MSI H87-G43

You gotta change your ports back to “Standard Mode” in the bios

1:02 AM

There’s some dumb bug with the MSI BIOS that causes issues with USB 3.x devices in overclocked modes.

oh wow I would have never figured that out LOL

1:03 AM

I'm gonna give it a shot

1:08 AM

1:09 AM

Hmm it says they're all enabled but it doesn't say anything about standard mode

It’s in the OC screen, I think

1:23 AM

I don’t remember exactly

1:24 AM

Or maybe it was the OC Genie

1:24 AM

I just remember “Standard Mode” fixed it

I just read that legacy mode makes the 3.0 ports unbootable so I turned it off but it didn't work. I'll keep trying

1:30 AM

And it'll be a USB setting for standard mode or another

1:30 AM

?

I think it was an OC Genie setting

1:30 AM

Like, the main setting for OC Genie

This is what I get in the OC settings

1:46 AM

1:47 AM

The little OC Genie button on the top left only has an on and off setting it looks like

I think I need to do that too

It is off

Hey guys, I’ve been working with TenderSausage for a good chunk of the day on this, but I’m wondering if anyone else has any input. I have an AMD A12-9720P Radeon R7 as my processor, with 12 compute cores and 2.70GHz, and about 7.39 gb of usable ram. We’ve worked together to optimize the settings in OBS for this computer, but I’m still having issues when streaming Genshin Impact in particular. The game itself runs fine in menus and when not much is going on, but with things like combat the video gets incredibly choppy, even on the lowest possible settings. My question is, is my CPU just not up to snuff? I’ve had this computer for roughly five years now, so that may very well have something to do with it. Is there anything I can do to enhance its performance? (edited)

@TenderSausage ok I tried it on 2 PCs and a laptop and it's saying the same thing on all of them. Needs to be plugged into USB 3.0. Even though it already is.

@sonicxdoom All three devices say the same thing? Are these all Win10 machines? (edited)

Can anyone recommend a good gaming pc to stream from in the uk under £500

@lars Are you asking for a PC that you can play games and stream with, or will this be a dedicated streaming PC?

In an ideal world I would stream and game on the same pc with the intent to expand to a two pc setup in the future

@lars It looks like getting one in the UK is the hardest part...

5:47 PM

I've asked my mate who is from the UK (currently lives in The Hague) to give me a lead or two

5:48 PM

I looked at Currys and their cheap gaming PCs are a bit overpriced, IMO (edited)

Yeah that’s what I was thinking when I looked at curry’s

Normally I'd tell you to get something with a decent amount of ram and a good CPU and then just buy an upgraded GPU. Trouble is, GPUs are hard to get and overpriced.

6:08 PM

If you can somehow open up your budget to like £600-650, some options start to pop up

6:09 PM

@lars But the PCs I'm seeing at your price point aren't worth the money for your use case (edited)

Any recommendations in the higher budget

An extra 8GB of ram would be best, though

Real weird issue tonight, I was streaming at sub30 FPS playing AC Valhalla through SLOBS, when I usually get a pretty solid 60. CPU utilization was at 50% with SLOBS and Valhalla running, nothing weird taking up extra CPU or anything. Only thing that fixed it was turning on Performance mode. :/

3:43 AM

The only recent change I have made software wise was installing the GoXLR app and running all my audio to SLOBS from my GoXLR, which is using less processing power since a lot is done on the hardware. Wonder if the new nVidia driver release mucked something up? So odd. (edited)

What Kinda Mics do yall use, I am thinking of getting a better one here soon still

I kinda just jumped to the endgame mic and got a Rode Procaster

5:00 PM

It’s a monster!

Hi, I've recently started streaming, just Spyro Remastered for now, something the viewers commented on is that they can hear my keyboard through my mic (Blue Yeti). Anyone know a surefire way to fix this? Unsure how to put in a noisegate. I'm streaming through StreamlabsOBS

How to Reduce Microphone Background Noise using Streamlabs OBS OBS ...

5:47 PM

That should help!

@TheMadVari I'm using a Yeti X. I think my next one will be an XLR mic, like @Chorazin's Rode ProCaster

I have heard good things about Yeti, I have a razer Syren X so it's not bad but I like planning for future purchases

I don't think I'd recommend going from a Siren to a base model Yeti. The Yeti X is a (small) step up, though.

5:57 PM

Unlike the Yeti, the audio profiles for the Yeti X can be controlled inside Logitech G Hub, so you can dial in your audio quite easily.

5:58 PM

I upgraded from a Seiren X, and I never had an issue with the sound, but I wanted to use a GoXLR Mini and those Seiren devices are an upgrade dead end.

TenderSausage

Click to see attachment 🖼️

Thanks, I didnt know this, I'll try it now

6:13 PM

I have the Yeti X, I didnt stipulate that before sorry

@Ellmannn If the Logitech G Hub software doesn't get you there, you can throw a filter on the audio in SLOBS to get you the rest of the way there.

