I prefer gaming laptops because I have the question, can I put the Rode NTUSB next to the laptop and still have a good voice quality?
If I put the microphone in front of the laptop I would not be able to see the screen because it is at eye level.
If you move the mic farther, you have to turn the sensitivity higher and this will make more noise from the environment, e.g. Keyboard, mouse or laptop sounds recorded. You can do it, but it is not optimal. Maybe you should get yourself a Lapotop holder and an external keyboard so you can get it a little further away from you.
Ever thought of a table clamp stand, similar to a typical desk lamp, so that your mic hangs over the screen.
How to increase the sensitivity on the NTUSB?
Sensitivity here means as much as volume. With the NTUSB, this is only possible via Windows. In this video you can see how to set this:
Okay, so I do not have to worry about ambient noise, I live in Rural Area and the laptop (Acer Predator Triton 500) is very quiet.
By an external fan, he is a bit higher, the microphone with pillar is about 25cm high, I would grab the laptop on a holder that protrudes over the microphone I would have to look upwards unpleasant, I'm not convinced of an external keyboard Why do I have one directly in the laptop. Raise the sensitivity would be a good idea, you can do that directly on the microphone or you need a software?
No, sensitivity is called the gain factor with respect to a microphone and in terms of an amplifier it is called the input sensitivity. Both can't be regulated at the NTUSB; not synonymous over Windows. The amplification factor that one could adjust does not influence which sound would be converted by the microphone or outputted by the amplifier.
"No, sensitivity in terms of a microphone means transfer factor and in terms of an amplifier, it is called the input sensitivity." Both can't be controlled on the NTUSB, not even on Windows "
I know, I did not say, the volume that enters the microphone in Windows can still be increased which is necessary for the greater distance if he does not, for example. In a video editing program wants to increase.
"The amplification factor that one could adjust does not influence which sound would be converted by the microphone to any extent or output from the amplifier."
In a sense, he already does. If I set a low gain and thus bring the micro close to my mouth effectively less ambient noise is recorded.
