  1. At2020 Not Picking Up Sound Sounds

The AT2020 is recognized and running the windows troubleshooting program comes back with no detected problems. The UM2 seems to be recognized as both a speaker and a microphone. The signal light on the UM2 is off but the power is on. More details can be provided if needed. Jun 25, 2014 Sooooo. Today when I was about to start my stream, my mic suddenly stopped picking audio,after working for about ½ a year no hiccups. I've tested the microphone, and it's working just fine, so it's definitely an OBS issue, and I've tried everything I can think of:/ The mic in question is my.

I have recently purchased an AT2020 microphone along with a Scarlett 2i2 Interface. I have installed all drivers and made sure that my default mic was set to the interface. When I press record in Audacity, no sound is picked up at all. I have checked other recording programs to make sure Audacity was not the problem. None of them could pick up my voice or any sound I made. I restarted my computer, checked the gain on the interface, just about everything, but I still can't get any sound. Nothing is working, no matter what I look up. I need serious assistance. I just need this AT2020 to pick up sound.

Audio Technica AT2020: Help with too much background noise
So i’m using my microphone for live streaming games and lets plays and youtube
I may have made a mistake in buying a Audio Technica AT2020 USB a while back ,
it picks up WAY TOO much background noise.
A tiny soft bird tweets in the background. The mike picks that up Including the other background noise i don’t want.
I’m using Windows 7 and Abeltone Live
For live streaming The only way I can make it work is by having the record level really low, then on Abeltone Live adding lots of heavy noise reduction , then amplify the resulting audio.
It works ....But i do lose some sound quality for live streaming
It is not as bad when i’m recording audio for later so I can clean that up, but it could still be improved
Looking for input on how to reduce the noise ideally by dampening or muffling the microphone since i’m don’t have a proper studio. I’ve done what I can with the room itself to reduce noise.
As a test I tried putting some thick cloth material around the mike. This did seem to help but I thought there would be some more professional suggestions or options to reduce the background noise and pick up my voice fine without losing audio quality.
