headset USB. I've gone through my PS4settings and everything is the exact same as shown in this video, except my Input Device is set to None which is the only thing listed. Output device is on "TV or AV Amplifier" but the Input device is the only issue. I apologize if I kept repeating myself if I did, I'm just.....I'm slow :P
So I've had the turtle Beach 420x wirelessly headset for a while now and I love it. but to record my audio I needed to buy another mic the turtle Beach stream mic. the setup I have is geto but it works. is there anyway I can use my turtle Beach 420x to record audio and use hear my Xbox game sound. I hope this makes sense as i need a better setup from what I have. thanks
I just ran across an issue with your recommended setup. In the begining, I got the game audio on my laptop and I heard the audio through my astro a 50's. Now with the same settings, I am only getting the audio through the Tv or amplifier option but nothing through my headphones. Which makes gaming online with others pretty odd when I speak through my headset but all the audio is coming through my TV, even the chat audio.
F4CEpa1m thanks for the quick response. After sending my question, I discovered what my issue was. Yes, I am using a PS$, A50's and a windows laptop to record my game clips. After double checking my connections, I discovered my optical cord was not fully connected to the A50's mix amp.
Either will do the trick mate. The Snowball is great and the sound quality is nice. The Yeti has a few extra options like a gain knob, up to you whether you need that extra feature
Afterglow AG9?? They only come with a usb dongle. Would like to know how to get game audio and use headset to record voice. It does have a 3.5mm port on it though...
Can't use a USB headset for game capturing. I'll have an updated tutorial for this uploaded in the next 10 days. Check back then, it'll run you through every option you have and how to set them all up specifically for Xbox One to record gameplay and setup yo stream to Twitch
F4CEpa1m x_0 Awesome, I'll watch for it. Thanks a lot for your reply. Probably just get a blue snowball and go that route. Would probably sound better anyway. Thanks for the well done vids!!!
Hi mate! do you know of any extensions for a headset? im tring to buy like an extension or some sort because the headset 3.5mm jack that i used going to the tv or monitor is way too short..so do you have any idea where i can get an extension of some sort so that i can chill better wth my headphones on without having to get too close to the monitor or tv?
When I plug the el gato into a usb hub so I can use my usb mic it says communication issue detected and it doesn’t display the whats on the monitor on my laptop how can I fix that ?
This has got to be the best description I’ve ever heard on how to set up a gaming rig. Well done bro
i just wanted to say, i appreciate the concise intro and the way you laid out everything you were going to explain.
This is so detailed, very nice video man. You need more subs and views. Keep up the great work.
+DarwintheTurtle hey mate, I'm working on it :D Thanks for the kind words!
Not kidding i just face palmed myself, I have been recording my voice with garbage band and capturing with Elgato. I never knew you could capture your voice through the elgato. Im an idiot!

There is a different way to use the wired mic: you buy an Elgato chat link audio splitter and plug it into your controller then plug your headphones into the female adapter
dude u are a life saver. jst subscribed
I crushed my like button and now my phone's busted.
this is quality content bro! only one question: do you need to plug in your mic via USB? because my elgato software detects my mic of my laptop but it doesn't record
+TBag [Epic Battlefield 1 Content] Thanks man :) Do you have the mic plugged in via the audio jack on the laptop itself, or via USB?
+F4CEpa1m x_0 nevermind bro, I figured it out ;) anyway still want to say you got an awesome voice for these types of videos and I think you deserve way more subs. good luck bro !
TBag how did you figure it out I have the same problem
Mix I currently plug the mic in the audio port. when you click on 'commentary' you record your voice and you can choose which mic you want to use
how do you avoid recording the sound of controller your controller and pressing buttons? using a blue yeti
Thanks F4CEpa1m. Slowly getting things working on my end as well.

That's how we get better man :] Listen to the voiceovers on my oldest videos they are RUBBISH!

Hi mate, what console and headphones are you on?
