Very nice video... as a pro sound engineer my only quibble is the expander should be first, the compressors drop the difference between BG and Vox, bringing up the noise floor, so you help the expander differentiate between them by letting it see the raw signal, then you can compress harder without any noise...
Thank you. The reason for the expander being last was to get more consistent gating via the compressed audio. Also the expander will not remove any extra background noise as it would only attenuate all audio below the set threshold. If you added a compressor after the expander, the attentuation would be largely nullified due to adding make-up gain. Now there is no wrong or right way, many hardware units like a DBX 286 have the expander/gate at the start of the signal chain. But like I mentioned, the reason for putting it last was that I found from testing that the only difference I seen was that the gating from a Gate or an Expander to me sounded more natural and pleasing when put after the compressor.

i learn a lot from this video. You are the first video that talk about using expander. most tell you to use noisegate for to get rid of background noise.
Technically an expander is a noise gate, but with ratio based audio attenuation instead of a hard gate. But yea so many use a gate and I have and they can be better in a very noise heavy environment. But they can sound harsh. Its more of using the right tool for the job. :-)

Pretty sure you want expander at the start of the chain. If you compress/normalize your source audio first, then expander will have a less dynamic input to more effectively cut background noise.
Really an awesome information. You have proved " human is the best solution to human's problems" Please walk and exercise as we need you to help people for centuries. God bless you sir.

That was spot on reallly helped as i have a deeep voice and i suffer from it sounding muddy in the mix with my previous settings on a stream and this tutorial helped me sound clear loud enough and less muddy
finally a video that actually made my mic not sound like shit. it sounds stupid good now. i must of downloaded a dozen apps that make it ''sound better'' before discovering you're video. i stuck to your exact settings and they are crisp. i just got a razer seiren elite and default it is dogshit. thank you brother for this. next time someone needs mic settings for there stream ill be damn sure to send them here first. 10/10
great video, this helped me out a lot. my mic was still a little quiet in the end but I added some gain with the original gain filter in OBS and it sounds great now.

So helpful, it really helped me alot. My mic is veery low on its own so I had to add the gain from obs to make it sound louder. Can I make my mic louder with using your plugins and not gain from obs?
Generally you want you input gain to be hitting between -18 and -12dB. With only hitting -6dB if you are yelling. If you watch the video you will notice where I increase the gain and use compression to help from clipping as well.
Fantastic video Joe many thanks. If you are getting a little of clipping at the front end what would you suggest. I struggle with the noise gates. Only problem is everything resets!!
Excellent Video! I wish wider was so simple! I could not get my OBS to see it. I installed it in multiple folders, rebooted OBS, everything lol. Any thoughts? Am I alone with this issue?
Joe, thanks so much for your tutorial on the plug-ins for OBS. Your instruction was excellent. I could understand every word; which is something I cannot say for a large percentage of the videos on TH-cam. The only thing lacking in your tutorial was how to save the settings for the plug-ins. Perhaps there is something already in OBS but if there is I have not been able to find it. This requires another 30 minutes of setting up every time OBS is shut down for any reason. what's the answer? The plug-ins your recommended are excellent and your tutorial is clear.

