    Honestly I'd say #4 is a big issue for most new people. Not because it's not known. More so people don't understand how to even do it. It's harder in OBS for most people sadly...

      Do you know what kind of software can be used for removing background noise? Nvidia broadcast is great but still leaves background noise out for some reason. This is also for things like discord or recording videos when no editing is involved

      @blackshuck9799 7 месяцев назад +6

      @@Zynphii For me I have a shure sm7b mic so my background noise in Obs is pretty much non existent to begin with.
      However if your recording vocals for say a video or something. Your best route would be to use something like Audacity and its noise cancellation feature. However you'd have to look up a guide for it, since it isn't very user friendly.
      You could also do editing through something like Davinchi resolve 18 to remove background noise. But that's not 100% perfect but gets most of the noise removed.
      If your using OBS though you'd have to do some testing with your mic and figure out what settings work for you and etc.
      Hope this helps...

    • @BadIntentStreamTechReviews
      @BadIntentStreamTechReviews  Месяц назад

      Under $50 is pretty tough for all of these. Does your tablet have a USB-C port? If so, the HyperX SoloCast is a good option to look at. But do keep in mind:
      It doesn't do amazing with breathing sounds (hard to find good plosive rejection under $50. However, it's a condenser so you can position it slightly away from your mouth and you can speak at it from an angle so it doesn't pick them up.
      2. For like $15 more you can get a cheap boom arm with a pop filter to improve the sound even more.

      If you’re hearing delay in your earphones it’s because you’re mixing the Input and Playback signals. When you record, only send the input mic signal to the earphones. When you want to hear what you’ve recorded, only send the Playback to the earphones. I doubt Audacity is doing that. I use Audacity too. The problem is most likely coming from the settings in Windows.

    • @totallyfrozen
      @totallyfrozen 6 месяцев назад

      The polar pattern is not related to the address. A mic is constructed to either be side address or top address. A ribbon mic, for example, may be side address and have either cardiod or figure 8 polar patterns, but it’s still a side address mic.

      I recommend that you don’t get reverb that way because you cannot control it and you won’t be able to correct it in EQ. EQ your vocal track after you’ve recorded it that way will make it sound worse. It’s better to record it as dry as possible and add effects later. There are a multitude of ways you can do that. Free software is available to do it too.
