    Thank you for doing a review on this mic. I've been having trouble finding a good mic for like the last 8 months and watching your video kinda gave me an idea on this mic and I bought it and it's the best and easiest mic to setup I've ever had. Very good sound. I probably wouldn't have been able to find this without you. Thank you very much again!

    The first streaming mic I got was 2 years ago in 2022 when I was still 17 at the time and ofc it was the quadcast s, and I was new to pc streaming so ofc I had to get myself a mic and I saw it at my local target but I bought it on Best Buy online instead cuz I have a membership, and I did not know this mic was that popular back then, I feel cool that I got this mic, I still stream with it till this day and it works like a beauty

      @@chris935 It's been awhile since you asked but just in case you haven't found one, Nvidia Broadcast works pretty well and it's free. It can also be used to cancel out background noise from other people's mics if they're not using any noise cancellation on their end. I don't really use that feature since I usually only talk to people in Discord and they use the built in Krisp noise cancellation but it's nice to have if you ever run into someone with an excessively noisy mic.

    Hello, might be really stupid question for you, but I am still pretty new to this.
    I have bought this mic because I want to take creating content to next level, I am starting a podcast, but I wanted to solely use either my phone or camera. Does it mean now, that I cant really connect my phone or camera to the mic? Should I have bought something which has bluetooth or wireless connection? is there anything like that? How do you do it? Do you record sound on one gadget and video on the other one and then you just synchronize it?
    I really appreciate your time and I will be forever grateful for you (or anyones) answer as I feel little bit lost atm! :D
    Thanks so much and have a good day!

      most people record audio with one device and record video with another and then sync it up post recording, an easy way to do this is to clap you hands 3 times infront of the camera and then sync the audio in a video editing program. good luck!

I think the Wave 3 offers more options for the same price with their software, so I’d recommend that just from a software point of view

    The 3 mic texts, the elgato sounded like it captured the T's and D's of your words more, while the rode mic sounded like it took away more of the natural sound in your voice. Not to say hyperx didn't have its hit and misses, if you consider them that. It was a weird combination. In some of the settings like stereo, it sounded like it took away the natural sound away more, while when front faced it did capture your T's and D's more prominently than rode, it wasn't like the elgato. I use Nvidia broadcast with obs filters, to find a combination I like, and personally I find it better for me, since my voice can go low, and finding the right combination is hard when messing with suppression. I'm don't use noise gate ot suppression in obs when using Nvidia broadcast background noise removal and suppression with my quadcast s. But it works beautifully this way for me, even catching the lows 2 feet away. Just a tidbit if anyone wanted to try it.

    • @bobby5enpai
      @bobby5enpai 3 месяца назад +1

      @GregSaezer I use compressor, expander, 3-band equalizer, and the limiter filters. I had to play with thresholds and everything. By mixing up the gain on the hyperx and the output gain, I was able to get something that sounds crisp, and my lows with the equalizer sound really good, and don't chop off when I'm too low.
