I've been having so much trouble with my voice sounding too "bassy" and distorted at anything above normal talking pitch. I'd tried so many different tweaks until I found your video, and it's sorted everything. Thank you so much!
Been following on and off for 8 years now (wow), and I'm just now seeing this since it's not on the main channel. Great tutorial! This video should be on the main channel. Thanks for everything that you do. I'm giving this video my first ever super thanks.
I wish more people would learn about what compressors/limiters are. I also wish programs like OBS would include a gain reduction meter in the settings because sometimes it can feel like you're shooting a moving target in the dark.
2 years later youtubers and streamers still do not know what compressors/limiters are. which is why i do not watch any of the popular people. all they do is scream and my ears hurt so no thanks. "ManlyBadAssHero" i like cause hes calm with a nice voice to listen too and not need to worry if he's going to blow out ear drums.
hah, the perks of being a musician/producer are coming in handy for me, one of my top priorities in my setup was a good mic, and flawless audio settings! I got an sE Dynacaster for about 280 bucks, in the same kinda league as the renowned SM7B but not quite as expensive, though still pricey, and imho looks WAY cooler and has a better/cleaner hinge mechanism without that extra small wire between the mic and the XLR port, which I never liked about the SM7B. Tbh for best audio I would record raw audio (no OBS plugins), edit the footage without touching audio, and then edit audio separately with the tools I'm familiar with in Logic X for best results, but that makes things so much more long-winded, so if I can get good results directly in OBS and only do minor tweaking if necessary in Premiere Pro, then I'd rather do that and skip the whole Logic process
Screamed on my stream yesterday, discovered that it was PRETTY AWFUL to hear for everyone (and not just because of my voice). Thank you so much for this !
This really helped a lot! I used plugins in OBS for my SM7B, but it always sounded a tad distorted, even with a limited on. Turns out I had too much analog gain! Turning that down and increasing it on the digital side fixed it right up. Anyone can edit in post, but you can't edit a livestream and everything needs to be done on the fly. This helps! Thank you so much!
This right here! I had the limiter at a higher setting and I was still clipping. Reading your comment helped me out a lot. I manually turned down the volume wheel on my Hyper X Quadcast and no more clipping. Thanks!
Would love to see a video like this for vocals and an acoustic guitar through a daw using some basic plugins to where it can be appropriate for a live stream music performance
Came here to try and solve some odd muffled audio in my setup and you'll be pleased to know that even a year later it's still very helpful. Now most of my problems are down to Win10 audio pipeline issues with the generic driver (the Rode AI-1 doesn't have its own driver to bypass it) so I'm mostly there now!
Still to this day the best tutorial about obs audio filters. I wish had added Noise gate/suppression/expander to the video though! Thank you Podcastage.
Finally someone how knows how to set threshold, I see so many people saying put it at -35 which way too much compression -16 is a solid starting point.
Just wondering, why don't you use the gain on the Compressor filter instead? Is it not as good as using just the Gain filter? Ive always just used the Compressor filter with output gain upped on there but yeah, I still get distorted mic audio but that's because I probably need to lower the threshold. Though I am wondering if I should be using your set up instead? Not sure what the difference is.
Thank you for this! Am a very new streamer and I tried to do the settings off another video, and although sounded better I was still peaking because my voice is super high pitched when I get going lol (I had a noise gate on to block out my birds, it turns out Im higher than them... opps) Some of the things you mentioned to do have seemed to make it 100x better! Going to test it out better tomorrow!
DUDE!! I HAVE BATTLED WITH THIS ISSUE FOR SUCH A LONG F___ING TIME AND NOW I STUMBLE OVER YOUR VIDEO AND YOU'RE LIKE: *"Oh yeah, easy fix, just calibrate your Audio-Interface a little and add these two filters in OBS"* I tried it and as simple as that all my Problems are gone... WHAT THE F__K??? Thank you so so much for this tutorial it has helped me so much. I will send you a "Super Thanks" for this! Thank you so much!
Literally been deciding that I want to be able to yell louder some and had “digital clipping” I believe it’s technically called but I already had a limiter on, and I noticed my gain knob was at 2 o clock. Already a very helpful video
Thank you!! I get really loud and squeaky when I'm laughing, so my audio would get really distorted and cut out. This seems to be working! Now I've just gotta get the noise gate set up right & I'm good to go!
