Thank you so much for this video! I recently got this mic and have been struggling with a wooshing sound after I was speaking and had some settings off. Ive been posting on reddit and a bunch of discords and this is the first video that has fixed the issue! I'm so so thankful!
Love the video but I have one correction. Nvidia card or not, do NOT download the Nvidia card version of noise removal. It makes you download some stupid FX driver from Nvidia and it screwed the sound on my Pc up badly. I had to uninstall both the FX and Nvidia noise removal to get my PC back to normal. The regular noise removal works just fine and won’t ruin people’s day.
in OBS you'll usually be using the Wave link "stream mix" which is basically All your audio sources from Wavelink coming through together.. (if you only want the mic then it'll be "microphone FX" source But Yeah you need wave link running, you don't need it "open" but it needs to be running either minimised or in the background.
I noticed the wave 3 is not great for detecting when you're whispering. the noise gate doesn't help when activated as well as having to turn it off to get it to fully work.
Hey, great video, but I'm having issues with 2 steps within your video. 1st one being with the noise removal its does not give me the extra options to change the noise gate. Even though its turned on. The second issue is with the Elgato EQ it wont let me add the pre-sets, I don't actually have any icon or menu to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It seems as though Wavelink is always resetting itself. I will have the Elgato EQ or a noise reduction filter activated on the microphone and then the next time I boot up the computer and launch Wavelink they appear to be active but they are not. Then, I have to deactivate and reactivate them to get them to work. Am I doing something wrong or is that just something wrong with Wavelink?
IKR! I technically have an Nvidia card 👀 but its a non RTX one (I really need an upgrade) So its nice that its still an option for people like me or AMD users! Even if the quality isn't 100% the same.
@heavynomore yes! (Well remembered) For about another week anyway 👀 I'm just about to build/upgrade to a new PC to hopefully make it run cooler/quieter than my current one. This time I'm going with an Intel build, Although I haven't been able to afford a GPU upgrade yet 😅 So I'm going to have an Core ultra 9 In a Corsair 6500x case AiO (Titan 360RX) Bunch of extra fans But still be using my 1080Ti until I can afford a 4070 super or better😅 Maybe I can get someone to send me one 👀
@@ajsarsfield Very nice. Hopefully one of ASUS, MSI or GigaByte would reach out to you to do GPU review. Your content is super clean very informative. It would be a no brainer if you were given the chance.
Hi mate ! im looking for a mic whit usb entry. Did u recomend Elgato wave 3 in 2024? (and for a couple years) or is better go for another option more recent? Some choice i have in mind are the Sennheiser profile, the Hyperx Quad Cast 2 and of course, Elgato wave 3. Which could be the best? PD: Im not a streamer or something like that. Im just want a mic for gaming using discord mainly and other uses like videocalls in meet/webex
Oh 100% the wave 3 if you have the budget for it! Mostly because it comes with "Wave Link" software, so you'll be able to control all your audio & add filters to your mic even for discord or In game chat etc The other microphones don't really have that. elgato.sjv.io/Owl-Wave3 Right now it's actually on sale too! I think its about 30% off or £50 cheaper if you get it from the Elgato store. 🤔
question though if you use this and set it up on OBS do you still add like filter on OBS? i had like a limiter set up on the mic/aux which is running the wave link 3 software set on -3.00 dB so my voice wouldn't go to load but i kinda hate how i sound when streaming and some weird audio stuff happens to every now and then. or do i just use these settings in the wave link software and don't mess around with OBS filters. also do you have like a video on how to set up your channels in the wave link itself i'm curious to see how you do it. since these are the most up to date vids around i used like a really old one to get everything set up myself. cheers loved the video really nice information all round and like i said really recent as well
Nice video. Considering getting it, there's a deal atm for 199 to get mic, pop, shock and low profile arm on their site. One question, this video goes through some setup, but you also have ua-cam.com/video/xc0zY7hC8B4/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Nightow1 which has other settings in the software done around 6 months back. As this video is for this mic specifically I guess we go with this setup now? In that other video you mention not to use clipguard and use another filter.
appreciate your Elgato Wave 3 microphone setup. This is by far the most straight-forward and simplistic video I have watched
Appreciate the kind words!
I'm glad the video was helpful 🔥

Great video. Some helpful tips in there :) Also where did you get your desktop background from?
The Car one?
Its from Wallpaper engine
I think it's called
"Apocalyptic Cyberpunk Ambience"

These Settings can easily be Tansferred to Elgatos other microphones or interfaces too
Like the Wave Neo or Wave XLR
One video covers all sorts of thing.
Came from your tiktok. This is fantastic, the quality of this mic and features are incredible!
When in OBS what do we use as the mic input? Our actual mic or wavelink? Also do you need wavelink open at all times for it to work?
in OBS you'll usually be using the Wave link "stream mix" which is basically All your audio sources from Wavelink coming through together..
(if you only want the mic then it'll be "microphone FX" source
But Yeah you need wave link running, you don't need it "open" but it needs to be running either minimised or in the background.
@@ajsarsfield perfect thanks, going to play around with it
This is fantastic thank you!!
Hell yeah!!
I'm so glad it was useful for you 🔥
@ very! Just bought the mic and this was very helpful 🤘

Wow this video helped a lot, how did you customize your wave 3 like that 0:01
Oh! The black/orange one??
It's the limited edition Black ops 6 version!
They did a whole bundle of products a few months ago 🔥
elgato.sjv.io/owl-Bo6
@@ajsarsfield oh i see thanks.
Thank you so much for this!
No problem!
I'm just glad the info was helpful 🔥
not applicable to any other mics?
is it intended only to elgato mics?
Great video ❤
For whatever reason my noise removal on the Elgato Wave 3 does not have the advanced options to adjust the Threshold and Release. Any idea as to why?
same here.
I had to delete the plugin and re add, I found mine in C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\Elgato
@@demondevs Thank you, it worked :)
WOOT other mic video :D
Cant get enough of them 🤣
Great video
Thank you!!
Quick tip vid but hopefully it helps some people out 🔥

IKR!

My microphone with all these steps still picks up my keyboard clicks when I talk. They do not get recorded when not speaking.
My mic does is not displaying any sound now do you know why this might be because now nobody can hear me
Mic sounds a little "s"y. snake hissy?
