Here's how to reduce background noise while recording videos on OBS Studio in Windows 12:
Using OBS Noise Suppression Filters:
- Launch OBS Studio.
- In the main window, locate the Audio Mixer section. Click the three dots next to your microphone and select Filters.
- Click the + button and choose Noise Suppression.
- You'll see a suppression level option. This determines how much noise gets reduced. A higher negative value means more reduction (start with -30 dB and adjust as needed).
- Experiment with the settings to find a balance between reducing noise and maintaining audio quality.
Additional Tips:
- Use a good microphone: A unidirectional microphone designed for voice recording will pick up less background noise than a built-in laptop mic.
- Treat your recording space: Hang sound absorbing panels or blankets on walls to dampen background noise.
- Reduce noise at the source: If possible, turn off noisy appliances or close windows facing busy streets.
- Noise Gate Filter: This filter cuts audio entirely when the sound falls below a certain level. This can be helpful for eliminating constant hum or low rumbles.
- External Noise Reduction Software: Consider using third-party software like Krisp that integrates with OBS to provide advanced noise cancellation.