Thanks for this Bandrew! Going to share this with my shop so they can get a feel for what to do during a livestream. Also, I'd love for you to show off the fact that you can put VST plugins in OBS! I find the RX-7/RX-8 voice denoise to be quite useful when I'm running a livestream for an event. Gates are also fantastic. Thanks for the great content!
I was actually just playing with this a little bit earlier because I want to make an "OBS mic settings" video, but was shocked that there was no EQ. Was able to get some nice use out of PRODS and PROQ3 from Fab Filter. Will have to try adding in my RX7 plugins to see how that affects the latency of the audio.
@@Podcastage2 I was shocked to find the latency relatively unaffected. However, it's worth noting I tend to run livestreams and not host them, so audio delay doesn't really come up in what I'm doing.
I just got the MV7 and I'm using it over usb. The shure Motive app has it's own limiter & compressor as you sure know. Should I use those or filters in obs?
Thank you for this guide. This actually solve my issue with sm7b distorting at end of sentences or lyrics with obs even though I wasn’t peaking. Set compression attack to 10 ms and adjusted my threshold after adjusting my mic gain on my audio interface.
I have been struggling trying to get my Blue Yeti Pro audio to sound decent using Streamlabs OBS to record external audio (BYP hooked up to laptop with USB, no audio interface yet). This helped. My voice volume fluctuates where I end up clipping on things I shouldn't clip on because, well, let's face it, I have no idea what I'm doing audio recording-wise yet. Between your Blue Yeti Pro test video I watched last night from 2017 and this I just did a test of these filters and the mic placement from that other video, and I can already hear a difference. Lot's for me to tweak but this makes me feel a lot better about using the equipment I currently have till I'm ready to take the next step up. Thanks!
Is there a setting to stop breathing noise from coming through other than just taking small quick quiet breaths rather than long breaths? Or any airy noise capturing in general. Thank you! :)
Okey, but now you are still very quiet in discord/teams etc... how can you do this system wide? I know one low latency solution: Asio4all + VB-audio cable + Live monitoring in your DAW
Where in the chain would you put a gate? I'm going to save this video for streamer friends that are clueless. Nice and short so they will actually watch it and super easy to setup.
Before boosting imo, so gate -> digital gain -> compression -> limiter . You can ofc do it after digital gain, pretty much no difference. If you want to eq, do it before or after compression. I prefer after.
Great video. Thank you. Wish someone would make one on the settings on the rodecaster pro. Hint Hint 👀. But for real love your videos. You're the go to guy before buying a mic that is for sure.
So I think what I did was really weird and used lots of different things to get my voice to be louder in the mix while recording. I don't edit or mess with the game sound, I only edit the gameplay down to 15 minutes like 1-2 hour long recordings with lots of commentary,. I would not have the time to do so to go in and make things that sound lower higher, I have something setup to auto do that for me while I speak. I already use my mic on a low gain, at like 30-35 volume and use a program to remove background noise from the microphone, before, it even hits obs. I have no idea, if my audio sounds good though, I don't have, the right equipment to monitor sound, even headphones don't work the same it seems, it's hard to find the problem. I tried to get my microphone volume to match, other channels, that do the same content, I do, they seem to boost it, sounds way better then, what I'm doing, it sounds, even louder, then mine, people just watch them anyway because they have waaaaaaay more views. I think, they don't boost it live, that's the problem, I'm trying to boost the microphone live and add base and boost, treble and auto leveling live within obs, So I don't have to go in and bring the levels up, I think I'm going about it the wrong way but I'm not sure. A few people have seen my videos, I get no feed back, so I can't tell, if my audio levels are good or not, I applied this to the end of whatever, I do to boost my audio and it sounds better for sure and does not clip into the red anymore. I use things to bring down the game sound and then boosts the game sound so it sounds better overall,. but had the issue that my microphone even though it was hitting the red it would still sound lower then the game it made no sense at all to me. I could not figure out how to get my microphone to sound clear and louder then the game sound. I think this might have done the trick, not sure though, I will have to record a video, but this along with other things might just be what I needed. I used a windscreen, but that makes my voice sound muffled, I have one of those pop foam caps, I don't really know how that works since it seems like air /plosives still gets into the microphone " I don't talk directly into it" even background noise seems to get through, I don't think that is made to stop that, I have gates setup to stop it but they seem to fail the louder I get or if I speak normal it gets weird. I have thick hand made scrap Duro foam panels cheaply made around my room, it has helped with echo/reverb. I just don't have the money to buy anything else at the moment. I use a Audio Technica AT2035 xlr, I think when I bought it 6 years ago, it sounded way better then it does now. Another thing is it could be doing all this on one pc is causing software to fail. I'm thinking of using a old laptop doing everything on that then sending the audio through voice meter banana to my gaming pc when I get my stream pc setup, I would be able to do the same, I have a 2700x gaming pc and old amd 9590 pc that does not like windows 10 and runs High cpu usage, it's weird it would not let me record with obs would always get high encoding errors off cpu/gpu encoding, with a 750 ti gpu, I might get a cheap 980 or 1080 to fix that issue.
