Top 3 Livestream Audio Myths That Won’t Die (but Need To 😅)
There are a LOT of bad ideas floating around about how to make your livestream mix sound “better.”
Let’s clear some of that up 👇
🎤 Myth #1 – “Add more reverb so it sounds bigger.”
You don’t need a worship cathedral on your stream. Reverb on livestream audio can make it muddy and distant if not dialed correctly. Keep it natural. The “air” people want to hear actually comes from room mics, not plugins.
🧠 Myth #2 – “It’s fine if the mix clips — Facebook/YouTube will normalize it.”
That’s like saying, “It’s fine if the car hits the wall — airbags will fix it.”Once your signal distorts, it’s baked in.Always leave a few dB of headroom before your limiter.
🎧 Myth #3 – “Headphones are enough to monitor.”
Not even close. Always check your livestream on real devices — a phone, a TV, a laptop.You’ll be shocked how different it sounds outside your booth.
⚡ Truth: A great livestream mix isn’t louder, brighter, or wetter — it’s balanced, consistent, and human.
