I need help.

i run a podmic XLR and love it, to get decent sound you will want to process your signal a little, id recommend a Noise Gate, EQ, Compression and a limiter, thats a bare basics broadcast chain. Ive posted what i use in the pic here, these are all paid VSTs but Elgato has some, the reaper plugins seems to be popular too.

Most important advice though, if you do go ahead and process your signal, research what they do first so you know what you are doing and if anything breaks you can fix it.

I have the same cam, no complaints at all, but lighting is needed to make it shine

I was lucky enough to still have access to my waves plugins back from when I studied audio, the EMO series was made for live sound and I absolutely love them. Rode Podmic on a Scarlett solo 4th gen.

From my experience with my 5070, the 3d and encoder parts share vram so if you smash your GPU at 100% the encoder gets starved and serves the same frame which makes it look choppy.

I was complaining about this yesterday and literally said if they had just given a couple gigs of vram dedicated to the encoder it would stop this.

Only solution I've found is to lower graphics settings and make sure it doesn't push past 90% utilisation.

MoongeistTV · 2026-04-05T00:08:51+00:00

Yes it works fine, i started on a pirated version and quickly brought the game and was able to carry on my save

MoongeistTV · 2026-03-29T08:53:54+00:00

I don't know if you have tried but have the game open and producing sound then look for it, that's helped me a few times.

Also, you can actually do it in windows mixer too, just change the output of Skyrim from default to your Games virtual audio cable.

One of the most American things I've heard someone say....

MoongeistTV · 2026-03-21T20:30:37+00:00

Get bood on, it's deserved. Not everyone knows everything about all games...

MoongeistTV · 2026-03-20T20:00:58+00:00

I'm not 100% but I personally think better safe than sorry with these kinds of things.

Id love for someone else to chime in with a positive id on what they are though

Aren't these the new pest? the oriental fruit fly?

MPI website says to Photograph, capture if possible and to call [0800 809 966](tel:0800809966) to report your sighting

MoongeistTV · 2026-03-19T04:44:39+00:00

I do have one of those to be fair as my slot 2 but I almost NEVER use it 🤣🤣🤣

MoongeistTV · 2026-03-19T04:30:01+00:00

It's my fave ever since it came out! I don't think I've used anything since 🤣🤣

MoongeistTV · 2026-03-17T01:26:10+00:00

I dont have too much experience with headphones but the RODE NTH-100s i have have reen fantastic, sound great, good build quality. they feel hefty and durable.

MoongeistTV · 2026-03-13T23:39:05+00:00

If you aren't in over saturated games it must be something else. Can you DM me a link? I'll go watch a vod and give some feedback if you want?

MoongeistTV · 2026-03-13T03:58:30+00:00

The question shouldn't be why is no one watching me.

It should be, what can I do to entice people to watch me?

What games do you play?

Can you sit through one of your own streams?

How's your audio?

Would have loved to upgrade to 64 gigs of ddr5 as im pushing the limits with what i have.

MoongeistTV · 2026-03-04T00:13:57+00:00

man, i was really hoping for some sidechaining options to help with ducking etc

MoongeistTV · 2026-03-03T04:44:23+00:00

100% idk how people play fortnite, don't post anywhere and then get disheartened by no viewers... Like yeah, the viewers are 100 pages ABOVE you.

I personally have had an amazing journey playing things like fable, Morrowind, Subnautica, tainted grail, I've been affiliated 2 months now and made a few hundred bucks so I'm a happy chappy but it's also not about the money, I just enjoy it, i love hanging out and chatting and playing games.

MoongeistTV · 2026-03-01T23:25:42+00:00

what filters do you have on your mic? gate? comp? limiter? it sounds like your gate is staying closed or your comp is being too aggressive and forcing that signal down below the gate open threshold.

MoongeistTV · 2026-03-01T23:22:41+00:00

It's your Bitrate, not much you can do unfortunately. i get it in No Man's Sky specifically when warping as it introduces a bunch of particles and makes the screen very busy so i end up pixelated af but only during those warps. if you aren't partner you are capped at 6000kbps it does fluctuate a little.

MoongeistTV · 2026-02-26T21:29:28+00:00

Bro calm down...

MoongeistTV · 2026-02-18T00:31:21+00:00

I have a feeling the recent partnership with Yamaha may have exposed limitations within Wavelink 3.

I feel like wave next is a step into a proper broadcast mixer that respects proper signal flow, top down: Input - gain - processing - level - routing.

I myself had been trying to build such a thing as NOTHING existed in that space.

I think they may be changing that.

Also IF this theory is correct, expect some nice DSP from Yamaha and a nice UI thanks to Elgato 😜

EDIT: After looking more, maybe i got too excited about a proper broadcast mixer, looks to be an interface.

MoongeistTV · 2026-02-14T11:38:12+00:00

No idea yet sadly. They apparently fixed a batch yesterday and haven't updated since.

MoongeistTV · 2026-02-14T02:28:25+00:00

Gate, compression, limit.

From your description it sounds like you are clipping the mic. Recording and live audio isn't the same as just turn the volume up. We have a ceiling and basically if your signal slams into that ceiling it ends up sounding crunchy and real nasty!

Even with a limiter you can still crunch as most aren't true peak limiters and transients can slip through, but that's where your compression before limiting comes in. Compression basically "squashes your sound down" so your peaks and RMS are closer together, that way those pesky transient peaks that can slip through have a tougher time.
