The only thing that works everytime is using a noise filter like Waves, but I do lose sound quality that way. I once got a quiet recording in Sonar, once upon a time, but for the life of me I can't remember how I did it. In this screen, you are given access to adding different audio filters to your mic track. On the main screen of OBS you can click the gear on your microphone audio device and click Filters.

It almost seems that Sonar is amplifying the signal, and I end up getting a result that are like a webcam microphone - you know the type that amplify everything so even background noises sound incredibly loud. Thankfully, OBS Studio gives us some of these tools built in to help lower that background noise while still making your voice heard.

I wondered if Edison was automatically using a noise gate, but adding noise gates doesn't really work well. However, its way too much in Sonar, and I don't understand why Edison, FL Studio's recording plugin automatically records with extremely good sound quality first time.Now FL Studio doesn't have the kind of power Sonar does so its quite possible I'm not checking the right settings, but what could they be? Now, I tend to use it solely for laying down temporary backing tracks while I'm working on an arrangement or lyrics for a song, so a little background hum isn't a problem at that stage. My problems occur when I use it in Sonar Producer.

I've used it in FL Studio with no problems. Its not a great mic, but its good for my purposes. Too much background noise in Sonar, but none in FL Studio.
