Big respect to a guy who can admit he's wrong and correct himself for the viewers to learn from. You're a good dude.
You should've seen him in his earlier videos/tweets. He engages with viewers who contradict him and how he does things. That was a time I took a hiatus from viewing his content because of his hostile attitude. Seeing him more accepting of the opinions of his viewers shows that he's come a long way.
I love him too
I was about to write the same thing.Respect.
@@EpicGamer440 Agree. Believe it or not there my be subscribers to Jay who are actually sound engineers or even people who design and make the equipment that he was talking about. Never underestimate the power of community and the level of expertise they may bring to the table. Humble Jay is a good thing.
I used to watch Jerry a lot until he responded to an email I sent him like a jerk and I haven't watched him since, even avoided tech talk because I just couldn't believe his on cam personality anymore.
You have all of those sounds programmed, but no preprogrammed sound saying “but, I digress.”

Yea but it comes standard when he speaks, lol
Think he says this enough on his own :P
TBH it should be a dono sound.
better he need another slider like the de-esser,for de-idigresser,but maybe then he will need to watercool the processing chip.

youtubers since 6 years ago acts like a telemarketer, I checked the comments in the first video and no one said anything about GoXlr, I guess he needs to push a new product in each video so here it is another 500 bucks affiliate link, which in my opinion you won't need just download audacity for tune your voice, for effects there infinite software for voice fx, many free of charge, yeah the GoXlr device is cool is has everything pack but you have to spend twice the amount you need for the mic which is the most important part of this audio setup that will work fine with any audio interface like those behringer of 30 bucks, like everyone said just put it in your mouth lol

@@Swansong16 You won the internet today
Hey, it's not a Harmonica!
Hey jay, I recommend lowering the gain on your microphone before it goes into the preamp. If you do that then it wont pop and you don't have to worry about it. The compressor is going to be OK at helping normalize the volume but there is a good chance that some clips will make its way through if you get too loud. If you just raise the gain on the compressor and set the threshold lower you can keep that volume that you want while not chancing any clipping. Much love Jay!
Exactly , Well said
I liked hoping he'll actually see your comment.
I'm guessing this works sort of like using an analogue mic on a regular sound card. I never use 100% gain. Usually end up at ~90% with some variation depending on how shitty the actual sound card is.
This is correct, remove all processing and set faders to unity then set gain to eliminate input clipping. Then set compressor and EQ and turn up the "make up gain" so that channel output is roughly the same.
@@aBoogivogi depending on the setup and the amount of amplification being applied before being converted to a digital signal, the signal can clip. I have never used a sound card, ive always used audio interface. Its probably a very similar case though
My only recommendation: I wouldn't boost that hard at 49hz. That's subwoofer range. Anything below 60hz in a voice I personally wouldn't actively boost.
120 Hz bass cut in a music mix, maybe lower it to 80 or 60 Hz for speech. What I usually do at least
God I hate it when I listen to videos in the car and I have to turndown my Sub because of this. It mostly breathing noise at the lower frequencies from voice and mechanical vibrations from a lack of a floating mic.
At least Jay doesn't have that terrible habit of constantly adjusting his mic.
i usually even lower the lf's when i have an event with a speech and boost the mids, wouldnt reccomend incresing bass expect of music
Yeah. He has way too much low end boost. My guess is his headphones have significant low end roll off, and he's adjusting based on those rather than getting a good pair, or better yet, a pair of actual monitors that have a flat response. I've always found headphones to be complete crap in general for using as references when setting eq curves.
Agreed
Roll off the low end from 70Hz down, you'll lose some of the "warmth" but also that low rumble and boominess, It'll sound tons better, trust ya boy!
yesh i think you right there Ciprian
true but that's the wrong way to go about it. he can keep the deep bass voice and fix the rumble and boominess, it's called a subsonic filter. he needs one set to 30hz or so. he instead needs to cut the 75-192hz bands a couple db to get rid of some muddiness. lower his pre-gain a bit, and back off the compressor a bit to be less aggressive. and back the de-esser down to 25, it sounds fine there. too much reduces clarity and high end that helps with intelligibility.
Yep. When I mix for TV, I cut from 72 Hz on down.
