Keyboard way too loud?

[LavaBucket]

Hello MC-Market,

I currently use the Razer Deathstalker for my keyboard and is way too loud in my videos. It's mostly my space bar that is loud, but is there any way you can think of that can fix this? I also use sony vegas to edit, and I tried using the sound gate/noise gate but for me to even make the keyboard in the video quiet the sound gate will remove my actual voice lol. It would be really appreciated if you could help, please and thank you!

Audacity ~ Get Noise Profile ~ Noise Reduction ~ Normalize

I sound really really stupid right now but... how would I edit the audio if its a mp4 file. Like my audio is not separate?

Just make a seperate file,

K I did that... kind of a dumb question now I am going to have to watch some tutorials on how to use it

Yeah I don't really like mechanical keyboards anymore I would just buy a flat key- keyboard much like the apple keyboards.

Meh,

I don't see a big deal with keyboards. My friend has a pretty loud keyboard everytime were in a Skype or discord call and everytime he types I can hear it. But although it gets annoying you get use to it. So.

Its annoying for my roleplay series that I do for YouTube...

What sort of microphone do you use? Ideally, you should have one that's close to your face but far away from your keyboard.

Also, see if you can get a mic that has a single direction that it can record from. mics like those are designed to focus on one source of sound while reducing all others. You'll need to do a bit of research into the type of microphone you need.

I have one of the top of the line mics I use the At2020 some famous youtubers use like bajancanadian, deadlox and many more.

Edit: Also, my mic is close to my face and decently far from my keyboard but the At2020 is picking up a lot lol. I also have a filter on the mic.

Then you likely need to reposition it

Trust me there is no where I can really move it to where its at... its on the right side of my desk in front of my face... and my keyboard is on the right side of my desk (kind of hard to explain)

No settings you can tweak? Reduce the sensitivity and talk a bit more loudly, or simply amplify it a little after that.
Apart from that, using audacity to record audio separately might work, as it would let you immediately make the noise removal edits without having to first rip your audio off the mp4 file.
