for the filters(audio effects) to work you need to select Wave Link MicrophoneFX (Elgato Wave:3) do a quick recording and double check swapping between wave 3/micfx and play it back to check.

Blue yeti is what I've used since 2016, people wonder how much money I dumped into a mic, and are amazed at the audio quality. And it has gone through some moving and bumps, and still doesn't show a single sign of wear or drop in audio quality. This shit was built to last, and it's the best money I've spent on any computer hardware ever. And I mainly use Logitech hardware, but this one takes the cake.

i have a hyperx quadcast, when i first got it i was never aware of how bad it sounded by default i just bought it cause it was cool looking. but after i got a new pc i realized how bad it could sound and how it was picking up my keyboard, mouse etc. so i started using steelseries gg's sonar program it was really easy to setup and now i sound crisp and it doesnt pick up keyboard sounds. (i use the deep voice preset if anyone was wondering. since my voice is deep)

Hey Harris! I've been watching you for a few years now, and ended up getting caught up with life and not watching much youtube at all so I've missed a lot of your videos, but I've always loved your content, and recommend it to any one trying to learn more and get into streaming/content creation. I remember when you first put out stream beats, and a couple weeks ago I looked at it again, and holy cow the amount of progress that has been made there is amazing! All that to say, thank you for what you do! I know you have helped out so many people in the industry, and I hope you keep at it for a long time to come ❤

This thumbnail is very missleading, I clicked on the video thinking I could finally make my Quadcast S useful (very bad mic choice imo) but turns out it's yet another elgato video. Now i aint mad about an elgato video but yeah, next time include the microphone that you are actually featuring into the thumbnail instead of missleading the thumbnail.

Right at the start, I could tell the difference in mic quality. But I actually think the cheaper one sounds better and more natural... I use an AKG C214 for my "high-quality" needs, and a Shure SM57 (percussion microphone) for everything else. They're really cheap and sound really good.

Finally, someone actually saying to shoot for the yellow X"D Having done media production for my major and worked as an audio engineer for live and studio for 7 years, it always irked me when people would say "don't hit the yellow, never hit yellow. Stay in green". It is so common on YT guide videos, that I almost never send YT guides to friends who are trying to setup audio anymore and I just jump on calls with them to help out XP

Silencing Screams Completely Solution? I love the Elgato Noise Removal and other AI Noise Removal plugins but they silent my screams completely! My friends and viewers delight in hearing the screams so I have to do without AI Noise Removal. I use a Compressor, and my noise removal work around is using Deesgate plugin.. It's not as good but it atleast gets rid of some noise.

I suffer from having a quiet voice but loud background (window ac about 10 feet away). Nvidias filter (background noise remover?) always makes my voice sound like water no matter the strength. I just have to use a slightly high gain because of my voice on a sm7b, which unfortunately brings in background noise.

I have a Yeti X mic but i also use a Jabra EVOLVE LINK headset and mic for streaming since my setup is a bit jank and the yeti x on the stand is a bit awkward to use. I would enjoy a tutorial on how to set these up in OBS directly with the built in filters to sound at least decent. I've done the best i could within my capabilities, however not sure it sounds good at all. I'm also partially deaf (only one functioning ear, and sometimes that single ear also has issues) so i have a hard time figuring out what sounds good or not.

Holy hell, that intro was way louder than the vocals. I lunged for my speakers to turn it down. And then cranked it back up when the vocals came back super soft and I couldn't make anything out. Quite an odd choice for a video about setting up the perfect sound. Might want to rebalance the dynamics for future videos.

This video was a little underwhelming.Don't get me wrong there were some nice informations but the only thing about "better sound quality" is a EQ and a link to a compressor vid. And that's it? No other filters like an Expander etc? No word about the importance of the order of the active filters in OBS? That's a little thin for a "masterclass" imo. I know it's for free but I thought there would be more "meat" in a Senpai Gaming Masterclass vid ;-)
