Feedback time. We'll be adding about two new episodes to the Master Class every month. What topics do you wish there was a Master Class video on? HIT ME (with feedback, not your hand)
Hello man,many thanks for this video! What about 1)An AI noise remover BEFORE or AFTER the Noise Gate (since when gate opens because of your voice the background noise pops out too 2) De-essing directly on Elgato EQ or using a specific plug-in. Thanks!
I really appreciate these tutorials videos. Ill be setting up our new office soon, so this will be very helpful. My fiancée and I stream/record gaming videos together and one of the biggest issues we've had is audio. Specifically, our mics picking up on each other's audio. Would you please consider making one of these videos talking about setting up audio for a two, or more, person stream? We would be very greatful if you did.
Really important for most creators is if you use too much effects and compression it can be hard to listen to for long periods of time. The typical "radio voice" that I see most creators chasing is good for 30-60 seconds spots in between songs but listening to that for an hour or longer is very difficult. It's not something most people can articulate why, but they know it feels exhausting to listen to.
Quick piece of constructive criticism : Please consider removing your background music when demonstrating small audio changes. Primarily when discussing noise gates it is very hard to hear the examples of background hum in your demo. Cheers mate and love the channel
Hey Editor some feedback when hes talking about a weird hum that you can barely hear MAAAAAAYBE turn off the music so we can hear what hes talking about just for a sec
I find it hard to notice the subtle audio changes when talking about things like EQ and noise gate when there's background music playing over the whole video.
I agree that there could be certain parts of the video that shouldn't have background music like when he wasn't talking to have us hear the background noise
i remember learning something and I highly recommend to others. don't use noise gate if you don't need to, rather you should use noise suppression. reason being that noise gut just as implied cuts off the audio while on the other hand noise suppression lowers the volume instead of completely cutting it off. this means its less likely to cut off the start and end of sentences like noise gate can sometimes do
Massive help, I love how it shaped my mic's output. I am using an Audio Technica AT-2020 and used your wave link settings as a foundation. EQ with Tokyo Dawn Records Nova, Noise Gate with ReaGate, and Compression with ReaComp. Making due with what I have lol.
That may be a stupid question, but what is the best way to set it up when using a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 or similar, as far as I know Focusrite doesn't have plugins and provides no streaming focused software.
Genuine question. Why would you not have the noisegate first before you EQ it? Wouldn't you want the noise removed first as that would factor into what you are hearing during EQ?
What i use is do a normal recording through stream deck and open that voice recording file. I made sure i set the input as mic (NON fx) and output in the SFX from wave link. There i can adjust the eq when adjusting the vst while listening to the recording in real time.
Sounded a bit over compressed. I like punchy consonants, but these were Ali consonants. Lol. A nice starter guide, but it might not be a bad idea to mention getting your signal hot enough before going into processing. i imagine that would help your compression settings. And think about not playing background music for a video like this. Episode 8 part 2 when?
I laughed when you showed me i could just record and put the audio through another channel with the noise gate, eq and that. Thats such a helpful tip. Also maybe no music when demonstrating the voice changes or just turn it down a notch. Any any tips for lets say people hearing your keyboard
Such an awesome episode, Senpai!💯 I love how you break everything down with such clarity and practical advice-it’s definitely going to make a difference in my streaming setup. Can’t wait for the next episode! 👍
Any reason you did the Noise gate second and not first in your chain? I was always shown that you put that before EQ, but I’m open to changing things to make things sound better.
Maybe a dumb question, if you stream with OBS what audio source do you choose? The mic or the software (Wave Link)? Do the audio changes in Wave Link apply directly to the audio source?
Couldn't figure out why I didn't have a menu icon. Apparently you have to remove the existing EQ that's installed and go to their web store to get it again before it will prompt to update the EQ plugin to the current version. Going to software updates in the settings I guess was too simple of a solution.