Is that the noise suppression filter?

Just follow the steps in the vid I linked you for the SLOBS stuff

1

Thanks

All sorted, thanks for all your help everyone

Yeah luckily my buddy had this syren so I didn’t have to pay for it that’s why the upgrading aspect isn’t to urgent for me

I honestly had zero issues with the sound coming from my Seiren Emote, which is based on the X.

7:47 PM

If I didn't found out the hard way that it wouldn't work with the GoXLR I might have been able to hold out for a long time. (edited)

@Chorazin I feel you. I bought the Yeti X as an upgrade to the Yeti because of the ability to "control" the live monitoring audio. It's not what I expected. Now I'm back to considering your exact setup

8:34 PM

I'll keep using the Yeti X until I have some extra cash to upgrade. No real rush, the Yeti X is still a great piece of tech.

XLR is definitely the next step, no reason to keep going USB once you realize it's time to upgrade.

Story for the day: My buddy has an amazing computer. Last Friday, in the middle of D&D, his computer goes out. He Facetimes me and shows me the inside of his case, and his GamerStorm Captian 240X water cooler was spraying coolant down onto the GPU. Needless to say, he immediately pulled out the GPU (RTX 2070) and he hauled off to my house and we bench tested it in my machine, and it works fine. He goes home, installs the GPU and a new CPU cooler, and he sets it back up. No immediate issues. Then it dies again. Shit. So I ask him "Did you pull the CPU to see if any coolant got in there?" He said no, so he pulls the CPU and there's a PUDDLE of coolant in there. I tell him to get some canned air and spray the board to drive the coolant out from under the CPU socket. So far so good! And then, he sends me this...

4:46 PM

4:46 PM

There's like 20 bent pins... I don't know if I can fix it, but I'm certainly going to try.

Oh Shit

5:29 PM

That is like my nightmare with water cooling

I passed it off as something that doesn't really happen all that often. Now I'm wising up. My friend and I bought the same cooler the same day, so now I'm looking at mine very skeptically.

I think water cooling is cool but I’d be to paranoid to set one up

I have a NZXT Kraken Z63 in mine, I just choose not to worry about it breaking down LOL

So im tryna put my email on my twitch but its telling me that my email is unavailable and idk why

See if you can reset your password.

I did

okay so someone please help me. i have upgraded to a r5 5600x and a 3070, i dont know what i should use to stream, like x264, nvenc, or (new) nvenc. I have wired interet with 900 up and down. im using streamlabs obs. when i try to stream cod mw the stream looks choppy. i also get some frame drops detected. ive tried each out encoder and various bit rates and none of them have seemed to work. Idk if my other settings are messed up or what but please someone help me. ive spent hours trying various options and to no avail im still dropping frames or it looks jittery when playing cod

@scott If you have a 3070, you should probably use NVENC (new). There are a ton of possible reasons for stuttering. Can you provide the following screenshots:

SLOBS Settings: Output (in Advanced Mode)
SLOBS Settings: Video
Input Source Properties: COD

I have suspicions that the newest nVidia drivers did something to mess with Streamlabs. :/

Chorazin

I have suspicions that the newest nVidia drivers did something to mess with Streamlabs. :/

It’s possible. What are you seeing?

I was just commenting on my own problems with AC Valhalla and SLOBS being 60fps solid and after the new drivers turning into a slideshow, and then scott's own issues with a 3070 (edited)

Hey everyone! So I'm trying to add a "latest tipper" label on my OBS Studio, but my tip/donation settings is setup with streamlabs(dot)com. All my labels and alerts are setup on StreamElements but when I try to add that label, it says no data. My guess is it's because they have a separate tipping settings. On the other hand when I try to add the same label through streamlabs(dot)com, it wants me to download their program. What should I do? Thank you in advance!

You can get the Streamlabs alert bot URL from your Streamlabs dashboard, just deselect everything but Donations. and then I'm pretty sure you can use that URL as a web source in OBS

Chorazin

I do have the alert but I wanted to have a label of the latest tipper and I can't seem to figure it out. ><

Oh, a label, gotcha!

Yooooooo how come I didn’t know it was super easy to export you scenes from SLOBS to OBS??? (edited)

5:32 AM

even the Prime ones

5:33 AM

Now I have the best of both worlds

I’m so happy

Chorazin

I was just commenting on my own problems with AC Valhalla and SLOBS being 60fps solid and after the new drivers turning into a slideshow, and then scott's own issues with a 3070 (edited)

Yeah sorry for delayed response but I feel like 3070 and 5600x should stream no problem on cod I just don’t know if it’s user error on my need

8:12 AM

If I don’t get tagged I never see messages lol I’m in too many servers

Is the OBS Studio better for Streaming then SLOBS, I think I have only really used SLOBS to go live and studio for my recordings?

