This is an adapter in order to attach a cold shoe mount to a 1/4-20 threaded hole. This is useful for attaching camera accessories to a tripod, selfie stick, or other camera mounts which typically use 1/4-20 threads. I designed this to attach a microphone to a small mobile phone tripod, but it could be used to mount lights or anything else desig...

So I got a nice new logitech brio, I tried streaming in obs with my macbook pro but got mostly dropped frames, errors about encoding overload.. Is it just because the i7 from 2013? It never actually gets over 30% CPU usage and I know the gpu is too old to be using nvenc

I think maybe obs more directly is probably better, though I would appreciate anyones input

@Cailleach161 Does your laptop have discrete graphics, or just the on-board Iris graphics? (edited)
2:07 PM
I believe there was a version that had an Nvidia GT 750M that will work. The Iris graphics should still be supported, but require some setup.

For example, setting your preset to Superfast or Ultrafast will help.

TenderSausage 7/23/2021 5:40 PM
Yeah, YT is my "storage" so that I don't have to store a local copy, but I do anyway. FB is just for people who still prefer to use FB and have yet to make the shift to a more niche platform. (edited)
5:43 PM
If kind of sucks that FB will allow the content to expire. I don't understand what the thinking is there. It would make more sense to me to have it be based on engagement or something. Like, "We've noticed that X video hasn't been viewed in Y days. We will be expiring this content in Z days. Please download the content for your archives: download link"

My guess is they're just being overly cautious about the storage element of streamed content.

@TenderSausage so it just fell over lmao
5:12 PM
it was sticking fine but all of a sudden it started to get loose (edited)
5:17 PM
I'm thinking reapply it but let it sit for 2 or 3 hours to really lock in?
Avatar
TenderSausage 7/25/2021 7:24 PM
@SomeTexanGuy Yeah. I used to manufacture tapes. The key is dwell time, meaning leaving it affixed but not under load. (edited)
7:26 PM
So what I would do is reapply the tape and only affix the cold shoe 3D printed part and wait a couple of hours before putting the light back on it. The longer, the better.
7:27 PM
If that doesn’t work, I might be able to modify the model and send you one that will work.
7:28 PM
Personally, I’d prefer to have it be a part channel that sits on the monitor’s bezel so it relies less on the tape to stick, and will stabilize itself from falling front/back.
7:30 PM
Just make the base slightly larger, approx. 6mm wider than the thickness of your monitor. Then, I’d add two extrusions to the base to create a channel, the height of the extrusions being equal to the height of your monitor’s top bezel so as to not block any portion of the screen, but provide max stability.
7:30 PM
Then, I’d put adhesive in the channel and then mount it up.
7:31 PM
I may design that anyway. Seems like something people might want.

hello my dudes. I'm in dire need of help. Me and a mate of mine have started a small youtube channel and we're trying to move from using just a smartphone for streaming, to actually getting some audio gear. Thats the most important thing. Would you kind sirs be able to recommend a setup that involves 3 main portable mics than could be synced to a smartphone? Even if it couldn't be synced, at least run the same bitrate so we could at least match up the audio to the video and get something out of it?
9:05 PM
Or, could you please provide us with a setup within the $400 mark that would give us some form of quality audio? We're using the smartphone for video recording, but the setting, being outside and involving different people around a range of 5-10 meters, does limit our audio capabilities.

Does anyone know if im able to get both YouTube and Twitch chat to show up in Streamlabs Chatbot?
Avatar
I’m looking for a widget of some sort which would be a progression bar that works towards the end. I need the ability to change it on the fly during the stream, as the progress it’s meant to track is not linked to Twitch, YouTube or Facebook, but through an external donation system which I have no access to, to allow this progression bar/tracker to pull information from. So ideally, it’d be a counter which I can click /edit and then it reflects the values of this counter into a bar/visual which is represented on screen. Does anyone know of someone who would be able to create this, perhaps it’s something that is already available? Could use the help for sure! (edited)

@porkpie I have some recommendations, but I want to make sure I understand the requirements. You are looking for an interface and up to 3 portable microphones to be used with a smartphone for under $400?
Avatar
Hello mate. Basically we're 3 4 people at any one time commenting, so we would need a solution to make it work so that the audio at least is of some good quality.
1:07 PM
doesn't really need to work with the smartphone, as we can match the audio channel to the video one in Premiere. But i would prefer one channel rather than individual ones as montage would take a bit more work than necessary
Avatar
TenderSausage 7/27/2021 1:08 PM
You can always sum your audio tracks in post, but I would recommend separate channels if possible.
1:08 PM
Have you looked at Zoom recorders?
1:08 PM
I have an H6 and it’s pretty amazing
1:09 PM
It has a top capsule mic, and four XLRs to add up to 6 mics. The capsule mic is removable and can be replaced with other modules. (edited)
1:11 PM
I should say that it can record up to 6 discrete channels, and with the right configuration that can be 6 microphones. It is typically the capsule mic (two mics in stereo) and 4 additional XLR mics.
1:12 PM
The preamps are amazing. Super high quality.
1:12 PM
You can port the audio out through a 3.5mm jack directly into your camera in most cases. Or, sync it in post.
1:13 PM
The H6 is around $300, which leaves some room for a couple mics and cables.
1:13 PM
Not a lot of room, but mics can be upgraded over time.
1:14 PM
Does that help, @porkpie ?

