Now this is how you do a tutorial, thank you!!!
Thank you so much!!!
I'm glad it was useful 🔥
thank you!
I’ve needed this type of explanation! Very well presented! Thank you!
Thank you so much!!
I know a lot of these types of guides show you "what" to do
but not many explain why or how it actually affects your microphone
So I tried to add that info in where I could 🔥
Really helped me fix my audio. Found you on tiktok and went to see the full version. Thank you very much!
Hell yeah!!!
Nice to see my tiktok is actually helping people!!!
Thanks!!
Glad I found this video and now am going to go through all my audio setting today. Awesome video!
Glad it was helpful!!
I hope you manage to improve your audio 🔥🎉
This is by far the easiest setup guide for mics I have seen! Thank you so much for this! Leveled up my mic big time! ⭐⭐👌👌
Appreciate the kind words!!
I know how confusing this stuff csn be 🙃
so I tried to give good settings while also explaining HOW things work so people can tweak to their own taste 🔥
bRO this is so helpful and PROfessional. Thank you for explaining each filter & its factors. As well as explaining how to decide which values through easy methods.
THANK YOU!!
I noticed most other guides would explain WHAT settings to use but never would explain why to use them or what they do
So I figured I'd explain it a bit more, so you can tweak it for your own setup 🔥
Hello! Currently doing an overhaul of my stream and this was really helpful, thank you!
Thank you!
Audio is honestly so frustrating sometimes so I'm glad this was useful for setting up your mic 🔥
i have a 30 dollar mic and this helped me so much thank you!
Wow.... I've seen at least XX number of different tuts on "best mic settings for OBS" over the past few years, and FINALLY there's one where you explain everything why it's like that, why it needs to be at those values/levels, what they do and why it's useful to have them. It all made sense and understandable to so many of us mortals, and it's all so easily explained and straight-forward! No bs and crap. Big thanks for both the TDR Nova EQ + LoudMax plugin tips! Such underrated plugins, much like you and your channel is! Also, big PROPS for not using background music throughout your tut as well! Definitely liked and subbed! One of the most underrated vids and tuts I've come across on YT. Bloody well done, mister. Have a good one. :)
Thank you SO MUCH for the kind words..
1 of my issues with vids like this, has always been people explain "What to do" but never why they're doing it 🙃
And that means you don't learn how to tweak it to fit your voice & mic etc..
So I Try to sprinkle that info in, so you can use my settings as a guideline and then tweak it a bit if you arent happy with how it sounds on your voice...
Appreciate your message though, and Thanks for checking out the Vid/Channel 🔥
Best microphone video i have seen to date!! Very well explained, well edited and just overall very very helpful!! Thank you!!
Thank you for the kind words!!
I'm so glad everyone has been finding this video so useful 🔥
Thank u very much sir it was a lot of help🔥
Thank you, mate. Really helpful. Keep going 💪❤
Appreciate the kind words!
I'm glad the video was helpful 🔥
Wish I'd found this video while i was first setting up my OBS! 😂 Guess who's tweaking their settings today?! Thank you for such an useful video
At least you have it now 🤭
Hope it helps out 🥰🔥
good settings, thanks for that. but without an Expander i've got Background Noises like Keyboard typing etc. Got the ''t.bone SC 420'' and it's a bit sensitive.
appreciate the help! i used the exact settings.
So glad the vid was useful!! 🔥
@@ajsarsfield 💪
great video, he actually explains what everything does
Makes a change right?? 😅
I hated when I was first learning this stuff and everyone just said
"these are the settings you need"
But never explained why or what happens if you change them.
I expect people to tweak this eventually to fit their own voice, so figured adding that info in would help 🔥
My friend suggested you through your tiktoks and as someone who has such a hard time with audio THANK YOU for this video
Hell yeah!
Audio is honestly so confusing and difficult to wrap your head around sometimes..