SLOBS is a variant of OBS Studio. OBS can be a more lightweight compared to SLOBS, and OBS has more options for plugins. It’s really ups to you... SLOBS is easier, OBS is more full-featured by way of plugins. @TheMadVari (edited)

I see

3:17 PM

Thank you friend Sausage

OBS is also less resource intensive, if you have a older computer that will help a lot.

3:19 PM

I needed access to more plug-ins so that’s why I switched over. My workflow from now on will be to build the basic scenes in SLOBS, and then import into OBS for additional plug-in support and stream from there.

@Chorazin I still use SLOBS because I can build scenes on my gaming PC and they automatically sync on my stream PC via the cloud. Being able to tap into my game PC's GPU for rendering is crucial.

3:45 PM

But I hear you on the plugins. I definitely have to give up some things that I really wanted to have.

You could just then import those scenes to OBS from SLOBS on your streaming PC.

3:46 PM

But I get ya, probably more of a pain than it's worth since you have a dedicated second PC. I'm single PC over here.

My third PC shows up Thursday... I'm so excited.

3:47 PM

I got the green light from my wife to spend the money, so I didn't hesitate.

Many Pcs

I have three at my desk, but one is the work provided and the other is an older one I keep around to surf the web while I work LOL

My stream PC is technically a work PC also. The CEO gave me a budget and my boss insisted I spend the entire budget or it would be lost. I found an open box Razer Blade 15 at Best Buy within budget, so that's what I got.

3:52 PM

I built mine with most from the Stimulus

I could probably stream with my older PC, but I haven't run into any issues single PC streaming so far so I'm gonna stay lazy

TheMadVari

I built mine with most from the Stimulus

That's how I got my gaming PC. I put in the whole $1200 my partner kicked in the rest since she plays games every once in a while too.

This is actually my first PC ever I had laptops as kid

3:53 PM

I built mine myself

Well done! The PC I just bought it my first ever pre-built.

I have just been adding more to it as I go

3:54 PM

Working in IT and using PcPartPicker makes it easy

I mean, aside from the laptop

3:54 PM

Hey, I work in IT too!

Mine was a NZXT pre-built, but I've opened it and added a watercooler and more ram and new fans so at this point it's basically self-made (edited)

TenderSausage

Hey, I work in IT too!

Hell Yeah

I built lots of PC when I was younger but I just didn't need the hassle for this one

Chorazin

I built lots of PC when I was younger but I just didn't need the hassle for this one

I couldn't find the parts I wanted in stock.

Yeah that's pretty common right now. PC builders have a different access pipeline to hardware

Yep

3:59 PM

My game PC is aging, but it will make a very nice stream PC when the new one shows up.

I somehow managed to get my parts for much cheaper then they are now so I was pretty happy

4:05 PM

I just need another m.2 and maybe a lil extra ram

Hi all. I’m looking to stream gameplay from my PC through OBS in a laptop via a capture card. I was able to get the video working but not the audio... any guidance is very appreciated

@SwiftKillaKahn What is the audio device for the capture card input source in OBS? (edited)

6:48 AM

Here's an example

My capture card is legato

10:01 AM

Elgato

10:01 AM

I feel like I’m missing something big.

10:01 AM

I read something about vb cables

10:02 AM

Appreciate the help @TenderSausage

HDMI should be transferring the sound automatically, and when you choose the source in OBS the sound should just come through. Do you have the vol turned up on your gaming PC? (edited)

@SwiftKillaKahn I use Voicemeeter personally. I recommend it to nearly everyone doing a 2-pc setup.

I've been using OBS and Twitch for several years, and used to just tidy up my streams and then export to YouTube. Saw a slow increase over the years to 750 Twitch followers and maybe 30 Youtube subs. I've just started using restream.io and streaming live to Twitch and Youtube and Facebook, and my Youtube views and subscribers have gone up noticeably. I also use the Restream chat app, so all chats get cross-posted - nice! I can see live viewer numbers on Streamlabs chatbot, and I watch my own Youtube to see numbers there - that way I can talk up the community and encourage chats. Any other tools recommended for simultabeous streams?

If you're Affiliate on Twitch, you are violating the terms of that agreement and could be banned by Twitch at any time for doing simulcast to other platforms. Just in case you didn't know.

(edited)

I didn't know about that Simulcast issue - will check it out - thx

5:11 PM

Affiliate isn't making me much money anyway, maybe I'll opt out of it. I do like being on Youtube and getting some chatting going between platforms. I see that Streamlabs has a multi-stream option too, is that preferred? I think I would need to change from OBS to SLOBS though. (edited)

I think SLOBS just uses Restream

Twitch Affiliate Program: Requirements & Tips

Requirements and tips on how to apply to Twitch Affiliate, start making a living on what you love, and get closer to a professional streamer career.

That reminds me I need to remove my YouTube streaming from my Slobs as fear of ban hammer

I'm used to OBS Studio and don't need all the overlays etc for SLOBS, so no real need to move. Plus you need SLOBS Prime to multistream I think, and not sure how they handle multi-chat. Restream.io has a chat app that tags them all and shares back to all platforms.

i always felt like restream.io gave you shitty bandwidth

Guys is it okay to stream apex legends with a GTX1650 super on low settings?

id expect so, what cpu do you have?

