I got a new mic for my gaming videos

in Hive Gaming5 years ago

Can you hear me now?

I record all of my gameplay videos on my PS5. I then edit the footage using Share Factory Studio, which honestly works great and is so convenient. One thing that hasn't been the best is the audio quality of my voice in those videos. I have been my Pulse 3D Wireless Headset to record my audio. The sound quality of the in-game audio is top-notch, I love the headset for that. The microphone however is not the greatest.

Thankfully I remembered that I had an old audio-technica studio microphone stored away in my closet. The model of my mic is called AT2020. I had purchased it for around $100 several years ago. I never actually used it for much of anything. The mic and the filter I had to go with it collected dust for many years. That has now changed.

I figured out that I am able to continue using my Pulse 3D Wireless Headset for my game audio, but now I am able to pair my audio-technica studio microphone to allow my voice to come through more clearly in the videos. It already sounds so much better, but I plan to purchase a better mic stand in the future so that I can adjust the mic to be closer to my mouth. I think you will be able to notice a massive difference in the clarity of my voice even without me having the perfect mic stand yet.

I am so happy to be able to upgrade the quality of my gameplay uploads, even better is that I didn't have to purchase anything new. I nearly got rid of my audio-technica a few months ago, but something told me to continue holding on to it. I sure am glad that I chose to do that, because now I will be using it all of the time.

Enjoy this gameplay video featuring my new microphone. This video includes 3 different matches on Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War's newest map Collateral.

Nice man. Once I beat a few of my games, I am looking forward to getting back into COD. I suck so much at it. The new Battlefield looks pretty cool too.

I am a fan of Counter-Strike, but I have not played it since years. I had a gift PC years ago, but that is no longer works, and I do not have money to buy a new one, because my income is less than (approximately the half of) the minimum wage. Sometimes I post game reviews. I play the games on other people's computers/consoles. Greetings from Hungary.

I had purchased it for around $100 several years ago. I never actually used it for much of anything.

My monthly pension-like income is approximately $250 USD per month (I know, I live in financial discrimination - greetings from Hungary). If I would buy something for $100, then I would certainly/definitely use it.

Feedback from the July 1st Hive Power Up Day - ATH Volume record!

Dude this mic sounds great!

I plan to get a proper table mic as well. I have the Arctis Pro Wireless which is an awesome headset but the mic isn't the best for recording. I get so much sibilance and even with a bunch of filters. DeEsser and EQ and what not I still get a bit. I managed to reduce it for my DOOM playthrough I'm doing but it's still pretty bad throughout all of Hellpoint. No ones complained yet though. I guess it's easier to notice and be critical in these things in our own work right?

If you don't mention it, the truth is that it goes unnoticed.
