@icedquinn @Corfiot that bad? that's weird. it shouldn't really change all that much, it just helps scatter hard, poppy sounds and gross mouth noises. if anything your quality should be better.

@Corfiot @icedquinn yeah, generally the lower you can get the gain and the closer to the source you have the microphone without it being uncomfortable or bringing in more noise, the better.

i use those foam pop filters and keep the volume relatively low, so my mouth has to be basically eating the mic. that's what stage directors always told me to do as a lead singer so i just stuck with it for all the audio i could.

@icedquinn @Corfiot nah, my headset mic will pick up my roommate yelling upstairs and he can hear himself if he gets particularly loud lol.

you can probably mitigate a lot of that with a good sound environment, good volume control, and good EQ.

but it's easier to just use dynamic mics imo lol. stick a compressor on it so people can still sort of treat it like a condenser and not be right up against it always, otherwise a lot of people might not know you have to talk directly into it. i ran into that issue a lot back when my friends and i had a youtube channel, one of them just would not be close enough to the mic so i had to fiddle with the audio levels every time he was on the mic and tune the compressor the right way.

audio is fun. it's a pain in the ass.

@Corfiot @icedquinn back when i used a condenser desk mic it would pick up traffic outside and shit lol. switched to dynamic ones and yeah, you gotta' have your mouth pretty close to it, but it's worth it for the better sound and you don't have to apply as many filters to it like noise gates. i can have my air conditioner going and not worry too much unless i'm actually recording vocals for a music track or something and want it to be as clean as possible.

unfortunately there aren't really any headset mics that are dynamic, so i use a condenser one there, but since i only use it for talking with friends or streaming once in a blue moon it isn't like i need to have zero ambient sound. pop filter and noise gate does enough without it sounding like shit.

@Corfiot @icedquinn yeah whoops lol condenser, not compressor, don't know what i'm smokin

@icedquinn never heard of stardeus, doesn't really look like my thing. is it kind of like rimworld?

@coolboymew catch me walking straight down and ignoring the road

@coolboymew silent hill 2

@matana yes, now play jurassic heart instead

@matana the best way to play it for sure

@icedquinn pretty excited for this game, it looks like an actually modern day sims game with real improvements instead of just a bunch of shitty, buggy content built on the same 8 year old engine that was more restrictive than the one used for sims 3.

@Bro-Drillard interesting that the people who want the government to take everyone's firearms don't think the government is going to take everyone's firearms.

also funny that the people who think there will be a civil war between the rich and poor freak out at the slightest bit of antisemitism.

@icedquinn the really huge difference is dynamic vs compressor microphones. you have to have a pretty damn good environment to use the latter, but there's a reason dynamic mics are used on stage. youtubers using compressor mics is a huge scam.
