MY OBS Settings for YouTube videos
1In this video I go through the settings that I use in OBS to upload for YouTube. When I first started using OBS I almost gave up as I just could not get the settings that worked for me right. That's the main thing to remember, you must tweak the settings for your particular environment and voice.
OBS has a plethora or filters and settings that can be very daunting for someone using it for the first time. After a couple of months of trials and errors I finally settled on what worked for me, no doubt I will need to tweak the filters and settings again if I change any of my equipment.

OBS microphone settings explained: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-studio-how-to-configure-your-microphone-noise-suppression-noise-gate-and-gain-filter.423/
This is extracted from the OBS site which explains the filters for the microphone better:
Noise Suppress
Remove background noise
Suppress Level (dB) - lower dB Value=more suppression
Start on -10 and go down up to -60 until the background noise is gone
Gain
Increases the Input
Gain (dB) - negative Values will lower your Audio Input while positive Values will increase it
Do some tests by recording your Audio Input and checking the video to make sure no clipping occurs because of too audio high volumes.
Noise Gate
Turn the Microphone off if no one is talking
Close Threshold
When the mic drops below this volume, the noise gate will turn off the microphone
Open Threshold
When the mic goes above this volume, the noise gate will turn on the microphone
Attack time
How long it takes for the mic to go from off to on, as a fade in.
Hold time
How long the mic should stay on after the volume has dropped below the close threshold.
Release time
How long it takes for the mic to go from on to off, as a fade out.
In most cases configure your Close Threshold first (it always has to be lower as your open Threshold). First do not talk and see if the Microphone inputs any Volume in OBS, then increase the Close Threshold until the Microphone input stops.
Now start talking and see if your Open Threshold is correct. You should see the green bar moving, meaning your voice comes in. You can then increase the Open Threshold until the Microphone stops showing input in OBS. Then slightly lower it again and you should have a good value.