I have a second webcam coming today and I'm excited to see what creative stuff I can do with that. Gonna use my green screen for more dynamic things!

oooh! sounds awesome! ive seen some people use a second cam for a close up of their face for when something happens and they want to show their reaction

I do need to work instant replays into my scenes at some point and do stuff like that!

2:27 PM

This one is going to be at an angle so you can see my desk and stuff during just chatting scenes, and I'm going to put chat on the green screen behind me.

2:28 PM

Then switch to the front facing camera during game play

yea that sounds great!

2:31 PM

my brb, starting soon and ending pannels are similar to that but its just a video of them becasue i dont have a secondary cam lol

Nothing wrong with that, mine are like that right now.

2:33 PM

If I can make it work, my dream is to be a starting soon scene with me sitting at my desk live getting ready for stream in Black and While, while my current Starting Soon screen is on the green screen in color. (edited)

that sounds cool!

2:34 PM

this what i was talking about

That's a rad scene!

ty

does anyone know how to fix stream dropping frames in streamlabs obs

potentially, what are you trying to stream? (edited)

rust at the moment but i also like to stream cod as well

okay, one thing i find that helps out ALOT! is performance mode.

is that when you disable your picture on streamlabs

right click on your display and click performance mode

4:00 PM

4:01 PM

yea it does disable it

it you found it to help alot with that

but it helps with frames ALOT!

4:01 PM

atleast it did for me

ok thank you i will try that out

no worries, if it doesnt have much effect, let me know

4:02 PM

we can go through your settings after

ok i will lyk

okie

@SOKKA There's a ton of reasons why you could be dropping frames. Performance Mode is a bit of a band-aid IMO. For me, I want to see the preview in 99% of cases in OBS/SLOBS, so Performance Mode is out. Certain applications consume more/less resources on either the CPU or GPU, and depending on what that is you may need to tweak your source or a variety of settings. Sounds like @NeS is willing to help out, as am I if you need it.

i can do my best. im no expert but i was only suggesting performance mode because i didnt have time to do a more detailed help.

Hey, I appreciate you wanting to lend a hand @NeS

Well whatever I can do to help :)

NeS

Well whatever I can do to help :)

You and @Chorazin have helped out recently, so thanks for that.

6:52 PM

It helps me a lot, I used to be the only one on this channel helping with tech stuff.

No problem! I'll help whenever I can :)

Happy to be of service!

TECH TIP: With a lot of people buying new computers (myself included) and other expensive components, it's probably about time for a couple of tips: 1. You use electricity to power your computer, and bad electricity could mean dead computer. Consider investing in a UPS/Battery Backup rated for your PC's power load. As well, check to make sure that all multi-tap devices have surge suppression. 2. If you haven't in a while, clean out the dust from your computer to reduce thermal insulation on your components. Heat is one of the biggest hindrances to performance and the most common cause for hardware failure.

Well holy shit what a difference a better webcam makes like whoa

10:29 PM

Logitech StreamCam on the left, Razer Kiyo on the right

10:30 PM

I wondered why my lighting was so off and thought I was doing something wrong. Ugggggh

wow! it looks so much better!

I didn't touch a single adjustment on the StreamCam yet either. Just running it raw and it's so much better I could cry

It looks great, @Chorazin

11:02 PM

I just reconfigured my desk with the new PC. Still a work in progress, but I got some Small Rig clamps and articulating arms... A literal game-changer

11:04 PM

It’s kind of hard to see, but it’s my a6400 clamped to the stand for the Key Light Air just over my monitor.

Oh you’re fancy fancy! Very nice!

I thought they were going to be cheap, but they are extremely robust

Always a pleasant surprise!

I feel silly because this will be V3 of my desk in 6 months

You had plenty of reasons to adjust it!

The Logitech Streamcam

haha i just saw your photo comparison on top!

11:12 PM

looks like the razor kiyo was washing out your face a bit?

11:12 PM

how'd you decide on the stream cam for your new one?!

Does the Kiyo let you change the exposure at all?

TenderSausage

Does the Kiyo let you change the exposure at all?

It did, but nothing made it any better. Which is why I just assumed it was poor lighting. (edited)

tengo

how'd you decide on the stream cam for your new one?!

Watched a bunch of YouTube reviews, and I like that you can take it off it’s stand and mount it on a tripod easily

oh nice, i didn't realize the stream cam was detachable! might be a silly question, but what do you use the tripod for?

11:16 PM

do you move around from your desk to your tripod during your stream?

It would be for speciality streams, like an upcoming one where I’m building a keyboard. Move it down for a closeup of the action!

Random question for any Logitech StreamCam users out there. Has anyone figured out how to stop the camera from auto-rotating? I'm using it pointing directly down, and it really likes to just suddenly go back and forth between portrait and landscape and it's annoying to me and viewers when I'm trying to paint.

