    @Micalexlast year As a " musici always found adding a hi-pass filter to remove the extreme low end at the start nof your chain helps to get a cleaner signal for later compression and it also helps noise suppression to be a bit more precise as the extreme low end takes a lot more energy to be produce.
    most of the time its just the low end that triggers your compressor and limiters

    @JoshJoshJoshJoshJoshJosh9 months ago I came here just to figure out how to get the sound of my ac not be picked up during my stream, but now my mic sounds way better as well. Thanks so much! thank for the comprehensive yet easy-to-follow video.
    edit: i would like to add that i have a portable ac like two feet from me that makes a lot of noise, so i followed the steps you laid out, but i did noise suppressionbelow gain and then a vst pluginunderneath the noise suppression. Then i followed the steps you laid out after gain. There' s a tiny bit more to the way i laid things out, but it helped a lot with my very low-end mic

    @Quelkaimalast year After much consternation and " i' m never gonna be able to figure this out! " i did it. After watching it all the way through one time, i re-watched since i cannot (for whatever reason) use exeldro' s source record plugin, adding in redundant, unfiltered audio tracks for capture card and pc audio that aren' t sent to the audience but are saved with the video allows me to clip highlights with the game audio only.
    i' ll be making a backup of this new setup because i have to reinstall windows 11. That' s another story for another time, however!

    @SebLearnsStory4 months ago This improved my sound massively.
    previously, it was always clipped while speaking (now i know its because the time-delaywas set to 6ms instead of 3ms) the noise reduction didnt really work well. It either reduced way too much or you could still hear cars outside which was unfortunate. And then my voice was very low, i had to talk so loud that it hurt after 10 minutes. Really stressful. Also you get a headache pretty quickly and the whole process is not enjoyable.
    well.
    your video did wonders!
    now when talking very calmly, the audio is really good to hear. Loud. But also sounds nice. And background noise as well as mouse clicking and keyboard tapping is cut out. And the limiter prevents my loudest moments from being deleted.
    overall a very nice tutorial. Thanks for that! I have a rode smartlav microphone. Nothing special at all. Around 50$ i think it costs.
    anyways. The sound is more than good for my expectations and i am really happy now. Thanks again man

    @ScuffedChibilast year Hi there! I have some questions about managing audio. I followed all your instruction but i' m not satisfied with the result that i have. Sometimes here are few questions that i would love to ask.
    i' m using an xlr mic rode nt1 with scarlet 2i2, and i work in a small room, 2, 5 x 4 meter. My background noise is kinda loud especially when i type and click my mouse. I put my mic around 5 inches away from my mouth
    1. What is the best gain you should set in audio interface? I' m usually put my gain on 3 oclock since it constantly show green light when i talk in normal voice. I tried to put it on 12 oclock but it doesn' t show green light when i talk, even when i' m very close to my mic
    2. How does it differs when you set audio gain in audio interface, windows (in device properties) and gain filter in obs? If there is no difference, do we actually need gain filter if we can just increase the volume thru audio interface?
    3. If somehow my viewers said my audio is too low, should i increase it from the gain filter we set in obs or audio interface? I usually keep my mic to 100% in obs
    thanks in advance! I really like your video, it is really helpful for people who have problems like i do
