Sound familiar?

Your chat keeps saying it can’t hear you, then that you’re too loud.

Fader

Quiet, then too loud

Normal talking is hard to hear, but every shout sends viewers for the volume.

Microphone

Distorted shouting

Your loudest moments crackle or clip on stream.

Chat

Viewers complaining

People mention your sound in chat more than your content.

Level it, then protect it

A steady stream voice comes from the right mic position, a compressor to even out the quiet and loud moments, and a limiter so nothing clips. Set for your voice, not copied from a tutorial.

How I fix it

A live remote session. You stay at your desk, and I work on your computer with you.

1

I call you on WhatsApp

A voice line on your phone, separate from the mic we’re working on, so we can talk while we test.

2

I connect and listen

I connect to your computer with AnyDesk and hear your audio in real time through Audiomovers LISTENTO.

3

We level your voice

Mic position first, then a compressor and limiter in OBS, tested while you talk, whisper and shout the way you do on stream.

A real fix

A YouTube streamer whose viewers kept complaining about his volume.

Remote session CASE ID #153

Volume complaints fixed for Reel Time with Mark

The setup

The problem

Mark streams live slot gameplay on YouTube. His audience complained about his volume and sound quality, and hours of online tutorials hadn’t fixed it.

What I did

  • Guided him on mic position, distance and polar pattern before touching any software.
  • Added a compressor in OBS to bring up his overall level and keep it steady, even when he spoke softly.
  • Added a limiter so excited shouts couldn’t clip, then tested from whispers to shouts.

The result

Result: his volume problems were resolved in a 60-minute session. On his next stream he told viewers: “I have new sound.”

What it costs

No packages to decode, no upsells. Pick the one that fits and book it.

Live Diagnostic

£90

A focused, one-hour, screen-shared session to find and kill a specific problem. Mic suddenly not recording, distortion out of nowhere, routing that’s blocking your chat, software that won’t behave. Most issues are gone inside the session.

Full Studio Setup

£180

Around two hours. I take control and configure your whole rig from scratch — hardware and software, gain staging, mic positioning, routing, the lot. For new gear, a new room, or a setup that’s never quite worked properly. You end up with a system that just runs.

Before you book

The questions streamers ask me most.

Can’t I just turn the fader down?

That fixes the loud moments and makes the quiet ones worse. A compressor narrows the gap between them, so you can sit at one level for the whole stream.

Will a compressor make me sound squashed?

Not when it’s set for your voice. I set it while you talk and shout, and stop as soon as you sound even and natural.

What about game and music levels?

We can balance them against your voice once it’s steady. Routing game audio into OBS as part of a Full Studio Setup is an add-on, quoted separately.
