    I’m nowhere near being a streamer nor do I care about microphones, but sat through the entire video because it was just that engaging. Keep up the great work, Ashley.

    or you could use a popfliter and a decent mixer that that has a max gain level that will stop it from clipping.

    You should have used the mic for the whole video.

    I can live with streamers that have graphics issues or webcam problems if the sound is good. Audio is EVERYTHING.

      Also, 160 bucks is not bad at all for a quality mic. Good on Elgato.

    It’s nice to see Ashley reviewing Elgato stuff because she is a gamer and I can trust her input. 👍🏼

    What are you using as a mic stand?

  15. Wili44

    is there a boom arm for the wave 3?

  16. AloneDoughnut

    June 18, 2020 at 6:42 pm

    I mean, I would upgrade to something like this for sure. I think it’s a sexy looking microphone, and while a cool XLR setup would be great, I don’t really need it. Most of my content is talking into a microphone for D&D or running my talk show. Though I’m curious if it would work for the cooking streams…

    (And if you are interested Ashley, it’s Alonedoughnut on Twitch. <3)

    Does anyone recommend this over the Samson G Track Pro? I am a new Twitch streamer looking for my first mic setup. I’d also like something to make Youtube voice overs.

    I use the Audio-Technica AT2020. I’ve been using it for a couple of years and really have no need to replace it because it’s still a really good microphone.

    They did say “from the ground up” that’s why you gotta get on the ground, to speak into it

    When you were recording on the mic for this video, is this true to what the audio sounds like, or did you add filters and gains?

    • CNET

      June 20, 2020 at 1:06 am

      Editor here. I didn’t adjust or manipulate the audio from the Wave 3. I did adjust the XLR mic to match the levels of the Wave 3. Ashley recorded her audio directly into Audacity and I synced with her video it in Adobe Premiere. So what you hear is unfiltered or gained audio from the Wave 3.

    $160 is expensive, I thought it would be around $75

    Promoting a mic for streaming. Using a different mic.

    Is this a review of this microphone or is it a paid advertisement?

  34. XzTS

    June 19, 2020 at 9:25 am

    I know someone who’s dad is known for holding a dynamic handheld mic an inch away and will still cause audio clipping by yelling into it.

    I’ve been streaming on twitch now over 8 years. 9 years…?? I’ve had my blue yeti for the vast majority of that time period. I ordered a Wave 3 so we will see how it works/sounds in comparison. The software seems awesome and I didn’t want to go with a full mixer set up due to cost/space on my desk. So I will see next week and compare for myself and my (small granted) viewer count what people think about how it sounds. Hopefully El Gato can get VSTs added in soon also…
