      Hi Gaming Careers! Thanks for all your videos helping the community (:
      I have a unique problem that seems to be common in the community. Basically, in OBS Studio, if Noise Supression is on, it mutes my controller clicks (which is great) but cancels out my higher pitched noises like laughs and screams. I can't seem to make it work the way I'd like with just a Noise Gate. I have a white snowball mic.
      Active filters include: Noise suppression, compressor, gain, limiter and noise gate and I have narrowed it down to just Noise Suppression being the issue.

    I probably use the profile switcher a lot. Since being a streamer and content creator, you might need certain things for recording that you would for streaming. By a click of a button, it will have the secondary profile pop up. Have the stuff you need to record and you could even have the third option for the editor you use without having to worry about pressing the wrong button.

    Just a heads up for any MMO players that stream, F13-F24 is actually accessible via Shift+F1 through Shift+F12 (for example, Shift+F5 is F17). So if you have those setup for anything in the game, lookout for that.

    I have a GoXLR and find that rather than switching audio devices between speakers and microphone I just use the line out on the GoXLR to my speakers and have a dedicated fader for both headphones and microphone. I usually have one muted and exclusively use GoXLR to control everything. I had the setup with StreamDeck previously with Audio Switcher but find this new approach much simpler and even quicker.

  • @ViciousXUSMC
    @ViciousXUSMC 2 роки тому

    For any features you wish you had that you don't you can expand the power of this device (or your keyboard, desktop, etc) 1000 fold just by integrating AHK or AutoIT Scripts.
    Some things can be improved, example the Window Position, rather than using a delay to wait for an application before moving the window, in AutoIT its as simple as ShellExecute() or Run() to open the application and then waiting with If ProcessExists() or WinWait() so it will be sub millisecond accurate without any raw delays, then you can add in error correction to close the process and re-open it should it hang, etc.
    I have used Automation like this for years, even when I was on the dev team for XSplit, and I just use keyboard hotkey combos or GUI's but I think I'll finally get one of these just for the pretty buttons lol.
    If you do not have the Twitch API ping yet, that can be something I look into making once I get mine.

    Along with normal stream control stuff, I use the Advanced Launcher plugin to run Packet Sender with the appropriate options to change Input/Output mappings on my HDMI Matrix Switch. Along with my monitors, one of the outputs is an Atomos Connect 4k that is connected to my Gaming/Streaming PC as the capture source for my streaming. This allows me to quickly and easily capture any source on the HDMI Matrix Switch (including of course the Gaming PC output used for games).

      3. Close Discord from the system tray