Hey Harris! I'm hard of hearing and I couldn't figure out at all with ANC earbuds and my volume cranked up what you were talking about with small audio differences. I think the background music was just a little too distracting.
Any advice on getting the best sound from a lavalier mic? I have a cheap BOYA BY-M1 that I want to get the most out of, or am I better off investing into a proper XLR mic?
I am taking alot of notes although what do you recommend for an Audio Technica AT2020USB+? Or is it best to just apply the basic noise gate and compression as is without an EQ?
Hi, I'm thinking of buying the Hercules Stream 200 XLR together with the MAONO AU-AM200 dynamic microphone and the XMSJSIY Preamplifier, do you think it would be a good combination?
Can you please make a video for streaming podcasters? I'm looking for a software that can automatically switch cameras (or OBS scenes) for me and my cohosts. We're all connected to a single mixer. Right now I'm using the streamdeck and it's a really difficult solution.
My room is is not sound treated well. when i add compression it adds like an echo to my voice. Or like a grand hall sound. is there a way to make this sound better without sound treating the room?
Question: what if I’m kind of a high pitched shouter when i pkay game? is there a specific audio setting I should look out for? Love the video! second questions, whats the title of the background music! i love it ❤
Ok, Harris or anyone else. I cannot get the plugins GUIs to open. When I press the cog in the top right-hand corner nothing happens. No EQ graph, Noise Gate control or Compression control, nothing. I have updated Wave Link to the latest version. Closed then opened Wave Link and restarted my PC. But nothing has worked. Any ideas?
Hey nice video! Would you mind making a video with beacn studio and obs. I'm a first time streamer and it's so hard to understand.. Thanks for your videos!
I have a SM7DB connected to a mvx2u and running straight into pc. What would you recommend me do? The mvx2u software seems rather lacking than what I had expected.
Supports any mic, but from trying this on my condenser mic (hyper X solocast) it's hard to make it work as the mic pick up so much more noise than a dynamic mic
Awesome video! New video suggestion: Audio setup for all of us Loupedeck owners! I have a a Loupdeck CT for photo/video work - how can I use that to control audio for an XLR mic? Hardware and software. Thanks brother!
Hi!! I want to buy my first XLR mic set-up and the Moto M2 interface has caught my eye because it has 2 XLR ports and the screen to monitor the mic levels. But as I've been watching videos, other audio interfaces have built in software to adjust compression, EQ and Noise gate, which from my understanding doesn't come with the Moto M2. If that's the case, what's the best way to adjust compression, EQ and Noise gate of your mic while using Moto M2? I was gonna buy a RodePod mic and I use my mic for discord, obs (streaming/ recording video) and voice chat
Yes it can, just a different UI Edit: The benefit of doing it directly on the mic means that no matter what software you're using, your microphone should sound the same. VoiceMeter is a good alternative.
Had the Wave XLR for almost 2 years and it was good until recently. After a firmware update the Monitor Mix can't be switched from the software anymore so I have to open the Volume Mixer on Windows and change it every time there manually . For me who uses Discord a lot as well as games and YT this is a deal breaker because I like changing outputs from my IEM's to my speakers, but this just isn't possible anymore and Elgato support brushed my support tickets off. Never buying their stuff again.
Not with wavelink, you either need their usb mic or wave xlr to use wavelink. But if you are streaming and using obs you can download the audio plugins that he used for the noise gate and use them in OBS on your mic in there. That pack have noise gate, eq, compressor and more, though they are are not as user friendly as what is shown in the video but that also mean you have more options and adaptability.
You can use Voicemeter or Steel Steries Sonar to give you the virtual audio channels. I believe Sonar supports VSTs. Like others said, you can just use the plug ins in OBS.
Need a setting or video for the Ladies when they scream 😅. Been trying to adjust settings for my wife but no luck. Any type of scream/high pitch noise gets cut out and it sounds unpleasant in the streams. Using the Wave:3. Any help appreciated 👍
Hey buddy, you can actually download VST's into obs which do have these graphs, for EQ i use TDR Nova, compression Reaper Plugins for obs and the noise gate is preety simple for the goxlr. Hope this helps
I tried to follow this guide but whenever I set the compressor to the "recommended" settings my voice sounds very echo-y and empty. Anyone know why is that happening?
