    Wow.... I've seen at least XX number of different tuts on "best mic settings for OBS" over the past few years, and FINALLY there's one where you explain everything why it's like that, why it needs to be at those values/levels, what they do and why it's useful to have them. It all made sense and understandable to so many of us mortals, and it's all so easily explained and straight-forward! No bs and crap. Big thanks for both the TDR Nova EQ + LoudMax plugin tips! Such underrated plugins, much like you and your channel is! Also, big PROPS for not using background music throughout your tut as well! Definitely liked and subbed! One of the most underrated vids and tuts I've come across on YT. Bloody well done, mister. Have a good one. :)

Appreciate your message though, and Thanks for checking out the Vid/Channel 🔥

    Oooh, gonna take a few watches of this one, I feel like this will be INVALUABLE advice ^_^ only question I have is, how much different would this advice/settings be for a headset microphone? I'm running an Audio-Technica BPHS1 headset mic, which is fantastic quality but obviously struggles a bit to match traditional microphones, and I wasn't sure how certain settings would be different for a microphone like this? :)

    Its pretty standard "microphone" advice So I assume most of it would carry over quite well.. EQ would defo need tweaking though, As well as figuring out a good mic position... I know headset mics can often have a TON of plosives becsuse of how close to your mouth they are I should really do a full "Headset Mic" deep dive video and figure out what would work best for that at some point 🤔

And yeah, I have to be very careful with mic positioning - it's a careful balance between just too far away, or just slightly too close and plosives being a big issue. If you want to do a full headset mic deep dive that would be amazing

    Oh! The boom arm is the elgato Low profile arm! elgato.sjv.io/Owl-WhiteLP & Filtering out loud keyboard sounds is hard..🙃 Using audio supression can help a bit but the easiest way is get the mic as close to you as possible and turn the gain down so the background noise seems quieter than your voice... That's why it's always better to have quieter switches for streaming 😅

    If that's your ONLY options.. I'd choose the Wave 3.. Podmic is a great mic BUT The Fifine mixer doesn't have that much audio control, no software & barely has enough power for the Podmic so might sound a bit "Hissy" or noisy at the correct volume.. The Wave 3 on the other hand might let in a little bit more background noise (easily fixed with filters) But you get the Elgato "wavelink" software which is honestly amazing for controlling all your audio when live streaming or just generally using your PC etc & it can be plugged into USB phones/Tablets to record audio too

    There aren't TOO many good "Mixers" in the $60 range.. Good enough for fifine, tonor, maono entry level mics but you'll have to upgrade pretty quickly as soon as you want anything better than that.. So id still go for the Wave 3 mic for now... or even check out the new "Wave Neo" which might be a good cheaper option too if you are really on a budget.. Same microphone/audio quality as the Wave 3 it just lacks a physical gain dial on the front so you control it via software - elgato.sjv.io/Neowl & if you do pick anything up from the elgato store, throw in my code ZZ-NIGHTOWL and you'll get 5% off

    3 ways... 4 technically 1 microphone type- . A dynamic mic will help avoid background sound like keyboards more than a condenser mic 2 microphone position - Get it as close to your mouth as you comfortably can Then turn the gain down, itll make BG sounds less noticable and position the keyboard behind the microphone not below or infront of it 3 noise supression- Using noise supression filters will help filter out any keyboard clicks left once you do the first 2 things.. However all of this advice can only do so much if you've got a loud mechanical keyboard so buying a quieter board will help alot