@@Artcore103 Uhm.... did you try turning if off and on again?
Agree, that boominess is annoying.
Me: that’s a really cool monitor *clicks link*

As someone with a home studio, this was definitely fun to watch. The world of audio and sound production is a never-ending learning experience where “break through” technology is always being invented. Glad you listened to your audience and improved your setup, it sounds great!
This whole situation has been handled amazingly well by everyone involved. Jay, your first video did a great job of presenting the problem, IMO the community had a great response with lots of helpful tips, and in the end you implemented their tips to get the results you were looking for. Awesome!
Love to see someone admit their mistakes and learn how to do shit right. This is a great video, your audio sounds incredible now!
agreed, sounds like a big time radio show i listen to regularly. that will be really great for streaming
Turn down the bass a teeny bit and you're solid ;)
agreed
Or increase the mids and treble then turn the level down if it’s still to much. Subtractive eq.
yeah this is just way too low, he wanted that warm sound, but went a bit too far. sounds great for the rest though
Cool Epos Vox is here also
Yeah, it's too scooped for my preference.
One other thing I noticed was the threshold of his compressor is set a bit oddly, unless intended to be used as a limiter. With a -3dB threshold, the compressor is only beginning gain reduction when the level hits -3dB. 3dB below clipping. Generally a threshold set this high is used as a peak limiter, to prevent clipping. If used as a peak limiter though, he'd want to increase the ratio significantly, and shorten the attack. Otherwise he might consider lowering the threshold until the compressor starts digging in, then reducing the ratio if the compression is too much. General rule of thumb for compression is ~2-3dB of average reduction, then adjust from there. Makeup gain to adjust for the average gain reduction. (I'm not sure the GoXLR has a reduction meter to tell how much gain reduction is being applied though, so that can be tricky if you've never used a compressor before).
I agree with pretty much everyone else: good to see you listening and learning. Didn't need to buy new things, but if the GoXLR works for you that's fine. There's too much low end, a deep bassy smooth voice doesn't push 49Hz.
Yes Yes Yes! Thank you Jay, I am so happy you did this video. Your mic technique fixing alone is awesome! The Go XLR is really perfect for your use case, and of course, I appreciate the Humility you show in this process. You sound amazing!
5:30 turn off 49hz, that’s a frequency you don’t need and it will clean up some of the muddy sound in your voice. Also, drop the 75hz to taste. Me, I would just eliminate it all together. So try that out and report back if you can 😎🥃
Agreed! Unless you're Barry White, my subwoofer shouldn't be moving when you talk!
Just do a lowpass at around 100. Those frequencies aren't needed anyways
is this the only thing he has plugged in like does he no longer have the scarlet or the cloud lifter?
@@SOFCsquad He mentions around the last bit of the video that he has not tried this soundboard thing without his booster. For this mic, you need the booster.
@@NeonKillsIt I’ve got mine now and you do t need the booster as the goxlr has one already built in and talking to my friends my mic is louse as hell
If he goes to the HC Helicon Discord, they have recommended settings for the GoXLR with specific mics
That is good advice! Thanks, I hope Jay almighty sees this
Sounds like he's got it dialled in pretty well already. Getting the right sound has as much to do with the person's unique voice as it does with the mic they're using.
It's TC Helicon
Another reason to love this channel! I was hoping to see this video come out! Loved that you took some of the advice from the audio geeks! Glad you tried a few more things that we suggested, it is a wonderful mic!

super awesome to hear that you're where you wanna be now! that's the beauty of mics and audio engineering, it takes some finagling but you can get basically where you wanna be if you know what to do in most cases

I like how he has changed for the better. Way back in the day, he was a bit different. Many people think they have to be right all the time. Especially when their channels are small. So I understand where he was coming from back then. Now he takes in what people says into consideration and when he is wrong, he tells us why he was wrong and how he fixed it.
I have problems of my own I need to fix. Speaking is hard for me. I like to think about what I want to say before I say it. In this world of instant feedback, people look at me strange when I stop for a while and think. So I will probably start by using discord in games.