This made my blue yeti sound reallyyy good. But the expander can also be replaced by the noise gate. And OBS's new noise suppression (RNNoise) does a fantastic job. I think the RNNoise and noise gate do a better job than the expander. Also, the SlickEQ is amazing but it doesn't do the "sweep" I've seen on other EQ tutorials. I've made an EQ with the sweep, but the SlickEQ version presented here actually made me sound better. I honestly don't know why though lol.
An expander is a gate, but a gate is not an expander. Gates have a hard open and close on them which can lead to your audio sounding choppy. Where as an exapnder has a more varible open and close that is based on the incoming signal. Which leads them to sounding more transparent. That said some really good gates like FabFilters ProG gate has the option for a soft knee which can do the same thing and can also be transparent and great sounding. I personally use Primary Source Expander from Waves. Its technically more of a gate despite the name, but it has a super soft knee built in and just works and sound great.
@@JoeJacksonJr Awesome. Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I've noticed the hard gate on OBS free reaper noise gate plugin. Any way you can do a tutorial for a soft, high quality gate/noise/expander? That's for free? :)
@@skyhr The built in expander in OBS is the best free one.. For some reason, despite these plugins being fairly simple compared to others they all seem to cost quite a bit for what they are. Like I mentioned I use PSE from Waves, but its like $79 USD.
This is an excellent tutorial and not very taxing on the system. My only issue was that I had a bit of noise so I applied noise reduction in addition to all your suggestions.
very good! I couldnt quite work out how to remove all clicks and dumb down my air con, so I put a the suppression and noise gate filters at hte top which seemed to do the job
*_FYI This tutorial is for regular OBS Studio and not Streamlabs OBS. Streamlabs OBS has its own internal issues with VST plugins.._* ALSO Install the Plugins into their installers DEFUALT installation folder. OBS will be looking at those folders for any VST2 plugins. If you install them anywhere else OBS will not see them.
@@rankerhowl9910 I honestly have no idea what they done to the code. Its something to do with them changing the code in OBS when they customized it.. You would honestly have to contact their support to get a better answer.
Yea a good number of people including myself wish VM had a way to use VST plugins.. IMHO thats what is missing the most from it. You can however use the patch inputs/outputs to send it over to a DAW or a stand alone VST container like Element. But its buggy and adds a good bit of latency.
@@OfficialRDB I've also started using Cantible today. How's your experience with it? I only use 1vst in it right now, but for now the experience seems great, and there's no noticable delay for me.
For that OP clicky keyboard sounds, I also added the OBS Noise Suppression filter as it now has "RNNoise" (higher quality) option. This 100% kills that keyboard clicks even when my MIC is placed alongside it.
Bro, I been streamin' since 2014 and by far you and just maybe 2 other TH-camrs I know put out detailed quality information on audio. I would be honored if I even influenced you to make better content. Thank you for even giving me a reply /Bow your audio info will make my storytelling on Twitch so much more epic. I'm not a religious man but God bless your heart
Thank you! I had several problems with my audio and no clue on how to solve them, and this video pretty much got everything fixed (even stuff i didn't knew needed attention)!

Stumbled across this and even though I don't have a mic yet, the way it is presented and explained just says you know what you're saying. Some people like the clicky sound that keyboards make, so is there a good way to enhance that sound and not compress it? Would I need to higher the Threshold in Expander?
First of all sir, I'm grateful I found this video ... everything you guided was top-notch. However, I am struggling with the SlickEQ thing as I have Alienware 310H Boom Mic and not condenser so I am getting a Duh Duh sound when I say ... Please suggest for the boom mic! Thanks!

Good tutorial. Take it one step further and download Equalizer APO. You can put the same filters in that and it will work with all your audio like discord, facebook messenger, obs, skype ect...
@@Auzuly Forgive if my knowledge is incorrect, but an alternative to an Expander could be the noise gate built into Voicemeeter Applications (Banana, Potato etc.). It's a virtual audio mixer and works very well, it also includes 6 band EQ, basic compression and support for sending audio streams over your network - I use this for my dual PC streaming setup!
Excellent video. Question after the description of the issue. I have a cheap mic from Amazon brand new, before the settings and plug ins there is snare drum spring sound at the end on me speaking and it did not go away after the plug in set up. First, do you understand the snare drum sound I'm describing? And second, have you heard this before, and how did you get rid of it? Or do I just need to save up and buy a better mic?

Would you recommend using a Limiter filter with all of these as well to help with peaking? I think Kotelnikov does the trick well enough on the compression that maybe I do not have to worry about it but I was curious to get your thoughts.

You are a life saver, i have a rode condenser and didnt understand why it was sounding so flat when i stream.. Now i can setup some good quality streams!
Joe, thanks for thos video tut. I am going to begin implementing this immediately for our church's live stream. Should make a huge improvement in our audio quality.

I do not have much experience on mic setup but this that I follow really does help improve my audio recording quality thank you so much
Pretty sure you want expander at the start of the chain. If you compress/normalize your source audio first, then expander will have a less dynamic input to more effectively cut background noise.
Really an awesome information. You have proved " human is the best solution to human's problems" Please walk and exercise as we need you to help people for centuries. God bless you sir.
Thanks a lot for this precious information. However, I'm using OBS on MAC and I wonder if you could explain how to install those Plugins from Tokyo Dawn etc... Thank you so much.
IIRC, Tokyo Dawn Labs has the plugins updated for the latest release of MacOS. Though I am not sure about the others..
This video is extremely undervalued and under appreciated! Bro this tutorial is a forever go to! Thank you, thank you, thank you dude! I crushed that thumb and destroyed the subscribe button! Three years later and this should be a streamers go to!
The best video I've seen on how to improve audio. Very detailed. Thank you so much.

