That noise suppression in OBS Studio is a massive game changer for my mechanical keyboard, can hardly hear it now. Can't believe how much it helps, thanks a ton!
@@cult2 that’s right, but the jump difference is big from the mic. I ended up moving the slider manually to where it was best for me. For example, it went from 60 to 41 using the mic wheel for me
This is a great video for 2020, however, with the latest update to the Elgato Wavelink software you're likely going to need to find an update for this video. If anyone has a recommendation please leave it in a reply.
I had never heard of RTX Voice before - this is going to be a game changer for sertting up my Wave 3. I've used a Blue Yeti and Voicemeeter for 3 years, and love the amount of control. Now my Yeti is finally crapping out...I'm pretty impressed with Elgato's features; they definitely kept streamers in mind. I own a streamdeck, so that's another plus. But the ONE thing I was worried about was no built in noise gate. So glad I found this video.
Be careful with the blue compass arm for this mic. The weight of the mic on its own is barely enough to counter the tension of the boom arm. The setup shown in your video is the basically the most bend I could get from the boom arm without adding additional weight. The Rode PSA1 is probably a better match for this mic.
@@TheProvokedPrawn I tried adjusting the tension screw to its absolute lowest before the screw itself came off and even that wasn't enough. I recently exchanged the Blue Compass for the Rode PSA1 and luckily the tension is just right for the lightness of the Wave 3. It's possible other's have had different experiences but this was mine.
Does the discord noise suppresion remove keyboard clicks well? I’m looking into buying a microphone but I am too scared of the suppresion not removing my keyboard clicks
So my issue with this mic is that it keeps picking up the sound from my astro a50 headset as I am playing. Is there anyway I can fix this issue without having to lower my headset volume?
One thing that might help if you have an RTX 20/ 30 series graphics card is if you download and use the Nvidia broadcast app. It's a magical piece of software that removes almost all background noise from your mic by using some of the power of your graphics card to process the noise. It could definitely help remove your headset noise since it removes noise from an old janky fan of mine.
@@productofginger I found that NVIDIA Broadcast demanded at least 15-30% of my GPU with Noise Suppression active. Did you have the same issue? My stream struggles to render my frames whenever I use it, regardless of game graphical settings.
@@productofginger I use it because my fans are loud but it applies to everything, including Spotify for example so I can’t use the wave 3 software with Spotify or the songs are muffled
even though I have a 3070 the voice thing is not working for me which is fine. In stream labs when I turn the noise reduction on the fan noise is gone but my keyboard is still quiet in the background which is pretty good. The only issue is that when I make Higher pitched or louder noises it all gets cut out. So if i screamed in a horror game it would just not be there. you got a fix?
So even if i turn down the Windows gain when i go to WaveLink's software it changes the Windows gain anyway. Is this supposed to happen or is there a way to fix this.
Great video as always, but the Wave 3 is horrible for any kind of post-processing. I find the wave-form is very lopsided, most of it above the mid-line -- which totally screws-up the way "normalize" or compression should work. I thought mine was defective, so I returned it for another one, and it was the same. There's a reason they sell if got streaming, not recording.
@@TheProvokedPrawn Thanks for the reply - I'm glad it's not "just me," as there don't seem to be a lot of comments about how the Wave 3 works outside of streaming.
4 me it is the Computer. My pc is based on airflow. I myself couldnt care less. But my yt videos are always bad in sound becase the wave 3 literally picks up every bit of noise
the wave link dial is now completly tied to the windows slider for gain so the beginning of this video is now kinda useless because of one of the newest updates
Hello I got a question is it an good idea to have the gain at 30% and low cut filter on what does lowcut filter do? Does low cut filter affect our voices or no
i have putted the gain all the way down to 25 % i can still hear myu keyboard cause its right next to the mic and also i can barely hear my noise . its recommended the mic to be excatly next to the mouth and not on the desk like 0.5 meters away from you?
Could you use set the Wave 3 Monitor to RTX voice, then set the RTX voice to a Stem for the Wave Link and mute the Wave 3 stream, so you get the benefit of Wave 3, Clipguard, Wave Link software, and RTX Voice?
