3 Easy Steps To Sound Great Even With a Cheap USB Mic-Audio Tutorial
453Three things make you sound professional: Microphone placement, mic etiquette (not accessories), and vocal effects in the form of VST plugins to work with your broadcasting software. I will show you where to mount your mic, the best techniques you can implement to sound proper, and the 3 effects that makes any microphone pop: compressor, EQ, and Noise Gate. We will download Reaper Plug ins, and set them up in Stream Labs OBS (SLOBS), but feel free to follow along in OBS, or Xsplit Broadcaster. By the end of this video we will have a cheap used Amazon Basics compact mic sounding good enough to live stream, YouTube, or run a podcast.
