anyone know a good resource for upgrading a mic setup? I'm not a streamer but figured people in here may know. Mostly for work meetings and gaming. Budget 100-250$ at most, depending on what will give me most value. Someone who has great audio recommended the Rode PodMic but I learned that to get the most out of that you kinda need their mixer console thing which is like 500$ and definitely overkill for me
Avatar
I mean from a basic mic that is a headset with normal voice to something like a Yeti blackout you will notice a huge difference. The blackout is around 125 or so. I got mine used for 75. However then you can REALLY uograde depending on how much you want to go. I also suggest the Rig800 since you mentioned gaming. I use it still and if you add Dolby Atmos it is great. But not sure if with your work you can have a full gaming headset on or no? best of luck @maloik!
Avatar
I'll be swapping these between my personal and work computer using a usb switch, so the gaming headset is out. I want to wear simple earbuds or my great audio headphones during work

I usually play on diety but you need to be focussed to do so and its hard to be focussed with a newborn gaha
Avatar
@maloik I got the blue yeti mic (same as blackout, different color) on Prime Day one year for like $80 new. If its not urgent, maybe wait for like black Friday / cyber Monday weekend to get good equipment cheap. Like Shane said, very noticeable difference. In the meantime you can probably get a decent headset forr less than $30 as a temporary
Avatar
I already have a gaming headset, I just don't like wearing it for work meetings
Avatar
how was everyone's weekend? c:
Avatar
Thank you for all the kind messages everyone. It’s really does mean a lot ❤️
Avatar
OHH I see for meetings. Yeah the Yeti are really nice, but maybe keep an eye and see if you can catch a sale. If you're not worried about which color, check Amazon. One type of color of something is usually cheaper.

I've seen people say they didn't like them. Currently thinking of getting the Rode NT-USB and their boom arm

Yeah I'm sure there's plenty of other options. Just speaking from my own experience 🙂

@maloik you could also look into the elgato wave: 3. I haven't used one personally but I hear really good things. 159.99 normally but sold out almost everywhere and price gouging is outrageous on these and most of the other good USB mics
Avatar
AuntieYosu 8/24/2020 6:50 PM
@maloik I’m pretty much flat broke but still needed a better mic. Wound up getting a Tonor TC-777 for my interim mic. I think I paid around $40 for it on Amazon. It gets the job done and most people say my audio quality is good. My only real complaint is the USB cord isn’t quite long enough with the boom arm I have. Just thought I’d throw the suggestion out there.

Yeah I like discord as an option cause I can actually chat and connect with people while we're offline. Homie Mater Rage there and I have been in and out of each others streams for a few months now trying to help each other out. Just sent him the join link. He'll be a solid addition here

What do yall do when you hit a wall and arent really seeing any new people or followers in chat, or maybe even losing followers over time?
Avatar
Cohh gave some advice. Basic idea, check when there aren't a lot of big streamers on and stream at that time for a better chance. Try to be positive. Engaging. Play popular games.

Hit 50 followers tonight, thanks to anyone who came out and watched 😄

congratulations dude!

Congrats.

Big streamers and popular games aren't necessarily the problem though. Yes the big boys have a big viewer pull, but there's still hundreds of people streaming many games, especially the popular ones. I've had more viewers when starting up a lesser known or played game at times. I like to play early access stuff because, among other reasons, people are searching for those games to see what they look like and how they play.

@eyezak network , grind , talk to other streamers.
Avatar
leap frogging off of @CorceTV's comment about lesser known game's, I just grabbed a paid beta for a new game from a new studio that I'm guessing people were scared to gamble money on. I just started 2 weeks ago and get maybe 15 unique viewers in a 2 hour stream but managed to pull in 60 in the middle of the night playing this new beta that I'm guessing people wanted to learn about

There are lots of people out there that enjoying company, and talking to other members of a community or even streamers is good. Imagine like making friends, you start with someone that shares wither some interest or has a similar point of view in life, friendship brings other people , and then others and others

Just saying , dont feel like you're hitting a wall because you're not growing , take your time, relax, enjoy the community , things do come in their time, but its a marathon @eyezak PeepoLove

Gotta keep up with your stream pals, rather than just promoting your channel endlessly. Just don't force it for viewership

I’m working on revamping my channel a bit because I’ve been feeling stagnant. All I played consistently until now was Persona 4 Golden and Hearthstone. Since the new Hearthstone expansion came out my viewer count dropped off a cliff and I’m done with P4G until I’m ready to try and speedrun it. I used to have a small group that would come in every night before the Hearthstone expansion. For me I found playing old obscure DOS games brings in viewers. We also got a new PC in my house so I can try other new games. So I’d say try new things, experiment with things you don’t normally play, and try to network when possible (don’t slack like I have been lately). Growth takes time. Also just be yourself. That’s a big thing.

