I’d like to know more about recording in OBS for import into video editors. For example, Davinci doesn’t like my OBS recordings and after transcribe, nothing happens. Probably the way I’m recording in OBS.

showing a dead, unsupported product (GoXLR mini) should be avoided in my opinion. People could buy it thinking you use it and recommend it.

Easily the best audio tutorial I've seen on KZread ever! Love the definitions and quick, down and dirty demo. Great job Harris!

Been using a Wave-3 mic setup since Oct. 2020 and have loved it. Not only in my streams, but also for recording vocals at home.

for the filters(audio effects) to work you need to select Wave Link MicrophoneFX (Elgato Wave:3) do a quick recording and double check swapping between wave 3/micfx and play it back to check.

I really love the lighting in this video. Great job man. Looked great, especially the b-roll shots! Hope y'all have fun purchasing and setting up your mics! Been using a Wave 1 for years and I'll never go back to a headset mic.

Love this series. Really a big help as I get started.

I love these tutorials, they’re so helpful! Your explanations are concise and easy to follow, thank you!

Hey Harris! I've been watching you for a few years now, and ended up getting caught up with life and not watching much youtube at all so I've missed a lot of your videos, but I've always loved your content, and recommend it to any one trying to learn more and get into streaming/content creation. I remember when you first put out stream beats, and a couple weeks ago I looked at it again, and holy cow the amount of progress that has been made there is amazing! All that to say, thank you for what you do! I know you have helped out so many people in the industry, and I hope you keep at it for a long time to come ❤

I love the way you make complicated ideas/tasks sound easy. Keep up the good work

I'm loving this series. I also wanted to represent the remote teachers/educators that use your content to improve remote teaching. Thanks

I always send these to my friends, super useful.

Great video as always!

You're the reason why i got myself an Elgato wave 3. Thanks for helping me set it up too! Cheers!

The new intro animation you used was great, and the video was very informative overall! 🙏🏼

TY always enjoy your vids. especially mics

Thanks for another great video!!

Awesome and waiting for the wavelink tutorial. Thanks Harris

Bro that intro was super clean, god damn!

I remember i got into streaming cause of you during world shutdown 2019/20. This is the only channel I regularly come back to. Good stuff and good vibes, as always.

i LOVE the new intro omg so delish

can't wait for next video .. thanks for all yr advise

Finallyy. I thought you forgot about this series for a second.

Need more of these videos please!

What is wrong with youtube algorithm all these big tech tubers are barely breaking 10k views on alot of there videos but the quality or nothing has seemed to change in content is the algorithm just broken or somthing?

@BLUEZ

Ай бұрын

not gonna lie, when his channel blew up it was during the Fortnite Ninja phase, where people were coming to gaming just to become streamers which significantly boosted how much he was put into the algorithm. now his videos are just being pushed to niche groups of people that appreciate tech like microphones, audio setups & webcams

@truethorson

If your point is that they haven't changed then I think you should understand why the algorithm isn't picking them up as much as it used to...

Awesome tips!

Blue yeti is what I've used since 2016, people wonder how much money I dumped into a mic, and are amazed at the audio quality. And it has gone through some moving and bumps, and still doesn't show a single sign of wear or drop in audio quality. This shit was built to last, and it's the best money I've spent on any computer hardware ever. And I mainly use Logitech hardware, but this one takes the cake.

i have a hyperx quadcast, when i first got it i was never aware of how bad it sounded by default i just bought it cause it was cool looking. but after i got a new pc i realized how bad it could sound and how it was picking up my keyboard, mouse etc. so i started using steelseries gg's sonar program it was really easy to setup and now i sound crisp and it doesnt pick up keyboard sounds. (i use the deep voice preset if anyone was wondering. since my voice is deep)

4:28 is diabolical 🤣

Very interesting video. Thank you.

This thumbnail is very missleading, I clicked on the video thinking I could finally make my Quadcast S useful (very bad mic choice imo) but turns out it's yet another elgato video. Now i aint mad about an elgato video but yeah, next time include the microphone that you are actually featuring into the thumbnail instead of missleading the thumbnail.

That sounds surprisingly good for a USB mic

Harris, I think you really should’ve added some detail about using noise suppression filters as well as the compression and equalizing. The average person we don’t have a studio space a that filter, especially the RN noise filter in OBS is essential.

Finally, someone actually saying to shoot for the yellow X"D Having done media production for my major and worked as an audio engineer for live and studio for 7 years, it always irked me when people would say "don't hit the yellow, never hit yellow. Stay in green". It is so common on YT guide videos, that I almost never send YT guides to friends who are trying to setup audio anymore and I just jump on calls with them to help out XP

Mic Checked.😊🎙

oooh! nice new stinger senpai! me like

Let's all remember how much KZread crushes audio. Love your videos man. Hoping to build out a new setup at the end of the year. How would you spend 10k for a set up? Not counting PC and I mean every detail. Thank you!!

Ай бұрын

@Joshua_Uwadiae haha not a spaceship though maybe I should get elon on the phone.

Right at the start, I could tell the difference in mic quality. But I actually think the cheaper one sounds better and more natural... I use an AKG C214 for my "high-quality" needs, and a Shure SM57 (percussion microphone) for everything else. They're really cheap and sound really good.

