Greetings, everyone!
I'm a let's player, I use OBS most of the time for my recordings. Really great software! To be honest I'm not completely sure this is the best place to look for help with this issue, as it's not entirely to do with OBS - though OBS might have a solution in it somewhere.
Anyway I wanted to try to improve my audio quality this year, so I got a standalone mic with pretty good reviews. Thing is, it sounds worse. So I'm looking for advice on what I could do to make it sound better.
For reference, I was using the mic on this previously: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104840
And this is my new mic: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836431002
Here's an example of how it sounded, with a noise gate set with a -40dB close threshold and a -36 open threshold : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znIxoBNcxno&list=UUI702XKOlF_6RQ97h93lfSw
Here's how the mic sounds, with no noisegate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCQblXbmxP4&list=UUI702XKOlF_6RQ97h93lfSw
How it sounds with the noisegate settings from before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn1hvo-Ohp4&list=UUI702XKOlF_6RQ97h93lfSw
