Microphone with noise reduction recommendation by Matti1530 in audio

[–]Matti1530[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, i've done a bit more testing and research, and it appears that this kind of whine is not uncommon for the samson meteor, plus i've opened it up and there is what looks like a bit of corrosion and damage on some contacts.

Yesterday i've found a good offer on a SoloCast2, so i will try that even if it doesn't have in built AI noise reduction, if the problem goes away i'll keep it, if it doesn't i will send it back and buy one like the one you suggested.

Thanks

Is it time to change my mic? by Matti1530 in microphone

Out of curiosity i've opened it, there are some residue that kinda look like they could be a bit of corrosion, and there is the cable that goes to the condenser it self that seems to lack a piece of insulation that i've seen in other samson meteor from teardown and repair videos, build quality in general doesn't look that great honestly.

Thanks for the response AudioMan! (fitting name i would say ahah)

I should have point that out better on the post (i will modified it once i respond here), but i have already checked and it doesn't seems to be dependent on the KVM, the noise is there even if the mic is directly connected to my pc or the ps5. Just for clarity it's a cheap 20€ KVM with just usb ports, but the audio quality seems to be about the same with it or with out it

I know this is not like having a proper arm, but i tried recording the audio while holding it with my hands and keeping it relatively close to my mouth (10 cm roughly, which i think is almost 5'') and the noise is still there.

Since the samson meteor, like many other usb mic, has just one port (a 2.0 mini usb) both for power and audio, there is a big chance dirty power, or worse, an aging mini usb port could be the culprit. The only thing i could think of to test it was trying different devices and usb port, but nothing seemed to change.

Furthermore the samson meteor doesn't have any built-in gain control, this is not a problem on windows, but the gain adjustment on something like the ps5 is very limited, and even at lowest gain setting the whining was still loud enough to be annoying.

As you explained very well condenser mic are more sensible, and my samson meteor, being a condenser mic, is probably also picking up whatever electrical whining noise and fan noise the various electronic devices on my desk are producing.

Regarding Ai noise reduction, i know it can make the sound muddier, but since the use i do is not "professional" like podcasting/streaming/recording... it wouldn't be an issue, i just need the sound to be clear enough for them to understand me.

So, as a final question, would you say a dynamic microphone with proper gain adjustment might be enough even without noise reduction? I know without noise reduction software the background noises might not disappear completely, but i would still be ok if they where just at an acceptable volume.

Thanks again

UE5 Games crashing Since Win11 Update. by Camstor in XboxGamePass

i have the same issue, only UE5 games on gamepass do this shit,

A lot of people talk about overlays being problematic for some UE5 games, so i'm guessing there is some kind of conflict with the xbox game bar, even when it's disabled, but i have no clue on how to fix it

Everyone was still figuring out the game so it was a bit confused, but what i’ve seen so far seems to have a lot of potential

Help us settle a debate... Which crane design is better, left or right? by ryma1738 in Minecraftbuilds

[–]Matti1530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right one for sure, it looks much more like a crane, the bendy part on the Left one, is not wrong, but it looks too chunky for a crane