We do a live stream for our church, we first used an USB audio out on our sound board but when we upgraded our computer, the new computer wasn't 100% compatible with the sound board's usb. We ended up just using a normal left/right RCA cable audio out from soundboard into line in on the PC for our audio. Voices now sound fine but once the the piano starts we get for lack of better terms a tinny sounding distortion? Any advice?
You should make a video on how to apply this stuff for discord if you know how to. I believe eq apo and maybe peace with reaper plugins could work for that but I'm a bit of a potato when it comes to software stuff.
Low latency solution: Asio4all + VB-audio cable + Live monitoring in your DAW You would have VB-audio cable as output/listening device in your daw and input in discord etc
@@Martin__ Thanks for the info but I'm a visual learner so I find it quite hard to learn without seeing how it's done first. Maybe I'm just dumb lol. I do understand most of it though as I currently use voicemeeter with vb cable and I already have hardware that does all of the rest of the stuff I need it to do though so this might not be a bad idea to look into myself anyway :P.
@@WyattOShea Here is a quick runddown: 1. Open your DAW and select ASIO as device class in audio hardware. Select "ASIO4ALL v2" as device. 2. Configure device, press advanced view down in the bottom right corner and expand your interface and VB-Audio cable. 3. Select your mic and VB-Audio Cable Out. Here is what I selected imgur.com/a/hbDwbhL 4. Set I/O buffer to the same number in asio and DAW (I use 512). 4. Now select those (or default) on your track, and arm for record + monitor input. Now your mic should be outputted to VB-Audio OUtPUT in windows. Now you can add effects to your track :)
Thank you for the help! I’ve been looking for the correct settings for me because I play horror games on my TH-cam channel and this made my settings perfect! Thank you!
not sure if someone can help me but what should I do when using voicechat like discord or ingame voicechats? im way too quiet for everything that is not affected by obs filters. :(
This saved me for streaming/recording but now I'm super quiet on Discord and my friends can barely hear me. How can I digitally boost my mic on discord?
Will this work for Astro a40s mic? I can’t get my mic audio set right where I sound good, and don’t exceed in the red. (I’m not smart in the slightest bit when it comes to the settings like these lol) been searching months to find something and I just found this video. Will change it tomorrow regardless of a reply to see how it works
Can you compose a guide to nectar 3 vst with obs studio? I recently bought rode podmic and audient evo4, I don't really like the sound) The sound of the interface is set to 100%, but the smart gain is set to about 95%, but it seems to me that the sound is not saturated)Thank You=)
Question why is there no fan noise or any noise coming from your mic. im lost on this i have the mv7x along with the mvx2u and i can just hear every noise coming from my room the limiter and everything else is fine so far. just need audio help please.
Yo, can u review the cable creation sound card, in Amazon the product description states that it uses a HS-100b chip and I did some search and turns out the chip puts out around 4.5 volts so if u could test out the cable creation sound card it would be great. Thanks.
Do this only work with microphones like that? Because it made it worse for my headset microphone. :( I just can't figure out good settings for it at all.
I just notice that everytime when set a Noise Suppression filter in OBS Studio it cause the mic to be clipping when talking too loud or screaming, I dont know if its a bug or they need to fix it
Hi there! I love your videos and they helped me a lot improve the sound quality of my stream. But even using everything explained in this video I get weird "muffling" when I get really lound. I normally speak really quietly while streaming, but often get overly excited and scream. it's been hard to balance the lows and highs so they both sound good. I'm having this weird "muting" of my voice when I get too loud, like someone pushed the gain way low and you cant hear me anymore... and i cant tell if it's my actual AKG P120 mic clipping, or my Elgato Wave XLR having too little headroom, or something with my OBS settings... and i dont know how to go about isolating the problem. Do you have a video about how to debug this? thanks!

