Hi, I'm new around here.
I've been using a Neewer NW-700 Condenser Microphone and a Neewer 1-Channel 48V Phantom Power Supply directly connected into my PCs Rear microphone input for the past year. Recently I've gotten into streaming to twitch and recording to youtube and never realized until now how bad my microphone sounds. What i mean by bad is I either have to choose between sounding decent with a ton of white noise, or sounding terrible with no white noise when recording. Another issue is every mic I've had in the past has been so quiet unless I boost to around +20db, which introduces a lot more white noise. Without boosting however, my microphone is too quiet and noone can hear me. So I started doing some research on how to be rid of the white noise. I'm very confused on what I should buy, whether it be a mixer, a preamp, an external audio interface, etc. The only thing i've looked at so far is a BEHRINGER U-PHORIA UM2 audio interface.
One last thing to note, I have a dog that barks almost constantly so if there's any way to make it so he can't be heard in recordings and on my stream that doesn't sacrifice microphone quality, I'd love to hear about it. On obs currently he really isn't triggering the noise gate but I'm not sure if I get a new setup if he will be more audible.
Any kind of insight into my issue and how to solve it would be greatly appreciated.