The problem with my mic is in my input sound setting, the bar that is used to test your microphone only moves up by like 5%. Even when I yell into it, it barely moves at all. All my friend say that I'm super quiet. I'm using a Shure SM7B with a cloudlifter connected to a Scarlett Solo. I appreciate any help!
That Cloudlifter should EASILY make that mic extremely loud. Is the Cloudlifter even working? Did you turn on phantom power to juice up the Cloudlifter (it needs the 48v phantom power to work)? That thing can provide up to like 25+ dB of gain, so, I'm guessing phantom power isn't enabled on your interface.
@@LouAllenWheeler Well yah, the 48v on my Scarlett Solo is literally green. The only thing I can think that it could be is my XLR cables are bad. I bought them off of amazon.
@@ThailerKiwi Interesting. It's possible the cable is bad, but typically you'd get noise in the line too, because of intermittent connections. But it's not impossible that a quiet line level could be the issue. Have you tested in another app, like Reaper or Audacity, just to see if it's not something else in your OBS signal chain?
@@LouAllenWheeler No I haven't, this is happening in my window sounds setting. I record clips with GeForce Experience sometimes and when you rewatch them. I'm very quiet. Also, my teammates in game tell me to turn my mic up all the time, even though I have my output all the way up already.
Love the series, can u end up making a vid about taking a livestream from twitch or TH-cam and turning it into a video. Maybe it’s simpler than I’m imagining but it would still be a big help
I use a compressor that compresses the game volume every time i speak, that way my audience always hears me over the game, I am the loudest speaker in my stream
i don't have an elgato, nor beacn or other higher brands, i just have a fifine mic and my friends always hear my computer fans but idk how to cut them out from games chat, discord and xbox app have noise cancellation so it's not a problem there. Is there an app that i can get? i tried steelseries sonar but for some reason it doesnt recognise my mic...
Discord has built in noise suppression which is supposed to handle most of the room noise you have cookin. BUT, if the gain on your microphone is high enough, there is only so much the Discord noise suppression can do to noise gate out the audio you don't want getting through. A few things 1) Make sure you have the noise suppression in discord turn on 2) get a boom arm so the mic can get closer to your mic, which lets you 3) turn down the gain (sensitivity) in the microphone and 4) check the noise gate setting in Discord. There is automatic and manual. Try out the manual if you haven't already. -Nick
@ discord is fine, I think you misunderstood my message but it’s no problem or at least I think I solved it with the steelseries sonar app! 👌🏼 thanks anyway for answering, I love your videos! ❤️
Thanks... these settings are also good for OBS's built in mic settings if you don't have Elgato Wavelink software. Just follow the instructions and that's it. I only added Gain at the end and worked like a charm ;) Thanks for the video :)
I have a weird noise on my mic too, but i CANNOT find the frequency of it. It must be some kind of interference from something somewhere.......it gets worse when I play games...........I dont know what it is and its very annoying.
That's your computers fans most likely since they run faster (louder) when gaming. The noise gate would take care of that or noise supression in Streamlabs if you're streaming. You can probably find other third party noise supression apps but I can't recommend any since I am just using this while streaming myself.
The unfortunate thing as well is that this tutorial would be easier to understand with Elgato or BEACN. Just because of the interface. It's much easier to understand what you're doing and much easier to adjust. Which leads me to ask. Is there any free alternatives that have these kinds of user interfaces?
Thank you so much... I'm so tired of sounding like a.... well like a turd.. I have a deep voice and it sounds like I mumble, because it's deep.. thank you for the help... I'm going to go back over all these from the start.. Something happened to OBS, well maybe just mine, and it's glitching out and crashing every stream.
How are you overriding the Elgato Mic with the SM7B? I have both, but the Wavelink software is only available if the Elgato mic is plugged in, making it the default mic
Yea the background music made it almost impossible apart from the initial spot the difference at the start to hear any changes you were talking about - overlay music or background music really shouldn't have been on this at all.
Feedback time. We'll be adding about two new episodes to the Master Class every month. What topics do you wish there was a Master Class video on? HIT ME (with feedback, not your hand)

