Oh hi there 
Well, picked this up for the home office. Digital mixer with WiFi and Ethernet, eight XLR/combo inputs with independent phantom power switching. This will definitely add an extra little something to my setup

Pretty good. Heading to sleep soon 
. Good weekend for me. How are you?

Quick question, who is using audio interfaces vs. mixers?
I just use a GoXLR, kinda does everything for me.
Very basic stuff
@Chorazin Have you looked at this mic yet? I'm thinking about testing it: https://www.presonus.com/products/Revelator

USB isn't for me.
I know, but I know you share my curiousity for tech stuff

Oh I totally do, but now USB Mics are basically dead to me as I have the GoXLR.
Using a go-pro into a camlink
Totally a good route to go. The GoPro's ISO flexibility is nice
As my capture card only does that anyway

Stuck in a work meeting
Pretty ok afternoon here, the weather is gorgeous so all the windows are open. I keep staring at my wall in between sessions of getting stuff done at work thinking how I want to put these up 
Just talking about the layout.

Anyone got advice for someone starting out? I've got a capture card coming in tomorrow and I'm streaming MH Rise, I plan on streaming all week every week for six hours.
Sounds like you have a decent concept. Just stay positive and keep talking all the time!!

Hey do any of yall know how people stream from their 3DS/Switch to computer? I want to do something like that but idk how they do it
For the DS it’s a little more complicated. I’d watch a YouTube vid if I were you

If you've got a gaming PC, look into using something like Citra. There's some conceptual stuff on New 3DS Homebrew like streaming your gameplay footage to PC, but it's really laggy and doesn't usually pick up anything past 15 FPS. Most 3DS capture card makers are out of business rn, but you may still be able to find one or someone on eBay
Hey guys, I'm looking for some games I can stream from either game pass, steam or like basic download games that dont take much cpu power so I can stream them on my channel. Please lmk if you have any ideas!
Depends on how you want to go about it. If you're looking to catch new viewers, try playing a game like Outriders that just came out, it's on GamePass. You could also try something like Ark over the course of a few streams and see if it'd stick. Just try out multiple games and see what'd stick with you and the viewers, you gotta test your waters until you get something real good going!
Awesome. Best of luck you guys
Thanks, you too
Haven’t gotten 3 a gray viewers yet, but almost to 60 followers
the average viewers is the hardest part honestly
Like a game with an active subreddit that averages a few hundred viewers. At least for discovery on Twitch.
Playing niche game categories helps a lot I think.
do you have suggestions on games?
do you have suggestions on games?
https://sullygnome.com/games/peakviewers might be a good place to start seeing viewers vs channel ratios. See if there's a game that peeks your interest, then see if there are reddit communities out there for it and how active it is. Also like @Mulc suggests, try playing the game and see if you'd even want to produce an awesome stream with it.
I wouldn’t play a niche game just to try to get viewers, if you’re not enjoying the game then content won’t be as good so people won’t stick around.
You are absolutely right. While it's true that you may grow faster by streaming into niche categories, you may not be able to hold the attention of the viewers that you get from doing things that you can't convey to them that you enjoy.
Some people just don't know where to start. Thanks for sharing your wisdom

yeah і wasnt super into the idea since im mostly а minecraft person but і do want to try and find games im into that arent minecraft yknow
I think people need to get platform goals (Affiliate/Partner) out of their planning as soon as possible, so that they don't see it as "the goal" for their channels. Each streamer has their own branding (around themselves), so we gotta find the goals that better suit what we do! Grinding for platform goals only helps the platform, you are just making your content elegible to become another income source for them.
I agree with you 100%. I removed Affiliate/Partner from my plan. The money incentive for being an Affiliate isn't worth what you give up.

I understand that perfectly. The game is not the content on your channel, you are. Your goal should be creating (and growing) your community around your channel's branding, which is centered around your content = you, doing the things that you enjoy, creating a positive influence on your viewers

yes :D
Not play any affiliate games until it makes sense to do so
Yeah! That's an awesome plan. Affiliate gives you some not-entirely-monetized tools that you can use, like channel points. You just gotta make them fit what you want for your channel, not the opposite

100% this. There are a lot of streamers who are a slave to the platform. We need to be creative and make the platforms work better for us. I'll take losing channel points to be able to chat across three platforms simultaneously.

Yeah. "Platform slavering" (for a lack of a better term) is what Twitch does to keep people from generating revenue on other platforms, and not only on theirs (where they can take their fat cut). Twitch basically wants to force you, force your viewers to move to their platform. May sound like a good business decision, but it actually turns out to be anti-consumer friendly for the viewers. Also considering that organic discoverability on Twitch is non-existant until you reach something like 25~100 viewers on your channel (which at this point, realistically, you would be amongst the 0,01% of streamers there), streaming to multiple platforms and forming a much higher viewership would be much more valuable.
I just want to have fun and talk to people. I dont even care if it makes any money.
That, with constant research on how to improve your content delivery, being open minded to new possibilities and persisting on your own goals and ideas (as in, not just quitting when you don't reach your goals as quick as you thought you would, and then actually going back to the research phase) is all that anyone needs to grow anywhere.