I'm on a PS4 & have been using my studio Audio-Technica headphones. I'm also running a new MacBook Pro 15inch with more than enough processing power for the Elgato HD60 S. I've tried a bunch of different things, but can't find a way to deal with the 'slap-back' effect i'm getting with my commentary (in real time) ...& i'm not keen on muting the mic audio feeding into my cans either, I need to hear myself.
So to recap: i've got my Elgato HD60 S setup correctly with my PS4 & my Mac. Sound & visuals work perfectly. I've then got a Blue Yeti USB mic connected to my Mac. It works perfectly as well. All setting are good & I receive signal from everything. The only issue I'm having is the .50sec delay between when I speak & when I hear that audio in my headphones. Driving me nuts man. Thanks for taking the time to think about this. Appreciate it.
+Michael Lowman All good man. Usually with gaming headsets they let you monitor your voice directly from the headset. What I mean by that is, when you talk in to your mic, the headset splits that sound in to 2 signals and sends one to the recording software or console, and it sends the other directly to your headphones without any delay.
But the headphone you have aren't directly connected to your microphone. So the microphone first has to send your voice through the USB cable, through your Macs audio software, and then down the audio cable of your headphones and in to your ears. This introduces latency, and is impossible to avoid because sound can only physically travel at a certain speed.
I'm not sure with Macs because I don't use them, but you may be able to set the latency so low on the mic that it's not noticeable.
Search Google for 'Soundflower'. That software let's you split the mic signal in to 2 amd will send one copy of it to your headphones before going through the Elgato software. I'm not 100% sure if it will work though because as I said, I don't use Macs, but my friends who arr DJs use it.
In all honesty, for all the hassle and time it takes to figure all that out, you'd likely just be better spending $100 or whatever and getting some Turtle Beach Stealth 400s,amf thr problem will be instantly solved, and they sound good too. I'm a music producer / studio engineer and I use those for gaming just fine :)
Good luck man.
What mic are you using it sounds really good?!
A Rode NT1A. It's cheap and I use a soundcard with it which isn't so cheap. Honestly though you'd get the same result from an Audio technica 2020 USB mic and a pop sheild :)
Like'd favourited and subscribed finnally someone good at explaining these things cheers
Great stuff man!! Do you happen to have any videos on how to use stream command?
+Brad Honstein hi mate, I sure do. The second video in this series covers Stream Command: ua-cam.com/video/96lilq8paWw/v-deo.html
Thanks brotha, great stuff
How do you set up streamlabs obs with your set up! Your tutorials are the absolute best
Finally some tutorials that make sense! Videos are dope. I'm also using a Surface Pro 4 so these tutorials have been helpful.
...my Tv doesn't have a headphone jack, just a digital audio and standard A/V cables. I'm using a Turtle Beach Elite Pro headset. I tried plugging in to the SurfacePro and it works for commentary on the Elgato software.
I am going to connect my stream Mic into the Xbox so I may communicate with other players.
Will that setup work? or am I missing something? SurfacePro only has one USB port so you know how limited options are.
Anyways, I subscribed and will look forward to more informative videos.
+Jason Brentner hey mate, glad you got some good use out of the videos :) Yeah should work as you say plugging USB mic in to Xbox as it does PS4. Let me know how it goes. Also I use a USB 3.0 hub with the Surface for more ports and it works a treat
F4CEpa1m x_0 yeah, I realized that as I was laying everything out. Going to bite the bullet and purchase the docking attachment. I see myself needing an extra hub and more as I grow the channel. I'll keep watching and I'll share my first capture with you. Keep doing videos like this. Not many channels out there producing effective tutorials.
holy cow you helped me so much. #subbed
+Jordon Berger You're welcome Jordon. Thanks for subbing :)
can you please elaborate more on what you said at 06:41- 07: 01 when you said if you have a wired headphones setup what does someone need to do? you honestly did cover the logic to it..like the outs and ins...but where does someone attach the headphones to the ps4? at the back? on the controller? where? Also, do we need certain cables or splitters so that the audio will be split goin to the laptop and to the monitor? if its okay with you, you can do a follow up video on this so that i can fully understand and you can help others as well..It would be nice if you could reply asap or do a follow up video so that I can fully grasp on it..Thanks! Cheers!