What I need is a video about how to stop your compressor making all of the room echoes 10x more obvious. I mean, I have decent foam panels and there's no obvious echoes until I add compression.

i have the wave 3 it is the best mic i have ever had

Where are the first two videos of the series, couldnt find playlist or anything. thx

I would love to see a masterclass on how to use EQ apps like Voicemeeter Banana for example.

I have been using the Wave 3 since 2021 in all my streams and I love it. I still get asked to this day when will I buy a XLR mic? My answer is always the same I dont need it I am perfectly content and happy with the Wave 3. I love the design of it and it sounds good.

Hey. Very useful video. Thank you! Question - I’ve just got myself a Lark M2 microphone… can I add any additional software to that in order to improve quality? Like what’s used in this video? Thanks 🙏🏼

So, what equipment do you recommend for a beginner on a budget yet with decent quality?

I have a Yeti X mic but i also use a Jabra EVOLVE LINK headset and mic for streaming since my setup is a bit jank and the yeti x on the stand is a bit awkward to use. I would enjoy a tutorial on how to set these up in OBS directly with the built in filters to sound at least decent. I've done the best i could within my capabilities, however not sure it sounds good at all. I'm also partially deaf (only one functioning ear, and sometimes that single ear also has issues) so i have a hard time figuring out what sounds good or not.

you can connect your usb mic directly to the pc also with out a interface

@kirbyoui

Ай бұрын

yes

Do we have to use a device such as the Go XLR? Or would a xlr to aux cable work the same?

Do you have any recommendations to set input level using the windows interface? have a Rhode Nt-USB and find it tough to find a level that's good, seems to either be blown out or too quiet.

Hey Harris, have you seen anything on those Hercules stream 100 and 200? I just came across them and was wondering if you were planning to review them at any point?

If you do EQ in Wavelink app you need to choose Elgato Wave:3 Wavelink FX when OBS asked you about Mic In, right?

Would you still champion the BEACN mic as a fantastic best of both worlds?

I am considering swapping from the Rode Podmic to either a Elgato Wave mig or Beacn mic. But i am in doubt of getting the Beacn sound mixer or Elgato Stream deck+... Which do you prefer to control audio?

Are you gonna make one like this for XLR mics?

go xlr now has sub mixes and a dope white color for both versions can you make a video on their submixes? I have other problems with my goxlr mini but submixes seem cool.

Silencing Screams Completely Solution? I love the Elgato Noise Removal and other AI Noise Removal plugins but they silent my screams completely! My friends and viewers delight in hearing the screams so I have to do without AI Noise Removal. I use a Compressor, and my noise removal work around is using Deesgate plugin.. It's not as good but it atleast gets rid of some noise.

PLEASE look at Maono Microphones! So good! I've been using the Maono PD200X for a year and could not be happier! Also has accompanying software (Which is not my favorite part, but better than nothing).

what resolution for this video are you using? it's a bit wider than other videos

I'm going to start with video and streaming, but I'm not sure which mic I should choose. Thinking of Røde Podmic or Elgato Wave DX Dynamic since they are most available where I live, but not sure which one. Someone here which have any opinions on which one I should choose?

I dont even stream... but i want the Wave Link software... looks sooo useful...

can you review the razer blackshark v2 pro?

Second Q: Can you cover making different mics sound similar so doing a voice over doesn't sound completely different than a lav recorded during the action?

Can I get your opinion? I already have an audio interface (focusrite scarlett solo). I want to make gaming and chatting content. Should I get a Rode PodMic or something like a Hyoerx quadcast? Much love!

EQ before compression, or after? ☺

What about Adobe Audition?)

How does Twitch react to the platform icons of other platforms being in the chat when multi-streaming I want to stream to Twitch, KZread and Facebook

I suffer from having a quiet voice but loud background (window ac about 10 feet away). Nvidias filter (background noise remover?) always makes my voice sound like water no matter the strength. I just have to use a slightly high gain because of my voice on a sm7b, which unfortunately brings in background noise.

why is the beacn mic on in the backround?

Does this also work the mic HyperX quadcast rgb ?

Holy hell, that intro was way louder than the vocals. I lunged for my speakers to turn it down. And then cranked it back up when the vocals came back super soft and I couldn't make anything out. Quite an odd choice for a video about setting up the perfect sound. Might want to rebalance the dynamics for future videos.

First guys! Going to watch the video now

If i haveva 4090 i9 13900k, do I need 2 pc to stream? Is one good enough?

both mics sound compressed and a bit unnatural or is that just YT compression?

What about headset mics?

The title should have been "how to setup the PERFECT Elgato USB Mic" then I would know not to click on it.....

Please bring Pizza Pronto

Guys just buy a BEACN mic.

anddd... my mic is from 5 below

Please either include the name of the microphone in the video title, or address setting up all usb mics generally through OBS. This is very specific just for this mic, and a beginner will just get more confused. No hate, been watching and supporting since three years ago, but this ain't it chief.

This video was a little underwhelming.Don't get me wrong there were some nice informations but the only thing about "better sound quality" is a EQ and a link to a compressor vid. And that's it? No other filters like an Expander etc? No word about the importance of the order of the active filters in OBS? That's a little thin for a "masterclass" imo. I know it's for free but I thought there would be more "meat" in a Senpai Gaming Masterclass vid ;-)

People diss usb mics like xlr is an upgrade..I have an sm7db and an earthworks icon usb mic. Guess which is on the shelf. The sm7db. The earthworks sounds better and is easier to use..period
