What do you see on the screen and how to fix it
| Symptom | Check first | Do it |
|---|---|---|
| Allow microphone access for Thunderstream in system settings, then try again. | Could not start the microphone. Check the selected input device. | Open: Microphone. Click: Start microphone monitoring |
| The beginnings of words disappear | Gate or damping too strong | Loosen the threshold and compare the raw recording. |
| The voice sounds metallic | Denoising too strong | Reduce the intensity or compare another method. |
| Cracking noise when screaming | Input clipping | Lower the device gain before the filters. |
| The background grows after each sentence | Too much compression or gain | Reduce the filter effect and its output gain. |
| You hear yourself with a delay | Listening returns from the program or LIVE | Disable unnecessary monitoring, leaving the correct output. |
| The meter works, the file is silent | The source does not appear on the recording track | Check Advanced Sound Properties. |

- Save the changes using the button assigned to the edited function. If there are separate forms, check each changed part separately.
- Open the settings again and compare the most important values. Simply moving the slider does not always mean a permanent save.
- Check the result outside the editor itself: on the target scene, in the recording, or in the reopened configuration.
- If the function uses the platform, separately acknowledge the new handled event during the active LIVE. Don't expect the appearance test to confirm account authorization.
- Save the working values and make a copy before the next major change. Next time you start up, start with a quick check.
