Microphone is too quiet when recording.

Tue Jul 18, 2017 6:40 pm

Hello everyone.

I got the following problem i hope someone can help me.

My settings in "Action are" 99% on Microphone and only 1% on system sounds when recording.

However the Microphone is to quiet. So when i try to render my recordings i have to adjust alot on the sound files in order to get it to the point where someone can actually understand what im saying which brings also alot of background noise into it.

Im using a "Creative Sound Blaster Z" Sound Card and a
Neewer NW 700 Microphone.

No clue if this is important but in case it is i just post it before someone asks me to :)
My system Specs are:
Win 10. I7 7700K Quad Core 4,6Ghz, 16GB DDR4 Ram. 3 TB Hard Drive. 64bit Based System and Processor.
Graphic Card is a Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB

My Action settings are attached to the post in some screens.
I really hope someone can help me with this cause im at the end of my wisdom in this case.

What i did so far.
Under the system sounds gave microphone boost and so on. (No change)
Tried to reinstall Action. (No change)
Reinstalled my sound card. (No change)
Adjust the sound in the Mixer of the sound card (Which sounds horrible and renders the sound quality of the microphone useless)

Hello,
try disabling multi-channel audio recording and disable "record microphone to separate audio track" option.

Thanks for the fast response. That solves the Problem with the Microphone audio track being to quiet. But brings me another problem.
For editing i kinda need both audio tracks of the system sounds and my microphone. Is it possible to record Both tracks with action seperatly without encountering the old problem again?

Otherwise i would have to record the microphone audio seperatly.

Well i guess im changing to OBS for now as its free, can record up to 6 different audio tracks and while the audio quality is not as good as it is with Action at least its working.

Also i cannot understand how this company makes any money when a free ware program provides better experience then a paid one. Thats just horrible PR.

If you want a separate audio track underneath secondary sound device for recording gameplay, there’s another checkbox that says “Enable/disable audio recording into separate file” click on that & select your microphone. I use Adobe Premier & that’s the only way to add my voice To my videos.

Otherwise, i would have to record the microphone audio seperatly.
