Step 1: Choose the Right Microphone and Connect Properly
Make sure you’re using a decent quality mic that fits your budget — USB mics like the Blue Yeti could be great for beginners. Connect it securely to your computer, and select it as your audio input device in OBS.
Step 2: Set Your Mic Volume Correctly in OBS
Go to OBS Settings > Audio, and select your microphone as the input device. Then, in the main OBS window, adjust the mic volume slider so your voice is clear without clipping (peaking into the red zone on the audio meter).
Step 3: Add Filters to Improve Sound Quality
OBS lets you add filters to your mic to reduce noise and improve clarity. Right-click your mic source, select Filters, and add the following:
- Noise Suppression: Reduces background noise like fans or keyboard sounds.
- Noise Gate: Cuts off mic sound when you’re silent to avoid unwanted noise.
- Compressor: Balances loud and soft sounds, making your voice consistent.
- Gain (optional): Boosts the mic volume if your voice is too quiet.
Experiment with filter settings to find what sounds best.
Step 4: Position Your Mic Properly
Experiment different positions of your mic from your mouth, to avoid breathing sounds. Use a pop filter or foam cover if possible to reduce popping noises.
In Conclusion
Improving your mic sound on OBS Studio doesn’t require expensive equipment — just good settings, placement, and some filters. Try these steps consistently, and hopefully you’ll notice a clear, professional sound that engages your audience!
