Make Elgato Wave DX Mic Sound Better | Elgato EQ VST3 Plugin

[@MurrayFrost]

I am selling my SM7B and keeping the Elgato Wave DX. Grab the new Elgato Wave DX here 👉bit.ly/ElgatoWaveDX

[@DKTD23]

I will probably sell my SM7B as well. I like how light the DX is on the mic arm as well.

[@Pazdzioch1993]

Would you sell your SM7b if there weren't be noise cancellation from RTX? I am thinking to switch from Rode NT-1 to Wave XLR+DX but I am a Mac user :/

[@imnothot2510]

For mids(boxiness) and nasal-sounding frequencies, try to listen for the worse-sounding frequency from the range of 350hz-3khz to make a cut(s). You want to boost a node to 10 decibels and make the bandwidth(thiccness of the band) thin and then reduce the frequency. With this try to hear out the worst range in the two sound profiles for your voice specifically since we don't share the same body. For warmth and bass, you can increase the level from 70-250hz. Anything lower just increases any rumbles in your voice and your environment. Both the Wave and Dx mics are really clear, so you really don't need a presence boost unless you feel like it's lacking, and if so add a 1-3 dB increase from 3-8k, just listen for the best frequency and bandwidth.

Thanks for the tips. I am no wound engineer so still learning.

[@jmesweeney]

Excellent video, thank you 👏Do you sync your audio in post or do you record direct to camera? If so how. Thank you 😊

[@DieTabbi]

Good video. Which PC case is that on your left side? If I put my case with glass window on my desk I can put it only on my right because the glass is on the left. If I put it like you I have the controll buttons on the back.

An interesting stream, thanks. I've watched several streams about this product, all of them are pretty positive with the 'out of the box' sound, and equally positive once it has been tweaked.

[@vMurdered]

Wow the noise removal does way more than I thought. I will be using it from now on.

[@MurrayFrost]

It’s pretty cool 😎

[@vMurdered]

@@MurrayFrost just used it with my Wave 3. Fan noise is completely gone. Thanks for the tip

[@TheChampCR]

I tried applying it but for some reason when I play around with the equalizer it doesn’t even do anything

[@Thebearcave1776]

Definitely getting the Wave DX

[@NothinEasyGaming]

Great Video!!! Just fix my audio and wow!!!!

Does the EQ work with a XLR mic?? As in Sm7b?

[@olbapskee]

Wave Link app only supports other newer devices like the Stream Deck +, Wave 3 mic, Wave XLR, and even the Wave 1.. not the Wave XD, unless I have any of the other devices that isn't a mic, I can't even use this software.

[@ReaccionatiSpain]

Very helpful

[@BillAshtonNelo]

Thanks

[@AJCoReTV]

Where is the link for the new VST (mac)?!

[@MurrayFrost]

I believe it is available for Mac. Let me ask my Elgato rep and see where that link is

[@haies09]

That PC though 👀

[@MurrayFrost]

😉

[@BroughtMirrorYT]

Would this work with el gato wave 3?

[@MurrayFrost]

Yes, 100%

[@amiocap0242]

How do I uninstall the elgato eq?

[@amiocap0242]

How do I uninstall the elgato eq? It doesn’t save and I rather uninstall it.

[@IgorPetrovic13]

Not available for Mac.

[@AJCoReTV]

Elgato hasn’t responded to my tweet asking about the mac version. What a let down

[@MurrayFrost]

I think it is available for Mac but I will talk with Elgato and find out for you

[@AJCoReTV]

@@MurrayFrost yes let me know, appreciate that. I am trying to lead a shift into “Mac” streamers. So far I’ve used elgato wave XLR, HDX (VRR capture), Streamdeck to prove that Mac streaming is possible (for next Gen console gamers). Thx for all that you do Murray!

[@renren_goaway]

@@AJCoReTV any update on this? Is it available on mac now? I’ve been searching for weeks now lol

[@NoManchesMarcos]

bro please do a review of the Blue Sona, its better than the Wave DX and better than the SM7B

[@CaptianK]

Doesn’t help if you don’t have a wave link and only use a goxlr…

[@whiskeyfamily6717]

When I try using the nvida filter it pop and cuts my mic in out while in game any ideas why

[@MurrayFrost]

The nvidia broadcast noise removal by Elgato has a small bug and some people get that problem. Elgato is working on an update

[@whiskeyfamily6717]

@@MurrayFrost thank u so much for the reply back I greatly appreciate it

[@DKTD23]

Why did you boost your voice at 36hz? No human voice goes so deep. It will only boost rumble and noise from your desk! No human voice and no sibilance goes up to 18khz, so i really do not understand what you are reducing up there. Male voices sibilance range in 3kHz to 6kHz while female voice's typically range in 6kHz - 8kHz. The voiced speech of a typical adult male will have a fundamental frequency from 85Hz to 15.5 kHz, and that of a typical adult female from 165Hz to 25.5 kHz. Sorry Mate, but you should have had a look into Wikipedia before uploading this video! Oh, and one more thing: Elgato Wave DX's frequency range goes only from 50-15.000 Hz. ( And i shouldn't write long text on a phone..so many mistakes!)

[@MurrayFrost]

Well, you learn something every day. Thanks for the correction.

[@tapatvde]

@@MurrayFrost No problem, you're welcome! I was just so surprised to see you going so wrong, when all your other videos are brilliant. I guess what you wanted was a hint of that fm-radio-voice sound, right? Try these steps: First use the high pass filter at about 80Hz-90Hz. That will remove the rumble and hum without cutting too much away on the low end of your voice. Then give that EQ a 3db bump at about 150Hz-200Hz with a soft and middle-wide curve. Then do a -3db drop at about 1500Hz (1.5kHz) with a soft and wide curve. For the sibilance look at the EQ when you speak "S" and "Sh" and you will see where the spike is for your voice. Mine is at about 5000Hz (5kHz). Just do a 3db drop with a narrow curve and you'll be good to go. My voice is a baritone, yours seem to be a little higher. It took me a little "playing with the nobs" to find the right settings for me, but if you follow my tips it will be a breeze for you. Let me know how it's running and have a great day! 🤓👍

[@JaasBaas]

@@tapatvde This is great! I'm gonna try and use these tips to readjust my EQ as I know practically nothing about sound mixing lol. Thanks for the great comment!

[@tapatvde]

@@JaasBaas You're welcome, thanks for your kind words! You will need an EQ that shows you the waveforms in real time, so you can see unwanted peaks in your frequency range! Are you using a Waxe XLR or a different interface? With the Wave XLR you can use their own wavelink EQ that @Murray Frost has show in his video, but if you use any other interface, i do recommend the FREE TDR NOVA plugin ( www.audiopluginsforfree.com/tdr-nova/ ). That plugin does not only provide two kinds of EQ, you'll get three compressors with it! That fm-radio-voice sound that everybody likes - it's mostly made of good EQing and proper Compression. 🤓👍
