A year ago we went over what it takes to make an awesome streaming/conference set up on the cheap, or even for ZERO dollars. Today we're revisiting this idea with a modest budget to see how much of a difference upgrading your setup can really make.

I thought it looked pretty bad in this video, which matches my experience shooting video on an A5000 a few years ago.

I’d recommend the Focusrite Scarlet Solo bundle cause the interface is better than Behringer’s, you get a pretty nice condenser mic included, the cables you need to get up and running, and even some decent headphones too. Roughly $270 USD? It’s a great starter pack - only other thing you’d need to get is a mic stand of some sort, be it a clamp one on the desk or a traditional mic stand

@8bit_coder 3 года назад

@@danieljensen2626 His EQ was hot garbage. As a guy who's worked with audio and sound for almost 8 years at this point, it's just that he didn't EQ the high end back into his SM48. SM48 and 58 can shine with a good EQ and compressor, and voicemeeter just isn't cut out for that unless you know what you're doing. Although, he IS right about the cheap capture cards, I have some and they're awesome little things. His camera really didn't do the capture cards justice though.

@jabuki2 3 года назад

Good video. Thank you for mentioning voice meeter, it's crucial free software for proper system-wide audio control. I've been recommending the Behringer UMC22 with Shure pga48 combo for years. Everyone always grabs a snowball, then realizes you are just trying to mic your voice, not the entire room and neighbors dog. I personally prefer as little overlay as possible. Viewers really don't care about last follows and donations being on-screen constantly. I highly suggest streams make a simple slide show looping all their social links as a watermark so that if a clip goes viral people know where to find you. Beyond that a Starting, brb, and ending screen is about all the overlay most streams need.

Yes! Finally someone shines light on using dynamic Shures for this (other than the pro looking over popular sm7) I think people think it looks wrong to use them by a desk. The best thing about the sure SM series handheld mics, is how ridiculously many you can find for cheap on the used market. Don't buy a new SM48 if you can find a nice used SM58beta, which sounds really great. It doesn't sound entirely the same as an SM7 of course, but it's really comparable with the same dry dynamic mic character.

He means under 100%. A lot of phones run the internals from battery power only, so putting a big constant drain on the battery while also trying to keep the charge at full is a great way to make the battery pack swell up and break things or even ignite. Some alter their behaviour when connected to slow or rapid chargers too, with rapid chargers generally being the better bet to avoid battery killing action (counter to what should be done for battery longevity under normal phone use). It's all very poorly documented and model-specific information.

Voice meter is also a good option if you are using something like the rode podmic ($100). Voice meter combined with nvidia broadcast allows you to avoid buying something like the dac/amplifier you would normally need for xlr.

I use a dynamic mic (a Sennheiser e840) without a Audio Interface and just use a $7 Xlr to Usb cable. Obviously having a Audio Interface is better but if you already have a dynamic mic lying around and on a tight budget it works surprisingly well.

@chaseaustinmusic 3 года назад

@Krazy Kommando I own a Focusrite interface (my is built in to power a condenser mic) and highly recommend it; however I mainly use it for my DAW program but its also perfect for anyone looking to do live streams. My advice is to fine ones that have a short latency (very crucial) though depending on programs and your computer specs (quote Linus)“your mileage my very”.

For microphone I am rocking the XLR version Audio-Technica AT2020, and on a Rode PSA1 stand. For lighting I am currently using a Elgato Key Light that Linus mentioned in this video too, it works very well. Where my streaming setup falls a little short is my camera, as of now I am just using a knockoff GoPro called GitUp Git2P. As long as I have plenty of lighting it gets the job done, and I already had it laying around so it made sense to use.

Yup I have the Behringer UMC22 and XM8500 and had the blue yeti for many years before, and I got to say for the price it sounds so much better! It powers my headphones too with built-in monitoring.

@AllanZax 3 года назад

@@Veetiful Haha ummm nope. Just because you dont know any better it doesnt mean that Behringer is a good deal 😄 I've used their soundcards and know exactly how bad they are (sound quality, preamps, driver support) and there are much much better solutions at its pricerange out there like anything from PreSonus, Focusrite or even RME. I've been in the music production business for more than 20 years and everyone serious enough about audio will tell you the same thing to stay away from that cheapo Behringer brand. If you are happy with your Behringer product then more power to you, but please dont fanboy-up them above their place in the audio world which is the rock-bottom. ;)

The microphone makes a much bigger difference than the interface.

@cmdr-reflipd 3 года назад

Nope, not true. The interface is extremely important. Latency!

@amadensor 3 года назад

@@cmdr-reflipd latency on an audio interface is important, but audio quality is so much more about the microphone. If the audio interface is affecting sounds quality anywhere near what the microphone is doing, that is the world's worst audio interface. I actually very much dislike the tone of the Midas preamps and a to d converters, but the microphone is still bigger.

@Cosmstack 3 года назад

@@cmdr-reflipd From my experience, that is just not true. There's not a second of latency, especially not when using an Asio4All driver. You can easily get it down to 10 ms. Are there better interfaces? Absolutely, but the behringer one is a very good bang for the buck version and the latency is fine. Also, most programs compensate for the latency. Usually latency only becomes an issue when monitoring

@markambrose1910 3 года назад

AT2020 has been my go to, got the advice from a radio dj who got into streaming. If you have a mixer with phantom power then the Audio Technica AT2020 will up your sound game 10 fold. Add a Yamaha MG10XU Mixer and your viewers will be blown away by your new sound setup.

@ThePointblank 3 года назад

I would recommend going the Canon route for the camera; the T3 and T3i and above, and the PowerShot G5X Mark II, G7X Mark III, and SX70 HS are compatible with the Canon EOS Webcam Utility, which also removes the need for a capture card. Just hook up the camera directly to the PC via USB, and you'll get a clean output which can be selected as a webcam source.

@SneakyFirefox5 3 года назад

@@snow1337 The built-in pop filter is something I'm new to, but it's saved me the trouble of frankensteining one onto it (like I've done for my previous mics). The adjustable sound profiles help whenever there is background noise that I want to tune out. I don't intend on getting a mic arm (since I've got a cosy little space for the mic to stand in between my consoles), but I've heard from some streamer friends that the mount adapter works well, and fits onto their arms as intended. The tap-to-mute thing is handy, though I've only ever had experience with clunky press-and-hold-to-mute microphones, so I can't really compare to others. Oh, and the RGB is a nice touch. When looking through the internal pop filter, I think I see 16 total LEDs. 8 on top, 8 on bottom. The only con I have with the RGB is the fact that since there's a pretty hefty gap between the top and bottom, there's a small area in the dead middle where the light is less bright. I found the fact that you have to plug in a Type-C into the back of the mic, as well as the Type-A into my PC, however, quite irritating. I wish the mic cable was simply built into the mic rather than having to be plugged in on both sides. I think that, unless you already have a really high-end microphone that offers most of the comforts the Quadcast S provides, that this is worth its price. I've been using it since January of this year, and it's been an invaluable upgrade from my previous JLab Talk mic. Overall: 8/10, would recommend. :)
