1. Gain Adjustment: Increase the Mic Volume
The initial gain value can be set to 5dB to increase the output. Be careful not to increase the gain too much to avoid amplifying background noise.
2. Noise Suppression: Reduce Background Noise Interference
OBS's built-in "Noise Suppression" filter effectively reduces environmental noise, like fan or keyboard sounds, enhancing audio purity. However, for capturing sudden high-volume sounds (e.g., screams during horror games streaming), disabling this feature helps to prevent audio distortion.
3. Limiter: Prevent Audio Peaks
The limiter ensures a stable audio signal by setting a maximum volume threshold, avoiding pops caused by excessive microphone input volume, which is suitable for live streaming of high dynamic range content.
4. Equalizer: Improve Sound Performance
@HunterTheHill suggests using a "Three-band EQ" to fine-tune audio based on voice characteristics and preferences. For instance, to polish a deep voice, increase highs by 1dB for clarity, reduce mids by 1dB to cut muddiness, and boost bass by 2dB for added richness.
5. Compressor: Balance the Dynamic Range of Volume
The compressor automatically ensures consistent volume levels, whether whispering or shouting, making it flawless for extended podcasting or recording sessions.
