Omg I was worried the audio I was editing was terrible but I went and listened to my other videos and my audio always sounds shit so we good. I’m buying a new mic what should I get? I’m also looking up tutorials on how to make the audio sound better which I think is helping we will see I’m not re recording it it sounds the same quality as my last video

Just don't buy any "influencer packs" with a cheap USB mic and shitty Software. I would recommend an external soundcard (there are decent in the 100 eurobucks range around here) and a "real" microphone with xlr3 cable and a Membrane that picks up Sound relatively narrow. I don't know the right terms in english tho, sorry. When mixing your voice you should look up some tutorials on Compression, it's pretty easy to do and is what most people look for when they want their voice to "Sound good".

Depends on your budget. Yeti is TERRIBLE. Usb mics are usually trash to barely acceptable at best. I would recommend an XLR setup for best quality. Start with the usb audio interface. This one is 39.99 on amazon. Might find it cheaper elsewhere. https://rb.gy/kzhq3z Behringer U-Phoria UM2 USB interface(none of these links are affiliates so I'm not making money if you click on them, just trying to help.)You'll then need a stand of some type. This is really going to come down to personal preference, but you can find a wide variety on amazon or many other places. If you're used to the Yeti, here is one that should do a similar job for 8.99.https://rb.gy/pv6ozvYou will need an XLR cable. I would give you a suggestion, but I have no clue what length you will need for your setup. They're not expensive, anywhere from 5-20 bucks. Finally comes the microphones. The Behringer XM8500 comes in at 29.99. It's a no non-sense microphone that delivers great audio, no frills. https://rb.gy/znytn8The Shure PGA48 is another good choice with solid build quality, even comes with an XLR cable so if you purchase it, you won't need to purchase one separately. It comes in at $45.https://rb.gy/8vphvgThe Shure SM48 does a lot that the PGA48 does without a cable though and comes in at $38.95.https://rb.gy/viuwf6At the cheapest level, you're looking at $87, which when you compare to a yeti could be cheaper depending on which model you've purchased. This might seem daunting, but if you're serious about audio quality, you need to break away from the usb mics. I have to say, you have done some real magic making your audio sound as good as it does. With this kind of setup, you won't have to work quite so hard. Good luck, and I look forward to more videos from you! I recommend your channel to everyone I know who is into your kind of content.

Pick any of Sure or AKG studio mics from large diaphragm condenser series. Any, even cheapest, pro studio mic will be just fine for streaming. Just remember that every mouth sound will be caught by it so buy popstopper (the round canvas thing you put between your face and mic) with it. Usually pro mics come with rubber suspension kit that screws on standard mic stand, so you should be covered there. Do not buy them used, as a single drop on hard surface can destroy the thing. SM27 has fair price and sounds amazing, also good for musical instrument or ambient sound sampling. Dynamic range is enough to hear whispers during a gunshot. https://www.shure.com/en-GB/products/microphones/sm27?variant=SM27-LCOne thing though - you will need to power it from 48V phantom power, so you need a small mixer or mic preamp - anything that gives you phantom power output. Probably they have something that can be powered from USB too, IDK, I have not messed with streaming gear, only with pro sound and this one was fairly nice for that price.

Oh and length just on my desk I like to sit and be comfy at the moment I have a foam panel I set behind my mic and a blanket I set under to absorb reverb

Oh, right, right, I did not mean specifically streaming, but direct PC use. making videos, sampling speech / vocals directly to PC. USB has 5V output. Pro mics use 48V phantom power. So with studio mic you would need some 48V phantom power supply for the mic. Or external ADC with 48V support. Like this one:https://www.thomann.de/gb/focusrite_scarlett_2i2_3rd_gen.htmActually external ADC is always a nice idea. And large diaphragm condenser will give you all the crisp you ever wanted and more.Also, for sampling, and long hours of use I'd highly recommend closed back circum-aural (goes around ears - less pressure to ears, can be worn long time with no discomfort) studio headphones that has no bass boost or any distortions, that are just flat in response, so you can master with objective reference of what will be heard in final recording.My moderate-cost favorites are K271 from AKGhttps://www.akg.com/Headphones/Professional%20Headphones/K271MKII.htmlClosed back gives you isolation form outside noises and super low feedback from mic while sampling.They can give you headache or dizziness for extra long mixing sessions though. You want Open or semi-open phones for that. My favorite there would be K141 because they have very nice price / performance ratio. https://www.akg.com/support/K141MKII.htmlThey seem to be discontinued though. I have no idea what is the recommended replacement. These used to be literal studio standard for more than 50 years. Another thing why I love AKG is that all parts are replaceable. You can actually get soft pads or auto-adjusting strap for literally 50 years old phones as spare part. Just download service manual and ask rep for part number. Cables, of course, are on connector - user replaceable too.Soo, yeah, that's my personal pick, check with your local AKG and Sure reps. Don't get the small shitty lavalieres they will try to sell you, if you tell them it's for peach. Get large diaphragm condenser - if anything, that's that's the key to take from my rant.

Yup, yup, you're on the right way. Just one more thing. Not all XLR mics are condenser. If it does not need 48V power (like Shure PG48) - it's not condenser. Those are dynamic mics - they have coil not condenser inside. They are meant to be yelled at on stage. They are good for limiting feedback from speakers and not sensitive to all the noise around. But that makes them not nearly as sensitive and they have shit dynamic range. So there wont be that crisp you are looking for with using it in studio.