Congrats! It looks like your setup is aligned with what you wanted to do and you're having fun. I really appreciated the way you walk us through the features and show the hardware while fiddling with the software. :)
I'm glad to hear you got the sound you like from the SM7b! It's definitely an "intimate" mic that you need to talk right into, and I love the way it sounds when you time everything just right. It's hard to get perfect, but it's so satisfying when you find the ideal settings.
Do let us know if the cloudlifter is necessary or not!

Sounds great, Jay! Glad you were able to listen to your audience and remedy the situation.
Jay, it's cool for me to see you learn about this stuff cause I go to a production school and I am trying to triple major in Live Sound, Sound Design for Film, and Audio Production and Engineering. I think its cool that you are getting a short glimpse of how audio is done because even though I am a gamer at heart, audio is my passion.
"Real Talk With Jay" sounds like the kind of podcast I use in the background to ignore my tinnitus.
Hey Jay, I've gotten heavily into audio over the last 3 years and I strongly feel that while you cannot deny the simplicity and usefulness of the GoXLR's features, the position of the minimalist which I have adopted over time might be preferable if you're going for just audio quality and convenience is not the biggest factor.
I agree that the microphone on its own sounded a little unexciting and boring, but now that you've applied some heavy processing, while not bad, it's definitely a bit much on the bass side of things.
Because of that, I have compiled a list of things I would have liked to know right from the start without the hassle of trial and error and want to present an alternative approach to microphone audio, one that you're most likely not interested in as it lacks the other features of your newfound device combination. I have to preface this by clarifying that I am in no way a professional or have studied some subject in this field. I just read up on how hardware and software related to this work internally and tried my hand at writing my own plugins for it and calibrating my microphone / speakers.
That having been said, let me share some of my findings: For natural microphone sound and plenty of bass, I think the best you can do is just use an interface without any extra features and then apply as few and little but impactful effects as possible (, all of which are FREE to set up):
1.: A FIR noise removal filter (such as Reafir from Reaper) calibrated with the microphone not plugged in to retrieve the noise profile of only the interface. For that purpose I'd keep the interface at max gain (without the cloudlifter, I don't think it should be necessary) so you
can't mess up your calibrated state later by turning the dial and being unable to return it to the exact same position after. If you don't get up close (which is preferable for streaming so you dont cover your entire face or introduce those bad plosive pops if you dont have a pop filter 5 cm + away from the mic to disperse the winds), it still shouldnt clip too often if at all because of it being a dynamic mic. That way you'd remove most of the unwanted noise from the interface with an inaudible loss in quality.
2.1.: A minimal phase FIR (or IIR) filter to equalize the microphone response. I assume you have received a graph showing the frequency response of your microphone in the box. By scanning that and extracting the data to a csv.-file and then importing it into a program such as RePhase and creating a minimal phase FIR filter that equalizes the response to be more linear within a reasonable range of frequencies (30-18000hz) you can get more natural sound and don't have to rely on the proximity effect for bass (Having an as a clean as possible input without too many effects is - in my opinion - important for later editing if need be). As an added plus: You'd get to stay a bit farther away from the mic (I'm disregarding the additional reverb and room ambiance that would be introduced if you then decided to boost the audio later, because it shouldn't be too bad with your setup). You can apply the finished impulse response using EqualizerAPO's built in convolver (or just skip FIR and use its IIR filters for best latency but probably worse sound) or the Impulser2 VST plugin from Freeverb3.
2.2.: Another filter, combined into one with the first one for the best latency, to perform any tonality changes you want such as boosting the air with a high shelf filter or highpassing below e.g. 80hz to cut out rumble. A rule of thumb is to only boost wide bands, staying below +3dB, and stick to slim cuts for anything else like piercing resonances (from your wooden desk or room modes). 80-200 Hz is where the human voice fundamental frequency is located. 800-1200 Hz is where nasal sounds reside. 2-4 kHz is where the ear is the most sensitive, so its the most important area to keep but also not to be overdone with as it will start to hurt your ears very quickly. Above that you have your sibilance, the thing the de-esser is trying to combat, and above 10 kHz its mainly air. If you want to emphasize that pop-music-mix-like breathiness and amplify the band above 10 kHz, it is probably best to have a multiband compressor after the equalizer that compresses only the high-end to keep it in check.