The way you set up RTX voice with the wave 3 bypasses the whole wave 3 software right? Like it just uses it as a mic and you'll be unable to use the channels/stream mix and play things like music through your mic channel/ playback your mic in your headset & other things like that?
@@Kzi Elgato said you could run RTX voice on the output, as in on the broadcast mix that you then use in OBS but then that noise cancels all the audio, not just your mic.
anyone else having issues with RTX Voice i load it up and it constantly crashes i wanted to go back to it after trying Nvidia Broadcast for a few months but found it to be terrible
Tried to set up the RTXVoice exactly like this on my Wave 3. The issue I'm having is capturing my game, music & chat. When I add an aux, it captures my voice twice. Works fine when I bypass RTXVoice but you can hear everything. Was using RTXVoice on my Yeti since launch. Was really hoping to get it working with the Wave 3 :(
Wavelink and RTX voice are definitely compatible. I have it set up with my wave:3. Elgato even have this link help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045220631-Wave-Link-Using-Wave-and-Wave-Link-with-NVIDIA-RTX-Voice about how to set it up.
Just make sure you mute your wave:3 mic from both the monitor and stream mix. Your mic will still capture audio but through RTX voice and only the RTX audio input will be heard by your stream mix.
My wavelink gain messed up yesteday and seems to be broken. At 1:54 in your video, I have my Mic In set to 0% and I still hear my keyboard typing and regular background noise. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
@@TheProvokedPrawn Thanks for taking the time to respond! The dial seems to be same settings as that as when I change the mic level from 100-0 my dial does the same. Very perplexing.
@@TheProvokedPrawn yea so I’m playing rogue company I see it come up in the windows app volume settings but when I move the dial up and down on the game input in wave link I don’t hear the volume changing in my headphones or the stream when I switch to that mix in wave link .. the dials are not doing anything 😞
@@TheProvokedPrawn so I figured out how to link the inputs to chrome and all the apps I want to use but if I close out of chrome and open it back up it resets and you have to link it all over again in order to control the mix again?

@The Provoked Prawn i got my delivered to me yesterday and ive been messing around with it watching alot of videos on how to make the mic sound better and how to use the software. when you were talking about rtx i put rtx voice on but it cut out my game sound for fortnite. Do i have to do something through the app volume and device preferences? or no? In the wavelink software my mic is coming through the wave 3 input and the system input. Do you know why this happening? PLS REPLY bc i want to stream but i dont want to sound like shiiit And in streamlabs its also coming through the wave link stream and the mic but i only want it to come out of the mic. did i do something wrong. if so can you help
Heyy Provoked in the outputs in the wavelink software i put on rtx on but then i took it off. But when i press onto the stream mix it sound like the rtx is still on then i put it back onto the monitor mix and it sounds way different there's more background sound. And i tested both of the outputs out by clapping in front of the mic and the stream mix sounds way better. Did i do something wrong? Pls reply back and help AND ALSO I HAVE A ARCTIS 7 STEEL SERIES WIRELESS HEADSET IF THAT HELPS WITH ANYTHING
Apparently using RTX voice fan cause issues if you're applying it in certain ways as it'll apply noise cancellation to everything, not just the mic. So you might have to abandon that if you're streaming. The best thing to do is to use a boomarm and set the mic gain as low as possible.
Heyy man!! Thanks for the vid!!! I have a question tho. I live in a small apartment, so when my gf is watching tv you can hear it very good true the m,ic, also if im typinh its very loud... I tried everything, I put some filters into OBS and tried the Windows 10 settings. But its still not working :(. Also yesterday I tried it out for the first time and tried to talk with my friends true the game audio but the couldnt hear me, only a weird sound.. I fixt that but its weird that the bacround noice is still so loud. I hope you can help me
You probably need to get the mic closer to you and set the gain lower. It picks up a lot of background noise otherwise. A fists distance from your mouse and something like 20 gain might help keep noise out. As for in-game VOIP, you'd probably need to check the games settings, maybe it's trying to use another microphone?
I just can't get it right. Whenever i play a videogame and recording that game. I listen it back and the noise with the keyboard and mouse clicks are horrible. Can't suppres that. Any one can help me out with that?? what am i doing wrong