You have just solved something ive been having an issue with for a year and a half, game changer omg! subbed!
Buddy, I think you just blew everyones mind with these settings. Thank you for telling them straight that Gain doesn't = loudness
Came here to try and solve some odd muffled audio in my setup and you'll be pleased to know that even a year later it's still very helpful.

Still to this day the best tutorial about obs audio filters. I wish had added Noise gate/suppression/expander to the video though! Thank you Podcastage.
Oh, I have basically the same settings as you shared here, but without Limiter. Now it is there, even tho my streams are calm. Thank you Bandrew!
you should have the limiter just in case, you never know when something will happen and make you scream
Finally someone how knows how to set threshold, I see so many people saying put it at -35 which way too much compression -16 is a solid starting point.

Amazing video. Short and to the point. Thanks for sharing your insights!
Woah, I'm really learned a lot about digital gain and limiters, stuff I didn't know before man. Love the shirt vids!
Thank you for giving EXAMPLES in real time as you did the stuff. Proper tutorial

Would adding digital gain also increase de s/n ratio? So might as well just set the gain from the rare amo the correct way? Or am I just crazy? 🤕
Just got my first dynamic mic, and it's been a big learning process to get the sound right. You've helped greatly thank you :)
Literally been deciding that I want to be able to yell louder some and had “digital clipping” I believe it’s technically called but I already had a limiter on, and I noticed my gain knob was at 2 o clock. Already a very helpful video

Great video! Exactly what I was looking for without all the BS! Subscribed BTW!
Thank you! I’ll fix my settings for next time I stream and hopefully my viewers don’t run away cause of my excessively yucky sounding loud outbursts!
Thanks for this Bandrew! Going to share this with my shop so they can get a feel for what to do during a livestream.
Also, I'd love for you to show off the fact that you can put VST plugins in OBS! I find the RX-7/RX-8 voice denoise to be quite useful when I'm running a livestream for an event. Gates are also fantastic.

any difference between having a separate gain filter pre-compressor vs. using the compressor's output gain?
Brother, you showed the world everything these settings, thank you so much for this helpfull video. Greetings from germany.
thank you SOOOO MUCH i didnt know that about the analog vs digital gain. using the gain filter in obs made it soooo much better.
Thank you so much, back to this video after many years !!
You just solved all my Audio-Problems!! Thank you so much!!
this is the video that i really need from a long time ago!
This is the best video of the year. 🏆
i really thanks to you sir
you help me to resolve my samson c01u pro for clipping when i live stream
You da man, thank you! Finally a brief and clear explanation to the problem I’ve been battling the entire day yesterday. Mahalo breh 🤙🏽
Is there a setting to stop breathing noise from coming through other than just taking small quick quiet breaths rather than long breaths? Or any airy noise capturing in general. Thank you! :)
Will be trying this tonight. Turns out I get a little louder than I knew when excited 😂
Excellent tip. Anyone know off any recommendations for customizing sound on streamyard? Audio is a nightmare on that platform.
Awesome video man! Do you also put noise suppression?
You are talking exactly what I am looking for. Thanks, good guy.
Thank you so much I've been trying to fix my audio cause my scream or me speaking loudly gets cut off!

Okey, but now you are still very quiet in discord/teams etc... how can you do this system wide?
I know one low latency solution: Asio4all + VB-audio cable + Live monitoring in your DAW
EqualizerAPO, but VST support is somewhat limited. Works system-wide without any visible programs in task bar or tray.
I was literally searching for a video like this from you yesterday. Perfect timing!
If only the world was this on point! Load, aim, fire …. Bullseye 🎯
This video was so helpful that after I fixed my settings, I came back just to give it a like and leave this comment! :D

Where in the chain would you put a gate?