So, I'm happy this at least helped a bit 🔥
@@ajsarsfield definitely, I didn't even know about any of this
This is a perfect reproduction of the steps we take for the sound checks on our TTRPG streams, thanks for putting this out man!
Next video should be Mixing multiple mics as Browser inputs from VDO where folks are all using different mics and putting it together in a mix for a stream :D
That sounds like an absolute nightmare to manage 😅
I imagine there are a lot of people that would be interested in that type of video though,
Especially with how popular online TTRPG or podcast content is at the moment
great video! Are you using the same VST settings on your main mic or do you have a different EQ setting for that?
My SM7B??
At this moment in time, I'm STILL using my GoXLR for that mic (I have a video on all my specific settings for that)
However I think I'm moving to a Wave XLR soon ( less space) so I'll have to do all the same stuff with VSTS..
No doubt, I'll end up making Videos about the best "Wavelink" settings and VSTs soon
Do you have any recommendations for the Blue Yeti mic ? I feel like I'm struggling to find the perfect sound.
Really good video, thanks. Trouble getting my Røde Procaster and Røde Streamer X (bad alpha product when it comes to video) to deliver top class sound. I'm a perfectionist, so it's holding me back from getting started with video production :)
Thank you!!
I used to actually have/use a Procaster as my main microphone too.
(I only got rid of it because its massive, especially with the shock mount)
Rode hardware is honestly great but they really need to work on improving the software side of things, both for audio & video
if they could do that they'd be a Perfect choice for most things..
@@ajsarsfield I was also quite surprised by the size of the Procaster :D Doesn't quite fit my Elgato Wave Mic Arm Low Profile :D Must admit I'm really disappointed with Røde at the moment, they're abdicating responsibility, making lots of excuses but no solutions. Think they have sent too many products to the market in far too short a time. Thanks for replying.
Thanks for this and yes RNNoise needs some serious work because that cuts out when laughing which makes it completely useless
very easy to understand , thank you . Also which one of those setting could be triggering robotic sound? like my voice keep cutting off sometime.
More than likely the Noise supression if you're getting Robo voice!
Either turn it off or try different options to see if that works better 🔥
@@ajsarsfield oh ok i will test out the other options then thank you!
I do filters kinda like this but same decent sound then I do a ffmpeg 32 bit float to get lossless audio to make sure I have complete control of the audio and clear sound 😎 in my previous video my mic messed up and I couldn’t fix it so I the 32 bit float helps a lot
Honestly setting it up as a 32 bit float is genius...
Really helps for those occasions when something goes wrong!
@@ajsarsfieldyes I am mad at my self for not setting that up sooner 🤦♂️😂 it saved me so much time and made my audio 10 times better I changed to xlr setup I use to use hyper quad cast x and I notice the 32 bit float sounds better on xlr side even with filters on obs 😅
But I should of mentioned that 32 bit float does not work on adobe premier pro it’s been reported they haven’t fixed it so I use Davinci resolve 18 cuz adobe won’t show the tracks for anything other then regular flac
How do you use this settings outside of obs like discord
i just bought the am8 fifine microphone, and i intend to make youtube videos with it do you recommend using the basic equalizer or download the more professional one
You'll get a better sound out of the more pro one...
But it might take a bit more tweaking to get it perfect for your voice!
Worth it in the long run though 🔥
Oooh, gonna take a few watches of this one, I feel like this will be INVALUABLE advice ^_^ only question I have is, how much different would this advice/settings be for a headset microphone? I'm running an Audio-Technica BPHS1 headset mic, which is fantastic quality but obviously struggles a bit to match traditional microphones, and I wasn't sure how certain settings would be different for a microphone like this? :)
Its pretty standard "microphone" advice
So I assume most of it would carry over quite well..
EQ would defo need tweaking though,
As well as figuring out a good mic position...