Hi mate, yeah I mention it throguh the series that wired headphones can either be plugged in to your monitor or a home stereo, you can't plug them in to your PS4. It's in the hardware setup vid, the first in thos series.
I'm doing a new set of videos for this at the moment which is 60% done. Hoping to have up in a month
Appreciate the speedy reply... what im really trying to figure out is how to record in game audio plus commentary with the mic into one recording without using a headphones but just using the elgato and a blue yeti microphone. Is that possible?
You got a line app on your phone? I think it would be easier for me to talk to you rather than commenting about it without you having no clue on what my set up looks like
Nice video man. Very informative and easy to follow. I just have a question. If I buy the logitech adapter, can I plug in my wired headset to the adapter? I mean, the jack for the mic to the adapter and the jack for audio to the tv so I can hear the gameplay?
Btw, you got a new sub whether or not you answer to my questions XD
Hi mate, yep for sure, that is exactly what that adapter is designed to do, and that's how I started out :) Also, the way you described by plugging the mic jack to the USB adapter, and the headphone jack to the TV is absolutely correct! That is exactly how I would set it up. Thanks for the sub man! Legend
F4CEpa1m x_0 Thank you so much bro. I'll try that as soon as I get the adapter. Keep up the awesome work! your videos are the best guide I've found and I've searched a lot
Xavi _Strife All good man :) Happy to help out
I Connected Everything Using my Blue Yeti But Noise is still ruining threw my TV Moniter that is connected with the elgato. Im probably going to have to buy a Head Set To Run All MY AUDIO THREW SO MY BLUE YETI WANT PICK UP MY TV SOUND THAT MEANS MY BLUE YETI WILL BE USED AS MY COMMENTARY MIC WHAT DO YOU THINK ? FACE PALM ?
+GS World You need a headset, or if your TV has a headphone port on it you can plug any wired headphones in to your TV. You should definitely not have sound coming out of your TV speakers if you are using a microphone because any microphone will always pic up the sound from the TV too.
You Like Mixamp or Elgato Chat Link Your Personal Preferences ?
+GS World Me? The mixamp by a mile. The chat link cable doesn't get very good audio quality
10:24 what if my computer doesn't give me an option to open playback devices/settings? Please help!
For a headset do you need turtle beaches or astros only?
Any headset that meets the requirements in the videos (optical + USB connections)
Why not just plug in the lapel mic into the 3.5mm in your computer? Why is the usb adapter necessary? Better quality audio?
Hey, Great Vid BTW. I have the turtle beaches stealth 420x which are wirelessly connected to my xbox one via a usb transmitter. Will they record my voice using the elgato?
I know you're not asking me in particular but I do have the same setup as that and it does not pick up audio as far as i know. I just use a separate Mic to record audio and adjust the volume as needed.
Helped me out a lot
hello , which Game do You play at the beginning of these video`? very much thanks !!! Nice Greetz ... .
Thanks again for your concise steps by steps. I want to clarify to make sure I'm on point - this is a follow up from my previous question on your first video in the series where I couldn't get my voice to be recorded. So - with my wireless Turtle Beach 400's, they came with a USB connection that I assume powers the wireless radio/antenna - this usb stick plugs directly into my PS4 Pro. Attached to this USB stick is a small optical cable that goes around the side of my PS4 Pro and plugs into the Optical plug in the back of the PS4. My understanding is that if I instead plug the USB stick into my PC instead of the PS4, not only will the wireless antenna / radio be powered but it will then also transmit my voice so that the game capture HD software will then pick up the mic on my turtle beach headset when I turn live commentary on. Did I understand that correctly?
Thanks again for your insight!
Yeah mate, so the USB transmitter (I’ll just call it USB stick) does 2 things. It transmits audio (game audio and your friends talking) to the headphones, and it also receives mic audio (your voice) from the mic on the headphones. So it’s 2 way (send/receive).