3.: A compressor (preferably with lookahead, look to Reacomp - also from Reaper - for a simple, only single-precison floating-point format, though, start) with very light compression so you don't change the character of your transients too much.
4.: A limiter (such as Sonic Anomaly's "Unlimited") at the end of the signal chain so you don't clip and lose that precious information you've spent so much effort retaining.
Most of these shouldn't be done out of order because you do not want to increase the loudness of some frequencies before applying the noise removal which would miss those if it has been calibrated before the introduction of the filter that's now before it. But some, such as equalizers just for tonal changes and compressors, you can have multiple of with different settings. Just don't overdo it. The same thing goes for bass: It gains its power from being at the right ratio to everything else, both, too much and too little of it, is bad.
As to what DAW you should use to host those VST plugins you choose to apply the above effects with: For realtime streaming your best option is probably EqualizerAPO. If you want something more flexible that also allows for double-precision floating-point format, you can go with VSTHost in which case you'd need FlexASIO or ASIO4ALL and some Virtual Audio Cable software to pipe the audio back into your streaming software.
**
EDIT: As has been pointed out, a setup with virtual audio cables can get a bit messy. So EqualizerAPO for streaming and just some DAW for recording (In ASIO or WASAPI exclusive mode if possible to avoid resampling) is probably the way to go, at least out of the options I have described here. My only use case for VSTHost and virtual audio cables would really only be if youre planning to stream and record the already processed audio at its original quality at the same time.
**
If your audio is delayed because of the filters, instead of reducing the length and therefore quality, you could use a negative delay in your streaming software to compensate.
I didn't really have time to get into everything here, so I am just going to put out there that, if you're interested, I'd be happy to share my two cents (huehue) and more details / ideas with you personally.
P.S.: As much as anything, audio is quite the ******* rabbithole and sometimes theres no clear right and wrong, so I'm glad that youre open to input and like to share the learning process with us. That is also what makes me more comfortable to share my ideas despite me not being a professional, also simply because there's no guarantee someone with any authority concerning this stuff will.
@c76
DAMN SON THIS COMMENT IS 5 1/2 SCREENS LONG on my phone.
You in love with this subject?
I’m curious why are you saying use a compressor with look ahead is going to he useless when live-streaming since a comp won’t be able to look in the future.
Also putting the interface to max gain makes no sense you put an interface gain to a little bit more then level you wanted in the mix in or what ever. This is so you have a bit of headroom. Increasing the gain to max will become a hard clipping hazard and also an easy way to increase noise which wouldn’t be there if your gain was lower.
If noise is not a problem why would you ever apply noise removal?
@@BoboButYouCanCallMeTom A lookahead compressor delays the audio stream by the amount of time it is "looking ahead". It's not predicting the future, just delaying the audio by a few milliseconds to be able to attack before the event that triggers it. In streaming software you can then delay the video stream to be back in sync with the now delayed audio. We're talking maybe 200 milliseconds here, plenty (more than we can handle) for your audio and video to be out of sync by, but not much when just converted into additional stream delay. If you're in a DAW manipulating tracks, the lookahead doesn't matter because it's not realtime, it'll just compensate and prerender it as it already has access to all of the audio material from start to finish and can just start a few milliseconds early.
It's true that putting the interface to max gain is aggressive. But from my experience with the Sennheiser MD-421 together with the Focusrite Scarlett, it's pretty hard to clip a dynamic microphone at a distance of ~20cm, I can only do it if I basically ingest it.
So if the gain is not a problem, why not set it to the max if youre calibrating something that depends on the gain not changing, ever, so that you can't put your calibration efforts to waste by setting it to a different gain by accident later. I feel like max gain would be easiest to remember and easiest to replicate consistently. Try to set your gain to exactly -24.0db on Focusrite Scarlett devices, its not really possible with those knobs. That way you still get to touch the knob for projects where that specific signal chain is not being used and not have to set things up again once youre back to normal.
And as far as noise reduction is concerned: If you need to add a lot of gain because you're using a dynamic microphone, you're gonna add a lot of noise from the amplifier in the interface in the process. To filter that, and just that, out is the point of the noise removal strategy i proposed.
