Thank you SO much for this video! I was struggling hard on whether to get the SoloCast or not! A huge + was the mute button but I was scared about the mic picking up a lot of noises like keyboard/mouse clicking. Your infos and the demonstrations show pretty well on what helps and how HUGE the impact is! As soon as I can afford it again I will get the Solocast, the boom arm and the shock mount! I wasn't even aware of what a shock mount does and let me tell you I was BAFFLED when i heard the difference!! Thank you soooo much!!

RTX Voice helps a lot too with removing the room noise + low bass impact noise. And its free! Thanks for recommending that boomarm, i'll probably get it.

@DJSPYROOF 2 года назад

@@6van did you select the right mic and adjusted the slider? It takes away all the bumps for me. After that I route it through voicemod to add a little more bass and treble to my voice and it sounds perfect

@In_Extremo 2 года назад

For me, it also catches noise even with rtx voice. Yes, not as much as without it. But you can still hear the buttons on the mouse. But I don't have a boom arm and a shock mount. The microphone is on the table. What are your settings? What volume is set in the windows sound settings on the microphone?

@DJSPYROOF 2 года назад

@@In_Extremo I have a boomarm (not this one but similar) without shock mount. First thing is RTX Voice. I have the noise suppression set on about 80% and the ''Remove background noise from my microphone'' box obviously checked. Then I have Voicemod installed. In voicemod as a mic I selected NVIDIA RTX Voice. And in Voicemod I have added some bass to my voice to make it just that higher quality (its different for everyone because everyones voice is different) And in apps like Discord, or even Windows etc, I select my mic to be Voicemod. So it runs through all of them. I havn't tried RTX without the boomarm. I think getting a boomarm will help you a lot tho.

@martinwolker9510 4 месяца назад

I 3D printed a cone, lined it with a spare door pad I had lying around and it dampened it enough to remove those table bumps. I also tried it with just the door pad (in the ring when you remove the mic), it was a really tight fit, but still works, IMO HyperX got kinda lazy here.

I just bought a Solocast for my daughter to make videos of her playing Roblox and the audio sounds extremely low and like she's recording from a bunker, is there any way to fix the volume issue? I've turned the input volume all the way up and it didn't help much. I noticed in the review videos where the mic is being used it's full, clear audio but for me it's no where close.

@9to5toys 2 года назад

That's a bummer! Such a great mic. Is she talking into the front of the microphone? And is she close to it? I think about 5-6 inches way is the best distance for sound without getting pops.

@St.CrimsonTweets 2 года назад

@@9to5toys yes, she has it in front of her she sits roughly 6 to 10 inches away. I think I may have found a fix but I can't test it at the moment. I went into Manage Audio Devices> Microphone Properties> Advanced and in there disabled the "Exclusive Mode". It appears that apps like Skype will take over and auto adjust the sounds when enabled, we're recording using screen record so it's kind of a hail Mary for me lol, I'll update as soon as I get a chance.

@9to5toys 2 года назад

Great! Thanks for the sub! Anything soft you can throw in there will help. If the floors are hard, carpet or a rug will probably make the biggest difference. Curtains and sound blankets hung on a wall or draped over a stand can help to soak up reverb and make the recording sound better. There are lots of videos on how to make your own acoustic panels to hang on the walls but those are a little more involved.
