Audio Configuration & Filters
Overview
LiveLens provides a professional-grade audio mixer and processing suite. You can manage multiple audio sources, apply real-time filters to your microphone, and monitor your own voice with low latency.
🎚️ Mixer Toggles
The Mixer section allows you to control the basic audio flow of your stream.
Microphone Controls
- Mute Microphone: Instantly disable all audio input from your phone's mic.
- Stereo Microphone Capture: Enable this to capture high-quality spatial audio.
- Smart Fallback: If your device hardware does not support stereo recording, LiveLens will automatically fall back to Mono to ensure your stream always has audio.
- Microphone Monitoring: Enable this to hear your own voice (with all filters applied) through your headphones.
- Note: Using headphones is highly recommended when monitoring to prevent echo.
System & App Audio
- Mute Internal Audio: Toggle sounds coming from your games and other applications.
- Sync with System Volume: When enabled, you can control the app's internal mixer volume using your phone's physical volume buttons.
- Capture Voice Chat: Use this to include voice chat from other apps (like Discord or In-Game chat) directly into your stream mix via Direct Mixer Injection.
🛠️ Advanced Processing (Filters)
Clean up your audio and make your voice sound professional with real-time filters.
1. Gain & Threshold
- Microphone Gain Boost: Increase the raw volume of your microphone (up to 5x). Useful if your headset mic is naturally quiet.
- Noise Gate Threshold: Cuts off all audio below a certain volume level. This is perfect for removing "dead air" or slight background hum when you aren't speaking.
2. Frequency & Hardware Filters
- High-Pass Filter (HPF): Removes low-frequency "rumble" noise caused by ceiling fans, wind, or air conditioners.
- Hardware Noise Suppression: Utilizes your phone's system-level noise cleaning algorithms to remove consistent background noise.
- Hardware Echo Cancellation: Prevents your speakers' output from being picked up by the microphone and creating a loop.
- Auto Gain Control (AGC): Automatically adjusts your volume on the fly so your voice remains at a consistent level, even if you move closer to or further from the mic.
