Neewer NW-700, am going to be upgrading as it is just a cheap £30 mic, but it works for now :)

I was watching your video thinking you would have like a million subs, you can't imagine how surprised I was when I saw you are a small youtuber. Loved the video, great communication skills.

[@crafty4722]

Same

[@DaMooCow5000]

Clarification: The low cut filter does NOT cut out background noise. Noise gates and noise filters cut out background noise. A low cut filter cuts out the low end so your signal sounds less bass heavy. Useful for voices that are mid to high range.

[@dj439183]

thank you for clarification!

[@Lukepandacakes]

Great video! I added your filters and was blown away by how effective they are! The problem is my 30$ standard fifine microphone (with filter and boom arm) now sounds so much better i don't have a need to get anything better...

[@dj439183]

Saving money!! That’s awesome to hear! I’m glad the video helped you out!

[@its_LDJ]

This was really useful thanks!!! I've nabbed the noise suppression and compressor settings and they've made a big difference. I'm using the Razer Siren x and while it's a really big improvement on what I had before, the one thing I wish I had was a digital mixer to marshal all of the various inputs. Currently everything is being captured as "Desktop Audio" so I have to change audio levels in all of the individual programs which is a pain.

[@dj439183]

Im glad you liked the video! And im glad the filters helped you out, they make a huge difference in my opinion. The Razer siren x is a really good mic and i almost got that one actually lol and yeah, that was my issue, everything was running through desktop audio so to keep audio levels good for the viewers, i just had to deal with it being too loud for me. But wave link really helps out there and for me, is a total game changer!

[@Sgtbabyshambles]

Do you mind hopping in a discord call with me one day I use all razer stuff and I want one but am not sure how it sounds

[@lukemcevoy5371]

Dude, high quality video that was definitely helpful since I'm trying to decide what to buy. You deserve more subs for this quality

[@dj439183]

I appreciate the kind words and im happy you found the video helpful!

[@nacholibre_za4822]

Ok completely agree with you Luke, I’m literally deciding to buy the Wave 1 or blue yeti! So thank you so much!

I use the Blue Yeti Nano. I was doing some research when I first started my channel and I almost when with the Yeti. A lot of reviewers mentioned that the Blue Yeti is great for musicians, but the Nano is better for streaming and chatting. I haven't tried the Wave yet, but I'll have to give it a test run sometime!

[@dj439183]

The blue yeti nano is great!! Honestly, Blue's products are so good, even the snowball sounds amazing so you cant go wrong with any of them. The wave is great but honestly, its mainly the software that sold it for me!

[@Badpaw1]

Just bought the wave 1 thanks for the review

[@dj439183]

Im glad i could shed some insight! the wave 1 is amazing and would be my choice too!

you know what im going to give your vid a like, nice

[@lordxenagos7920]

Top tier review. Thank you.

[@souldja81]

You can use the yeti in WaveLink. Just add it as a channel. The thing is: you are forced to have the wave microphone plugged in. But there's no way to do it separately.

[@themightyatlas8594]

Great comparison video

[@dankdealer]

How do you only have 80 subs you deserve a lot of subs

thank you for the review

[@dj439183]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@FallenLight0]

There is a noise very subtle in the Blue Yeti that the Wave doesnt have here, and I can't explain it exactly, maybe not a noise, but something your mouth is doing, it's on the high frequencies it seems.

[@Mushoe]

In my expierence with the blue yeti i highly suggest any microphone over it because after a while at least for me it feels like the audio is not the same anymore and does not feel like what i bought before i recommend the wave 3 or wave 1 as i feel its better because of the software and i think it sounds better

[@molinaro_ink]

Can you make a video on how to set up Voicemod with Wave Link?

[@dj439183]

I wish I could, but it won’t fit into my scheduled video line up! But here’s the video that helped me get mine set up with voice mod! Just make sure that voice mod is set as your mic source in obs for this to work! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4bVc5t-q71rq6c

Hi there, great content, may I ask you between the elgato 1 and the yeti x, what would be better, it would be just for one person who is doing podcast, kinda... thanks for your help dude

[@HeyyItsNiko]

Your grandma in the kitchen cooking… that’s so wholesome :)))

[@caidenCFC]

Does the settings changed on the software stay when you're on a console? (for example, PS5)

[@dj439183]

Everything should be the same since the settings are saved within the software on your pc. Now, if you connect your microphone directly into your console then you can’t use the wave link software and you can’t add filters like I do in obs.

[@caidenCFC]

@@dj439183 thanks, im looking for a new microphone to do commentary on my videos and im stuck between the elgato wave 1 and the blue yeti x. I use sharefactory on ps5 to edit and I wanna add commentary but im tryna figure out whats better to buy.

[@dj439183]

@@caidenCFC I would then go with the blue yeti, the elgato is great but I feel like pretty much identical to the blue yeti, it just has the cool wave link software. Which ever one is cheaper at the time of purchase is the one I would go with!

Elgoto is the only mic that uses c type port

[@Yoshsterdatoon4570]

Thanks for this video. I like the El Gato mic best. But as you said it’s due to the software. I’m going with the Yeti because I only need it for Teams meeting and am using a laptop computer issued by my employer. Am not allowed to download any software. Thanks a bunch!

[@l3chevalier]

Hey! Thanks for the video, it was very helpful, for real. I've been looking for a mic for work (google meeting calls during the day), using Linux. But do programming and repairing electronics streaming at night (Using Linux and Windows). Blue Yeti seemed to be a better choice for me. Since a friend who uses Linux recommended Blue Yeti, your video also says its a very ice mic and last but not least the specs are kinda better in some ways... Blue Yeti covers a better frequency range, even Elgato having a better sample rate. Also Elgato seems to may present a problem working on Linux if its extremely dependent on software.

[@pjubo]

in my opinion the yeti sounds better, the elgato has a really sharp sound and the high tones of your voice just completely disappear. However the Yeti pciks up a broader array of tones and makes your voice sound much better.

[@adampawelszewczyk7822]

honestly, i prefer the elgato wave 1 by a long shot, the blue yeti sounds bloated and loud compared to the elgato wave 1

[@dj439183]

i like that take on it! i think overall, the elgato is better too!

[@bluestripetiger]

The Yeti sounded clearer

[@dj439183]

I agree! not by much but i noticed that too!

[@betanick14]

The Elgato sounds better without filters.

[@dj439183]