As far as I know, there's no rotation lock yet.

11:39 PM

Any tricks to try to help prevent it?

There's bound to be a magic angle that doesn't make the gyro change alignment

11:45 PM

Unfortunately, from what I've seen online, most just used a different device

Well, that makes this expensive webcam useless for miniature painting then and it makes me sad

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

At least i'm not fretting about it anymore, thanks. After some research I may be looking for a document camera soon.

Well, then you can use the StreamCam for other angles and stuff, so at least you can still be creative with it!

If I get a document camera I'll just use the streamcam to show my face so people can watch the weird concentration faces I make, haha

Sounds like a good plan! LOL

It's what I use it for for all my other streams, so

So Logitech stream am real good choice to make

The AVerMedia PW315 Webcam is also getting some early buzz too, and it's like $60 cheaper.

I planned to use 2 Panasonic Lumix G7 with elgato cam links. Anyone with experience or alternatives?

TenderSausage

@Deleted User I have experience with the Camlink and other capture cards. What do you want to know?

aah great. will the camlink decrease the quality? Is it possible to work with more than 1 camlink over OBS? and is elgato's Camlink price quality good?

TenderSausage

I just read your request in the other channel for equipment advice, I might be able to help with that depending on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go.

That would be awesome I just started calculating the costs and I am now deciding on how to invest (seperated in Surrounding, sound, cameras, computer and lights)

Deleted User

aah great. will the camlink decrease the quality? Is it possible to work with more than 1 camlink over OBS? and is elgato's Camlink price quality good?

I use the Cam Link 4K with my Sony a6400. I run it at 1080p60. It has amazing quality.

Aah that's great thanks

For multiple Cam Links, you need multiple USB 3.0 Root Hubs

I hope it is possible to find a Computer which is able to run 3 Camlinks and stream

Does it have to be a cam link?

TenderSausage

Does it have to be a cam link?

No alternatives are an option too

TenderSausage

For multiple Cam Links, you need multiple USB 3.0 Root Hubs

You might want to look into using some actual video production equipment, like Blackmagic

Deleted User

Click to see attachment 🖼️

This would enable me to use 3 simultaneously right?

the Cam Link is great, but it's really kind of a pro-sumer product

2:09 PM

No, I don't think so

2:09 PM

That dock has a USB hub, but I doubt is has it's own root controller

2:12 PM

Question: Have you already bought the G7's?

TenderSausage

That dock has a USB hub, but I doubt is has it's own root controller

Are those relatively expensive commpared to the Hubs?

Deleted User

Are those relatively expensive commpared to the Hubs?

No, it's just a different piece of tech.

TenderSausage

Question: Have you already bought the G7's?

Nope, I just got the message today I could create the livestream because renting a studio (old church with equipment ) was over 24k and therefore too expensive

It might be best to come up with a list of technical requirements first and then source equipment. Have you done that yet?

Yes but it is in dutch haha

Hope this is usefull

It's a good list, but doesn't really speak to your requirements.

5:07 PM

I'm curious about the following:

What platform do you intend to use?
What quality do you intend to stream at?
Will your cameras be statically mounted, or will you have operators?
Do you need any pan/tilt/zoom from your cameras?
Is this a one-time event, or a series?

5:08 PM

Do you prefer to manage scenes at a console, or is using OBS sufficient?
How many sources do you anticipate per scene? Please provide an average, as well as a maximum.
Does your space have any unique constraints, such as poor ventilation or low ceilings?

(edited)

5:11 PM

@Chorazin I figured you'd want a peek at TenderStation V3

5:11 PM

@Deleted User Based on the list you gave me, I could make a ton of recommendations/changes, but I want to make sure I address your technical and program requirements.

On your camera selection, because you're doing a stage setting, you might want to consider using a Panasonic HC-X1500 for your main camera, and use HC-VX981 cameras for your other shots. Unless you have a specific desire to change out lenses, using camcorders might be an easier experience. (edited)

5:37 PM

Both of those cameras are 4K, so down-sampling to 1080p will give you a great quality stream. I'm assuming you're going to shoot in 25fps, which should also be fine with these cameras. They also both use Leica lenses, so the video profiles should be pretty close out of thew box, meaning less color correction considerations. (edited)

Hi guys, recently got into streaming. I have a Logitech G430 as my output headphones. Until 3 days ago my stream audio was perfectly fine even with the logitech g430 set to surround sound in g hub. 2 days ago the streaming sound went to tin can sound without changing anything. is there a way to have surround sound active as the desktop audio that i hear while the audience hears the clean audio https://www.twitch.tv/videos/928099404 tin can audio https://www.twitch.tv/videos/926725448 good audio from 3 days ago ive read that there are problems with virtual surround not being properly captured in the streaming audio, but is there a way to make this work (edited)

@Kruschel Did you recently update G Hub?

4:51 PM

It definitely sounds like either the surround setting.

