This one does not tell much about Nosie compression and I like this one better

[@TheVideoNerd]

IMPORTANT: lots of you skip the compressor part & just take my settings. THIS DOES NOT WORK. I know I mentioned the word 'presets', which is why you all skip that part, but it's only a part of the settings that's similar for everyone. Make sure you follow the compressor & expander part. Those are the most important ones of this video. Cheers!

dont know what i did wrong but its absolutely terrible using my Yeti mic - done every step and can barely hear myself on the recording

[@szkokee]

I dont get the Expander part. No matter how i tweak it it picks up my voice and all the rumbles of the keyboard, mouse, desk...I have a hyperx solocast mic maybe its not good enough?

[@GaragemDoInventor]

Man, I have been watching videos for months trying to setup my mic correctly. KZbin is full of useless videos about OBS configurations. You finally made me understand how compressor and expander works in a so simple way that is umbelivable. Thank you very much! 1.000 likes

[@Famiklor]

For low budget mics who have strange noice, like "bzzzzzzzzz" do next: 1. Find Audio Mixer 2. Find Mic/Aux 3. Press left click on three dots 4. Click on Filters 5. Add Noise Suppression 6. Click on Method and choose RNNoise(good quiality, more CPU usage)

Thank you so much!!!

Honestly the visual use of showing the differences before, after and during tweaking is what made this whole video so much more digestible. I struggle more than anything with audio and resort to sloppy post adjustments - thanks so much for helping me finally have some idea how to tackle it.

the actual mic wasnt even plug in. shut this is a terrible demonstration because there is no demonstration. He's using an sm7, its litteraly like speaking threw the mouth of god. the sm7 is so good even for the 400 (American) average price tag, it doesnt need anythimg and geuss what dude the eq stayed the same the whole video. bro how the fuck do you children get so flabbergasted by flashy rgb or a clean room, lol, its beyond the thought process of most.

Bought this mic years ago and still use it to this day, it is my go to desk mic for anything I do for streams and making videos, hopefully this'll help make me sound better lol

[@arcanedame3015]

I really liked that you took the time to explain exactly what was happening so we could adjust to our needs! The only part that was really difficult was with VST. I'm not sure if this is it, but having a girls voice seemed to make a big difference in how I needed to equalize. I still don't think its quite right but I'm sure I'll figure it out!

[@GonzPaoli]

Yes! A female voice varies tremendously from a male voice. I suggest looking around for EQ tutorials and just playing around with the settings yourself until you get a sound you're satisfied with. Good luck!

[@scooterxiv3778]

thank the gods and you of course. i had a problem with my keyboard and mouse being picked up by the mic because i did buy a way over the top mic for a not so over the top setup so it was very sensitive. but for me noise suppression and compressor fixed my quiet mic and backround noises! THANK YOU!

[@minicenn]

this video literally improved my mic quality to a level none of the other super popular videos on youtube could, this is the best there is thank you man

[@heckinthewhy]

Thank you again! We finally upgraded our microphone and had to start from scratch with the audio adjustments. We saved this video so we could come back to it and it really came in handy today. Two years later and you're still helping us out!

[@UrbnBarz]

Excellent presentation. Probably the best and most straightforward on OBS and mics. Thank you.

[@The_HippieJesus]

Been trying to get my mic settings figured out for days. This video was perfect at explaining WHY certain adjustments are necessary and what they actually do, everyone else just says 'use this thing with these numbers', which is why I've been struggling. The live demo of the compressor should be required watching for anyone using a mic in OBS.

[@raidoukuzo7280]

I can't express how thankful I am for this. I've been fiddling with VSTs (reafir, noise gate), RN Noise, RTX Voice. I also have a SM7B. I always used the Compressor, but I had never used the Expander before. This eliminated my need for a Noise Gate. My voice actually comes through properly and I don't have to worry about keyboard clicks. My voice is pretty bassy and low, so it would get cut out from time to time. Right now, I just have those two filters applied since I don't have need for EQ. Thank you again. Love you 3000.

[@tristannn808]

i have a question, didn’t rnnoise help you?

[@raidoukuzo7280]

@@tristannn808 Hello there! I have since changed my FX Chain, but I still make use of an Expander. While RN Noise did help, there are better ways about reducing noise. What microphone are you currently using?

