Audacity Forum

Hello, I bought a Blue Yeti a while ago and it's great. Compared to what I was using it was a HUGE step in the right direction. However lately I've been feeling it's possibly a little TOO sensitive. I record gameplay commentaries for videogames on youtube and the yeti does a bang up job but I think ...

So no EQ or anything then? It's possible to substantially reduce the background hum noise if you paste the code below in Audacity's [ IMO apply the notch filters and noise-reduction before applying any dynamic-range-compression ] Damn that tweaked version you linked sounds much nicer than regular n...

I know where you got 120 from (in the US), where did you get the other numbers -- or is this a custom series for that one clip...? We're all beating about the bush. The poster really wants the equalizer sequence so he can sound like Don LaFontaine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJMGS7l0wT8 We have...

Thanks man. I always had trouble knowing which compressor settings to use.

So no EQ or anything then?

I have a short clip from an upcoming commentary for youtube and I was wondering if someone here could take it put it in audacity and tweak it to make it sound a bit better and then let me know what settings you used? Cos I am having a hard time finding the sweet spot. Here is the clip: http://www.me...

Ahhh so you're saying to remove my voice bouncing off the table into the mic so to speak? I will definitely try out different soft materials underneath. There is also a wooden wall about a foot to the left of the mic and about 2 feet to the back of it which could cause some nasty reflections too

Damn you're right. All this time I was using my Beyerdynamics to mix and edit and they do have a natural bass boost effect in general and I never thought it could have affected the sound. I EQ'd like you suggested and it sounded boomy as hell and when I listened on crappier headphones with a neutral...

Wow awesome post, thanks for the tips and feedback. I think my voice naturally isn't particularly deep so I can't get that extra bit of bass without becoming too boomy. The mic is most definitely on Carioid and yeah I keep hoping to get that deeper effect when I lean in and get kind of annoyed when ...

Hey guys, I've been getting pretty heavily into recording videogames with commentary and was looking for some advice on recording settings. I have a Blue Yeti USB mic and it sounds great but I think it could sound even better with some tweaks like positioning and levels/gain etc. Right now I record ...