I know headset mics can often have a TON of plosives becsuse of how close to your mouth they are
I should really do a full "Headset Mic" deep dive video and figure out what would work best for that at some point 🤔
@@ajsarsfieldFabulous! I believe I've already used some of your settings/advice from a TikTok you made, and it's sounding pretty great already, so that would make sense! And yeah, I have to be very careful with mic positioning - it's a careful balance between just too far away, or just slightly too close and plosives being a big issue. If you want to do a full headset mic deep dive that would be amazing
if your pc fans are loud, use rnnoise because it will reduce it completely (when i use it, it does that)
I have a love hate relationship with RNnoise..
Great for removing background noise and fans etc..
BUT if I get loud or laugh etc it sometimes decided to cut that off 🙃
0:38 whats the name of this cool boom arm :o
edit: another question! i also have the wave 3. did you figure out how to filter out the keyboad typing noises while speaking? im using the wave link software :)
Oh!
The boom arm is the elgato Low profile arm!
elgato.sjv.io/Owl-WhiteLP
& Filtering out loud keyboard sounds is hard..🙃
Using audio supression can help a bit but the easiest way is get the mic as close to you as possible and turn the gain down so the background noise seems quieter than your voice...
That's why it's always better to have quieter switches for streaming 😅
@@ajsarsfield thankyou for the tip! :) yeaah well i got the romer g- switches, they are not particularly quiet lol . but might try to lube them at some point!
when the audio filter ask to select a plug-in there weren't any options
Should i get the wave 3 or podmic with fifine mixer I can't really decide
If that's your ONLY options.. I'd choose the Wave 3..
Podmic is a great mic BUT The Fifine mixer doesn't have that much audio control, no software & barely has enough power for the Podmic so might sound a bit "Hissy" or noisy at the correct volume..
The Wave 3 on the other hand might let in a little bit more background noise (easily fixed with filters)
But you get the Elgato "wavelink" software which is honestly amazing for controlling all your audio when live streaming or just generally using your PC etc
& it can be plugged into USB phones/Tablets to record audio too
I still don't have a mixer and my budget is around 60€ is there a good one i can get for that price , last thing would you prefer wave dx or podmic . If there isn't a good option for the mixer i should probably stick with wave 3 right @@ajsarsfield
There aren't TOO many good "Mixers" in the $60 range..
Good enough for fifine, tonor, maono entry level mics but you'll have to upgrade pretty quickly as soon as you want anything better than that..
So id still go for the Wave 3 mic for now... or even check out the new "Wave Neo" which might be a good cheaper option too if you are really on a budget..
Same microphone/audio quality as the Wave 3 it just lacks a physical gain dial on the front so you control it via software - elgato.sjv.io/Neowl
& if you do pick anything up from the elgato store, throw in my code ZZ-NIGHTOWL and you'll get 5% off
Alr one last question would the hyperx quadcast s be better than the wave 3 @@ajsarsfield
Can u use these setting in streamlabs bro
90% of them yes...
SLABS has all of the same audio filters built in
Except I think its missing the "3 band EQ" so you HAVE to install the VST to do that part
Other than that, works great though 🔥
no one is talking about how to delete keyboard sound while talking. when ever i talk while playing games, keyboard sound goes in. i want to turn that off
3 ways...
4 technically
1 microphone type- .
A dynamic mic will help avoid background sound like keyboards more than a condenser mic
2 microphone position -
Get it as close to your mouth as you comfortably can
Then turn the gain down, itll make BG sounds less noticable
and position the keyboard behind the microphone not below or infront of it
3 noise supression-
Using noise supression filters will help filter out any keyboard clicks left once you do the first 2 things..
However all of this advice can only do so much if you've got a loud mechanical keyboard so buying a quieter board will help alot
@ajsarsfield I've done that all and still happens. I even used Nvidia thing and still goes in. Getting close to mic does no help because if you talk and type keyboard at the same time, keyboard sound goes in
@abcd_mr what microphone are you using??
@@ajsarsfield I'm using AG08 and SM7B
that elgato mic sounds like shit on stock
