"5 Common Mistakes That Make Your Live Stream Sound Bad (And How to Fix Them)"

Poor Microphone Placement: Placing the microphone too far away can result in a distant, echoey sound. Fix: Keep the microphone close to the sound source and use a pop filter to reduce plosives.

Inadequate Soundproofing: Background noise can be distracting. Fix: Use sound-absorbing materials in your streaming space to minimize echo and background noise.

Incorrect Audio Levels: Setting the gain too high can cause distortion, while too low can make it hard to hear. Fix: Conduct a soundcheck before going live and adjust levels to ensure clear audio.

Neglecting Acoustic Treatment: Hard surfaces in your room can cause sound to bounce around, leading to poor audio quality. Fix: Add acoustic panels or soft furnishings to dampen reflections.

Using Low-Quality Equipment: Poor quality microphones or outdated audio interfaces can degrade your sound. Fix: Invest in a good quality microphone and ensure your audio interface firmware is up to date.
