Do not exceed the gain of more than 40% [11 o'clock] or it will begin to decline in signal quality and what is clear will be transformed into distortion and decoupling, be careful, leave it at 40% more or less [not more than half] but boost the signal from the gain of the software you use [OBS, Speachy, Audacity, VSTHost, etc] this will allow you to monitor a clean signal to begin with. ...
