How to Record Without Background Noise in OBS?

Krisp is a noise-canceling app which completely removes background noises while recording podcasts or video interviews on OBS.

The integrated HD voice maintains the best quality for your audio throughout the entire recording without requiring extra post-production editing. You won’t need a studio-like setup anymore as the tool prevents sound looping between your speaker and the mic while also canceling room echoes.

You can also use it to automatically block surrounding noises on your real-time meetings, video recordings, or webinars on both ends of the conversation.

Using multiple apps simultaneously? You can use Krisp in a lower power mode if you want to reduce your CPU usage and save your battery’s power. And it works on any app that allows you to add Krisp as the audio source — OBS, Zoom, Audacity, Adobe Audition, and more included.

Once you have done with adjusting settings, click Apply on the bottom right corner and then click OK.
