How to make the Quadcast sound better - HyperX Quadcast and Quadcast S sound settings and tweaks

[@Ricky_Dany]

Just got the hyper x quadcast s a few weeks ago, and background noise was pissing me off, this is honestly a life changer, thank you so much man.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Glad to help

[@TecnoguiaCol]

Dude, I was unaware about the "normalize" feature in all the softwares, I was blaming basically many mic brands because their sensetivity was too low and almost inaudible until, thanks to you today, I discovered and used that feature editing my videos and the result is a whole world of difference... thanks...

[@pavleson]

Heads up to anyone with a GTX card, Nvidia Broadcast will NOT work on your system + the original Quadcast does NOT have the support of Hyperx Ngenuity (only the S version supports it). Neither of these facts are mentioned.

[@pavleson]

@Mikey its not mentioned in the video

[@Leongon]

If it's not mentioned in the video, the thumbnail or the title... Then it's not mentioned anywhere, because that's the content. One does not check video descriptions for information that we don't know the video is missing. OP's comment is perfectly valid and useful for the audience.

[@yamiplays8685]

can use Nvidia RTX voice instead, name is misleading I know but RTX voice works broadcast does not.

[@SquishiiBlob]

For some reason NGenuity doesnt recognise that ive got my quadcast S plugged in, so i dont know how to connect it?

[@stickyl3163]

So is this why my quadcast died? I downloaded that ngenuity app and as soon as it completed my mic turned off and never worked again

What a quality in depth video! 90% of the videos on KZbin about this mic are all just people wanting the publicity of the brand and hype of the look to get views, and they don't offer much more.. will go and do all this and hopefully get rid of the background noise im getting (prolly my pc vibration and my fan noise.. which I never noticed until now how loud the fans are lol)

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Glad to help!

[@iscottjones]

Would be great if you could make a video on recording using this mic when moving around a lot. For example, when recording my gameplay I will move my head from side to side because I have a big monitor. This means that when I talk into the mic, my mouth is aimed at the centre, the left side, or the right side of the mic, with this position changing. Because I can't keep myself stiff (I've tried), the recorded audio varies in quality. Talking directly to the centre of the mic will sound perfect, but when in any other position, such as the left or right side of the mic, you can barely hear me. And when I say I move to the left or right, these are only slight adjustments, nothing too drastic.

[@blupo2961]

You might just want to change the setting of the microphone to Omni Directional or something. There's a setting on the microphone that registers all the different sides of the mic as the same type of noise and equally leveled. I'm not sure what it's called, but it's one of the notches on the microphone. Should be an easy fix.

[@Rain_Knows]

I use the figure 8 setting, not the two circles that intercept, it works well for me

[@Leongon]

Just use a normalizing filter(compressor filter in OBS). Those are meant for balancing the volume whether you're yelling or whispering, so it'll totally compensate for your problem of moving your face away from the mic.

[@jos-josradvanji6203]

Thank you very much! The Quadcast S is my first ever standing microphone so I am very thankful for the super detailed explanation. Sadly the nvidia tip won't work for me as it requires at minimum an rtx 2600 which I do not own but other than that it was very helpful.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Glad to help. If you run AMD you can now use noise cancelling sound options via their drivers.

Did ever figure it out? If I’m understanding correct, if you’re using the mic straight to your phone (if that’s possible) you’d probably just have to use the standard mic settings , you can’t pass your PC settings unless you use your phone as a webcam on OBS and just plug in the mic to your PC like normal, you’d just mute your phone audio so it doesn’t get captured on OBS
