Hey is the overlay pack available yet? it looked really good i am a free time streamer not dedicating alot of money/time just for fun but would like to make the most of my community. I appreciate all the tips.
@streamscheme you did great man. Note going to lie I was waiting for the “if you want to sound good you need xyz things” and the fact that you didn’t do that and also time stamped the video for people (I watched it all twice haha) is great. Good flippin job mate, for real. Keep it up. You were authentic, not pushing promotions, and sincerely trying to just help people so you got a quick subscription from me. You’re a rare breed my friend, thank you.
OMG! The supression instantly helped me! Like my mic picks a lot of keyboard, mouse sounds and it got instant fixed when i enabled it. thank you so much!
I agree. Just wanted to thank you for the videos wanted to start streaming and had little knowledge on obs and setting up my mic and your videos have been very helpful. The quality of my stream is going to be better than what i could've accomplished on my own. Again thank you for the time spent making these. 🙏💪
@@SunOrRiver I completely agree with you. I just started streaming and although it's mostly just for fun, I still want some growth and these tips help the quality of my stream so much.
So i spent 13 hours mixing and trying to make my AT2020 USB Plus sound as good as its suppose to, But all i got was over blown, Grainy sounding audio. Within 15 minutes of this video the mic sounded absolutely perfect! Thanks so much! Keep up the great work!
This video is amazing. I'm guessing 90% of noises in my surrounding are gone. I'm not using a professional mic, but it definitely helps with laptop webcam too. It used to record birds, people talking and cars on the street. Now its gone. THANK YOU so much.
I know this is 10 months old. But, I just wanted to say thank you. You have a very understandable way of teaching. You feel very upfront honest, and legit. Thanks again. I am learning so much.
@@StreamScheme At the moment, my built-in mic. It's extremely unideal, but I haven't been able to get my hands on an affordable usb mic yet. Still searching on that front.
Scratch that, I just found a 15 year old USB mic that we used to use to play High School Musical on PS2, and it actually sounds amazing! XD Who would’ve known?
Your channel has been amazing for learning the world of tech/TH-cam/twitch! Thank you!! Wishing everyone the best of luck on their journeys - we got this!
I wanna say a massive thank you to stream scheme you have helped me so much and me just having the equipment and the knowledge to be able to launch my first stream is a dream!! i owe a lot to you!!
I've been having some serious audio issues and I'm so grateful for this video! I've been clicking buttons and trial and erroring to see what worked, but this helped put actual knowledge to what each function does. Thank you!!
I’m surprised you didn’t mention using the compressor for audio ducking. I use this so that my voice and and game audio/background music come out to the same level, but when I speak the game audio/background music lowers automatically. Been working very well. I also used some EQ and compressor filtering on my iPhone earbuds mic to make it sound almost as good as a decent condenser mic. That’s next on the list to buy, but it has me sounding so much better in the mean time.
Great advice, honestly I tried to keep it incredibly simple. Basic audio and a few filters that help deal with the major issues I see people having. It’s great you’re researching how to make it the best it can be before spending heaps on a mic as well! That’s awesome!
Omg this has been the most helpful video yet. I was trying to figure out if my mic was truly garbage or it was picking up the laptop fan. Turns out it was picking up the fan, and now the audio sounds much better. Thanks!!!!
I am looking into streaming and I am currently watching all your videos I can to prepare before hand, thank you for making these easy to follow and entertaining videos
Thank you! A really nice, to the point video. I wish more channels would make tutorials like this, explaining simple things in a simple matter like you did here. You don't have to be an audio engineer for this but some people act like it^^"
Thanks man thanks for helping me out with my mic I got the razor seiren mini and didn’t know how to set it up on OBS studio the moment I watch your video my problem and there was so many video on TH-cam and none of them help me on till I watch your continuing the great works
These worked really well. I didn't know anything about audio settings. I'm currently trying to rise my stream quality and these are good tips to raise it without buying any new gear :)
Thank you for the audio information. We have had a lot of interesting issues with audio but we also over complicated a bit by introducing a digital mixing board to manage each audio source on the computer independently. Other then thanking you I am mostly seeing if you still are at a 5 minute response time as claimed in the video. Thanks again, and I've been watching and liking each your videos from your first. I appreciate the information and the production style.
Came here to see if i could learn some new stuff. I knew all the basics but just the way you explain things and show them. Top notch job! You make some amazing content!
great video but i felt like audio ducking is an important part as well. it makes ur game/background audio lower only when you are talking. very useful to teach people and it goes great with what you taught here
This was an amazingly helpful video, I didn't even know monitoring or filters existed on slobs, and the difference is insane especially because my computer is stupidly loud (stock fans) and this completely cancels its noise. Your videos are great and in like 2 days it's made my streams so much better. I've never found any tutorials as great as these (most of them don't really help out beginning streamers or explain things very well.)
