Moin, I just got the "FIFINE USB Microphone, PC Laptop Microphone", the quality of this microphone is quite good, only the microphone somehow picks up every single click of the mouse and keyboard. (I tried to suppress this with Audacity, but it didn't work either). It's just annoying to record and talk to friends about Discord. Can someone say why? I was planning to get the "Uhuru UM-900 USB Microphone" in the hope that you can then record normally & without someone complaining that my keyboard / mouse is too loud. Would that be better then? Thank you in advance.
Info about the micro: Micro "volume control" is on half.
I guess your problem is that the microphone is a condenser microphone, and possibly has an omnidirectional characteristic. I also don't understand why condenser microphones are always recommended on the internet. In fact, they are more sensitive and more resolving than dynamic microphones, and that is exactly why they cause the problems you have noticed.
I would use a dynamic microphone with a cardioid characteristic. And of course no USB micro.
A very sensitive condenser microphone that is closer to the keyboard and mouse than to the mouth.
What was your question again?
The question was, how do I get the microphone to pick up my voice more than the mouse and keyboard. Do you recommend a new microphone (preferably one to 55 euro) or do I have to do something different?
It is best to have a dynamic microphone close to the mouth with a cardioid or supercardioid directional characteristic.
Thanks for the star.
Even if the star has already been awarded:
Just avoid EVERYTHING that says "condenser studio" on it. These mics all come from the Liam forge and are available under a hundred different names. They are just too sensitive for normal use. In a normal room dynamic microphones such as The akg P3 with a USB audio interface e.g. In this cheapest class the Behringer UMC22. Clearly there remains a little residual noise. Then you go close to the microphone with a pop killer. You can live with the rest of the noises. You also have the tip: Get as close to the microphone as possible and set the sensitivity as low as possible. (Unfortunately often not possible with USB microphones) Keyboard BEHIND the micro!
