    Default Sound Quality

    PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CHECK YOURS.

    like 90% of camgirls i creep on who broadcast audio have AWFUL TERRIBLE HORRIBLE sound quality. including most of the top girls on streamate and myfreecams. your shit sounds super high and tinny, every time you breathe it sounds like someone kicked a fucking speaker, and it picks up every single background noise. not to mention when your sound quality is that bad it makes your music sound like fugly static.

    don't use your inbuilt mic - use your cam mic if possible. (the logitech is decent.) external mics and headsets are awesome but not required (i love my headset but it makes me look like an alien). FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TURN YOUR GODDAMN RECORDING VOLUME DOWN. that affects what your microphone picks up. my logitech mic volume is set on the lower end of the scale (there's a little bar for this in the adobe encoder and also one in your control panel settings under sound). doing this keeps it from picking up background noise and keeps your voice from sounding horribly loud, tinny, and grating.

    you can test your volume by going into your room or having a friend check your room, or trying it out on skype. or recording a video of yourself (although in my experience live cam sound is usually worse than video sound).

    i never see threads about this and it's the number one thing that drives me up the wall. trust me, your customers will thank you.

    anyone else have sound quality tips? please share!

    I always check out my own cam when I log in through the cammodels.com link - I check that the color and lighting come across ok (you know how they always look slightly different on the other end!!), that the sound is ok, and that the cam is not lagging too much, or freezing.

    I highly recommend doing this - it just means that you know that there are no issues, and so you aren't working for half an hour before someone mentions it, or worrying that it is on your end when a guy has a problem!

    Yes, yes yes. I see so many beautiful girls camming with hideous sound. It's pretty much unwatchable.

    Default Re: Sound Quality

    I've been worrying about mine. When I get excited or stoned, sometimes I start to talk kinda loud. And when I cum, I wake the neighborhood and it sounds like I'm going to blow out the speakers. But then there are times when I'm trying to talk dirty at what I would consider a normal volume for dirty talk and they claim they can't hear me (I've noticed this too when editing shows).
    Any suggestions? It probably doesn't help that in a show I'm anywhere between 1 to 5 feet away from my cam. Do I just need to buy a separate (and better quality) mic?

    This part....turn it down how much? Like about 29 on the Logitech and to one-fourth on the encoder? More? Less?

    I never gave sound quality a thought...

    yesss thank you for saying it!!
    i was in one girls room and her mic was horrible like she sounded like a malfunctioning robot....
    i told her.." i think you need check ur mic, its breaking up all funny and hard to hear what ur saying.
    well she told me off saying something about im not here to talk, just to do shows so go pvt
    so much for helping a fellow cam girl lol
    i always listen to anyone who tells me about a tech issue and i always thank them....
    its funny how some guys will not even say anything one day everyone was comming in my room and leaving pretty quick. then like 10 minutes later some guy says all i see is a black screen...
    i went to check and sure enough my cam was not showing on the site....

    so to add to tiny's advice about testing your own sound. my advice is to listen to someone if they tell you something is wrong with your stream

    Anytime I try to check out my own cam in another tab, or another browser I always get a huge feedback loop and it makes the most annoying high pitched sound in the universe! Would you have any idea what I am doing wrong, because I'd really like to be able to check my own cam and see what I look and sound like and I just can't figure out why it happens!

    yes, i set it to about 25%. it picks up my voice and music very well but i'm not too loud and it doesn't pick up a lot of background noise. i'm not actually sure if it matters if you turn it down just on the encoder or in the control panel sound settings - like if you actually need to change it in both - but i have it changed in both.

    use headphones when you're checking your sound, it'll solve that problem. it'll also solve the problem of feedback loops if you ever use sound during cam2cam, although it's too annoying for me so i just don't let guys broadcast sound during cam2cam.

    also i forgot to add - turning down your computer sound will help a lot too usually. if you have your recording volume set pretty low, it can pick up music playing softly without making your music sound awful. also, for girls who have bad sound quality, their notifications (the sound it makes when guys go in and out of your room) are really loud, tinny, and annoying for anyone listening. so if you turn down your computer's sound it'll still pick up the notifications (and you can still hear them) but it's not like a constant barrage of loud ass tinny 'ding's for your customers to have to listen to.

    I love this post! As I previously posted in a different thread, I use a yeti microphone (not that you should spend that much money on a microphone! it's crazy!) and every single guy compliments me on my sound. I've heard WAY too many complaints about other girls cams being impossible to hear. Music blaring doesn't help But I know that for me I had a hard time figuring out why there was an echo >.< Silly me I had the microphone sound up on my computer so I would hear it, too! Check these things, and ask the guys about the sound quality if you need to

    awesome! i'm drooling over your mic

    and you brought up a good point - disable your internal mic if you're using the logitech mic!

    I use my cam mic

    How do we disable the internal mic? I guess I didn't even realize they both run at the same time after you choose the logitech

    they shouldn't run at the same time but...in my experience, sometimes weird things happen. my computer is supposed to use the logitech but if i don't have the internal disabled sometimes it uses that. or if i'm using a headset sometimes it uses the internal instead of the headset even though it should default to the headset. you can totally disable the internal mic by going to control panel ->hardware and sound->manage audio devices->recording and right clicking on your internal mic and clicking 'disable.' you can also adjust the settings in there for the recording volume of any mic you have (in addition to adjusting in the encoder).