[@tristannn808]

@@raidoukuzo7280 Thank you for replying. I have only tested krisp, rtx voice, and rnnoise. rnnoise seemed like the one that least affected audio quality. I am currently using an at2020, and is currently doing great at blocking blue switches + electric fan noise. I only use it for discord and comms. Of course, if there is something better out there, I am lending my ear. :D

thank you so much for the dono!! Really appreciate it, glad the video helped

[@amolodchik]

Good tips about compressor and expander, but: 1) For better noise reduction, configure your mic to 48000Hz/16bit format and position RNNoise first in the list. 2) RNNoise uses CPU and not very CPU intensive, but very effective. 3) Gate can be very useful too. Noise reduction -> Gate/Expander -> Compressor -> EQ -> Limiter

[@Munushew]

So I'm just curious about this, The OBS documentation says that the Expander should be after the Compressor. Is that incorrect??

[@CGWolfGaming]

Great job explaining the filters! I definitely misunderstood the output gain on compressor before this. This is why I love watching these tutorial videos even for things I've already seen tons of times. Sometimes you just need that one person to explain that one specific thing.

I bought the razer seiren mini a couple months ago, because I heard that it is one of the best budget microphones, but i couldn't get it to sound that good and I didn't find tutorials that helped me whatsoever. However after watching your video it really made a tremendous difference on the sound quality. Thank you and keep up the great work!

I’ve searched everywhere for a video that will explain to me why I keep hearing a buzzing sound in the background. Your video actually accidentally helped me realize that the the pc fan was was vibrating my mics arm, so I moved the mic arm and re-adjusted my filter settings and no more background buzz. Thanks

[@frosteez2026]

This was a quick, thorough, effective tutorial. It was easy to follow and worked like a charm I will say for anyone who sees this, make sure you listen and tune your own mic and dont copy his exact values for threshold, gain, and even attack. If you find that when tuning the expander you had to turn your threshold wayyy up to get rid of keyboard clicks and background noise, then you may have had trouble with your mic not activating as soon as you start speaking…. If that is the case adjust your attack on your Expander filter, if your words are being cut off at the end of your speaking, then adjust your Release in your Compressor filter. Good Luck 👍🏽 and clean sound to All!!!!!!

[@JBEADZz]

what did you change your attack and release to ? i cannot for the life of me make it pick up my voice consistently

[@nachos1162]

Thanks for the video! I want to add however if anyone is using a Blue Yeti and you can't get it to stop picking up your typing even when moving threshold all the way to the right, try adding Noise Suppression. I put my polar pattern to Cardioid and then went Compressor rattio 2, threshold -16.10, Attack 2ms, Release 100ms, Gain 9.9. Expander is set to 1.6 ratio, threshold 0, attack 2, release 100, gain -4.3, Noise suppression RNNoise. With these settings using a blue yeti. It could be my key switches, I don't remember what switch color mine is, but they're louder than I like and it ends up being really loud on stream and transferring to my mic.

Thank you so much, I couldn't figure out what to change!❤

Make sure to add the noise gate that he shows at 16:35 before testing everything out. It's very necessary to remove your keyboard clicks while allowing you to speak kinda quietly still!

It's like cutting every youtubers bits of information in their video and put it into yours. Thank you! Sorry for bad english.

[@Zidakuh]

Also, remember that the order of the plugins/filters actually matter! It goes from top-to-bottom. Typically to get a very good low background noise sound, go in this order: Noise suppression Expander or noise gate EQ Compressor Limiter This will most likely fix the constant hiss of the mic too, since that was boosted by the compressor in the video, before it was suppressed. Just a small helpful tip from an audio engineer. Aside from that, great video! The way to set the compressor settings is actually really clever. I usually load up Reaper and make a preset there, and just load that same VST into OBS, but this really makes it easier. EDIT: Compressor and EQ can be interchanged, and sometimes rightfully so, since a very agressive EQ curve can potentially affect how the compressor clamps down on the sound source. Test and see what sounds best to you. Also add a limiter at the very end of the filter chain, to avoid unexpected peaks to clip your sound. Even if it looks like it doesn't do anything or it doesn't react. I would also look up something like the Dead Duck channel strip, since it has basically all the processing in a single VST that you'd need. (Use the Dead Duck Channel 2, as the other one will add 5ms latency to your signal) Sidenote: it is fine to add the same filter more than once, if you need e.g. multiple EQ's or multiple compressors. But do be aware that in this case, less is more. If you have to use 5 EQ's to get your mic to sound good, then it's probably about time to get a different mic.

