love all your OBS videos
keep it up :D

Your sound is so much better these days. You had some videos where the mic sounded too compressed. I've learned so much from your videos and applied it to my channel over the years. You and Podcastage have been the greatest influence on the audio quality of my streams. Thanks for everything! You deserve more subs and recognition.

I think this is the only tutorial on all of YouTube that covers OBS filters with actual knowledge and without winging it and choosing whatever settings work for their mic and calling it a day. Actually helped me, thank you!

[somewhatfrog]

8:10 there is, record your voice without any filters, add this recording as media source, enable monitoring on it, then apply and adjust filters on it in real time and see/hear what you like the most. Great tutorial!

[Bountynuma]

I have been struggling with audio for literal years at this point, and I can say without a doubt that this video has been the easiest to follow along, and the most effective one that I've ever watched on the topic.

Thank you so much for making this.

[DizConnected]

You are my go to source for OBS audio and video settings! Thank you for all your hard work!

[FramePerfectJump]

Such an amazing tutorial. You actually explain what everything is doing.

[Naaackers]

Perfect video that captures everything you need to know about setting up a great sounding stream and a dope sounding microphone. This will be the first place I send people to give them a great introduction into what it takes and how learn! Great video Epos, thank you.

[Denigirl]

I had been struggling with my audio as of late. And not only is this a great step by step video to get your audio sounding really clean and nice, but it also teaches you what all of these terms in all of the audio filters mean, so that from now on you understand how each one works and can make adjustments comfortably yourself! Thank you so much for this great resource!

MY MIC SOUNDS 1 MILLION TIMES BETTER, THANK YOU!!!!
I spent months and watched tons of vids to try to get my mic to sound good on obs. None of them has gotten my mic to sound so perfect as this video did!! I Love You Bro!😭🙏

[CrunchtimeDiego-bowy]

I've Been Putting off fixing my audio bc all the videos I saw over complicated things or tried to go to fast, expecting me to understand terms and concepts I had no idea about. this was simple, straight to the point, a very easy to follow along with

[Micalex]

As a "music producer", I always found adding a hi-pass filter to remove the extreme low end at the start nof your chain helps to get a cleaner signal for later compression and it also helps noise suppression to be a bit more precise as the extreme low end takes a lot more energy to be produce.

most of the time its just the low end that triggers your compressor and limiters.

[Mako_Racing]

I watched several videos that were alarmingly...not optimal...before finding this one. Really well done.

[KaveManZA]

Thanks to your video, I have learned a lot from using filters to control my sound and making it better. Appreciate it!

[Malforian]

After months of trying to get my audio better i rewatched this video following the steps one by one, then moving these setting sinto my GoXLR instead of OBS and I appreciate you so much Epos, finally i have audio that I like, especially after lowering the Gain on my SM7B to 52 and then adding back in Post, its so much cleaner sound and less annoying mouth/breathing pickup... literally makes me want to make a new video now for channel. Thanks for all your guides

[evaldas]

Ayyy, I've been waiting for this video to drop since OBS 29 came out!

Thank you!

[SebsDuran]

This is phenomenal. Gonna fix my audio today

[jolilottie]

thank you so so, so much for this! learning audio has been something of a crash course for me, and yours is the most helpful video I've found; I don't shy away from learning something new, but you've saved me from a lot of tears and frustration. (and thank you for including break reminders, I needed them and I'm probably not the only one!)

[AindriRealm]

I am a new streamer and have been having such a hard time trying out different settings to get a balance between my game audio, voice chat and ducking features. This solved it! Thanks for the tutorial!

[deepfrieddevelopment]

This video is crazy good! I had a bit of trouble setting up the ducking for my music based on the explanation given. For anyone having problems, I was trying to set the threshold around my talking voice and then nothing was happening, but it seems like you need to set the threshold lower than your talking voice, and when your voice crosses that line it will duck in relation to how far the line was crossed. As a loose example, if the voice is hovering around -8db, and you set your ducking compressor to have a threshold of -22db, then when you start talking it it will duck your music by ~12db. Maybe this is incorrect and the ratio is at play here as well, but that is what I observe.

Either way, thanks for the amazing video!
