Hello everyone, as the title says, is there a way I can make my microphone not to catch those sounds? I have a Samson Meteor Mic and I cannot seem to manage to do it as the big youtubers do it.
For them it seems to catch just the voice and no mouse keyboard noises.
 
Download audacity. Then use the noise removal tool. There a loads of guides online for doing that. Its what I use for all my videos as background noise can be really annoying
 
The best way is to get a mic that isn't omnidirectional. That being, there are ways to remove using audacity for FL studio, but those will never be as clean as clean input audio.
 
I find scissor keys to be more quiet than most. Mechanical keyboards will be the loudest. There is a mouse modification that you can do if you have a cheap mouse. Otherwise if it's an expensive gaming mouse, I wouldn't bother doing it.
 
Use a dynamic mic and speak close to the mic and you will not pick up any background noises.

Sound's Like the obvious thing but placement is important if you have a mic arm make sure your microphone is not right next to the keys and closer to your mouth i tend to have mine just of at the side but others on here may know more about placement than i do
 
you can use audacity like everyone else has said, but sometimes I like to here my keyboard on recording so I keep it.
 
In most editing programs there will be an equivalent to a cut or razor tool, use this to cut out any silence or dead air (time's where you are not talking) If the difference between this new silence and the background of when you were talking is too great fill it with room tone, or the sound of the area you are recording vocals with no one talking for about 30 seconds, use that to fill the gaps! When you are speaking most keyboard sounds will be covered!

Someone mentioned not using an omnidirectional mic, this means don't use one with a cardioid pickup pattern which is like an orb that picks up all sound that can be heard in the aforementioned orb! I personally do use a cardioid mic, a sm58 to be precise. But if the issue persists invest in a shotgun mic which are produced by a company called SURE these mics have a hyper cardioid pickup pattern which looks like a carrot! Pointing the microphone towards you mouth (6-8 inches away of course, like all microphones excluding lapel mics) will lock in your voice and nothing else!

- Cheers! Let me know if you have any more questions! :)
