Question / Help How do I make it so that I don't hear my mouse?

[earthman888]

I would like to know how I can make it so that I don't hear my mouse clicking while I am recording. The clicking is pretty annoying while trying to watch the recording. If anybody could help me with this problem, then it would help me a lot.

To eliminate mouse noise entirely, you're gonna need to get a quieter mouse and/or a different microphone (or at least a better-positioned one). Most headsets are directional enough that you can't hear the mouse clicking.

Using noise gating/setting up a threshold can also help a little, but they'll be audible when you're talking.

Settings->Settings->Microphone Noise gate->Enable noise gate->and then you have to tinker with it so the mic only activates when you're talking. That way you can easily get rid of background noises like mouse clicking, typing, fans and breathing.

Works flawlessly for me.

The thing with the noise gate, is that it doesn't eliminate these sounds. Once you start talking, all of those background sounds can be heard once again. It's simply just a "gate" you talk through that turns the mic on and off with your voice, rather than silencing those things.

Your mic sensitivity will need to be fixed, but with some mics its just not possible. generally, a mic or even a mixer that can filter the stuff out itself would be the ideal method.