You never think about how bad your audio sounds until someone shows you how much better it can get. Thank you :)
My pleasure!
this by far the greatest tutorial for me since i am currently using cheap USB Mic, it really make it sound amazing.
Glad it helped!
That was spot on reallly helped as i have a deeep voice and i suffer from it sounding muddy in the mix with my previous settings on a stream and this tutorial helped me sound clear loud enough and less muddy
finally a video that actually made my mic not sound like shit. it sounds stupid good now. i must of downloaded a dozen apps that make it ''sound better'' before discovering you're video. i stuck to your exact settings and they are crisp. i just got a razer seiren elite and default it is dogshit. thank you brother for this. next time someone needs mic settings for there stream ill be damn sure to send them here first. 10/10
great video, this helped me out a lot. my mic was still a little quiet in the end but I added some gain with the original gain filter in OBS and it sounds great now.

Many thanks for this tutorial and explanation, this was very usefull to me.
Wow, what a great video, it really improved my bm800 audio quality, you just earned a sub
Bloody legend! The problem is that the default plug ins that are given in OBS are not the greatest, and unless you know about VTS plugins people dont know.
Thank you.. BTW I have an updated video here: th-cam.com/video/14VTTp7HVvc/w-d-xo.html
@@JoeJacksonJr I saw it too. I'm also working on an even more updated one myself.
@@JoeJacksonJr I tweeked a few things and added one more plugin to help with a few problems for people who have not optimized room settings.

@@JoeJacksonJr cool. Thx!
So helpful, it really helped me alot. My mic is veery low on its own so I had to add the gain from obs to make it sound louder. Can I make my mic louder with using your plugins and not gain from obs?
Generally you want you input gain to be hitting between -18 and -12dB. With only hitting -6dB if you are yelling. If you watch the video you will notice where I increase the gain and use compression to help from clipping as well.
Fantastic video Joe many thanks. If you are getting a little of clipping at the front end what would you suggest. I struggle with the noise gates. Only problem is everything resets!!
Excellent Video! I wish wider was so simple! I could not get my OBS to see it. I installed it in multiple folders, rebooted OBS, everything lol.
Any thoughts? Am I alone with this issue?
Thank you my sound is fantastic now with the FiFine T669 mic. However my blue keys are very loud. time for a different keyboard 😀
Just barely started watching the video and I liked it already because your audio and voice sounds amazing.
Wow, thank you!
For me this is the beast tutorial for Obs with this plugin, thanks.
Thanks, Joe. How do I improve my sound in a video recording?
Thanks for sharing.
I have a video for DaVinci Resolve if interested. th-cam.com/video/MbP6wtkeSsw/w-d-xo.html
@@JoeJacksonJr thank you. I am in class already.
Joe, thanks so much for your tutorial on the plug-ins for OBS. Your instruction was excellent. I could understand every word; which is something I cannot say for a large percentage of the videos on TH-cam. The only thing lacking in your tutorial was how to save the settings for the plug-ins. Perhaps there is something already in OBS but if there is I have not been able to find it. This requires another 30 minutes of setting up every time OBS is shut down for any reason. what's the answer? The plug-ins your recommended are excellent and your tutorial is clear.
Excellent tutorial Joe, thank you.

