    Dude... Top quality tutorial here. This EQ and your how to, was perfect! We're just starting to stream our clothing print on demand business, so I have to walk around our shop and run our printers. But my Bluetooth headset sounded so thin and tiny on our KZread streams, I was embarrassed and trying to find a better headset. But I did EXACTLY what you had for each band setting, and it made a tiny but noticeable difference. So I kept bumping all the db settings up by 3 each time and around +12 db for 1 band and -9db for 2 band and so forth, the mic sounded SO MUCH BETTER!!! I'm very happy and everyone with OBS should watch this tutorial of yours to make their mic sound much much better.

    It's funny to me as to my ears I don't hear a lot of harsh sibilance but I know my headphones have a fairly flat response curve in that zone. Audio engineering is such a subjective act at times as I only have so many headphones I can check for different sounds on. But in the future I'll try to watch that zone a more carefully to make sure there is no harshness there 👍

You would have to do a test of your audio to see if you can still hear it and how it compares to your voice. If you are hearing too much, you could also add a very narrow cut right at that 70hz range to help drop more of that noise off.

    Dr. Psychosis, first I'm glad you liked the video and I appreciate the vote of confidence! :) Secondly, to answer your question: The first EQ that I use alter my vocal frequencies without altering the core of the audio signal coming in. this way before I do any high pass (HP) or low pass (LP) filters, I can make sure I like how my voice sounds. Once I've done all of that I like to then send that signal into a roll off EQ filter that applies those HP and LP filters. On the first EQ, I start to bring up my high end Hz around 5000-10000Hz as there is still a lot of vocal sound from 10kHz-20kHz. But, I want to roll off starting around 18kHz with a LP to bring down any super high pitch ringing that my mic can pick up and transmit to the content that I can't hear. The main area I want to bring out and brighten is the 5000Hz-18kHz range. everything above that for voices is just noise really. So applying this boost before I roll off ensures that I'm brighten the area I want without ALSO brightening that super high pitched hiss and squeals. Also, I use a second EQ as I find it easier to manage from a book keeping perspective. you could also just add 2 more bands to the first EQ and apply a LP and HP filter right there. Just 2 different ways to achieve the same effect is all. Hope this helps bud and feel free to ask if you need any more clarification :)

    You could try doing a very selective EQ subtraction. Basically take a very narrow band and boost it by like 12 to 15db and listen for frequency ranges that amplify that echo. Once found switch from that boost to a -4db or so cut to try and pull some of that sound out of your stream mix! I hope this helps bud!

    Thank you for the overview! For the example you are showing at 8:30 it implies that you actually hear what is currently recorded. But I don't. I mean I could move it a tiny bit, record it and listen to it (or something like that) but that would actually be much more effort than to just listen to it live. Am I assuming correct that you listen to it life? And if yes, how would you enable that? Don't see any option in the EQ or OBS to do that. I mean its possible in windows I guess but then It would probably bypass the EQ.

    Still a super easy and amazing guide to follow! As a complete noob though I have to ask, I'll still need to set up a noise suppression filter/noise gate and limiter to get rid of background noise like my keyboard and other noises right? I know you said that the second EQ was supposed to remove those but I'm still having background noise appear. What would you recommend?

  • @PlentyAZach

    @PlentyAZach

    6 ай бұрын

    Hey Horsaz! So think of EQing as a way to color in a coloring book picture. the overall content of your audio is there, all you are doing is shaping it by adding and removing some colors. the rolloffs are more for very low hum and high pitch noise, keyboard clicks are unfortunate not going to be completely removed. so some things that can help are: - Adding a noise suppression filter as the first choice, I have a video detailing different noise suppression methods, but TL;DR any of them will work, just depends on what you like best, they them out and see what you like :) - after I get to the EQ is generally where I'd put a noise gate/expander. I use reagate from the makers of the software in this video. I use attack 1ms, hold 500ms, release 600ms, gate of -40db. adjust these to what you might like but that will eliminate a lot of the quiet sounds. - You could also try using a quieter keyboard, I use oil king black switches that don't have any click other than the bottom out of the key. if you are using really clicky keys, they will always be heard. that's not a bad thing either just depends on what you are going for :) but any none clicky key would work at reducing this sound. Hope this helps bud! :)

    This EQ stuff is DEEP magic. I tried playing around on my own based on that chart, and it either sounded bad or didn't have an effect. Then, when I copied exactly what you had, it worked slightly better than without it. For sure, I'm not tuning for my own voice, yet, but \_O_/ it's still too hard to grok.

    Crazy, you are correct, I forgot to take that part out when I was going through the video! That mistake was fully on me there, I don't have a video yet but I'm currently making an updated 2023 video for every type of filter I would recommend for content creators but it'll take me a bit to shot and edit all of that. In the mean time I'd recommend trying this: Set up a multiband compressor, turn off all bands except for the 3rd band ( or really any of the ones in the middle). Make sure there is no auto-gain make up enabled. From there, make the remaining band's top frequency around 9500Hz, put the band in front of that one to like 7500Hz (so band 3 enabled, 9500Hz, band 2 disabled, 7500Hz) This will make the 3rd enabled band cover the frequency range of 7500Hz - 9500Hz which is generally where the Sibilance is. From there, set a ratio to 3:1 or 4:1 (personal preference) and set the threshold to around -20dB to start. set the threshold to a more negative number if you want more compression on your Sibilance (be careful as too much will give you an artificial lisp as it'll cut way to much of the S sound). Hopefully , that makes sense, and I'm using the Reaper mutiband compressor to do this. if you already installed the filters from this video you'll have it, it's called "REAXComp" in the Vst folder :)

    Hi. Are these settings good for podcast on a condensor mic like the Rode NT2a? I have high pass filter on mic. So, could i simply add the number 6 band for the 16k hertz frequency without adding a second equalizer? Or can i use the noise suppression for the 17k hertz instead a second EQ? :)

    these settings could work for podcasting on a condenser mic as that's actually the way I use my condensor mic. You'll have to tune the settings for your voice but it'd be a solid starting point in my eyes. as for the HPF, you could add another band and just apply the HPF to the same EQ if you wanted to. I separated mine into two for book keeping really haha it's really up to you no harm in it either way really.

    Hey Jenks, you absolutly could do the rolloffs in the same EQ as the rest of them. It was more to just show that you can have seperate EQs and they would all still work together. It also made it a bit easier to visualize it I thought when showing it off here. But you can do either with very little to no effect on the sound :D Hope that helps!

    main thing I can think of is to make sure that obs is selecting the correct mic in the properties. I know sometimes it can change and grab another mic on the pc that isn't the right one. other issues could be that the filter isn't actually turned on. past that without seeing your setup I'm not sure what else it could be other than maybe the filter is on the wrong source?

    using EQ to cut out the background noise probably isn't the way you want to go as it will heavily cut into the quality of your voice. If you have an RTX Nvidia GPU I'd use RTX voice to help cut your background noise, or if not, another type of noise suppression plugin. This would give you the best quality voice without any extra money or the use of a headset.

    use expander instead of gate, it can lower the sounds under the threshold instead of completely cut them out.
