Try to keep the boost after noise reduction as minimal as possible. If you are using the slider, going about ~10db will begin to introduce noise reduction artifacts (You can boost it to +30dB to hear what they sound like). As you boost the volume up you may bring back more background noise. You can tell if its working properly by seeing if increasing the boost to maximum makes it very, very, loud. Do NOT record with the microphone device directly. You can type a value at the bottom of the slider as well.īe sure you have either your default device selected OR the VB-Audio Virtual Cable we set up before. If the mic is too quiet, adjust the 'output gain' slider on the right up in increments of 3 dB. You can use any recording software, or even 'listen to device,' but we recommend Audacity. Listen to a recording of what the mic sounds like now. You should end up with a graph at the bottom that looks something vaguely like this: With the room as quiet as possible and the mic on, click on the 'Automatically build noise profile button' - let it run for a couple of seconds and then click it again to turn it off. Left-click on Light Host and select the new reafir_standalone plugin and click edit. Your VB cable icon will likely look different from mine. Right click it and set it to both the default and default communication device. In this list you should see the VB-Audio Virtual Cable again. Now right click on your speaker icon and select 'Sounds', and move to the recording tab. Go to your sound settings for both the mic and the virtual cable and make sure their sample rates are set to the same number (usually 16 bit, 48khz).

Make sure the input is set to the mic you want to use, e.g. We're going to make Virtual Cable be this new 'microphone.' In simple terms, Light Host needs somewhere to send your mic audio. If you have done it correctly, you'll now see reafir in the 'Active Plugins' list in the Light Host menu. Left-click the Light Host icon again and you should now see 'Cockos' in the Available plugins menu. Scan the directory you installed the Reaper VST and you should now see a list of various plugins.