So if your noise removal is so non-intrusive that you can't hear the noise anymore, but there are basically no (pre- and postringing) artifacts either, why use a gate filter which might cut off parts of speech if set up incorrectly or lead to some weird effects if someone is talking in the background, far away from the microphone?
I hope that clarifies my rationale behind those decisions.
@@larryfoster423 Lol. "I have compiled a list of things I'd like to know..." Riiiight.
Those samples and effects sound like something I'd get tons of enjoyment out of. I'll keep this in mind if I ever end up investing in audio stuff like this.
Also good on you for admitting your mistake, Jay! Keep on being awesome! :D
Thank you for setting such a good example of being willing to admit you were wrong and learning from it! And so glad you managed to get it sounding how you wanted! :-)
Hey Jay, if you hear some clipping, your input signal might be to high. Set the gain to about that point where the signal meter hits - 6 dB peak. Cheers mate :)
I really dig the GoXLR cut-out effect in the video. That is pretty epic 👍 Also, I really want a GoXLR 🙌
One of the reasons why you are my favourite RUclipsr. Humility at its best. Keep up the good work, Jay. You've got a fan from Malaysia.
glad to see the turnaround on this haha - Jay only thing I would tweak about the sound: I wouldn't boost in the lows like you are. If you had a subwoofer to monitor your voice, you'd be like "wow this is too much". Maybe just set a highpass filter with a cutoff of anywhere from 80-120hZ, just to make sure you're not rockin anyone's trunk with your narration lol - cheers!
As someone who’s set up audio for a living, I’m so glad you made this video. There’s definitely other preamps that would give you a better sound, but they also wouldn’t have the built in stream deck like features the GoXLR has. Seeing how you’re using it shows that it’s really the best for your use case, and let’s be honest. The motorized sliders are the absolute coolest thing ever.
Flying faders .... Should see professional consoles with 30+ of those things zipping around!
Yeah, those have been a thing since 1993 or so. I'm a sound engineer and I learned on a NEVE with flying faders. Glorious thing. Can't say the same about the Mitsubishi 48-track DASH tape recorder in use with it...LOL!
That’s one of my favorite things
@@Nostaljack was it a Swiftmix automation module? The API I used had automated faders attached to both the DAW and it's own controller and it's cool.
@@yeseldiaz3453 It was the 1994 Neve so I don't think Swift Mix modules were around then. Still, a pleasure to use. Likely as it aged, it wasn't anymore and I haven't been back to the studio I learned in since early '95. We also had an API from ages ago and an SSL from some time in the late '70's/early '80's. I spent the most time with the SSL. No flying faders but excellent mixer with better sound than I was told it'd have. Both the API and SSL were hooked up to 24-track Studers that were just beautiful to use.
I'm glad you got your mic situation figured out, the mic doesn't go to waste and you finally get to enjoy it properly, and of course to have fun with it. The Go XLR was a good purchase too.

Utterly refreshing to see someone admit they previously got it wrong and is willing to learn something new.
The world needs more of that. Too many people stick to their guns regardless of incontrovertible evidence. To see someone not only admit their mistake, actually say they were wrong, but to then teach the rest of us what they learned... priceless. Nothing but kudos and respect. You have gone up in my estimation.
I know its just a review about a mic and mixer but it leaves me yearning for more of this from our 'fearless leaders' and our citizenry.
Brother this is why I watch every upload you make. Big respect I appreciate all you put into the videos and the channel, keep it up man.
As an music engineer with a degree I wish I was a streamer so I could play with this.
I cant hear the word "ignorant" without hearing the South Park Michael Jackson.
Ignant!
Ah hee hee
SAME
ALLEGEDLY!
That's so ingorant.....
Jay, thank you for helping me decide on the microphone and audio setup I want. I appreciate this video a lot, brother.
Getting mine soon I love the GOXLR its amazing
9:56 that one mosquito that constantly follows you every day
🤣🤣🤣🤣
0:00 Im making this my lockscreen xD
Thanks Jay, we appreciate the honesty and love to see you learn something new! That GoXLR is awesome
Could be my EQ on my headphones but did he sound really bassy?
yesssss he listened!!! SO HAPPY you did. the GoXLR is amazing
Just to remind everyone before they get the mini it doesn't come with a de-esser
Also has only 6 EQ bands
So?