I tested today, and it’s better after the digital gain. It’s easier to set it this way

Really really useful. Been following your channel for quite some time. Your videos are amazing! The ones like this, are pure gold. Thank you!
Does not distort
Still sounds fine

I do understand most of it though as I currently use voicemeeter with vb cable and I already have hardware that does all of the rest of the stuff I need it to do though so this might not be a bad idea to look into myself anyway :P.
@@WyattOShea Completely understandable. I have not found a video that shows how you do it, maybe podcastage will pick up on it.
@@WyattOShea Here is a quick runddown:
1. Open your DAW and select ASIO as device class in audio hardware. Select "ASIO4ALL v2" as device.
2. Configure device, press advanced view down in the bottom right corner and expand your interface and VB-Audio cable.
3. Select your mic and VB-Audio Cable Out. Here is what I selected imgur.com/a/hbDwbhL
4. Set I/O buffer to the same number in asio and DAW (I use 512).
4. Now select those (or default) on your track, and arm for record + monitor input. Now your mic should be outputted to VB-Audio OUtPUT in windows.
Now you can add effects to your track :)
@@Martin__ Thanks for the info :).
Thank you for the help! I’ve been looking for the correct settings for me because I play horror games on my TH-cam channel and this made my settings perfect! Thank you!
thank you so much for making this
That’s so cool how you did it all live 🔥🔥🔥
I'll try this out..been looking for this.. thanks
not sure if someone can help me but what should I do when using voicechat like discord or ingame voicechats? im way too quiet for everything that is not affected by obs filters. :(
Thanks, I found this very helpful!
Im so glad i found this video. Massive help man
Really happy to know it helped. Happy streaming/recording.
This fixed my mic sounding really weird, would recommend this 100%
Do you ever use the WAVES CLA-2A plug in? If so what do you think of it
Gee these videos are fantastic and super helpful
Thank you so much! This was super helpful!
This saved me for streaming/recording but now I'm super quiet on Discord and my friends can barely hear me. How can I digitally boost my mic on discord?
Can you make a new OBS video like the best update settings for audio
This helped a helluva ton! Thank you
Great video again ✌️✌️✌️ Can you please review features and possible applications of Mackie Pro Fx6 v3 mixer
This is tremendously helpful. Thank you.
Love your tips
Great video thanks for your help! :)
Will this work for Astro a40s mic? I can’t get my mic audio set right where I sound good, and don’t exceed in the red. (I’m not smart in the slightest bit when it comes to the settings like these lol) been searching months to find something and I just found this video. Will change it tomorrow regardless of a reply to see how it works
Can you compose a guide to nectar 3 vst with obs studio? I recently bought rode podmic and audient evo4, I don't really like the sound) The sound of the interface is set to 100%, but the smart gain is set to about 95%, but it seems to me that the sound is not saturated)Thank You=)
Question why is there no fan noise or any noise coming from your mic. im lost on this i have the mv7x along with the mvx2u and i can just hear every noise coming from my room the limiter and everything else is fine so far. just need audio help please.
Yo, can u review the cable creation sound card, in Amazon the product description states that it uses a HS-100b chip and I did some search and turns out the chip puts out around 4.5 volts so if u could test out the cable creation sound card it would be great. Thanks.
Do this only work with microphones like that? Because it made it worse for my headset microphone. :( I just can't figure out good settings for it at all.
Question: why when I record a music band session in obs it sounds way cleaner and fuller than when I live stream on TH-cam?!?! 🤷🏽♂️
I love your channel. Thank you
Aren’t you raising the noise floor by 17db with this process?
No more than increasing your gain by 17dB on your interface.
I used the same settings as him but for some reason it's still peaking. Does the type of mic matter?
wow this helped so much! thank you!!
I just notice that everytime when set a Noise Suppression filter in OBS Studio it cause the mic to be clipping when talking too loud or screaming, I dont know if its a bug or they need to fix it
Thanks. You helped me a lot (AGAIN XD). Thank you so much Bandrew :D
Hi there! I love your videos and they helped me a lot improve the sound quality of my stream. But even using everything explained in this video I get weird "muffling" when I get really lound. I normally speak really quietly while streaming, but often get overly excited and scream. it's been hard to balance the lows and highs so they both sound good. I'm having this weird "muting" of my voice when I get too loud, like someone pushed the gain way low and you cant hear me anymore... and i cant tell if it's my actual AKG P120 mic clipping, or my Elgato Wave XLR having too little headroom, or something with my OBS settings... and i dont know how to go about isolating the problem. Do you have a video about how to debug this? thanks!
How can you do this to a already recorded sample in adobe premiere pro ? ty