Holy crap. Didn’t mean to write an essay there.
Avatar
yeah I know before I started watching streamers for their personalities, I was mostly curious in learning about games I wanted to buy. if you have the time, money and/or patience to try new/obscure stuff I think there's a big chunk of viewers out there that appreciate that
Avatar
hello folks, so I was reading this thread and it touched a nerve a bit https://www.reddit.com/r/streaming/comments/ieepa6/this_entire_sub_if_follow_4_follow_and_it_fucking/ Do you think, running a weekly megathread, auto sorted by new (because link validity is only a few hours on twitch) dedicated to "this is my channel" and restricting self promo posts, could be a good way to appease the people that want to link their streams, and those complaining that the sub is just a sea of essentially dead links (edited)
4:31 PM
and thanks for the discord shoutout @maaliktomtom 😄
Avatar
it honestly couldn't hurt
4:32 PM
the handful of times I did post I did get a few follow 4 follows, which of course never watched
4:32 PM
I've already engaged with the people that have reached out in here much more
4:32 PM
I think as long as it's made obvious to direct people here, I think the sub could kind of be about anything
4:33 PM
the growth I've achieved in here probably already can't compare to what I could have done with the sub alone
Avatar
The reddit format doesn't lend itself to such short timeframe posts I don't think, as in someone just drops their links describes their channel, and a few hours later it's just not relevant anymore so there's no possibility for engagement. I have seen some good posts on there where people have really started a conversation about their channel, and it had a good response, but it's certainly in the minority.
Avatar
yeah you're definitely right about that first point
4:36 PM
but I don't think it would be entirely hard to populate the sub with good content either
4:36 PM
as someone new all the stuff in the #tutorials channel has been immensely helpful
4:36 PM
maybe a faq or wiki to start
4:36 PM
hell every video in that channel could be its own quality post lol
Avatar
maybe a faq or wiki to start
Yeah, perhaps copying over and maintaining a wiki with the stuff posted in #tutorials would be a good idea, both as a better record and an easier place to find that content
Avatar
like the top post right now is already a great start imo
4:41 PM
it's not self-promotion, it's a cross-post, and it's something to foster discussion
4:41 PM
if we make an active effort to comment on these (I'll come up with something), then people will feel more motivated to post similar stuff
Avatar
lately i've been thinking that being affiliate actually isnt that great guys haha
4:58 PM
sure you can now make money
4:58 PM
but i think the pre-roll ads really kills new viewers coming in
4:59 PM
any thoughts?

maaliktomtom 8/25/2020 5:02 PM
Disagree. I get higher viewer numbers post affiliate than i did before
5:03 PM
And ive made about 200 dollars from it. Pretty happy tbh

nice, congrats brother

@maaliktomtom i appreciate the response man. if you dont mind me asking, how long have you been streaming for total and what kind of games do you play? (edited)
Avatar
maaliktomtom 8/25/2020 5:31 PM
In total? Since november but only really started in march. Throughout march and april i streamed a lot and made affiliate. Since june i have barely streamed
5:31 PM
I play old games. Rome total war, command and conquer, red alert, halo. My biggest game is civ vi

Anyone here play Pokemon TCG online? I do not, and opened up some packs on stream the other day, and wanted to give the codes away before I trashed them.

@maaliktomtom thanks for the reply!

Something that could help get more engagement on the sub would be establishing certain days of the week for specific types of content, for example: software and hardware discussion and troubleshooting, volunteer channel critique, community tips for actually growing as a streamer (instead of doing F4F and link spamming), news about streaming platforms / new software /new hardware, etc
7:06 PM
This way, people could keep posting about their channels, but there would be a small push for more variety on the sub
Avatar
That's a good idea ^^^ I appreciate that everyone is trying to help each other out but it would be nice if there was more engagement in other posts.

Hey, all. Quick lunch break so I'm catching up on this thread. @Misio we were discussing that last night. The sub reddit is flooded with promo posts and it makes it hard to want to revisit. I'd try and cut promos completely if not down to a mega thread. I think the viewers who are interested in finding people in that manner would check the thread, and I'd be interested in helping fill the sub with real content like tutorials or gameplay, software discussions, etc. A lot of the posts are "help me get to affiliate!l and it's just like... Why should I? No interaction with the community, just demanding viewers.

Morning all
Avatar
Yeah I've been following it for a while. Played the most recent (I think beta). It seemed good in concept, felt a little dull, but it was also an alpha/beta which are typically unfinished. I think the game's gonna end up being run by people who have played beta and alpha a lot and know how to rush-capture towns. I'm gonna check it out tonight, though, and see how it feels. Been months since I played.