Now, let’s focus on the game audio first. If you plug the USB stick in to the USB port on the PS4 (with no optical cable attached), game audio will be pulled from that USB port on the PS4, and sent to your headset. The problem here is, the PS4 can’t send audio to that USB port on the PS4 AND to the HDMI port (going to your capture card) at the same time. Here is where the Optical cable comes in.
The PS4 CAN send audio (game and your friends talking) down the Optical Cable AND to the HDMI at the same time. So by plugging that Optical cable in to both the PS4, and the USB stick, the game audio (and your friends talking) is pulled from that Optical port and fed in to the USB stick directly (bypassing the PS4’s USB port) where it is transmitted to your headset.
The mic audio is independent of this. Whatever you plug that USB stick in to is where your mic audio (your voice) will be sent to. Plug it in to your recording PC with the Elgato software and you can record it. Plug it back in to the PS4 and your friends will hear you talk. But you can’t do both. Hence the need for a second USB microphone.
UNLESS you and all your friends are chatting on Skype/Teamspeak/Discord on the same PC you are recording on because that USB stick will be plugged in to your recording PC, and you and your friends are all chatting through that same PC.
Does that make sense?
Oh, and the USB stick also provides power to the transmitter inside it, but not power to your headphones. The headphones have their own battery inside which you charge with a USB cable
Gotcha -- so if I want to do just my own commentary on single player campaign gameplay or my own commentary on a livestream by myself - I'll want to plug the USB stick into my PC so that Elgato recognizes the mic on my Turtle Beach headset. If I want to have friends in my party or opponents voices recorded as well as my own voice, I need to then have a secondary mic plugged in to my PS4. Am I on track?
+Cam 100% spot on.
If you're doing both, it can be easier (depending on how far away your PS4 is from your PC) to just have the USB plugged in to PS4 with the optical cable going in to it, and then plug the second USB mic in to your PC.
This way you still have a mic going to your PC to record your voice, a mic going to your PS4 so your friends can hear you, and the optical cable is still sending game and chat audio to your headset without interfering with the HDMI game audio going to your capture card.
Alrighty, I think I got it then. Thanks again for your help! Off hand - do you happen to know if Playstation NOW will work with HDCP turned off? Currently, the PS4 Pro won't record gameplay completed through PS NOW which is one of the reasons I was looking to use Elgato (Aside from better livestream options). With Elgato, I figured I could then capture older playstation games without having to break out my PS3 or PS2 and deal with buying older cords etc. But if HDCP has to be turned on for PS NOW to work, Elgato won't work :(
I using the wired headphone setup, but for some reason my monitor is playing any audio. It isn't muted and the audio is going through my elgato fine. I have 2 viewsonic hd gaming monitors. It was working days ago before this setup.
Thank You!
This is so helpful
Hi Firstly thanks very much for taking the timeout to make these posts I've found them very useful but I am still confused about the audio set up. Having an issue with sound...I have a Razer Kraken Pro wired headset, Sony Vegas, PS4, Samsung Smart TV, El Gato HD 60, HP Envy i7 laptop and I have just bought the Blue Ice Snowball and a pop filter as I do want to record excellent quality. I would like to be able to game whilst chatting in party chat to my guildies (I play Neverwinter) but then add some commentary later via my Snowball. If I plug my headset in directly to my controller I think that is causing poor audio issues. Ideally I want the game sound recorded seperately to the voice chat so I can edit that chat or delete it in preference for recorded chat on the Snowball. I would also like to add music - do you have any links for decent copyright free locations? Hope that is not too confusing. I have some clips recorded but until resolving these issues don't want to put anything together fully.
Cheers
bluerawrer
Do you have the same well known problems with usb mic with windows 10 ?
For the 3rd setup, do you need the adapter or can you plug the mic in by itself?
Also, do you know what the settings would be for xbox as I dont have a PS4. Thanks again!
