Setting up OBS Studio mic settings and mic filters is something that might look complicated at first, but which is very straightforward when breaking it down. In this video, we'll add the 3-band equalizer filter, a compressor filter, expander filter, a limiter, we'll also remove background noise in OBS and at the end I will show you how to use OBS filters on Discord or in-game. All of these obs mic filters are the same in Streamlabs OBS, so you could follow this video for that program too.

IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH USING THE EFFECTS IN OTHER PROGRAMS:
1: download virtual cable ( 11:47)
2: enable ‘monitor and output’ for your mic in the advanced audio settings ( 06:17 )
3: set ‘cable input’ as your monitor device in your obs audio settings ( 12:10 )
4: select ‘cable output’ as your mic in whichever program ( 12:55 )
can you pls do a tutorial for mac or link a tutorial for virtual cable and your mic volume and stuff
Hello, the first part of the video works great. My only issue right now, is that i cant monitor my mic in OBS. Cant hear my own voice with this settings (was able to do it before the Cable VB
@@belvarty4785 yes the cable redirects the audio output and puts it into an audio input, theres no solution thats just how it is

Your content has really made getting set up as a newer streamer so much easier. Keep up the great work
This video is a gem, every other mic and OBS filter tutorial they just introduce the filters and none of them actually know what the parameters do. You explain how to adjust everything and how can you make things work perfectly, I could not be more grateful, thank you! And keep up with this excelent work 😁
First time I have ever seen a filter tutorial like this BOTH explain what everything does so you have a grasp on adjusting it yourself AND gives you sensible defaults. Thank you so much.
Been really trying to up my audio game especially being in 4K lately. This video does a great job unlike others in explaining the aspects of things like thresholds and gains detailing exactly what they do. Thank you @TheVideoNerd!
Hey man!
Great video like last time. Everything looks and sounds good this time around, and you do a really good job of explaining what every thing does. Even a complete beginner should be able to get a decent sounding stream with this.
I have no reason to expand on audio processing this time.
Keep up the good work!
I've watched several videos addressing this problem - not just quality but especially noise suppression, and yours is BY FAR the best I've seen. Liked and subbed. Thanks man. You made my $50 Blue Snowball sound like a $200 mic. Fantastic!
Did you uninstall the logitech ghub software?
This is the perfect tutorial, thank you. I've watched probably like 30 videos to this point and this is the ONLY one that worked for me and explained everything in a non-audiophile way.
Thanks for the comment bro, I will try it
I've watched a lot of videos about sound mixing in OBS, and you are by far the best and precise explanation available. Thank you!
I have an expensive mic - but my audio on stream compared to my video feeds was just, meh.
This video allowed me to final the flaws in my OBS setup and now, my mic sounds like honey. You saved me from impulse buying a new mic, and for that, you have my thanks!
Sometimes we forget the little things, but the little things make a huge difference!
My audio was terrible and I was too unfamiliar with all these settings to figure out why. This was such a clear and straightforward video to follow. Thank you so much for taking the time to make it!

@@Fit4C Cool.
Add compression, great imo
god died ? lol@@Fit4C
@@Fit4C STFU. Yall WEIRD FUCKS need to quit trying to FORCE the bible onto people. ITS FUCKING SICK AND SAD.
Thank you for this video! I went from never making a video in my entire life about 8 months ago to being on my 112th video and getting the sound right and audio synced has been the hardest part of figuring all of this out. Thank you for such a straightforward video. I can't wait to apply these settings and see how it affects my next video ❤
Every time I worried about you not talking about certain details, you immediately delivered right after. So helpful!
Just wanted to say thank you for sharing an updated video on this, the other video was quite a long time ago but it still holds well even in 2023. After following along with the video and tweaking with my microphone I did a couple of streams and people in my chat and my community have said that the quality is a lot better or in their words "it's like you've bought a new freakin' microphone!" and I don't blow peoples ear drums any more every time I scream or laugh which is a big improvement! :D
This video strikes an excellent balance between explanation and instruction. I now not only sound much better but I have a basic understanding of what each of the filters do. Thank you very much!