How would you even do the research phase? lmao

What's your specific situation right now? • Do you have a problem that you need to fix on your stream? (Example: webcam settings not saving after your reboot/turn off your PC) • Something you wanna improve on the technical side? (Example: mic audio picking up all sorts of noises, or your voice sounding "dull") • Got an Idea you wanna try out, but don't know how to do it? (Example: You wanna save space on your screen, while still wanting to show latest follower, latest subscriber, highest tip, follower goal, etc) • You want to display your content in a certain way to better show what you are doing? (Example: hosting a game tournament, and you need to show a scoreboard and other info)
I was just asking how research worked, because I thought you meant research on the creative side
The creative side is another thing altogether. Speaking from experience (as a graphic designer), you can't force creativity, you'll just get burned out fast (and get shitty results). You have to think not on how you can copy something that you saw on other streams, but how you would do it for yourself, making it fit what you need for your branding. How do you want your viewers to perceive this? Does it fit well with what you do with your channel right now, or would it look off? It's almost impossible to be 100% original, you'll always get inspiration from experience, from some already existing work. What you can do is "make it yours" - taking appearance, functionality and outcome/results to fit what you do and how you think.
I need research why streamlabs keeps resetting my audio so the game is always muted when I start stream. I also need to figure out how to get discord to be heard as well.
That's a good starting point; from experience, check if your Streamlabs folder isn't tagged as "read only" in the properties, and that you are running it with admin privileges, it could help.

I'll try that out and see how that works. Thank you.

Except for Spotify pausing my songs out of nowhere on Chrome.
Had this issue on my phone
I'm getting close to delivering some big projects, so I can finally get back to streaming
I know how that feels. I never get any exciting big gigs though. Just things like "I need my next store article edited".

You never got any big gigs *so far. Eventually, they'll come.
Luckily, all of my projects are streaming related, so I always keep getting new ideas both for my clients and for myself
Oooh. That is much more exciting
Is there something like antmedia.io enterprise ( 0.5 second video latency ) but open source?
Are you asking for an enterprise-class, open-source media server?
Besides allergies April’s ok
April’s are always the worse ones amigo xD
Does anybody use OBS live? Thoughts on it vs. normal OBS?
Isn't OBS Live just a plug-in from StreamElements that "hijacks" the default OBS Studio version? They do a relatively good job at what they do, but I find that plug-in more annoying than helpful. And it borks your OBS installation if you try to remove it.
@frostydog DM'd you

Rule of thumb: Never give out a moderator role to anyone who asks for it. If you need a moderator, get either a friend or a loyal viewer to help you out. People who ask for it will only go on a power-trip and ruin the experience for your actual viewers and members of your community.

I genuinely can't believe they thought advertising that was acceptable. They're literally advertising that they CAN'T be trusted

To the streamers that have their own discord communities, have you ever thought of using features like video calls and the more recent stage channels (pic below) to create community exclusive events outside of your streams?
I haven't implemented it because I don't feel like I know enough yet
The way discord handles everything theses days, shouldn't be more complicated than adding permissions to certain channels for the roles you need (streamer/guest can enter and speak, everyone else can just listen/watch)
Gonna add it on #old-suggestions

Gonna add it on #old-suggestions
A great idea. A good tool for the community admins.
It seems very easy to control who speaks and give the audience turns to participate.
I'm always keeping an eye out for stuff like this
Doing alright today my dude how are you
Pretty good just chilling tryna figure stuff out on Streamlabs
Nice
Okok but like by any chance u know how to change the category to just chatting when ur boutta go live
I don't use streamlabs but there should be a tab with your stream title, game and notification message. The game section is where you would set it to just chatting
Okok thank u so much
So this happened yesterday

Great work, keep growing dude. What was your last requirement that you met for affiliate? Was it the concurrent viewers?
Great work, keep growing dude. What was your last requirement that you met for affiliate? Was it the concurrent viewers?
Yup, the average views were by far the hardest. I’ve had the other requirements for a while now.
Anyone else have their PC Discord client crashing once they open this channel? I think it's from the GIF above Edit: Did some research, and apparently there are gifs that can crash Discord, so posting something like this here could only be intentional. I blocked the user so that I could open this channel without crashing.
Thanks, I've deleted the gif
@Chorazin these are some good stats (from the last 30 days, from your channel's page on SullyGnome)

I got lucky with a big Raid back on 03/20, so I capitalized and made sure to beg and plead for viewers when I realized I was close to affiliate LOL
I probably wouldn't advise spamming discords - That tends to lead to doors being closed
Streaming discords with specific Self-promo channels.
Yes, that's a thing I already did with my VOD dumps.
Roger
Thanks - I haven't streamed in a while, so I don't have any Vods to verify this myself 
From a screenshot on a video that I found from Gaming Careers, they can be over 2 minutes
Hello 
✨
✨
I was getting worried I wouldn't make it, so I streamed a popular game (Apex) yesterday and spammed some Discords and my Twitter that I was .14 averaged viewers away. I'm DEFINITELY not too proud to beg LOL
glad you got there tho amigo