Pretty useful and detailed tutorial. However one thing you got wrong in the noise suppression part is that "Speex" and "RNNoise" are always available, while "NVIDIA Noise Removal" requires an NVIDIA card and only shows up when you have NVIDIA Broadcast SDK installed. Love your contents anyways 😉❤️ ----- Edit: Speex and RNNoise are running on the CPU and not based on AI, while NVIDIA's stuff uses your GPU and is AI-based.

[@gagelol]

don't think any nvidia card but rather an rtx card

[@BenTheGreat]

@@gagelol well, you can use rtx voice with GTX cards and Nvidia broadcast with rtx cards (dumb I know) so it might work the same in OBS and you might be able to use Nvidia noise suppression for both GTX and rtx cards. I'm not sure though I have a 3060 🤷

[@CorrinaMusic]

I found that the 3-band equaliser on OBS managed to achieve a better sound than the plug in recommended, but that's just me, in case anyone had issues with the plugin! Seriously though this video was the most helpful vid on mic sound I've seen thus far, thank you so much!!

[@TheVideoNerd]

Yes it is a new addition. I’m working on an update for this video :)

[@lordkrono6433]

Raising frequencies below 60hz (especially 20hz) is a complete mistake. Most people use devices (headphones or low-level speakers) that can't even make those sounds heard. Increasing those frequencies without the necessary analysis increases the softness of the voice but lets out the resonances generated by a possible untreated environment. A similar thing occurs with higher frequencies. Most people struggle to perceive frequencies higher than 16000hz. Above 20000hz we touch frequencies that the human being is not really able to perceive.

The bottom line is is that there are software out there that can seriously change one of these cheaper low-end mics into sounding a lot better than when it would initially, but in reality a $400 sm7 bee is a thousand times better than anything you can get out there not only that but pretty much anything over $100 is going to get you close to this guy's my quality mind you majority of this video even the part where he talks about adjusting the my quality he still using the $400 microphone he only ever uses the cheap one for like 4 seconds and this is like every video he does with these cheap microphones he has like six or seven videos saying oh perfect OBS settings to make your mic sound professional and blah blah blah blah blah he's like a thousand clickbait titles in the end like I said before if you just save up 200 bucks and buy you a good dollar microphone you are never going to be disappointed with it you don't have to buy the 400 dollar sm7b but when you start getting into microphones like that where you have three or four $200 microphones the moment when you get something like an sm7b where it's just God like compared to everything else you start to realize oh yeah there is a difference but it is not the difference for the audience it's a difference for you and that's what I've come to realize is that it it doesn't really matter how good you can get your mic sounding as long as you can get sounding good enough at a certain point that no one could complain about it or rather I mean just anybody could just complain about it

this is the best video on mic filtering ive ever seen. Explaining what each filter is for and also showing examples of what each slider in the filter changes helped me understand how to tweak my settings to exactly how i need them. thank you for this video!

Thank you! These tips helped me adjust my super cheap earbud mic to sound much better! Much more balanced volume, much less static, etc. I really didn't think it would make this drastic of a difference, especially with a mic this cheap. Edit (6 months later): I now have the hyperx cloud core headset and the mic quality is drastically improved with this guide!

well explain

This is the best video I've found hands down even for more pro mics, Thank you sir 💙

I'm just using my crappy headset mic for now as I've only just started streaming as a bit of fun, but even still this has massively improved the quality of the audio, thanks very much!

Going to try these settings out on my next video, wild how much better these settings sound than they did a few years ago.

Saved it! Thanks superb tutorial A few questions if youd answer... I have a laptop, lapi mic and earphones. 1. followed the settings and it's already dope. 2. For the time being i was able to individually set the audio output and input to front mic and build in speakers respectively Here's what I want to figure and need your help with. Keep my mic connected and get output on laptop speaker. (I am considering the option for a dual splitter for boya and earphones ) Np, solved it

Just wanna say out of every OBS mic tutorial yours is the best by far!

Thank you very much bro, This whole time i was disappointed with my razer seiren mini. I didn’t know about the mic pattern. This all time i was screaming to back side of the mic. Also your explanation on the filters also really great. You literally end my frustration.