Hey mate! I’m just wondering if the plantronics RIG500 gaming headset works with setup 4 you showed in this video? (I’ve got an elgato HD60 s by the way)
If they don’t work with setup 4 could you recommend some other great gaming headphones that aren’t overpriced, I’m willing to pay a decent amount though..
I’m from Australia myself So pretty cool to see an Aussie on UA-cam that’s actually killing it! Great channel and great vids and you honestly do a world class job at explaining and making tutorials on things, MAD RESPECT MY MAN! 👊🤘
Cheers!
+Holdsworth Productions hi mate, thanks for the kind words :) The rig 500's can either be used as normal wired headphones or USB headphones. If you are a PC gamer then they are fine. If you are on PS4 or Xbox though you'd need to upgrade to something like the Turtle Beach Stealth 400's, 500's or 80's, as these are wireless headphones that have both the optical and USB connections required that I cover in the vids. I use the Stealth 400's and since I bought them gaming has sounded better and recording has been waaaay easier. Also Astro A40's and A50's are in the same bracket and work too. All will work fine with HD60s
F4CEpa1m x_0 hey mate, cheers for the quick reply,
what about the seinnheiser game zero ones? Or would I have to buy the amp with them to make it work?
I mainly just want a pair that works great with Xbox one and has a great and clear sounding mic so I can use it for livestreams on my Mac also,
And when you have to add another mic juts so your friends can hear you can that just be a cheap earphone mic? Lol
If it’s possible I’d love to message you on Twitter or somewhere to chat more
Instead of just using this to comment back and fourth,
But that’s only if you have time and you want to, cheers!
Also I haven’t actually brought that elgato HD60s yet but I’m leaning towards it over the black magic intensity shuttle.. was just wondering if elgato can handle livestreams from both my Xbox one and also my iPhone/MacBook Pro.. ?
Does your voice travel the reverse direction from the TV to the laptop?? You have your arrows going in one direction, so how does the laptop get your voice overlay??
Your voice goes from your microphone in to your laptop. It will also come out of your laptop speakers if you have your speakers turned up but you don't want to do that otherwise you'll cause a feedback loop (your mic will pick up your voice from you amd from the laptop speakers at the same time = not good), so you want your speakers turned down for that reason. And so your voice should only travel from your mic in to your laptop
Hey dude is using a a40’s headset mic that is plugged into my astros mixamp good enough mate, the headset as you probably know is really good and expensive in itself
+333333333333333 33333333333333 yeah that mic is all good. A USB mic is better but the headset mic is fine for starting out
rather than headsets, can you use just normal wired headphones? kinda like dashie?
Yeah man
@@F4CEpa1m ok and so where do you plug them in? Also, should you mute your computer to make sure your mic doesn't pick up the audio from it? Will your elgato still record the game audio?
thanks you SO much!
All good :) You're welcome
My snowball doesn’t work and I’m running a USB hub 3.0 and I get a muffledsound like I’m a robot I need help
Does the optical inputs come wires come with the headphones or should i buy thm seperately ?
Which headset exactly that can come with all wires needed to complete the tasks if i don't want to keep buying things and shipping them every day lol - P.S: I will be using Xbox one S
Hi. I have a question. The series is excellent, but what if I want to add a video recorder / camera into the mix to record, such as a Canon. How would this work? any ideas?
+Spikey Lemon That camera would have to be able to be used as a webcam. A lot of DSLR cameras can't do that, some can though.
Alternatively, record the camera footage separately and line it up in editing (a pain in the ass but it works)
oh okay. So, just a follow up. ow do the gamers out there put pic-in-pic whilst they are broadcasting or live streaming. If you know, would be grateful for the help. Thanks again; appreciate the reply too
Will my wireless studio 3 beats work? And if not can I buy a mix amp for it to work?
im using the first setup with a blue snow ball but it keeps picking up my ps4 fan sound and ruins my audio, is it worth it to get the at2020 or a blue snowball that way hopefully they would only pick up my voice....can anyone help me!!!!
