[leonardi_car]

Amazing!!!! big different in the quality! wow!

[InternationalCoachingInstitute]

Waooo!! Amazing!! I did it and it works? Andrew, there's a way to achieve the same through User Patches using Garage Band?

[BURTBROWN]

Yes it did, but I must say there was a lot of sibilence in the Yeti after processing. Easily corrected with EQ and other processors. Thanks for this video!!!

Cheap one sounded better after editing, but I'm assuming the expensive one was not enhanced?


Brilliant man, thanks to guys like you people like me can actually get good results 🙏

Many thanks!

Short answer: You can't make a cheap mic sound better, but you can tweak poor audio files to fake sounding better just like your favorite singer.

I could also recommend a de-esser as boosting trebles and using default audacity compression makes the "s" sounds more present in the audio.

[MrPhilsAlabamaHotSauce]

I think the less expensive mic sounded suitable after the corrections. I do ja r a queation....I use a wireless usb mic for video recording. On my phone, gain is not adjustable. Can you put any device in the process to reduce gain while recording?

Is there software to make your mic sound better during live streams. On twitch via OBS?

[AllisterWilliamsTV]

The professional mic sounds naturally smoother, but the enhanced Yeti is a close second. It's just a tad bit too strong on the bass. But I love the comparison

[siddharthapictures]

I listened the end of the results but they still both didn’t sound like your main audio at the beginning of the tutorial.. how have you enhanced the audio even further?

[mrkthompsn]

Is there a Garageband equivalent set of instructions to doing this?

[serjiocarapia]

oh this is for post audio files not for live audio

[noorielhadi]

USB mic Definitely sounded better after the effects were applied
