Your goal should be that the moment you talk, your voice will be loud enough that will cause the noise gate to open. If you’re noticing anything you said being incomplete or noticing a word being cut off, then you’ll want to adjust the open and close thresholds respectively. Start with the default settings and do some test recordings and listen to them. You should consider factors such as how loud and silent your voice is, the position of the microphone, and if you move around while talking. While the default settings of the noise gate in OBS is a great starting point. This will determine how long the gate will take from being opened to closed.īefore you setup the noise gate you will want to test your microphone and look at the audio mixer in OBS to find out where the low end of your voice is. Release Time – The release time is the opposite of the attack time.Hold Time – The hold time is how long the gate will stay open once the audio has fallen below the open threshold.Attack Time – The attack time is how long the gate will take from being closed to being open.Open Threshold – When the audio being output surpasses this threshold, the noise gate will open, and any audio will be heard.Close Threshold – When the audio is detected below this threshold the noise gate will close and prevent any audio from being heard.To setup a noise gate in OBS, there are five settings you’ll need to set. If the audio level is too low, the noise gate will remain closed preventing any audio from being heard by your viewers.
A noise gate works by detecting the audio levels and decides if the audio level is high enough to open and let the audio through.
While we’re all too concerned about our audio being too loud, making sure to keeping things quiet should be your other concern. You don’t want your audience to hear that and the simplest way to stop these sounds is with a noise gate.
A proper noise gate will not only stop any background noise that you can’t control like the clicking sounds from your keyboard or the sound of traffic outside, but it will also help prevent any noises you make in front of your microphone like clearing your throat. The noise gate audio filter in OBS is the second audio filter I would recommend for your microphone.
