It's actually insane I never knew about this until you showed it in your audio settings video. The fact that 100% isn't the normalized 0.0dB floors me. All this fucking time so many of us are boosting our volume in the worst way possible.

[@LeoWattenberg]

it's worse than that - 100% *is* normalized to 0dBFS on some devices, but not others. Sometimes the scale is has a dynamic range of 30dB, sometimes it's 96dB.

[@mandude7358]

This is legitimately one of the most informative and useful tips of all time. I had no idea the computer was screwing up my audio quality like this.

[@beastfighter1]

YES! I found this out a few years back. When I set it to 0dB, my Blue Yeti I was using at the time sounded WAY better and not constantly distorting/clipping even though I wasn't in OBS!

[@ibrahimabueraq759]

What! That's a new tip to me.
Thank you

My mic runs through a Rodecaster. For poops and giggles I went to microphone properties and it was at the max setting.

[@mycosys]

Thanks. I hate it. Why is the old control panel hidden by 6 layers of clicks the only place in windows that does a meaningful measure?

[@fsoarez9068]

OMG YOU SAFED MY LIFE I KNEW THAT WINDOWS WAS SCREWING MY AUDIO

[@apock88]

I did know, bucause when I tried to write write a program that set a given DB level when an application was opened, I discovered that at least programatically, you can't even set a percentage level, only a db value.

[@katbyte6lo]

Dude, thanks for this! I love your chan! Best reviews!

[@smalltowntourist]

Maybe a dumb question but, what's the best or preferred decibel level?

[@Heisenberger_69]

replying to get notified of an answer later

[@trickyman1323]

Realistically speaking it’s not possible to say the perfect level. It depends more on your mic and what it is/isnt able to pick up. I recommend testing it out by allowing yourself to hear what’s coming through the mic as you are speaking and adjusting accordingly

You can watch the full video.

[@cellyyoung5390]

Damn 😮 i just got this info today

[@toastbrot97]

Should be the default imo. Or at least display it along side the percentage, or AT LEAST make a little toggle checkbox so people actually know you can change it!

[@JagHiroshi]

Now I truly know that I live in the Matrix.

[@kamratdennis]