I bet if you used Voicemeeter or another mixing app you could capture the chat audio before it gets processed by G Hub

Anyone have experience with IPEVO document cameras?

Do you have a general question, or something specific to IPEVO's doc cams?

Well, I'm wondering if the cost difference between the V4K and the VZ-R is worth it if it's being used to stream painting.

I found a really good deal on the VZ-R on eBay, so I just grabbed it, lol

Well, I can't recommend the Avermedia PW315, I could not get a good image from that and the official software just never found it so I could see if there was a firmware update. :/ Guess I'm trying to Kiyo Pro next, even if I thought the Kiyo looked pretty awful. Glad Amazon had a great return policy lol (edited)

@Chorazin My experience is the same. Terribly pixelated image and weird motion artifacting. (edited)

A shame, a $119 1080p60 cam could have been awesome for a lot of people

3:56 PM

I should have the Kiyo Pro tomorrow and can give some impressions then

Has anyone got solutions for splitting the audio in OBS into Mic/Capture card/Alerts/music ?

@Mono_Tonez I use Voicemeeter Potato for that (edited)

It’s amazing what you can do with Lighting when you finally put two and two together that having two lights at the same brightness is just blowing out the image.

I thought I could be cheeky and get some IoT Wifi lights, but I've determined that I just need to invest in a second Key Light Air.

That’s what I did, when I was originally looking at lights I saw that two Airs weren’t much more than one regular Key Light

So, fun fact for anyone thinking about getting one: The Razer Kiyo Pro requires a direct connection to your PC, and won't work with a hub. For someone with VERY limited USB spots on the PC this is a irritating problem. :/ (edited)

But, having solved that problem, I can confirm it does look pretty darn good!

@Chorazin I have the same issue with the CamLink 4K. It doesn't want to operate through a hub.

Thankfully it still works with a USB 3.0 extension cable or I would have been double boned. I just realized my GoXLR is a 2.0 device so I was able to rearrange a few things and make it work.

Can anyone help me with a dual streaming pc? I’m having audio issues with my gaming pc

I did my first test stream today and thanks to a friend watching along, I found the following issues: -My game audio is nearly unhearable unless I turn it up to a point where it blasts my own ears out. -My Mic is way too sensitive. It picks up literally every sound around me, even though in the settings for it I turned the sensitivity wayyy down. -I use my headset Mic (Roccat Khan Aimo) for now, cause I don't have the money for a more professional Mic yet. -Even when trying an audio splitter to manage the game audio seperately from what I hear, OBS just didn't pick anything up. If anyone can help me with any of these issues, I'd very much appreciate it (edited)

Are you going to be using a specific software, using one or more cameras, input devices, do you want alerts, on -screen chat, etc. I don't mean to inundate you, but I'd hate to point you toward a purchase that isn't the right fit fort your use case

@TenderSausage

Not sure if this is the best spot for this question but what is a good camera you would suggest for a newcomer. I have a decent webcam, but it only fits on top of the monitor and I don’t like the positioning, so I would like something that I can have on its own stand and position as needed.

@Deleted User That is actually very good information. I can put together a memory/cpu usage profile for you. This is more in-line with a productivity stream rig, not a gaming rig, so the requirements/budget are a bit different.

5:04 PM

@Vixyn Between @Chorazin and myself, we've tried a ton of cameras. It kind of depends on your budget, based on what you've said thus far.

TenderSausage

@Vixyn Between @Chorazin and myself, we've tried a ton of cameras. It kind of depends on your budget, based on what you've said thus far.

It’s not something I would be able to get right away as budget is pretty non existent. If it’s something I could get for $200 or less that would be great, but a little more is fine, I would just need to save up for it more

@Vixyn What's your current camera?

A Microsoft LifeCam. My husband bought it when he started streaming. Like I said it’s a decent little webcam, just with the set up right now i find it to be sitting a little high, but there’s no where else to put it. Just looking into other options for the future

@Vixyn Does it have the threaded hole on the bottom (1/4"-20), or is it the kind with the flexible rubber arm thing? (edited)

5:30 PM

If it has a 1/4"-20 mount, you can get a boom/articulating arm mount for your camera and try to set it in a better position. I use SmallRig clamps and arms, personally.

5:30 PM

If the camera isn't really all that bad, it might be cheaper to get a better mount.

So I have some friends coming over to play Towerfall and would like to stream our game play. I ahve an elgato capture card in my PC. So I have my switch connected to the in port of the card, and the out port is connected to the tv. but my tv isnt displaying the switch... I thought that is how it worked? what the hell am I doing wrong?

12:05 AM

its only showing up on my pc monitor

@SaltyMaynard That should be how it works, yeah (edited)

hmm weird

12:18 AM

lol okay i got it worrking

12:18 AM

literally just switched hdmi ports

Hey friends, got a bit of a noob streamer question if anyone is able to help.. I’d like to stream some music production stuff, I use Logic Pro on a Mac Mini. Mini alone runs a little too hot for production and streaming all at once, so I bought a dedicated streaming PC. In order to pipe my display output from Mac mini into my PC, is it as simple as buying a Thunderbolt to USB adapter and plugging into PC for video source? Or would further setup be required? Mac mini has only 1 HDMI out but also has Thunderbolt out which can be used for secondary display, so I’m assuming should work fine but any input or suggestions would be helpful!