+NourCentia Hi mate, buying another condenser microphone (the snowball and AT2020's are both condenser microphones) won't help as these type of microphones are very sensitive and pick up a lot of background noise, which is actually what makes your voice sound good through them.
Your best bet is to try and isolate the fan noise. You can do this by not having the PS4 so close to your mic. By putting something in between the PS4 and the mic like putting your PS4 under a desk with your mic on top of the desk. Or you can clean the fan on your PS4 to help reduce fan noise.
Essentially your mic just needs to be further away, or not in a direct line of sight from your PS4
Thanks for the Reply!!! and hmmm i guess il just have to look at other youtubers set ups and move my ps4 away from the mic because right now i have my snowball on a microphone stand at the side of my computer so probably just have to get longer wires and have my ps4 somewhere else.
just a quick follow up! i moved my ps4 further away from my mic stand, i also cleaned out the ps4's fans and honestly i cant hear the sound of the ps4 anymore on my recordering so thank you so much!!! you saved me so much money since i didnt have to get another mic
That's awesome man, happy it sorted that all out of for you! And thanks for coming back and letting everyone know, it's great for other people who have a similar issue to see
NourCentia I need help it says no divides
Does he mean connect the turtle beach transmitter to the PC then connect the optical cable to the ps4?
I want to use the wireless headphones/mic combo but don't have an optical cable and am not sure exactly what you mean in the video as you say you can't just put it right into the ps4, where would I get a optical cable and stereo to put the mic usb in? And what headphones do you recommend?
I use the mac and I use the Blue Snowball when I record!! But when I use my headphones (beats) I can't hear my voice!
Please help me
Would all these videos be the same if you are using an ElGato HD60s Pro
+Ozzy Duarte yep same deal except the pro is installed inside your PC so you won't need the HD60 > PC usb cable
Im using the condenser mic and audio interface setup, and I am only getting commentary out one ear. I followed your instructions by changing everything to one channel, but it still only pics up the left side.
Because with the Xbox feature that you can do in the settings which lets you record party chat because it comes through speakers and headset I just want to know when I'm not recording party chat to just record my voice for like letsplays with my turtle beach wired
The surface pro 4 has only 1 USB port how do I do it with one ?????
+thegammingferret with a USB hub man
Oh Yeh haha I fell so stuped
+thegammingferret :D sall good mate, we all have our moments
F4CEpa1m x_0 I use a USB hub but it’s 3.0 so I run a 2.0 hub out of that and still doesn’t work plz help and if it does work it has a muffly sound to it like a robot
I'm having the same issue where my mic audio is coming out of one speaker. How do I access those properties on my Mac though?
+News To Astonish sorry mate I don't use Macs so I couldn't tell you. Hopefully someone else here knows and can help you out
does the corsair void wireless have the opt?
Can you do all of this with the elgato HD60S?
Yep. This tutorial has been updated though. Check the pinned.comment for all the links you need
So I couldn't just hook my headphones (with built in mic) to my xbox controller? or do I have to get the usb adaptor for my headphones (they are 3.5 mm)
www.amazon.com/dp/B01N1PPRWF?psc=1 This is what I have, Im really just wondering if I could just use the usb or just the 3.5
What if you were to use a wired headset like the Yanni Sades SA920? It works for all consoles pretty much, works for PC and Mac, and also works for mobile devices? Would that work the same way the wireless headphones do, or any other mics in this video? If not, how do you think it would?
+Jadog. TDN Hi, the SA920's will work the same as the wired headphone setup I described in the video
F4CEpa1m x_0 ok, thanks.
are the turtlebeach stealth 700 compatible with elgato?
Thanks for the videos man, really informative. One question though.. If i am using setup 3, why do i need the Logitech USB To 3.5mm Adapter, Can't i just connect my Lav mic to my PC mic port? Why do i need the adapter?
