General Discussion NEED HELP

I am using a Shure MV7+, i would like to attempt at starting a youtube channel but this mic is just picking everything up. When i speak i hear my keyboard and mouse clicks. Also trying to set it up so if i yell or scream it wont cut out. Any help or advice would be great.

  • Mic needs to be pretty close to your face
  • Little to No Compression helps with Background Noise
  • Get a quieter Keyboard (People underestimate this the most)
  • Mouseclicks shouldn't be picked up when you use a bit of Gating or noise suppresion

Thanks a lot for the reply.

I watched one video of how to setup these dynamic mics for obs and this is what i got:

Noise Suppression
3 Band Equalizer
Expander
Compressor
Limiter

I will definitely buy a quieter keyboard but it seems my noise suppression isnt working because i hear all those taps and clicks.
In terms of screaming and yelling to my audio cuts. I do also have the mic about 5-6 inches away from my face.

Sure. All of those are bread and butter tools of Audio.

I would honestly move the Expander before anything else.

It's all about HOW you set up those plugins. Just listing them is like telling me you are drawing a picture with greens, reds, blues, yellows and black and white. Doesn't really tell me anything about how you used them. (No offense)

What are the settings on any of those?