@steve2351 You will need a capture device in order for your stream PC to accept video from your Mac mini

12:37 AM

Depending on which Mac Mini model you have, you will probably need a mini-DP to HDMI cable in order to connect to the capture card you select.

@TenderSausage Thanks for the reply. That makes sense. Its a 2019 Mini. Another suggestion I got on this setup was getting a capture card with multiple outputs. So using one output for a monitor and the other one to my PC. Currently I have the single in and out CamLink so I guess Id have to upgrade!

@steve2351 I don’t follow. Capture cards like the HD60 have an HDMI in, a pass-through HDMI out, and a USB port, but from what you’ve described, I don’t see how that would help you. The CamLink should be sufficient.

@TenderSausage Sorry I may be describing my situation poorly. I have a CamLink 4K. I could use the HDMI out from the Mini and feed it directly to the CamLink but I’d also like to monitor it as well. My question is how to best setup a separate monitor and also feed the display to PC given the specs of MacMini 2019. I’m not sure I know what you mean by a pass through HDMI out, seems to be only USB out on CamLink. Apologies in advance for my noobery!

In your situation, you would run a monitor the way you run it now, and run a separate output to the CamLink. You have a monitor and an input to your stream PC.

3:43 AM

Mirror the outputs in OSX so that they are the same signal. All you need it a mini-DP to HDMI cable to go from the Mac mini to the CamLink

3:44 AM

Unless the situation is that you have one monitor for two computers.

@TenderSausage Ok thanks I think I got you. One thing I was confused about was the mini DP, I didn't realize Thunderbolt output (which the MacMini has) will support the mini DP to HDMI cable.

Yep, I use a little mini-DP to HDMI adaptor that I got off Amazon for like $3

@TenderSausage Thanks a lot for your help I really appreciate it!

No worries, glad to help

For AMD, I wouldn't consider anything less than a Ryzen 2600X

@TenderSausage instead of 2600x how would 3200g work?

Deleted User

@TenderSausage instead of 2600x how would 3200g work?

Yes, a 3200G would work. It is technically less powerful than the 2600X, and I said I wouldn't recommend anything lower than that, but since you asked specifically, yes the 3200G should work, given you follow the other RAM and GPU advice.

how would a combination of 3200g with rx550 go?

3:34 PM

@TenderSausage

I wouldn't recommend that

3:36 PM

The RX550 is not much better than the APU on the 3200G

3:37 PM

The APU with 16GB RAM would perform nearly the same as the RX550 and a 3200G with 12GB of RAM

the issue is the budget i have to fit only pc in under $360 and here in India market is currently overpriced (edited)

I guess it depends on if the RX550 costs more than the extra 4GB of RAM

3:38 PM

If you can get 16GB RAM for cheap, it might be better to add mroe RAM and just use the APU until you can get more budget for a dedicated GPU

can i pm u right now? @TenderSausage

Sure

does anyone know a camera i can use to stream, im using it to stream an overhead view so im also gonna use a tripod, i don't want something too expense

The Logtich C920 is a classic, and it is definitely not too expensive (edited)

See above.

Chorazin

See above.

Thank You for that, I already checked that compatibility video. I dont have the mini HDMI cable to check the output before buying the dummy battery and such, as well as having the basic T6 not the T6i. I imagine there are enough similarities though idk for sure

Ahh, gotcha. Well, at least a mini HDMI cable is pretty cheap so it won't break the bank for some home testing. (edited)

@Loki68 So, yes, the T6i will work. I have a 60D, which is essentially an upgraded T6i. The issue with Canon cameras historically is clean HDMI output.

8:42 PM

You might want to look into using MagicLantern firmware on your camera, because it will give you much more control over the camera/output.

8:42 PM

I didn't check to see if the T6i has a supported build, but I would imagine it does.

8:43 PM

The dummy battery is a must, so be prepared for that.

@TenderSausage I dont have the T6i, just the standard T6

It shouldn't be different for the T6

@TenderSausage ok awesome tysm!!!

No worries, glad to help

Okay I was working on routing my cables in my computer better than I had originally. I plugged the computer in and it'll turn on and everything but my monitors isn't getting a signal

Check your video card power connection?

It's getting power cause the graphics card has a light that lights up when it is getting power.

It will get some power from the motherboard, but most modern GPUs have a secondary power connection. If yours requires additional power, it will need that connection. (edited)

Yeah. I'll check it again but it was connected last I saw.

Do you get a beep code?

6:02 AM

Or does your motherboard have diagnostic lights?