This made my blue yeti sound reallyyy good.
But the expander can also be replaced by the noise gate. And OBS's new noise suppression (RNNoise) does a fantastic job. I think the RNNoise and noise gate do a better job than the expander.
Also, the SlickEQ is amazing but it doesn't do the "sweep" I've seen on other EQ tutorials. I've made an EQ with the sweep, but the SlickEQ version presented here actually made me sound better. I honestly don't know why though lol.
An expander is a gate, but a gate is not an expander. Gates have a hard open and close on them which can lead to your audio sounding choppy. Where as an exapnder has a more varible open and close that is based on the incoming signal. Which leads them to sounding more transparent. That said some really good gates like FabFilters ProG gate has the option for a soft knee which can do the same thing and can also be transparent and great sounding.
I personally use Primary Source Expander from Waves. Its technically more of a gate despite the name, but it has a super soft knee built in and just works and sound great.
@@JoeJacksonJr Awesome. Thanks for the reply.
Yeah, I've noticed the hard gate on OBS free reaper noise gate plugin. Any way you can do a tutorial for a soft, high quality gate/noise/expander? That's for free? :)
@@skyhr The built in expander in OBS is the best free one.. For some reason, despite these plugins being fairly simple compared to others they all seem to cost quite a bit for what they are. Like I mentioned I use PSE from Waves, but its like $79 USD.
The best obs plugin tutorial in youtube! You know your stuff, thank you man!
This is an excellent tutorial and not very taxing on the system.
My only issue was that I had a bit of noise so I applied noise reduction in addition to all your suggestions.
How did you apply noise reduction? I'm facing a similar issue.
@@RedPilledGamerTV Me too especially for Mac.
I always streamed with my blue yeti "raw" as it is and already sounded ok, I can't wait to try doing some EQ for the first time ever!
2023 still relevant and usefull, thanks.
That's a pro approach. Wish I saw and done this tutorial before. Thank you very much!
very good! I couldnt quite work out how to remove all clicks and dumb down my air con, so I put a the suppression and noise gate filters at hte top which seemed to do the job
*_FYI This tutorial is for regular OBS Studio and not Streamlabs OBS. Streamlabs OBS has its own internal issues with VST plugins.._*
ALSO Install the Plugins into their installers DEFUALT installation folder. OBS will be looking at those folders for any VST2 plugins. If you install them anywhere else OBS will not see them.
Why exactly will this not work with streamlabs? What do I need to do if I am using streamlabs to get this to work?
@@rankerhowl9910 I honestly have no idea what they done to the code. Its something to do with them changing the code in OBS when they customized it.. You would honestly have to contact their support to get a better answer.
There's a reason it's abbreviation is SLOBS...
I wish I can use these plugins especially sidechain compression with TDRNova on Voicemeeter Banana while I record my gameplay.
Yea a good number of people including myself wish VM had a way to use VST plugins.. IMHO thats what is missing the most from it. You can however use the patch inputs/outputs to send it over to a DAW or a stand alone VST container like Element. But its buggy and adds a good bit of latency.
@@JoeJacksonJr Jep i use Cantabile for my VST plugins. Having all that in VM will be great!
@@OfficialRDB I've also started using Cantible today. How's your experience with it? I only use 1vst in it right now, but for now the experience seems great, and there's no noticable delay for me.
For that OP clicky keyboard sounds, I also added the OBS Noise Suppression filter as it now has "RNNoise" (higher quality) option. This 100% kills that keyboard clicks even when my MIC is placed alongside it.
Yea I honestly havnt tested the new RNN out.. If I make an update video I will see about adding that into the mix. :-)
Bro, I been streamin' since 2014 and by far you and just maybe 2 other TH-camrs I know put out detailed quality information on audio. I would be honored if I even influenced you to make better content. Thank you for even giving me a reply /Bow your audio info will make my storytelling on Twitch so much more epic.

Stumbled across this and even though I don't have a mic yet, the way it is presented and explained just says you know what you're saying. Some people like the clicky sound that keyboards make, so is there a good way to enhance that sound and not compress it? Would I need to higher the Threshold in Expander?
First of all sir, I'm grateful I found this video ... everything you guided was top-notch. However, I am struggling with the SlickEQ thing as I have Alienware 310H Boom Mic and not condenser so I am getting a Duh Duh sound when I say ... Please suggest for the boom mic! Thanks!

Great tutorial for a single condenser microphone. Our challenge is trying to get the best settings for recording a church live stream through a condenser microphone. Do you have a video that would cover this. All of our recordings don't have enough lows.
This is what I been looking for. Great explanation, straight to the point.
Thank you so much, Joe, excellent tutorial! A life saver!!
Glad it helped!
Amazing tutorial - tks a lot! Learned more in this hour going through each setting than in the last month trying to find some help in blog posts!
thank you so much for this joe! Bought my first condesnor microphone just recently and was looking for better settings and this tutorial worked perfectly!. much appreciated!

Good tutorial. Take it one step further and download Equalizer APO. You can put the same filters in that and it will work with all your audio like discord, facebook messenger, obs, skype ect...
Do you know of an Expander plugin for APO? The one used in the video is built in to OBS.
@@Auzuly Forgive if my knowledge is incorrect, but an alternative to an Expander could be the noise gate built into Voicemeeter Applications (Banana, Potato etc.). It's a virtual audio mixer and works very well, it also includes 6 band EQ, basic compression and support for sending audio streams over your network - I use this for my dual PC streaming setup!
@@Auzuly Yeah. Reaplugs. (Reaper VST)
Excellent video. Question after the description of the issue.
I have a cheap mic from Amazon brand new, before the settings and plug ins there is snare drum spring sound at the end on me speaking and it did not go away after the plug in set up.
First, do you understand the snare drum sound I'm describing? And second, have you heard this before, and how did you get rid of it? Or do I just need to save up and buy a better mic?
Does the REAFir plug-in accomplish the same function as the Expander? If they're different, does the REAFir plug-in add anything?? Solid work!
I searched for this for a year now! Thank you very much!!! Much love

Would you recommend using a Limiter filter with all of these as well to help with peaking? I think Kotelnikov does the trick well enough on the compression that maybe I do not have to worry about it but I was curious to get your thoughts.
I actually do.. I use TDR Limiter 6 GE from Tokyo Dawn Labs.. Its not free. But its what I use for OBS and also in DaVinci Resolve.
