@@crea7e If you're looking for something good - blue snowball. Only thing is it's very sensitive so it will pick up your keyboard and stuff. Make sure you have it somewhere close to you on your desk (mine's to the left of my keyboard), or on a boom arm. It's a really good mic though, and definitely worth the £50 or so.
When I test my audio on a mic tester, the audio is really choppy. It cuts out some of the words I'm saying and that's really annoying. I'm not sure why it does this.
I read in the comments that if you're struggling with the A1 hardware switch from the WDM Cable to the MME Cable. I tried it myself and it worked for me :)
i clicked on this just to see what tools you used and i don't regret it. i did need some sort of software that acts like the ones you used here (create a virtual audio input where you could stack effects on it like a sound card).
fortnite man there’s an app called VB banana and you will need VB audio and VB cable . There’s a vid on RUclips that explains it better but makes it sound not so bad. Only thing it’s a bit complicated to set up, at least for me but maybe you’ll have luck with it.
9to5, TYSM for this it rlly improved my mic, i was wondering if u could send us a download of the exact microphone settings that you have? otherwise awesome guide.
Just tried this and took it for a spin in Audacity (I have a Razer Kraken too) and my audio was cutting out every other split second, made the audio sound very choppy and was no good
This video helped a bunch! Have the Razer Barracuda X and my friends noticed the mic quality change instantly in party chat. So yes, it does work on wireless gaming headsets. Definitely will direct anyone and everyone to this video if I hear bad mic quality while gaming lol
holycrap i confuse now i think this vid should be longer a little bit for a closing setting or some information that we need, after i follow your tutorial somehow my mic doesnt work XD
It sounded great in the voice meter app but outside the app, the mic was very choppy and cutting out. I tried to fix it for over an hour and looked through every forum but nothing worked. I had to uninstall it. Did anyone else have a similar issue and did you find a solution?
Idk if you know about this issue, but I tried it, and at the start it worked perfectly fine, but later on my friends told me that my voice was "skipping"/"clipping"; as if an on and off button was going off repeatedly in my mic. I thought it was the noise gate but it had nothing to do with it... any help please?
most recommended headset to get is ASTRO A50! i tried every headset i could get my hands on and i can tell u right now astro a50 is the best headset to be made
the voice meter I downloaded doesn't have the comp and noise setting and like the master section or the UI is completely different I don't see that little cassette tape either I'm not sure if I got the right one..???

So I've followed this here. Testing through VoiceMeeter Banana sounds pretty good. However when I use it in Discord, with the "CABLE output" as input device, it cuts out all the time. Already set input sensitivity to 0, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. Messing around with the noise gate doesn't change anything either. Any thoughts?
This helped out so much, my friends now can hear me well without hearing my desk wiggling thanks lel. It only works if the app is open just saying i might help out others.
Hope you reply i wonder if i can use it while im streaming throw my Streamlabs OBS or my Normal OBS and other thin do i need to have the software open while im streaming thk for any reply buddy
basically, yes! You can use this for everything. Just change your mic in OBS to the VoiceMeter (whatever version you have) to the mic. Just find the setting like (system tray) or something and it will run in the background with everything else without you noticing it. Maybe there will be some delay, but that can be fixed in obs itself!

One question, do you need to keep the app inorder for the settings to stay? Or will it remain if I uninstall it?
@@kaustubhsardesai6964 It is actively manipulation the audio stream. With deinstalling, you will loose you're settings.

Headset microphones have greatly improved. They used to use electret condensers, now they use MEMS and lower voltages. They can be a little harsh on the high end, but that is easy to EQ.

One thing I noticed using this, voice has a slight delay when you're talking in discord