Thank you @TheVideoNerd. Started getting serious about streaming after my day job when I became a father(took the pandemic, fatherhood, finances, learning, etc.). Watching all you and all of your other GREATS videos. Awesome knowledge.
This is the best OBS tutorial I watched so far, I am terrible with adjusting these sounds settings, but your tutorial is really clear and easy to follow. Thanks a Mil.
Just really wanted to say thank you for this video. You explained everything super clearly and the instructions of what all the filters and setting do helped me to get set up so thank you again man. Amazing job!
This Is honestly such a well done and thorough video. explains what things are, why you need them, how to implement them and what they should sound like. Perfect
Thank you for the help so much! It was simple and quick, you didn't go into too much detail where it was confusing. Perfect balance! Thank you
Great setup tutorial. I just bought a HyperX Solocast as my first ever microphone to start streaming and was a bit disapointed by how much it was capturing my keyboard and mouse. Now with this configuration it's sounding way better. Thanks for the tips!
I used the last video a few days back and then this one dropped 7 hours ago. These videos have really helped me and you explain things so well. Thanks for the quality content 👌
im with you! :)
I have so much appreciation for your videos. They're really easy to follow, and it's making me feel way more confident streaming.
Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video bro! This one plus a few other of your vids have made my streaming experience on OBS just a thousand times better honestly. And these settings have made my mic sound remarkably much better! Keep up the awesome work and thank you once again! ^_^
Your content has really made getting set up as a newer streamer so much easier. Keep up the great work!!!
This video is so helpful. I think this might have solved every mic sound problem I was having. Thank you!
Super straight forward and easy. You gave simple explanations for the approaches and why. Everything was easy to follow and was engaging. Thanks!!!
😁
This was fantastic. Thank you for making such a clear, detailed instructional video! Can't wait to look through your other content based on this outstanding example!
the noise suppresion just makes it really good, thank you so much for the infromation!
Thank you SO much for this!! You’ve helped me transform my £60 mic to sounding like a £200+ mic! My voice before was really hollow, but now my voice literally sounds like a “podcast” voice lol love it!!
Super helpful thank you!
Man, This is the best explanation of all these concepts I've seen on TH-cam. Concise and to the point as well. Thanks!😁
this video'll blow up just as big. It's just too handy. I'll probably watch it another 5 times just so I get the step-by-step process right after having upgraded my rig and needing to re-configure everything.
the speaking correctly into the mic is such a no brainer at first glance, but then it turns out that the reason my mic sounded muddy asf is exactly because of that, and the quality was way better at an angle from the top. No one else bothers to mention this advice so ty
Thanks for the help! Straightforward and very easy to understand! Was having problems by installing just a noise gate and took a long time to realise it cut out the beginning of my sentences everytime!
Thank you for the tutorial, it's actually works !!
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much! ❤
I feel the love. love heart you back you old toad. Old bean!
Super super helpful, thanks! I've followed step by step multiple times when setting up various different mics. One thing though... the virtual cable thing didn't work for me and messed up all my inputs and stuff, I had to remove it and redo a bunch of settings.
Great video this mate 👍🏻
you fixed 90% of my problems and questions of Obs, thank you so much
Here I am watching at 3 AM finding this super useful. Going to adjust the microphone in the morning
If these filters are possible to do natively in Voicemeeter instead of having to pipe it thru OBS as well a link (or video for that) would be greatly appreciated :) Great explanations of each filter and what/why/how!
is it possible? was wondering the same because the default windows device is still the "raw" microphone
The amount of times I've had to come back to this video to adjust my sound settings is crazy. Thank you for this.
I'm such an audio nerd and I love learning about different setting and filters and how to improve my microphone and speaker settings. thanks for the great video.
Great tutorial for OBS.
A tip for people out there. The VST 2 plugin called Frontier by d16 does (sort of) take care of everything at once like the expander, compressor, gain, saturation, and primarily the limiter stuff all in one box with only two knobs. I think that's pretty neat.
thank you so much man,do you know any tutorials for that?