Glad it was helpful! I will be honest this is literally the video I am most proud of on the channel, I think it probably has the most practical value out of any tutorial I've made. I try recommend it to almost everyone hahaha
Yeah Out of the videos I’ve seen this is probably the most important one to have, outside of just setting up slobs or obs, just cause it changes the audio so much
Your video was very helpful to me! I decided to leave out RTX Voice for the OBS built-in filters and your video helped me to understand which filters would best help me in this transition! Keep up the good work! :)
Hey coming from someone who wanted pro-level microphone and audio quality but couldn't afford the ear cleaner throat guzzler 9000 this video was super helpful!
Warzone is a really hard game to get mixed right, sometimes play is really quiet then all of a sudden super loud gunfight, or it can be a nice level then a super loud cut scene happens.
Great tips! Thanks! Just followed this through and eager to see how it goes! Always used a noise gate but now the others are in place it's like...well, it's very good.
never even thought about the mic levels in windows! defiantly my first investment in my channel will be a decent mic! i was thinking about one of the cheep amazon ones but think ill stick with the headset untill i can afford a reputable one
This was a really good video. I've always wanted to try mic-monitoring, but can't. My elgato source builds up noise over time when outputting from obs and the only way to solve it was to monitor the elgato (for some reason it's only the elgato that builds up noise go figure).
Thanks - this is a great one. Im sure this is a pretty obvious question to many of you. I just ordered and got a condensator microphone (from Sub Zero) with the goal to sing etc. I also would like to use it some on discord, but I struggle with understanding and figuring out which equalizer to use for desktop microphone sound - again for mainly discord.
Your tips are amazing and I'm very thankful to have found them! 🤘 I do have a question about mixing audios: my channel creates gaming and DnD content, I want to be able to talk to my group on discord without it coming through to the stream ahead of time but still be able to provide background music to the stream, your thoughts?
I'm small just starting, you videos definitely improved my content.. question, my daughter says she embarrassed by me being a streamer, I'm crushed wtf do I do?
Just came across this via your streaming mistakes vid, and though I haven't started streaming yet, I've at least got my mic set up a bit better now. Though I guess if I ever start streaming, I'll have to learn to speak up as I max out the OBS volume, win10 mic volume at 80%, and I'm still not even hitting yellow unless I'm unusually loud. Still, the noise gate is good for mostly getting rid of mouse and mechanical keyboard clicks.
That’s very odd that it isn’t picking up your voice much, there might be a switch on your mic to up the volume or potentially the monitoring back is lowered so it’s loud but you are hearing it quieter than it would broadcast! Good luck! Hope the videos help! :)
Thanks! Did some mic tweaks based on your video. I'm sure anyone watching my streams also appreciates it! XD I did however have some trouble getting it to hear myself, so I may have to do some more checking on that part later, but it's a start! :D
Might be a long shot since this is an older video but I'm playing with filters and it seems any filter I add in turn makes me sound tinny and robotic almost - unsure if this is the mic once filters are added or? Thanks in advance
@@StreamScheme it truly does. I'm just starting out with videos and streams and your instructions, the fact that you came from the film world and explain things both technically and for the layman really really help. I come to this from graphic design and photography so I knew just enough to be frustrated by not knowing .... enough. Then I found you and realized it is accessible to me as well. There is a shift in focus and I do have to put in the time but that is all good. You really helped.
My problem is not removing the keyboard or mouse clicking sounds. Instead it's when I lift up my mouse and slam it back down (with little force as well). My Blue Yeti picks up that sound more than my voice so it's difficult to find a way to eliminate that sound without eliminating my voice!
I'm using OBS Studio but was obviously still able to use the same filters. Only problem is, my audio monitoring sort of gradually ends up off-sync with the filters applied. Any tips?
Wouldn't a Compressor be better than a Limiter? A compressor basically makes voice volume be more consistent. It effectively squishes your volume so that the loud parts are quieter and the quiet parts are louder. A nice ratio for the compressor is 4-to-1. With this, I can whisper during my livestreams and people still hear me clearly while not getting their eardrums shattered when I start raging.
Absolutely :) That said, this video is aimed at absolute beginners and people just starting out. You'd be surprised how many people can even make mistakes when setting up noise gates or noise suppression because they fiddle with so many settings, then just get lost. I weighed up which was easier for someone to learn, and went with a limiter to start people off.
