What do you mean you can't get the quality you want out of it? Do you sound weird when you record with it?

There is usually a manual included with such items , be sure to read it for troubleshooting

Hmm, I have other headphones myself. First I sounded weird through them either.
Maybe you should check out the sound settings on your pc.

Throughout the day I've been trying different possible solutions which I've found on the net and non of them have seemed to have worked.

I've seen alot of people with the exact same microphone model and its crystal clear with no noise or hissing. My room is pretty much silent, so it cannot be picking up anything from the surroundings, such as my pc, monitor, ect..

Take a short look at the introduction of my video, and you'll notice the sound doesn't sound clear at all, and ofcourse the hissing/background noise is there.

I hope someone out there can give me a solution.

Thanks!

Buy a popfilter. Don't talk above the mic. Talk straight to it. Hmmm, I cannot get a clear audio too but it's all fine for me imo. Just not as clear as pewds.

Edit: It's actually clear. Just lower your voice? I've got the same problem as you. Just lower your volume on your video editing program.

Fluant · Mar 16th 2013, 4:31am

I do already have a popfilter.

Too me, the voice didn't seem loud at all.

Though, thanks for the help.

Bump :p

Hmm i think the sound of your voice sounds perfectly to me, can't see a single problem/issue about it

Fluant · Mar 19th 2013, 8:45pm

Hey man thanks for the advice but, There is this humming/hissing noise?

Its not external so it must be internal setting, Ive tried everything.

Wish someone with the same mic can send me details to use this device with an Elgato Game Capture HD...

So i can see where im going wrong :)

Uhhmh...
Not that I know anything about this stuff
But I guess you could try what Cry does, and filter your voicerecording to remove all noise. That should clear the buzzing between sentences and provide a much clearer, less painful voice.

Fluant · Mar 19th 2013, 8:54pm

What do you mean by this mate?

With recording in the Elgato Software its all one audio the game/commentary so you can split them up,

If you mean by using the noise reduction its not possible, Thanks for ur suggestions tho!!

Im sure someone will know how to sort this.

Fluant · Mar 26th 2013, 8:36pm

Guys, if you could take a look at this video you will understand some of the issues im having!!! look!

Its really frustrating! Please help! :(

I don't see any problem with your mic. One thing I do advise you do is raise your voice. I say this because the video you used as an example consists of you mumbling a little bit. This could be a confidence issue which is totally fine but don't be scared to really let yourself go. Be one with the mic!

*EDIT*

With the Judgement video I think this is because of a software, or driver issue. Now first you need to check to see if the raw audio is doing the same stuttering problems. If it isn't then it is an rendering issue when you turn it into an actual audio file. The best way to fix this is to try different software out. I myself use Audacity, which is incredible easy to use and I recommend it above all things.

Lastly why are you uploading these videos when your content isn't 100% you are just going to bait people into giving you dislikes? I suggest figuring out the problem before uploading these videos. Don't worry the millions of viewers aren't going anywhere anytime soon

Fluant · Mar 26th 2013, 9:31pm

Thanks alot for ur comments Mate, but at the start of that video and where i started that link, the commentary like broke up? Go to the start and check it out :( Let me know whatcha think?

Noirproxy · Mar 26th 2013, 9:34pm

Edited comment

Fluant · Mar 26th 2013, 9:38pm

Thanks for ur comments, yea im gonna stop uploading till i sorted it out!!! As its not fair for viewers to watch bad quality audio! It does it in the raw video file, and i did try like audacity and that but then, i record all my gameplays with elgato and to get the audio lined up with the gameplay is a right pain!

Noirproxy · Mar 26th 2013, 9:43pm

That is the life of a Youtuber though. I myself have to edit every single one of my videos if I want the best out of them. I use a HD PVR and can drop the audio from Audacity straight into the software, line it up and away I go. Takes practice but the end result is worth it.

Fluant · Mar 26th 2013, 9:46pm

Yes Sir, Think im gonna have to give it a go as i wish to have the best quality videos possible!! Ill give it a go then give you a PM and ill let you know how i get on!! Thanks alot for ur help! and if this works my friend u r a godsent!

Fluant · Mar 26th 2013, 10:17pm

Ahh dayumm, doing some tests now and lining this is up is soo hard i cant do it lol, any videos you suggest watching to explain this really well? :p
