[@The-third-eye777]

I been waiting for this video from just any known streamer and this guy here nailed it again.....DAM you just did it again. You are never late just in time!!!!

[@samueljansem7809]

[@tristianjohnson4289]

DUDE RIGHT!?!?!?!?!?!

[@JohnZingTTV]

This video is great i sware i seen this before and used it and the algorythm (all hail the mighty google) picked it up agian. Gr8 naration editing and delivery it respects the end users time. tyvm for the content please keep making content liek this! o7 11/10. Making nubcake streamers look & sound like pros! :D

[@ninety5gaming70]

The layout and facecam overlay you have for the software tutorial of this video is SO CLEAN. The portrait orientation and rounded corners, along with the drop shadow. Super simple, but looks awesome. Idk why that stood out to me so much lol.

[@SammyNoir]

I spent literal hours to figure out how to make my mic sound better and this was the only video that was this in depth but also simple and easy to understand as this one, so thank you so much!

[@Andrew-db1ts]

Just spent some time scanning your channel and the growth you had on designing thumbnails. This one is truly amazing

[@UrbnBarz]

Excellent tutorial. No wasted time spent, just straight to the point. I learned a lot listening to you today. Thank you.

[@elivate5523]

I've watched alot of your audio videos in the past. This by far is the best one yet. I understood alot of what you were saying and im hoping I can apply this to my microphone

[@Barboron]

When I started learning how to do filters for audio, it was far less complex than I would have imaged it to be. These videos are a great help, once I started messing with filters, I have had people mention the audio being either 'on point' from the moment they come in or the balancing for being a lot better for IRL streaming or game streaming. Your video goes a nice step further with mic placement. Great video, some extra tips in here I wouldn't have considered.

[@kevin.durant]

Love this, its simple and very efficient. No bs, no time wasted, just straight to the point. Thanks dude.

[@benasinfo1785]

I love how you explain everything instead of just saying what might or might not be the best settings. Absolute gold ❤❤🔥🔥🔥

[@MonkeyoChaos]

Great video. Appreciate that you took the time to explain what the settings were rather than just running through it and leaving me clueless like so many other videos do.

[@brad.979.]

finally Audio settings that work, Thankyou so much, i do have a few tweaks to make but im blown away with how different the sound is

[@Valaran1]

Not only do you really know your stuff, but you explain it very well too. Phenomenal video, I'll be using this to overhaul my entire stream audio tonight.

[@NeverOne]

Thank you so much! I've been struggling with audio so much and tried so many different ways to make it better and this really helped me!

[@mordecaix7]

Thank you! I've been having problems figuring out the noise gate so I'm really excited to try switching to the Expander! Great explanations. Love it.

[@mattar666]

I discovered your channel the other day and i must say, you are fantastic on your advices and tutorials. I really appreciate your work here, great stuff!

[@Zwimut]

Thanks, really helpful, I was not fully satisfied with my mic adjustment following other tutorial. Your explanation was clear and now my mic sounds way better.

[@mikebjork5647]

Brilliant video. Helped so much. Thank you! But those transitions between you and Chris are amazing.

[@XeniaNikolenko]

I've watched sooooo many videos about obs mic settings, but yours is the only one, that made my mic sound really nice and natural! Thank you so much!!!!

[@Kustonius]

This came out perfectly timed, as i needed to adjust my streaming sound quality badly since until next month im stuck with my webcam as my mic this helped a ton on the quality and with the settings already mostly in place it will be a lot easier to plug in the new mic one i get it and quickly re-adjust everything to fit the new mic as well.

[@QuriusDesigns]

just a little tip, usually for vocals everything on the frequency spectrum under 100 hz is unwanted so you can cut it out. And if you adjust the bandwith of your low pass and/or hi pass band, be careful with the resonance it creates i could see that when you adjusted it you basically boosted frequencies between 80 and 100 Hz which will result in a rumbly sound that is just taking up space and will interfere with low frequencies of game music and sounds when you stream. another thing you can do is having seperate bell curved band and lowering the bandwith to something very narrow. Turn up the gain of that band and you can then slowly move it from 100 Hz up. If you hear any unwanted resonances from either a background noise or your voice you can lower the gain back down and cut it out around like -2 to -4db depending on how loud the resonance is. (you can repeat that step if you have multiple resonances just be careful to not do it too much) (btw its pretty frequent that you will have some harsh frequencies between 7k and 9khz with your " S' " and " T's ", especially if you don't have a pop filter.)

[@ragingewok5273]

Thank you so much for the video! I'll for sure be messing with these settings to add to my stream. Great work!

[@solidusshane]

Most informal video I've managed to find! Much appreciated and great information that truly did change my microphone sound.

[@VelocidadeAlta]

Amazing mate! You help a lot with your videos! Keep going! Cheers from Brazil!

[@CozyGen]

This is it.... this is what I've been needing and waiting for. Long gone are the days of me having to CONSTANTLY be fixing sound during stream because something happened that was louder than myself: the game being quiet then suddenly getting way too loud, or when switching from one game to another. Not to mention those moments when my voice just booms because something had me raging or filled me with joy I've always felt so terrible about blowing out my viewers ear drums. Guaranteed this will be a very pleasant surprise for them. Every day, the stream gets better

[@davinciinkcustoms]

TOTALLY NEEDED THIS!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