OK so going though all this. First it has really helped me understand my mic alot more. but one thought, I normaly use RTX broadcast app to remove noises but are the filters in OBS Better? Thanks for the great content. Just gained another sub.
@@StreamScheme thanks for the quick reply. I did a recording test using rtx last night. And did find it sounded great. I'm. Going to try the filters in OBS and record again today. See how each sounds. On a different note, What's your thoughts on voice meter? Is it something you use?
Make sure the window is big enough for them to even appear, but if there are none it most likely means you don't have the correct microphone source selected. :)
@@StreamScheme never mind, i saw that i was in performance mode and when i switched back from performance mode i could see it again. Thanks so much again for the help, I really like your content and i hope it will help me
@@StreamScheme You should actually check out the Fifine K669B in case you haven't. Its sound quality can keep up with microphones you'd otherwise pay ten times the price for.
Thanks for the videos! I'm working my way through them all. Out of curiosity, when you are scripting these videos, what percentage are you writing out? Point form or more?
These days I EQ all of my mics with my GoXLR but when I started out just this video was how I did everything and it worked perfectly fine to grow from 0 - 150 viewers without any mic complaints :) I have a video on my switch from USB to XLR that just came out as well.
I want to start streaming ASAP. Good sound is so important as you know; crappy sound is like fingernails on a blackboard. I've got some questions, though. In ca 1985, Carver came out with his audio holograph generator that works with ordinary stereo and mono in a top end mixer/preamp. I understand the hologram theory, but it somehow gives it a powerful but difficult to describe 3-D "presence", even in mono that's truly mind-blowing. There seems to be something exotic and not used in the human audio cortex that's beyond what stereo can do. Is there software that can produce an audio hologram? And what do you recommend for 'voice changing' software?
Hi, not sure if this is on the same topic as the video but, I stream from my pc on streamlabs obs to my Xbox via my elgato capture card. Would you happen to know how I can get my stream could here the people I am playing with?
How do you prevent someone's voice being picked up on your Mic when they are in the same room? My Mic is great I have all the settings and filters working (I can watch TH-cam through my speakers and it not come through the stream) but when we play Phasmopobia for example with an in game chat system we will pick up each other talking causing echoing.
I’m having an issue where my voice echos. It’s like I’m talking in an empty room and the vibration comes back at me. I’ve trying messing with every setting and filter I can think of. Any ideas?
Hey, Eljayem, have you ever streamed and one day your commentary just stops being picked up? Even though it comes through recording in OBS and Streamlabs OBS when I hit record, when I hit livestream, I get no audio from my microphone whatsoever! Can you help me with this, please?
I actually mention in this video before start doing work in SLOBs that everything is the exact same in OBS :) it’s just a different skin essentially, all the filters and settings are identical.
@@StreamScheme Must have missed that part. Will take a look at those settings. Using a headset mic for now but plan on upgrading in the future. Already have the audio split for each of my different sources, which has been a huge boon to my stream.
I just watched your video on setting up your webcam, but can't find it now.....cause im a old dumb cow~ Any chance to get you to pop by and look at a vod....and maybe give some tips on stopping the pix prob as well as clearing up my cam? I'm on twitch, same name.
I hope this full guide on how to get yourself set up with your audio is helpful! I found a lot of videos tried to force me to buy expensive products and felt this was important to help streamers! Let me know how I did!

That said, this video is aimed at absolute beginners and people just starting out. You'd be surprised how many people can even make mistakes when setting up noise gates or noise suppression because they fiddle with so many settings, then just get lost.
I weighed up which was easier for someone to learn, and went with a limiter to start people off.
@@StreamScheme aight, makes sense. 🤔
I have found Voxengo Marvel GEQ plugin to help with your mic quality :D - Great Video by the way.
I’ll take a look into it! Thanks for the kind words!
Great video! Very helpful 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Can you leave a link to where you got your microphone at so I know exactly the one you got Thanks in advance
love the content. Thanks for the effort you have put in.
OK so going though all this. First it has really helped me understand my mic alot more. but one thought, I normaly use RTX broadcast app to remove noises but are the filters in OBS Better?
Thanks for the great content. Just gained another sub.
I prefer the filters in OBS and SLOBs, just less programs to have open but it really is what works for you :)
@@StreamScheme thanks for the quick reply. I did a recording test using rtx last night. And did find it sounded great. I'm. Going to try the filters in OBS and record again today. See how each sounds. On a different note, What's your thoughts on voice meter? Is it something you use?
@@BenRigden If you need it, and it works it is a great tool but It isn't something I ever really needed personally :)
I can't find the "green, yellow, red" indicator under my audio sources. Is these any fix?
