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.
False. With the Yeti USB Mic, you can change the frequencies from low,mid, and high end. Lower the low end, you get more clarity out the mic, up the mid it gives you more vocal presence, up the high end it gives you more air and clarity. although a usb mic can’t really compare to xlr/studio mics, in terms of making music, there’s always a loop hole to sounding better and having a better mix
@@imgoingkuu So are you doing the change on the mic by modifying the hardware or in software on a computer? Because software isn't making the mic better.
@@IMCODERED Using LGHUB changes the frequencies of the mic. it’s kinda like a simple eq for the mic.
@@imgoingkuu So not actually doing anything to make the mic better? That is exactly my point. You are manipulating the audio not the hardware.
@@IMCODERED at no point was it about making the mic better, it’s about making it “sound better” that absolutely does not have anything to do with the hardware, rather it doesn’t need to be. Because every single mic creates audio files, if you are changing the audio being recorded from the mic, it’s still making the mic sound better. You are arguing a pointless argument
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!!!
Thank you Burt for the comment
Thanks!! :)
No problem!
Great job
Thank you sir
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?
Not that I am aware of, but what you could do is put a couple of socks ( yes the ones you wear ) over the mic, this will help with the popping sounds and lower the high end of the mic a little - that's a little hack for you - best if you wash em first
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!
I never using any audio processing, I have the equipment to do it, but I just can't be bothered setting it all up and going through all the steps to do it, I'm a just plug it in and get the job done quickly kind of guy. Thank you for taking the time to comment!
@@CourseBuildersAcademy awesomeness! Thanks for getting back to me 🤠👌
Is there software to make your mic sound better during live streams. On twitch via OBS?
You would have to run the audio through something like a DBX 286 but you will need a XLR mic
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?
I have a sound treated room with no reverb
I could also recommend a de-esser as boosting trebles and using default audacity compression makes the "s" sounds more present in the audio.
What are s sounds? Like when you speak ? And make an s sound?
@@soneshanmoodley7703 Yeah, everything related to "essing" sounds you do.
Sometimes it can saturate the mic
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
Thank you Allister!
Gratitude 🙏
You are so welcome
Is there a Garageband equivalent set of instructions to doing this?
I've never used Garageband - sorry
USB mic Definitely sounded better after the effects were applied
thanks
oh this is for post audio files not for live audio
Live is a little more complex to do and requires more tech, I may do a video on that in the next few months
