P.S: I dont want to have the noise removed from my recording, i want the noise from from my microphone, so i dont have to remove the noise from my recordings I have tried to uninstall the driver multiple times, but it haven’t fixed the problem. With a regular microphone preamp, you can turn-down the gain to reduce the noise when the signal is strong enough. I would assume most “studio style” USB mics $100 - $300 USD) have lower noise than yours. A better USB mic should have lower noise. Since you can’t do anything about the noise (with your existing hardware setup), the only thing you can do is try to get a strong signal (get louder, or get closer to the mic).Ī better preamp will have lower noise than a cheap preamp.