Make sure the window is big enough for them to even appear, but if there are none it most likely means you don't have the correct microphone source selected. :)
@@StreamScheme never mind, i saw that i was in performance mode and when i switched back from performance mode i could see it again. Thanks so much again for the help, I really like your content and i hope it will help me
Thanks man - legend!
Glad it helped!
I just bought a condensator mic for 40 bucks and played with the filters and options until i liked it
Nice!
@@StreamScheme You should actually check out the Fifine K669B in case you haven't. Its sound quality can keep up with microphones you'd otherwise pay ten times the price for.
My turtle beach headset mic dying rn lol need this 📹 🎥 📻 📸 🎮
Thank you so much!
Hope it helped!
@@StreamScheme omg you’re still hearting?!?
@@chimcactusswift5494 Of course :)
Thanks for the videos! I'm working my way through them all. Out of curiosity, when you are scripting these videos, what percentage are you writing out? Point form or more?
The entire thing!
do you use any plugins such as reaperplugins, or anything to do with Equalisers
These days I EQ all of my mics with my GoXLR but when I started out just this video was how I did everything and it worked perfectly fine to grow from 0 - 150 viewers without any mic complaints :) I have a video on my switch from USB to XLR that just came out as well.
how do you get those filters? They aren't options for me when I click on mic settings and go to filters, it's blank
I read in some research that the AudioTechnica AT2020+ USB requires a pre-amp. is that really true? if so, could a software pre-amp be used?
I use the USB version and it goes straight into my computer just fine?
So nice of the grocery store to let you record videos in their dairy section!
Does anyone know if I can do these things and not stream? I just want to use the gates and suppression’s for my mic
Things like Discord have a lot of this built into their settings, but honestly it depends on the program you're using the mic with!
Hey my man I got a small question when i clicked on the filters tab there were no filters.
Because you need to add them as shown in the video :)
@@StreamScheme i havent even finished your 65 tips to improve your twitch stream for free video and you replied thats special.
I want to start streaming ASAP. Good sound is so important as you know; crappy sound is like fingernails on a blackboard. I've got some questions, though. In ca 1985, Carver came out with his audio holograph generator that works with ordinary stereo and mono in a top end mixer/preamp. I understand the hologram theory, but it somehow gives it a powerful but difficult to describe 3-D "presence", even in mono that's truly mind-blowing. There seems to be something exotic and not used in the human audio cortex that's beyond what stereo can do.
Is there software that can produce an audio hologram? And what do you recommend for 'voice changing' software?
What kind of camera do you use? I've been debating between a couple
Hi, not sure if this is on the same topic as the video but, I stream from my pc on streamlabs obs to my Xbox via my elgato capture card. Would you happen to know how I can get my stream could here the people I am playing with?
Thank you very much!!!!
How would it be if i used RNNoise, as it says it uses more CPU, compared to Speex?
How do you prevent someone's voice being picked up on your Mic when they are in the same room? My Mic is great I have all the settings and filters working (I can watch TH-cam through my speakers and it not come through the stream) but when we play Phasmopobia for example with an in game chat system we will pick up each other talking causing echoing.
such a goat for this
Nothing special here, just hope it helped :)
Hello i did what you told me and the clicks are still too loud can you help me figure it out?
I’m having an issue where my voice echos. It’s like I’m talking in an empty room and the vibration comes back at me. I’ve trying messing with every setting and filter I can think of. Any ideas?
Hey, Eljayem, have you ever streamed and one day your commentary just stops being picked up? Even though it comes through recording in OBS and Streamlabs OBS when I hit record, when I hit livestream, I get no audio from my microphone whatsoever! Can you help me with this, please?
Will any of these help with breathing noises?
All of them :)
Can you do a similar video for OBS Studio?
I actually mention in this video before start doing work in SLOBs that everything is the exact same in OBS :) it’s just a different skin essentially, all the filters and settings are identical.
@@StreamScheme Must have missed that part. Will take a look at those settings. Using a headset mic for now but plan on upgrading in the future. Already have the audio split for each of my different sources, which has been a huge boon to my stream.
69 is always the best option for volume level sounds silly, but it works
But i already have the earcleanerthroatguzzuling6000 mic 🎙 so I can’t use it?
I just watched your video on setting up your webcam, but can't find it now.....cause im a old dumb cow~ Any chance to get you to pop by and look at a vod....and maybe give some tips on stopping the pix prob as well as clearing up my cam? I'm on twitch, same name.
Do you think getting Voicemeeter is necessary? do you use it?
I’ve never used it for my streams, just to learn what it does, but it can be helpful. I just didn’t need it.