Mini is sold out everywhere for the next two months... why??? 😭 lol... yeah, just gotta wait for restocking. Even Amazon is out.
"All the typical immature stuff you would expect from me" That's why we love ya dude, I nearly p%%%%% myself when I saw you're I fix it add....so funny, made my day.
Glad you found the sound that makes you happy, Jay.
wow that mic sounds amazing. The warms are so much nicer than I thought
3:56, Sound so crips, You got yourself a warm sounding mic LOL
Meh, I think it sounds more blood than crip.
Andrew Riley LOL
When student becomes the master
Much respect to a someone, especially a huge Tech RUclipsr that can admit he was wrong, and fix it and now have exactly what he wants. Good job man
I thank you for the help because I want to get into making youtube gaming content and streaming but really didn't know where to go next or what to use for just starting out with a budget.
7:50 drop your mic level down 2 notches. Mic is too hot.... CORRECTION too much bass 🤦♂️
"Counter Strike: GO, I was playing the other day"
yayyyy so glad you seen the light! audio has alot that goes into it !
Jay, This should help if you don't know this already.
Say your music is coming from an app like Spotify etc. But you don't want to drown your game/desktop audio out.
If you wanted you can actually tell windows to feed Spotify/music app through the 'music stream' fader of the GOXLR.
By doing that you can separate your system sounds and your music! Allowing you to control each with their own faders.
To do so:
1. Go down to your sound icon on the taskbar.
2. Right click and choose 'Open Sound Settings'
3. Down the bottom under 'Advanced sound options' Click on 'App volume and device properties'
Now, whatever apps you have open. You can send those sounds to whatever channels you want :)
Glad to see you got it all working in the end.
the internet is always right jay...now im off to take my daily dose of bleach to stay virus free
And I'm here recording classes to my students on a 20$ USB mic.
do the best with bare minimum. :)
I use an XM-8500 it’s a great mic let alone being a great mic for the price. The part where it gets more expensive though is getting a decent enough sound card which will support an XLR input.
Great suggestions, guys. Btw, I should also start editing some videos cuz I teach literature. Thx
@@bentosan Use the Behringer UMC202 and you can get the a fairly inexpensive XLR input to a PC. You can also use a Pyle XLR-USB adapter; www.amazon.com/Pyle-Microphone-XLR-Signal-Adapter/dp/B07MTGT27G. Because I need to input other audio channels, I have a Behringer Xenyx 802 mixer and can connect 2 mics and a couple other stereo sources. I pair that with a Behringer UCA200 to get the audio into the PC.
@@nosbig98 He's recording a lecture, not an album.
This is a beautiful piece of hardware it's simplified and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
That seems to work rather well. Thanks Jay!
Was a DBX 286s ever recommended prior to the Go XLR?
The DBX 286s is far superior to the go XLR in my opinion since it has hardware compression and really nice hardware compression at that
I did and a few others, but I also recommended not buying anything new.
DBX is a lot better than the Go XLR, but it's a little too late now I suppose.
I was going to say there are a lot of better options that give you much better quality than a goxlr, but really it's just meant for streamers with the pads and cheap vfx, and don't want to go in and tweak things to make their natural voice sound good. I dislike this little dumb box but I totally understand why it exists
I was wondering why the mic setup still sounded like shit, then I saw the EQ
As always you give us great content! Thank you Jay, You rock! Also, thanks again because I actually learned something too lol.
I have one arriving Friday and I am absolutely stoked! Using the Rode Podmic, but I may switch to the SM7B eventually. Glad you’re enjoying it!
Jay, you sound like one of those XM/Sirius Radio show hosts! It's still your voice but it's just... weird for me.
All these tech wizards don't know you can set keybindings to deafen discord smh my head
To be fair I would probably prefer this route over hotkeying mute which is what I do now.
Reason being is the obnoxious notification that discord makes and mid stream or recording that is a pain in the ass and really let's face it a Orion on the sound board isn't much different than a hotkey.
Jayz thats why we love you....if you do something wrong you coming up with your mistake and you are honest.
4:00 That silky and deep voice.
Great audio setup, Jay!