+Hassan Al-Alawi Yeah mate you can absolutely do that :)
Elgato team chat each time I attempt to record with it there is no sound coming from the game or I get static
Hey mate, check the pinned comment on this video. It has a link to the updated tutorial as this one is now outdated. Follow the new one and you'll be good to go
So I've been running into bit of an issue with the Live Commentary recording. When I go to look over my video before I start editing, sometimes my commentary just drops for about 5 or so seconds, literally cutting me off in mid-commentary, and just recently, I've also run into an issue where the commentary track made a weird noise before going back to normal. Honestly, the whole thing is driving me up a wall, and yes, while I can use Audacity, I'd prefer to try to do everything in the same program. If you have the time, I can upload a clip of the latest incident if it can help give you some insight to my issue. I know it has to do with the program and not my Yeti mic, because the dropping never happens in the Audacity recording when I decide to try recording two commentaries side-by-side. Any help would be great.
Hi mate, sorry for the late reply. Should definitely be able to do it all in the Elgato software.
In the Windows taskbar, right-click on the speaker icon and click on 'Recording Devices'. Right click on your Yeti mic and click on 'Properties', then choose 'Advanced'. From the 'Default Format' drop-down menu, choose '2 channel, 16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality), click 'Apply', then 'OK'.
Does that help the situation? I know the Elgato software records natively at a 48000 Hz sample rate. If your mic is set to a different sample rate it can cause conflicts.
Definitely not that.My mic is set up with those settings. I turned off a couple things in the Elgato software, but I haven't had a chance to do a long record session to test it out to see if those changes I made work.
Can I use TurtleBeach Stealth 700 bluetooth capable and connect to PC via bluetooth?
I would recommend the Blue Yetti blackout
Hey thanks for all the elgato videos they actually helped out alot. One problem that I am having is my head phones picks up my controller buttons being pushed and my voice sounds like its in the background. I'm using the turtle beach xo 4 stealth can you help me please?
Yeah, it sounds like the sound is being picked up by the mic on your controller, webcam, or something else that is close to your controller. With that headset it is unlikely the mic on the headset is actually picking up sound
F4CEpa1m x_0 thanks alot idk what was going on but it actually just start working right a few days ago
+mtillman17 haha cool, that's good to hear :)
I have the rig 500 and using my surface pro 3 and can’t seem to get it. I’m look at video again to see if I missed anything.
I got it to play I have to connect headphones to the surface pro
Hey so I'm just beginning and I have the newest turtle beach headset (420x) and I was wondering how do I hook it up. Thanks!
Can I use the regular headset that connects to my xbox one controller for my own audio recording? let me know
+Youngjayyy2 nah, you'll need one of the setups in the video for that
I was hoping to just buy a usb headset and use it. Is that possible? I have seen videos of multiple people on headsets. Does legato support multiple headsets on the same computer.
Do we have to use a laptop the a another moniter?
Yo FacePalm whenever i connect my mic to my pc and start commentary when i talk and stop the recording and watch it I cant hear my voice in the video pls help
So I can record gameplay audio from my ps4 in game capture on my windows laptop. However, I cannot record commentary audio. When I press the commentary button in game capture, it won't light up and will not record either. When I open sound capture, it states that it has failed to initialize. I was getting audio thru the laptop mic, located up by the webcam, however it sounded like shit. I am tryin to hook a senheiser mic into the system, to record audio, but, I'm at a roadblock and have no clue what to do.
Steel series Arctis 7? To record all audio?
Setup 4 does the astro a50 3d gen work
I would definitely think so man. It has the correct connections for it
I'm confused as to where I connect my USB transmitter for my stealth 420 for my Xbox ? Do I connect to Xbox or laptop and what do I do after that ?
Everything turned out good but I keep getting the Echo Sound
hey man any tips on removing the background noise from mashing the buttons on your ps4/xbox controller when you record using a USB condensed microphone like the blue yeti microphone or blue snowball? I still can hear it when i record my microphone and sometimes its a nuisance at times.. any tips?