I'd honestly rather them reupload with these changes than them make a new video 6 months down the road like they've been doing
6:55 Elgato Wave Link (V.2) now allows you to record 15 seconds of your voice directly with the software now
how
@Ur1zenn you'll need the V.2 Beta. After you installed the new version, you'll get a new button on the effect page
Hey Editor some feedback when hes talking about a weird hum that you can barely hear MAAAAAAYBE turn off the music so we can hear what hes talking about just for a sec

Just wanted to say the sweep and cut fixed an issue I've been having for a while. Thanks Harris!
Absolute Grinder. 11pm uploads? Thank you for this series
5 am in germany, woke up, oh another video from him
He's got a new born so we get it when we get. Got to respect the Grind.
Thanks, this series is the best.
I find it hard to notice the subtle audio changes when talking about things like EQ and noise gate when there's background music playing over the whole video.
You need better headphones
I agree with@@CGJoe, I can hear it just fine

I just did that sweep and cut and found I had 3 resonant frequencies. It sounds much better with that done. Thank you.

I would LOVE an eq setup for the GoXlr specifically. The slider being different makes it hard to follow along
Adding my voice to the complaints on the music playing during subtle audio adjustments. Especially around the noise gate for this video.
Any reason you did the Noise gate second and not first in your chain? I was always shown that you put that before EQ, but I’m open to changing things to make things sound better.
Voice 1 sounded deeper and clearer but has a little mouth sounds and two didn’t have this but seemed lower
should i use the mic in or microphonefx from elgato for discord/stream?
When are you planning to make the alerts and overlay video?
Can you make one of these for best EQ settings on Rodecasters without the fancy EQ windows to see what your doing ?
Honestly I like the sound both on and off, but with the everything on it definitely sounds more clear and professional
Im sad I cant use the Wavelink software without an elgato mic.
Maybe a dumb question, if you stream with OBS what audio source do you choose? The mic or the software (Wave Link)? Do the audio changes in Wave Link apply directly to the audio source?
Can you talk about Noise suppression foams? The ones you put on the wall, I find very little difference after I put mine
Tested on the new DJI mic mini and the EQ is pretty nice. Had to lower down the high frequencies but very helpful! thanks

Do I need a specific mic for Elgato Wave Link or does it work with any mic?
any mic works, preferably a dynamic mic rather than a condenser due to the latter being more sensitive

Harris, any tips on why WaveLink keeps starting up with some features OFF?
I have had this problem for years now. So annoying.
🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thank you, Harris!
🤪 Thank you. This series is really helping.
I prefer your sound without the effects, but that's just because the compressor is either too aggressive or the threshold is too low.
You're right about really needing an expander in the Elgato effects.
Thanks... these settings are also good for OBS's built in mic settings if you don't have Elgato Wavelink software. Just follow the instructions and that's it. I only added Gain at the end and worked like a charm ;) Thanks for the video :)
you should add gain as a first filter in OBS

Is it because hes using the StreamDeck + or wavelink XLR?
@@CreateNowSleepLater That must be it, SD+ must give you access to WaveLink and voila, thank you!
@@generalwarning I can confirm that. I have one. You can use the Wave link with any mic with it.
@@CreateNowSleepLater Would you say its worth the price over the typical stream deck? I have the 15 button one and it acts up a lot
2 voice I prefer!
Yea the background music made it almost impossible apart from the initial spot the difference at the start to hear any changes you were talking about - overlay music or background music really shouldn't have been on this at all.
any way to do this with a USB mic
Great video, thanks. Hope your arm heals! ❤🩹
