You're incredible. You've explained this topic to me in a clear and understandable way. Looking forward to finally having my mic sound good. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much!! It helped me much more than other videos in my language, which is Spanish, that I have seen, it is the best video that best explains this equalizer that I have seen! again thank you very much and greetings!! from Sonora! Mexico!
I liked t he video, only part i got lost is when adding the compressor through VST as per what you were doing on the video i didn't get the same thing open. I got the same bands kinda option as earlier in the video but clearly an issue on my end! Thanks!
my reaper plugins weren't showing up in OBS unless I directly downloaded them to C\Program Files\VSTPlugins (I had to make that folder to download to) now they finally show up in OBS but I can't open the plugin interfaces for ANY of the filters. Been searching all over for answers. Did this a couple months ago and everything worked first time flawlessly, but I just got a fresh install of windows and now none of the reaplugs are working.
They are trained, and you really need to use quality headphones or speaker monitors to listen. The changes made are subtle for me since the Podmic I use itself is tuned fairly well already. Put your head in a box, talk in it at normal talking volume and then do it out of the box, like normal. Then, you'll know the difference.
Probably a lot of room verb. Making sure you speak close into the mic while using enough gain to get a good level from your voice without overdoing it is my first recommendation. AI Noise Suppression should help with that some. You can also find the offending frequencies and cut them in an EQ to reduce it.
@@FrugalStreamer my setup is against the wall, so it might be verb. I cant get my mic any closer without an arm or something. But with how hard it is to get subs, its not easy for me to spend $30+ on something that might just end up in the closet forgotten.
I always use the limiter filter in OBS for my audience mix. If you are using the Wave XLR, Wavelink has the clip guard function which eliminates the need for a limiter on your mic. It will detect clipping and reroute/replace the clipped audio with a reduced signal (I think it is -6dB).
I use the OBS monitor function when tuning the mic and checking to make sure it sounds good. Otherwise, I don't listen to myself when streaming. I feel there's no need to.
When you are doing the EQ settings and you are on the #2 tab, would you want to also sweep for boxy sounding frequencies and lower gain there as well if there are any?
Sorry, edited response. You could. It's up to you. With ReEQ, you can add as many bands as you need and you could use them for whatever you need to do. I just try to keep things in order for my own sanity.
Is there a good way to hear your mic while you're doing this if it doesnt have a monitor bus? I tried using OBS's monitor setting but it sounds completely different than the recordings and I'm really struggling to figure it out at this point :(
Well, Windows has a monitor function in it for any recording sources, but that will also be pre-processed. It is interesting why the monitor sounds different than your records, because it shouldn't. I will look into that and see if I can reproduce something similar.
Thank you SOOO much for this video. This is the very first time that a video has helped me with my microphone issues, especially since i've been watching so many without them helping me much with the sound quality of my mic but now it sounds INCREDIBLE
This was one of the best run throughs of how to do this ever. You rock!

Glad it was helpful!

Curious if it is Reaper specific? You tried another brand, like Analogue Obessions free plugins?
I wish i could actually tell what is considered boxy.. i cant tell. i sound fine but i know to others i might now. >< you have amazing ears.

Great video, the settings really helped. But no matter what I still sound like I'm in a bathroom, for lack of a better term.

@@guardiangarasu You get can a cheap one that will work for you for less than $15 on Amazon.
Thanks!
You bet!
what about limiter setting and plugin for Wave-XLR? I really appreciate these tutorials
I always use the limiter filter in OBS for my audience mix. If you are using the Wave XLR, Wavelink has the clip guard function which eliminates the need for a limiter on your mic. It will detect clipping and reroute/replace the clipped audio with a reduced signal (I think it is -6dB).
Awesome video does these settings works for people who yells and talk loud ? 🤣
Yes, just need to compensate threshold in the compressor and limiter
WHAT IT DO MY GOOD BROTHER. I HAVE THE SAME NUMBER AND I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS TUNING GUIDE AND HOPE EVERYONE IS GREAT.
Your number got erased from my phone. Text me please
Any recs for a parametric eq for Mac?
REQ should work
how do you hear yourself ?
I use the OBS monitor function when tuning the mic and checking to make sure it sounds good. Otherwise, I don't listen to myself when streaming. I feel there's no need to.
Do you prefer VST plugins in OBS or Steelseries Sonar? Do you use them together?
VSTs by far. More flexibility.
When you are doing the EQ settings and you are on the #2 tab, would you want to also sweep for boxy sounding frequencies and lower gain there as well if there are any?

Just a quick maybe dumb question how are you monitoring or hearing ur own audio as your making changes
My monitor bus on Elgato Wavelink.
This just works for wave mics only
No. Any mic.
Does this work the same on Streamlabs obs
Yep
its not free at all!!!
What isn't?
yes this was very helpfull
Thanks!
No problem!
Thank you for the detailed tutorial. Unlike so many other tutorials on youtube, this one makes me feel like I actually learned something.
Great vid.
Also best accent on the net.
I can almost hear you shouting 'WHY CANT YOU BALANCE YOUR EQ BOY!?'
This video helps me a lot, thanks !
Terrific explanation and great visuals. Thank you for the video!

You made my day! Glad it helped!
Thank you very much for the well thought out explanation. Much appreciated sir!
You are very welcome
I downloaded the plug in but it’s not showing on the EQ?
What isn't?

Sure it does, just not to you.
@@FrugalStreamer I'm simple minded 🤣 you sayin a bunch of big words
