      Hello, sorry for bothering. I have a question - I record with OBS, my mic is headset Marvo HG 8935. When I record, I hear some hissing, like.. high frequencies. Not too loud, but I hear it. I tried to record with any filter, with or without them, even in Audacity I can hear that. Maybe you help me?
      P.S. I noticed, this hissing comes with any mic.

      @@IzzyMojica well, i think i'm bit late XD
      When you open Advanced Audio Propeties, you see all to the right the "Tracks", you have to put in different tracks your mic and whatever you want to record, Example: My microphone is in Track 1 and the videogame is in Track 2, so if something from Windows pop up with a sound, its never going to add to the Record.
      Other important things is, in "Source" i put "Application Audio Capture (BETA)" and there you can select what audio you wanna record, a video for Chrome, music for any music player or a specific game, again in "Advanced Audio Properties" uncheck all other Tracks and check only 2 or depends on you, more tracks but never the same as the other, like i said before: my microphone is in Track 1 and ONLY in Track 1, the other ones are uncheck and for videogame in Track 2 and only in Track 2.
      For last: in Settings for OBS, Output, don't forget check the Audio Track numbers you are using

    I would like to add that you should use a noise gate if your mic picks up your ac or pc fan in the background. I have a blie yeti condenser mic and instead of using the noise suppression i used a noise gate instead which sounded a lot better for voice quality.

These settings did improve my mic sound but I'm looking for something that might boost me a bit more. I tried SteelSeries Sonar which did make me sound even better and it allowed me to segment my audio to turn down if my game was too loud and so on but I had trouble with it. Could you do a video on how to setup Sonar too? All the other videos I've found don't help much.

    Could you do a video because I cannot find one anywhere and not much online helps either but I can cut out the background noise when I am not talking but if I'm speaking it will pick up all sorts of things especially my keyboard or my desk and it only does it when I speak. Also on how to fix it cutting off words when I start speaking especially if it starts with an s or an H. I think if you made a video on how to fix these things especially the keyboard clicks when you're speaking because every video I've seen it just does it when you're not speaking but the problem and I I see online having it picks it up while we're speaking and you'd be one of you or only videos that would have one on how to fix this issue

  • @abbeykgaming
    @abbeykgaming 8 месяцев назад +1

    great video!
    I followed your guide exactly. I noticed I don't have a 3 band eq filter for some reason. Also, any reason why you don't use noise gate? That was the only filter i was using before.
    So, i followed all of this and stayed pretty close to your numbers. In the end my voice sounded slightly under water. There was a faint hum in the background when i spoke but would cut out when i stopped speaking. Like the threshold was working, but almost too noticeably. One by one i deleted filters. When I got down to only noise gate and compression everything sounded great. I'd like to play with the settings of each filter but i'm so worried about fixing something that isn't broken.
    Anyways, for what it's worth, the compression was a great addition. it should cut down on audio adjustments during editing. Thanks!

    • @Chiselchip
      @Chiselchip  8 месяцев назад +1

      Glad it was helpful! And yes the thing to do would be to play around with the thresholds... the "Underwater" sound is an indicator that it is working a little to intensely for your voice frequency! As for the noise gate, I just like more how the Noise Suppression works a little better and a little more subtle in my opinion :) Glad you've found something that works for you, it's definitely very dependent on your voice as well as the mic you're using!

    I do recall at some point hearing myself (with delay that comes from the processing), but now I cant find whatever I did. I know Im a ludite with things but still...seems like this should be a more basic function that I just cant find.

      Good questions and maybe I didn't speak to that much in the video, but the reason for that is so that when I have other scenes selected that it won't pick up my mic.

      the OP used the noise suppression filter over the noise gate filter. you can tailor the background noise more with a noise gate, but the suppression is an overall easy fix, just not perfect.

    @rebeccac7293 4 месяца назад

    Hopefully, someone can help. I was using a different software program, and it just wasn't working out, so I searched for other options and found this video. I've downloaded OBS and followed all of the steps in the video, but there's an issue. I currently have two microphones hooked up. Both are recognized and assigned in the Audio Mixer field. However, when I talk into my microphone, I'm being picked up on the other microphone across the large table. My microphone meter moves, but on the playback of the file, you can tell that it's not from my mic, it sounds like it's from a distance. I then went over to the other mic and started recording and then played that file, and it's close, crisp, and clear, so that microphone is picking up whomever sits in front of it. I then went back over to my microphone and in the audio mixer area of OBS I muted the other microphone across the large table, recorded a test file, played it, and this time it picked me up on my microphone. Why won't my microphone pick me up when another is plugged in? Any help is appreciated.

I test recorded it but for some reason whenever I put it inside of filmora to edit it, I play the video in the track theirs no audio. i tried searching an option and tweaking with the Audio track and their are like 5 different tracks i tried, They do not detect any sound. Idk if this is a filmora issue or what, but i really need some help. I've been having issues with Recording and my game audio is overlapping my mic audio so i tried seperating the two, but Filmora wont put in two seperate sources.
