Are you tired of your microphone picking up all the background noise in your recordings? Do you wish you could just record your voice and nothing else? If so, then you need to learn how to record mic only. Recording mic only is a simple process that can be done with any microphone and any recording software. In this article, we will show you how to record mic only in just a few easy steps.
The first step is to set up your microphone. Make sure that your microphone is in a quiet location where there is no background noise. If possible, use a pop filter to reduce popping sounds. Once your microphone is set up, you can open your recording software. In the recording software, you will need to select your microphone as the input device. Once you have selected your microphone, you can start recording.
Isolating Vocal Tracks
To isolate vocal tracks in OBS, you can use the following steps:
- Open OBS and add a new source by clicking on the “+” icon in the “Sources” panel.
- Select “Audio Input Capture” from the drop-down menu.
- In the “Device” drop-down menu, select the microphone that you want to capture.
- In the “Mode” drop-down menu, select “Voice Activity” or “Push-to-Talk” to control when the microphone is active.
- Click on the “OK” button to add the audio input capture source.
You can now adjust the volume and gain of the microphone using the controls in the “Audio Mixer” panel.
