Learning time: 5 min

This section will be completely dedicated to audio.

We've already seen in Step 3: Learning the Building Blocks section how to add our microphone to a specific scene. In the source panel go to "+", select Audio Input Capture and then select your microphone from the list. As soon as you add the audio source, it will appear in the Audio Meter

In the audio meter we find three areas: the green, the yellow and the red one. The audio should most often be in the green/yellow area, only seldom touching the red area. If the audio is constantly in the red area it's likely that it is clipping, which means it will be distorted.

In the next lesson we'll learn how to improve our microphone audio with noise suppression and compression and how to listen to and check our voice in our headphones.