Thank you so much dude! I just subbed!
I just made some changes thanks to your video. not exactly the same way but took the steps you showed me. I love that my audio is sounding more professional. Now I have to work on my content and editing. THANKS for your informative video!!!!
I literally just started my first stream earlier today. I recently bought the basics and did a stream just to try it out. I initially thought it was much easier and would all work through TH-cam, and was keyed into OBS by a coworker. This video alone (including the sponsor) is SUPREMELY helpful on so many levels. I can’t wait to hop back on the pc and make these adjustments, try out the sponsor, and to be less of a noob at streaming 😂 easy sub. Cheers mate.
What would you suggest these filters or the reaper plugins filers?
Your video does make everything so much easier btw. I am going to use this guide for now. But for future reference could you tell me why others use the reaper plugins instead? I don't mind getting more technical with my setup so if you could highlight the major difference "Performance wise" it would really be cool to know.
Perfect video. I purchased the mic on sale yesterday and will be tuning it, following your video for the best setup.
Very good video! You gave me all the help I needed, and even more. Now I have a clear noisefree audio!
@The Video Nerd, I am having a slightly different issue to what you described in this video. So a little background, I wanted to set up an audio source in OBS to record audio directly from my headphones for 2 purposes: 1) recording single player gameplay with live commentary so I didnt have to worry about my mic picking up game sounds from my tv's audio set up (subwoofer and a couple of speakers that are about 3 ft in front of where i'm sitting) and 2) for recording multiplayer gameplay where all I really need is to capture what my friends are saying in a Discord voice channel. I ran a test on this thinking that if i am capturing a Desktop Audio source, that that would give me my game sounds, and then if I also captured the Headset Audio source at the same time, then I'd have a near identical track of gameplay audio + any voice communications captured in discord. The idea being that if both tracks were more or less identical, I could mute or delete one track in the editing software and enhance what i needed to in the headphones track to make speech sound good without sacrificing the sounds of the gameplay. When I ran a test on this both with and without the invert polarity filter, i ran into a major problem: OBS isnt capturing the gameplay audio through my headphones. This is with the desktop audio capture source active. it comes out at a very low volume, extremely choppy and in short, there is nothing i can do to clean that track up in post. its just too far gone. if i record with the invert polarity filter active, i get absolutely nothing. not even the choppiness i got in the first test. What do I do about this? I tried using the Discord Streamkit widget for voice, and I dont like that because i don't get a visual decibel bar in OBS to confirm that it is working. I tried installing Voicemeeter Banana to do it that way for discord voice audio capture and that just wrecked my pc's audio settings and it took me three days to figure out where the problem was to fix it and get my headset working again. The application capture beta source in OBS doesnt work either because it won't give me an option to select a voice channel for it to capture from. I'm at a bit of a loss here. what am i doing wrong and how do i fix it? I really kind of have a need for content creation to have this kind of a setup, but as it currently exists, its kind of letting me down pretty badly, and thats without mentioning the popping and crackling that shows up on the track when i send the file to my editing software that didnt exist in OBS when I set up my microphone and headphones and applied all the necessary filters to get a good baseline recording. Please help

Don't forget to assign your sources as separate tracks (1-6)
Have you found a solution for 2)?
There is a media source in OBS that you can add which is named sth like "audio-output-recording". Did you use that to record the game sounds and everything else you are hearing in your headset?
The virtual cable thing isn’t working for me at all. I put the monitoring output to monitor and output and followed every direction and it doesn’t work in xbox parties discord or anything just obs. Please help!
Thank you for the detailed explanations and real-time examples! They were a HUGE help in setting up (as well as understanding what I was doing at each step) - fantastic video!
You sir are a sound magician. Got my Rode Wireless to sound crystal clear using OBS. Could never get a great sound but your instructions in this video was all I needed. Thank you so much.
The first part of the guide worked perfectly! The last part to use the filters with the vb audio cable did not. I made sure to restart my pc just in case that would help any and still discord does not pick up the mic at all. I feel like this may have something to do within the sound control panel settings since I've used voice meter banana before.