Nope. Everything seems to be fine. I'm wondering if when I was pulling the cords out they could have something happen. They are the ones I got out of the box

6:06 AM

Like it was working fine a minute ago and I took it down try and reroute some cables that attach to my sata connector

It's most likely a loose or missing connection somewhere

I just don't know where. Motherboard, cpu, and graphics card is getting power.

You weren't hot-swapping SATA cables, correct?

No. I had everything off, and disconnected

Could you take a picture?

6:09 AM

Gonna try and get a better picture

6:10 AM

My power button also won't turn my computer off I have to use the one on my power supply

Yikes...

6:11 AM

It might go without saying, but you should not be in the habit of turning your computer off with the PSU switch. (edited)

6:11 AM

A new switch shouldn't be more than $2-3

Yeah. I never do. I've never had a reason to use the button on the power supply. But that doesn't explain the no signal thing

Agreed. I just commented since you brought it up.

Lol fair enough. I'm gonna try undoing the cable management I did and see if for some ungodly reason that does something... I only tied one thing down

To me, your GPU doesn't look powered

6:14 AM

There aren't any visible lights in the picture

The light on the top right of it is they only light it has. I'll try and get a better picture of it

6:16 AM

I think your plan is reasonable. Undo the cable management and check all of the connections. Check the connections at your PSU if it's modular.

I'll take it apart and check in the morning. If that doesn't work I'll try new display cables. Might have bent then maybe

Does your motherboard use the supplemental 4-pin power connection for the CPU? (edited)

I'd have to look at it but it's a b550

6:21 AM

Also my first computer build so

6:22 AM

If your motherboard has them, they'll be in this area.

No 4 pin at all. I think it was either a 6 pin or 8. Same amount as my 2060 but used different cords. Only reason I remember that is cause I mixed the 2 up when I first put it together.

Okay, but it's plugged in there as well. Cool.

6:24 AM

I mean, there are only so many things it could be.

6:25 AM

Maybe check to see if you didn't accidentally stretch or pinch one of the wires?

6:25 AM

I've done that before using zip ties.

I'm gonna start simple in the morning. Try and change the cords to the monitors and see if that's the issue. If that not then I'll start dealing with the cords inside my computer, thankfully they sent me more than enough in the power supply box

Sounds like a good plan.

6:27 AM

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful this time

If that doesn't work I'm gonna have to assume the graphics card is at fault somehow. I did buy it used off Amazon so

It's possible. Do you have a friend locally who could bench test it for you?

None I know of. Fun part of being me, none of my friends are that technologically capable, I'm not that much either. Only starting to be

Hmmm...

I bought most of my parts at a microcenter near me I can take it there to get worked on it anything is wrong so

Oh, cool. MicroCenter can definitely help.

Yeah. Hopefully it doesn't come to that but we'll see

how do i make it so that the stream can only hear my voice and not my teamates?

@RedReepar Capture your microphone independent of your desktop audio (edited)

6:05 PM

Assuming you're using an OBS-like software, just set up an Audio Source that is your microphone

6:05 PM

I suppose the above also assumes you're playing on a PC. With console streaming, it might be more difficult. What are you streaming, exactly?

@RedReepar if you are still trying to capture your desktop audio without getting your teammates in (assuming they are in discord or something), you'll need to split your audio. Lots of people use Voicemeeter Banana

TenderSausage

I suppose the above also assumes you're playing on a PC. With console streaming, it might be more difficult. What are you streaming, exactly?

So stream with capture card on console

If you are using a console with a capture card, you'll need a way on the console to prevent chat audio from being sent over HDMI. Each console is a little different, and I (unfortunately) only own a Switch and can't comment on specifics for PS or XBOX.

7:59 PM

I recall there being ways to do that within the settings of the console or the specific chat app you're using (i.e. Discord), but again, I have no actual experience with it. Sorry I can't be more helpful, @RedReepar. Maybe someone else can chime in who has experience.

Hiya, I know it’s pretty specific, but has anyone used this on switch, and if so, does it work with the Nintendo switch (edited)

@Deleted User Those will work so long as it is a Switch that is docked (not a Switch Lite or using the port on the bottom of a Switch console). (edited)

awesome thanks!

@TenderSausage hey just figured you'd find this interesting. I took my computer to microcenter this morning. The guy tested everything he could think of, even switched out graphics cards and power supply. We decided the motherboard or the cpu must be at fault (edited)

Odd. Did you mess with the CPU at all?

TenderSausage

Odd. Did you mess with the CPU at all?

When I was swapping out the stock cooler for the asus cooler three cpu went along for the ride. But I would think it wouldn't have worked at all after that if something happened to the cpu and it was working fine

2:52 PM

How do the pins look? Are any bent? That would do it.

None seemed bent or missing when I checked them. My money is that the motherboard shorted somehow

I fixed this lad’s mobo after a similar experience. It would post, but as soon as you threw anything at the GPU, it would shut down. Pulled the CPU and found this. It’s much harder to do with CPUs that have pins instead of pads, like Intel.
