I'm not so much a noob as completely ignorant about OBS and tech stuff more generally. Yet, I opened an account here cause I thought just maybe I had info that could help AndrewCarsten and (if your not the same person) KHZC
I am running OBS 30.2.0 (updated today, though I noticed what I'm about I'm about to share with you to a week ago) on Windows 11 with RTX 3070.
So I heard a lot of hype about the NVIDIA Noise Removal filter, but it didn't seem to "do anything" until one day it did--and ooh boy howdy... I was literally hitting my car keys against the shock mount (outer and inner rings) and no sound at all!! A-MAZE-ERRIFIC ! ! ! (I had to drop it to 0.80 because it was cutting initial plosives after I'd been quiet for a while... but I might just kick it back up to 1.00 and train myself to always say "uhm" whenever I start talking)
...but then next time I boot up, back to nothing. Turn the filter off and back on again--no difference
I would guess that this fancy filter "showed up" about 1 out of every 20 to 30 times I opened OBS (I boot up my PC and use OBS at least once every day)
Then, prompted by OBS to update some NVIDIA something I didn't understand what, I notice that I can start OBS from the GeForce App. Before I had always used a shortcut to OBS in the taskbar. On I whim I tried it ('Oh, I can open stuff from here?' If that whim had had me open TLUS you wouldn't be reading this.)
I've only be at this about a week, but golly-gosh-dag-dernit if EVERY time I start OBS from GeForce that NVIDIA Noise Removal Filter princess doesn't do her magic. I'll even test in with a shortcut open (nothing), then close it out and reopen immediately from GeForce and there she goes!
Can anyone explain this to me?