I found out that you have to have OBS up in the background for the VB audio cable to transfer through to discord
Go to OBS, click on the setting icon on your mic (the three vertical dots icon at the end of your mic green bar) , select "Advance Audio Properties" and then in the drop-down menu named "Audio Monitoring" of you mic select "Monitor and Output". That should fix it for Discord or any app using OBS audio output via the virtual cable.
@@drcylon thanks that helped to hear it but my mic now sounds super choppy for some reason do you know a fix to that?
@@swagmaster287I disabled all automatic noise filters in discord settings to get the mic to sound like it does in OBS
@@drcylon This did the trick! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!
Omg thanks so much for this updated vid! It was really helpful!!
My one question is for the Virtual Cable link to Discord - you noted to have 'Monitor & Output' on when switching the Monitoring Device, but now I can't hear my Alert Sounds since I'd set that to Monitor & Output too so I could hear them while I stream.
Is there a fix around this? Or do I have to keep toggling the Monitoring Device setting when using either programs?
Great vid. When I setup my mic in Premiere I just kind of threw some compression and other filters on until I could hear my voice loud and clear but not too loud. It sounds ok to me but probably not as good as it could be. This vid helped me setup streaming audio and I actually made me understand what each thing does and why I am adding it! Thanks!
I've set this up but I'm just thinking, does this mean u need to have OBS open at all times for discord to apply the mic settings from VB Cable?
yes sir
Yeah, I'm also hearing a constant play back of my voice which makes it impossible to talk or hear myself. If I mute it, it mutes my mic everywhere.
@@1UPvocalcovers You're monitoring on the wrong audio source.
After applying these effects and using them in a video, I got really poor feedback from my audience on the sound. And now I've gone back to removing them all and post editing my audio. It would be great if you explain the audio clipping in more detail as this destroyed the audio quality of my recording. Also it seems important that when you have all these settings on you have to stay super still and close to the mic.
I haven't had any clipping nor did I have to stay still or close to the mic while streaming. Did mess around with the EQ? You are supposed to make sure it sounds good to you first.
so you just went and copied all the settings that he used and then complained about how your audio quality started to suck?! LMAOOOOOOOOOO
You clearly did something wrong.
@delightfuldesign not all mic's are same, you have to listen to yourself and adjust the settings, next time don't skip anything and watch a full video before blaming someone :)
Can I ask which program you used to adjust? Idk how to do it
This tutorial is so good that I've come back to it multiple times as a reference tool. Amazing work, friend - and thank you!
Goat! Thanks bro, been using your guide for years. One issue I had, when enabling Nvidia noise suppression, Streamlabs would completely freeze. A user on Reddit said to turn off disable hardware accelerated gpu scheduling. I did that and fixed the problem.
When I tried using virtual cable, awhile back, maybe 2 years ago, I'd have random issues. Mic would work, then sometimes it's just static. Unsure about trying now, but I really want to try that 3 band, plug in
what if I have a nvidia card and those option on noise suppression don't show up?
same here
RTX
you need to install a certain thing to use the noise suppression. cant remember what its called. It's like nvidia broadcast or something like that.
After using all these settings my audio still sounds horrible please help
Try going to your sound settings, then click on the microphone your using, and turn off the audio enhancements setting
What kind of mic are you using
at that point buy a new one lmaoo theres no one saving your mic
Get a better mic

THANKYOU, this helped massively, new mic sounds crisp now!
dude, your videos have been helping me set up my youtube studio for over 2 years. every time I buy a new mic, instead of trying to recycle my filters I just pull up your videos and build a new filter profile by scratch. I've watched several other OBS tutorials and they none of them are as good as yours you should be proud of yourself.
Awesome video, been working on trying to get my stuff sounding decent and you helped ALOT so thanks!
Thanks a lot man! I've been messing around with mic setting for ever and this really helped me out!!!
Thank you for this :D Awesome tutorial - very simple and easy to understand (not just "do this", but actually take the time to explain). Very much appreciated!
