Elgato Wave 3: Best Mic Settings (Volume, Effects & Wave Link Software) -- USB Mic Tutorial Guide 

and this is misleading. looks like youre using your xlr mic in this video not the wave 3

You know what your adjusting in control panel is basically the same thing as using the knob right? (Thats why they put it on there)

very lazy settings. there is SOOO much more you can do.

You didn't mention what the gain settings on the actual mic were to start with.

Wave 3 on max has too much feedback in the background. Best is around 10 to 15.

ALL this does is change what my mic's gain knob controles. As i change the mic in levels, the lights change on the mic as if i turned the knob and the Input Gain goes up in Wave Link................

I can hear my microphone input (my voice) through my headphones (connected to the microphone), but Wave Link does not output to Monitor Mix, and not to Stream Mix either. Does anyone know why?

Seriously the quickest explanation of features and setup recommendations on RU-vid. Elgato should use this video as their standard quickstart guide. Thank you.

Finally, someone who does the gain structure properly! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

At the end: "Sound Good?" --- that pun was music to my ears.

ty!

Maxed out gain is too crazy. This leads to a permanent background noise which can always be heard AND every mouse click or keyboard tap is way too noisy with that setting. How do you deal with that? For me a gain of ~50 works a lot better because this eliminates most of th3e background noise.

I’m trying to figure out how to fix some glitchy techno sounding stuff on my mic and I was led to these videos, my setting don’t look like this tho and I can’t find “sound panel” help anyone please

Something's happened. Elgato Wave link is all udpated, but none of the channels work. I've had to reset my sound via the "reset" button. Anyone else having this issue?

Every single time I cancel out the head phone symbol I can’t hear my audio of voice or video in my recordings

This Playlist is super helpful, thanks for doing this

ive done research and nothing helped. people keep saying my mic sounds like im 5ft away and they can barley hear me, im using the wave 3 on the elgato LP mount very close to my face but still have the issue of sounding far away, could i have a faulty mic?

why is your wave 3 sounds more bassy? do you have eq set up? this doesnt sound like a stock settings

Very Informative, Thanks

i cant tell if this is a troll video or not, why the hell would you put the gain of the mic at 100 its sounds terrible

Ohhh so that's why I was getting the boom in my audio when I finish talking. I used the desk stand and so the mic was further than 0.5m away from my mouth

Ion know how tall don’t get hella background noise I got no fans nothing going n it’s still terrible, especially the keyboard

Is anyone elses Wave 3 capacitive mute button finicky? When I first plug it in, tap on it and it changes back and forth just fine, but after a little but it starts almost flickering between white & red whenever I touch it (no matter how lightly or how solid) Its pretty annoying.

Me and the Fellas beatbox on discord but this mic wont pick it up. any tips?

just wondered why players can here my game sounds when i use the in game viop with the wave 3 mic ? any ideas how to fix this.

i sound like a robot on my mic, doesn't sound natural at all. any thoughts?

I've got it setup however, even though my voice sounds great, there's a slight room sound still present. Any suggestions?

my god that was so quick and helpful, thank you

So when I open the sound settings tab and try to adjust the volume level of the Wave 3, it's adjusting the gain level and not the actual level of the volume for the mic. What did I do wrong? Lol

So I bought the wave 3 two days ago. Went home and set it up using your videos and thanks for that. But now when I stream “using slobs” no one can hear my desktop audio/game audio. They hear me in my mic perfect. The mixer in slobs shows the audio working just fine but on stream “twitch/FB” no other audio. You can hear the audio coming through from my stream opening scene which is a video saved to my desktop that I added. Any thoughts?

THAT GAIN IS AT MAX

My mic is not being picked up in the wave link application.. how do I get this to work?

thank you so much, before watching ur tutorial i had some weird echo effect and now its all gone!

Where is the link to download the software?
