#### Using an EQ in OBS
Sadly, OBS doesn't include an equalizer. But it does support something called VST. VST are plugins you can use for processing, effects and virtual synts in most professional audio editing programs. For this tutorial, I'll be using ReaPlugs, which is a set of free VST plugins provided by Reaper. You can download ReaPlugs [here](https://www.reaper.fm/reaplugs/). It's important to get the proper version (32-bit or 64-bit) for you OBS install. Make sure to download ReaPlugs via the links on the page. Don't click the "DOWNLOAD REAPER" at the top of the page, that's for a Reaper, a fully-featured audio editing software which we won't be needing.

After installing ReaPlugs and restarting OBS, go to the `Audio Mixer` section and click the gear icon for the Mic/Aux input. In the menu that pops up, select `Filters`. You'll now see the audio filters window for your microphone input in OBS. To add the ReaPlugs equalizer, click the `+` button in the bottom left, select `VST 2.x Plug-in`, and give it a name. Then click `{Please select a plugin}` and select `reaeq-standalone` in the dropdown menu and click the `Open Plug-in Interface` button.

- **Blue Yeti:** Being a condenser studio microphone, it will pick up a huge amount of background noise. Additionally, it's actually quite over-priced for the quality you get for it. The built in USB interface of it is also not particularly great.
- **Gaming Headsets:** The microphones built into gaming headsets are generally added as an afterthought, and are usually not of the quality you'd expect looking at the amount of money you pay for them. It's generally a better idea to buy a separate headset mic you can attach to a pair of headphones you already own. I'll have a couple of options for those later on.
With those hot takes out of the way, I'll get on with the things I *do* recommend buying. While I'm ordering these by price, that doesn't mean you should buy the most expensive one you can afford. I'm including microphones of various form factors in here, that are suited better for different people based on use case and personal preference. With that said, here are my picks. All of the microphones on this list have an XLR connector and will require an USB-XLR interface unless otherwise specifid. My picks for interfaces will be further down this page.