You can use an audio gate which is a bit hit and miss. Or you could hold your controller under your desk or aim the mic up a little so it's not pointing so much at the controller. Aside from that there not a lot else you can do
what exactly do you mean by audio gate? i dont quite understand
Google 'audio gate'. Actually on second thought and audio gate wouldn't be that great. In that case you've just gotta try keep the controller away from the mic and not have the mic pointing directly at the controller
I need help with the input and output audio section. I have my Turtle Beach USB connected to my computer, so I am hearing audio from the PC. I have the toslink plugged into the USB which again, is connected to my desktop. I don't have any of these USB's plugged into my PS4. I only have the toslink cable plugged into the PS4 and the Headset USB. I've gone through my PS4settings and everything is the exact same as shown in this video, except my Input Device is set to None which is the only thing listed. Output device is on "TV or AV Amplifier" but the Input device is the only issue. I apologize if I kept repeating myself if I did, I'm just.....I'm slow :P
Will a Razor ManOWar wireless headset work for streaming voice? Xx
I have a question about mics. I have the turtle beach stealth 700. It has no transmitter
+Gerber Aleman what console you on?
So I've had the turtle Beach 420x wirelessly headset for a while now and I love it. but to record my audio I needed to buy another mic the turtle Beach stream mic. the setup I have is geto but it works. is there anyway I can use my turtle Beach 420x to record audio and use hear my Xbox game sound. I hope this makes sense as i need a better setup from what I have. thanks
I just ran across an issue with your recommended setup. In the begining, I got the game audio on my laptop and I heard the audio through my astro a 50's. Now with the same settings, I am only getting the audio through the Tv or amplifier option but nothing through my headphones. Which makes gaming online with others pretty odd when I speak through my headset but all the audio is coming through my TV, even the chat audio.
+Shawn B hi mate, definitely sounds like some of the settings are wack. Are you using PS4, A50's, and a laptop to record game clips?
F4CEpa1m thanks for the quick response. After sending my question, I discovered what my issue was. Yes, I am using a PS$, A50's and a windows laptop to record my game clips. After double checking my connections, I discovered my optical cord was not fully connected to the A50's mix amp.
+Shawn B Perfect. Glad you got it sorted so easily man
Me too. Thanks for the help and advice. Your video series on setting up game capture recordings were very helpful.
Should I get Yeti or snowball ? I have budget for both but I don’t want to spend more if they are same . Can anyone help make choice
Either will do the trick mate. The Snowball is great and the sound quality is nice. The Yeti has a few extra options like a gain knob, up to you whether you need that extra feature
Afterglow AG9?? They only come with a usb dongle. Would like to know how to get game audio and use headset to record voice. It does have a 3.5mm port on it though...
Ps4 or Xbox?
F4CEpa1m x_0 Xbox One X
Can't use a USB headset for game capturing. I'll have an updated tutorial for this uploaded in the next 10 days. Check back then, it'll run you through every option you have and how to set them all up specifically for Xbox One to record gameplay and setup yo stream to Twitch
F4CEpa1m x_0 Awesome, I'll watch for it. Thanks a lot for your reply. Probably just get a blue snowball and go that route. Would probably sound better anyway. Thanks for the well done vids!!!
Can you just plug your Hong Kong 1$ mic into the the plugins on the laptop or do we need the USB adapter ?
I have wired Astro A40s. Do I just use the aux cord to plug them into my tv and it will record my sound that way or what?
+JauntyJay What console are you on and what are you using to chat? Playstation or Xbox chat? Or something like Discord
Could you use the neweer nw700 mic but it's a xlr to jack so could u buy a jack to usb adapter
+GAMINGMAC hi, yep it would would exactly as you described with a USB adapter
Hi mate! do you know of any extensions for a headset? im tring to buy like an extension or some sort because the headset 3.5mm jack that i used going to the tv or monitor is way too short..so do you have any idea where i can get an extension of some sort so that i can chill better wth my headphones on without having to get too close to the monitor or tv?
When I plug the el gato into a usb hub so I can use my usb mic it says communication issue detected and it doesn’t display the whats on the monitor on my laptop how can I fix that ?
