      it doesnt matter abt that just use a sound compresser aka noice cancelation app and dont think it will mess up your audio almost every streamer uses a noice compresser so yeah hope it helped.

    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!

    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.

      Dude, that is my EXACT situation. Except I haven't found the right mic, till maybe today.
      ARE you using Expander and Compressor in OBS? Limiter?

    • @bobby5enpai
      @bobby5enpai Месяц 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.

    What do you think about the HyperX Quadcast VS Rode PodMic? Considering the pricing is similar but USB vs XLR. I currently have a Wave:3 USB but I don't like it anymore and believe it has lost its' full function.

    • @frantotti9754

      Rode PodMic all day, No way to compare these Mics. HyperX Quadcast is just gaming mic not for professionals, Rode is known well in audio headphones and microphones, HyperX is just gaming gears company. the difference is huge .

      I kept from doing a recommendation and leaving it open ended as it was more of a first impression. I need to do some more testing with it, but out of box, I like the way it sounds. 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
