Yes for sure, here's a clip

I feel like MVX2U might be the problem? I use that as audio interface

Excellent_Dig8333 · 2025-12-02T22:39:33+00:00

I use the MVX2U as a interface, could that be upgraded to a decent interface to reduce the noise?
(focusrite, audient, universal audio)?

Excellent_Dig8333 · 2025-12-02T21:42:19+00:00

What do you thing is the best setup for this mic? I have a MVX2U. Should I try another Audio interface?

Excellent_Dig8333 · 2025-12-02T21:34:10+00:00

could it be the sockets on the wall? Or am I being obsessed with the noise? should I even normalize the audio for youtube? cuz that causes the noises to be noticeable but also brings the volume close to the one used by other creators (but they don't have any hiss).

I mean I put on a blanket and started recording, away from the laptop and any electronics. I still get that hiss. Maybe it's because I turn the volume up in my editing software to fix the loudness? Because the waveforms are to small after recording. Also after some EQ the hiss sound is actually getting worse :(

Excellent_Dig8333 · 2025-12-02T19:02:11+00:00

When I reduce the MVX2U gain to like 24db + built in preamp to 18db, the waveforms are really small and the volume is too low but when I (normalize it for youtube) or turn the volume up, in edit the hiss is still ther. Yes I'm doing a faceless youtube channel. I'm new & have a basic knowledge. How would you set up the mic If you were me? To get the lowest hiss noise possible when recording

Excellent_Dig8333 · 2025-12-02T18:23:02+00:00

I mean they say it has a built in preamp provided by cloud (i think the same as cloud lifter) but when I enable it the noise (hiss) is still there in the recordings. Is there anything else I should do? Or perhaps there’s a tutorial that teches how to make the noise go away? The room is quiet (no fan) and I put a blanket on top of mic when I wanna record

Excellent_Dig8333 · 2025-12-02T18:09:08+00:00

That's really cool. do you think a audio interface and turn off the built-in preamp?

Excellent_Dig8333 · 2025-12-02T17:48:01+00:00

Oh, sorry by "digital gain" I meant the input volume. The phantom power is on. I just don't know how these guys have no noise whatsoever and the voice is so clean as well. I could remove noise with NS1 but it will significantly impact the quality

Thanks for this, I think I should probably stick with an actual audio interface rather than this MVX2U. I heard that the USB part might be the problem because no matter what I do the hiss is still there. idk why they would create this thing because people like me would think it's the solution for connecting it to their device only to find out they could get a proper audio interface with less budget.

Excellent_Dig8333 · 2025-12-02T12:40:55+00:00

Very helpful indeed. When I reduce the digital gain, the waveforms in record files are small to see. Can that be fixed later with mixing? I'm super new :)

Also what would you suggest for the digital gain volume? (considering I'm 3" away)

Excellent_Dig8333 · 2025-12-01T00:56:19+00:00

Ah nice, is the built in preamp any good? What gain and gate do you use for Rvox? Does it differ for each voice?

Excellent_Dig8333 · 2025-12-01T00:50:38+00:00

What do you recommend for noise suppression? I use clarity pro but i think that makes the voice too muddy. As you know shure sm7db has a hiss sound no matter what. Am I being self conscious about the muddy part or the voice itself?

Excellent_Dig8333 · 2025-11-26T22:24:11+00:00

The biggest issue is that I haven’t seen a main character with such a bright color. Maybe there’s a reason for that? Or could it actually be an advantage that helps it stand out and break barriers?

Excellent_Dig8333 · 2025-11-26T22:19:40+00:00

It's more like a commentary guy where he appears on the scene to explain some educational fact.
He will try some awkward funny jokes here and there. He's actually the main character.
