I was planning to test how my earbud mic sounds (I think they have one?) but my settings showed me my camera has a mic.

I actually completely forgot about that.

The mic surprisingly isn't terrible, and even being about four feet away it catches my voice fairly clearly (as long as I crank input volume up), but it also catches everything else. My keyboard clicks end up being just as loud as my voice by default. Hitting the red on OBS doesn't cause the mic to peak (so far) which is cool, though I'm talking loudly with hard emphasis on my words rather than outright yelling so... maybe okay?

I know there's settings in OBS and other plugins as well to act as noise gates and improve audio so time to test those \o/

#ive been looking into mics and trying to find one that would work best for me #i have an idea of what i need #standard cardioid for a larger range at the sides since i move a lot #dynamic mic since its impossible to soundproof the hell out of my room enough for a condenser to sound good #my fan is permanently on and that is never changing #i have my setup parked mostly in a cubby so all the noisy shit is in front of me (aka behind where the mic would be) so #a mic that only picks up in one direction would be ideal since i can more reasonably soundproof the area it faces #it would be really cool if i can get the mic on the kinect to sound good since that means id be #getting a two for one #it handles both my model tracking and audio #thatd be sick #as much as id like a mic on a boom arm so i can destroy peoples ears by shoving it into my mouth #this is more convenient and frees up more space
