So, you can have it so it doesn’t pick up bits of background noise by setting your opening threshold above your normal ambient sound levels when you aren’t speaking. The Noise Gate filter sets an opening and closing dB threshold for when your mic is active and when it basically mutes itself. If it’s a bit quiet, then you don’t need to worry too much as that can be corrected with the “Gain” filter. When you find you can’t hear any background noise or very little, try talking to make sure your voice still comes out okay. Try to be silent in your recording/broadcast and move the slider up and down to change the suppression level in dB. Then either start a broadcast or record yourself. Add the suppression filter and leave it at the default settings to start. The Noise suppression filter can help block out background noise. I’ve had the best results with adding “ Noise suppression”, “ Noise Gate”, and “ Gain” in that particular order. In this screen, you are given access to adding different audio filters to your mic track. On the main screen of OBS you can click the gear on your microphone audio device and click “Filters”. Thankfully, OBS Studio gives us some of these tools built in to help lower that background noise while still making your voice heard. Most any microphone is fine for providing commentary, but it’s important to ensure that the audio you are providing is coming through with as little background noise as possible. Part of setting up a successful stream with live commentary is clear audio.
