*when recording 1 microphone, check the ‘mono’ box*
(otherwise it will be recorded as a ‘stereo signal’ with all the sound coming from ‘left channel’)
(you can fix this in ‘adobe premiere pro’ via ‘audio effects’ –> ‘special’ –> ‘fill right with left’)
.
*INPUT LEVEL*
*the input level are the small square indicator at the far left of the meter*
This is the best place to see if the audio is too loud for the audio interface that captures your microphone
.
*the colors have the following meters* –>
*dark green*
the input level is less than -50 dBFS
.
light green
the input level is between -50 and -20 dBFS
.
yellow:
the input level is between -20 and -9 dBFS
.
red:
the input level is between -9 dBFS and -0.5 dBFS
.
white:
the input level is larger than -0.5 dBFS
.
.
If the indicator is missing, it means there is no audio streaming toward OBS
.
This may be simply due to no audio being available yet, waiting for the user to start playback of an audio file.
Or it may indicate a problem like the audio interface having been disconnected.
The input level meter is before the volume fader, but it is behind any filters that are in use by a source.
*to correctly determine ‘input level’, you will need to disable the filters for this source*
