    Thank you so much!!! I spent about 5 hours trying to figure out what my mic issues were. I finally discovered the Voice Recorder in windows so that I could figure out that my mic volume was too low. I didn't have the boost options, so once I downloaded the equalizer and went through those steps everything worked like a dream!

    Thank you so much - I was getting ready to buy a new mic which was unnecessary.... I knew it worked fine when using it with my phone, but I tried two different setups on my pc that it very low sound (usb headset mic and headphone jack) so I knew it had to be something in the system. This not only save me $$ but also the headache of finding out it wasn't the mic after all. (the opensource APO did the trick)

    @Draxxuzownzu 3 года назад +5

    How do you increase your mic volume without increasing gain? For my mic (samson q2u) I only see one "microphone" option in the Levels tab but, if I increase that slider too much (like 85+), it gets staticy, loses bassness, quality goes down. However if I bring that slider down, the quality is better, the bass is there, but the I sound too low. So how can I maintain that good sound quality while also increasing the mic volume?
