XLR Microphone Setup

[FadeToStatitc]

I've had a shure MV7+ with a Elgato XLR for a few months, but I havn't been able to adjust the audio to sound as good as normal streamers. I am almost clueless when it comes to setting up EQs, Gain, Compressor, etc. and was wondering if there's any sort of service or people I can hire to do that for me, and if so, what are some popular options?

Realistically you probably don't even need to pay. Just upload a clip of you talking as well as a reference clip of what you'd like it to sound like, and I'm sure someone can tell you what to adjust to make things sound better. I'm not sure here you'll have a ton of luck, but I'm sure there's people on Reddit or something that can help you out.

Do also put more factors in that you should consider:

- Your position relative to the mic, and movement discipline to not turn away from the mic if you want a consistent sound.
- The software that is taking audio from the mic - not just the mic's software.

Oh ok thanks! I'll give reddit a try later

I've tried multiple suggested mic positions, and the elgato wave link software is a highly recommended one, but I'll look up some more factors I'll need to consider! Thanks!