Yes, the capture range. Where the audio captured can be effectively used.
3:22 PM
i.e. it works for audio sources within a 5 meter range

voices farther away won't be captured at the desired volume
Avatar
TenderSausage 7/27/2021 4:32 PM
Ah. Great question. The closer, the better so that you don't have to turn the gain up. With the X/Y mic on top, it kind of picks up ambient sounds, so it might be best to use lapels.

You could use a Zoom H4n with a Movo WMX-20-DUO and that should be close to your budget.

JigglesExMachina(DonumExMachina) 7/31/2021 2:00 PM
Sure! My biggest want/need is a noise gate. When using SLOBs I can set a noise gate no problem for streaming, but that doesn't translate over to zoom, or obs.ninja or any other program that uses my mic. I understand Voicemeter is an option, but it's also garbage that loves to screw my computers audio settings every couple of days.
2:00 PM
So I'm hoping to find a mic where I can set things like a noise gate, etc. and those settings would be for the mic itself, not just through whatever particular software is using the mic.
2:00 PM
ESPECIALLY if I could take the Microphone with me to another computer and those settings are still there. That's the dream, but.

Hello, I was wondering if the elgato capture s+, the non pci one, picks up my microphone on a second streaming PC. My thought was to connect the HDMI of my gaming PC to an extra HDMI slot on my gfx card and mirror the two displays, then connect the USB to the steaming PC and ignore the output HDMI slot. Does that setup pick up my microphone too? I am sorta new to these capture devices
Avatar

It can. You'll need a way to send both the microphone and desktop audio through the HDMI. I use Voicemeeter to do this.

Ah well at least it's not obvious.. I am thinking maybe restream can handle identifying the portrait platforms and adapt the stream for it.. Though it just receiving obs landscape signal makes it more complicated.. Maybe within OBS if it can have a secondary scene also running in the portrait layout passed through to restream.. But the good thing there is I pay them so they should develop the capability to multi stream properly including instagram

However when I stream iracing I don’t want to have my discord heard on the stream BUT I still need to hear discord. I followed “nutty”’s guide from YouTube and it worked great but Voicemeter Banana messed up my resources and iracing became unplayable due to CPU and Ram being super high usage.

When I stream on OBS stream lab I have an issue where it works 100% the way it's meant to and I can pick up my guitar, mic, and DAW when streaming but my clean channel for guitar still comes through. ASIO is set up on my Audio interface which is a presonus audio box 96. Mixcraft9 is what I use. OS is windows 10. Output channel for all audio comes from Audio interface and OBS picks up that Audio. However all audio from the actual computer build in sound card is completely muted but that doesn't matter because I can hear everything I want to hear through the audiobox just fine. The issue is I can hear my clean channel coming through no matter what I do when streaming. They can hear the DAW monitored guitar and my ASIO mic works exactly how I want it BUT my clean guitar from my audio box still comes through while streaming. The only way to get rid of it is to completely mute the audio box. But that eliminates all audio from coming through during live streaming because the audio box is set as the primary output for all audio. So I'm stuck. The only way I can get everything to work is by enabling exclusive mode in Mixcraft9 that takes control of all audio devices, output is from the PC, and simple monitor my mic within the DAW and monitor my guitar from the DAW. That solves the problem but there is a slight delay and I absolutely hate it even though it's a 3 millisecond delay. Asio makes it to where there's absolutely no delay for me. Please help.

I have an elgato4k60 pci capture card. I have a series X and a monitor capable of 144hz. I know before I had the capture card the 120hz worked fine at 1440. But not I have to fiddle with it forever.
1:16 AM
But if I restart or put my computer to sleep I lose the 120 and hace to fight agai.
1:16 AM
Anyone know why this is happening?
1:17 AM
It will sometimes eventually give me 120 so I know it's.possible. It'll stay on for hours once I get it.
1:17 AM
But it's just getting it to work every time is so annoying and such a hassle

I use OBS instead of streamlabs And I'm asking if there is an app that can show you if you're pc is compatible for streaming or not but now i don't care about it. My PC just needs more ram and a better cpu or just a better cpu (edited)

Novabench plus a SpeedTest using the Ookla Windows app (not the website)

With those two, we can figure out what's going on in a general sense

Use 3DMark instead for your GPU, then
4:34 PM
You can find it on Steam. Just search for 3DMark and download the demo version.

You must have some project files or cache from your editor on your hard drive somewhere
4:42 PM
Scratch Disk, probably
Avatar
Daniel_plays32 8/17/2021 4:44 PM
my editor saves files of editing like gimp
Avatar
TenderSausage 8/17/2021 4:46 PM
Those are project files. They tell the software how to use assets to build an output.
4:47 PM
Somewhere, you also have assets, like the video and audio files you're using to build the output
4:47 PM
Those also take space

recordings?

TenderSausage 8/17/2021 4:48 PM
If VSDC has a cache location on your hard drive, it may have some of your assets stuck in there.
4:48 PM
Yeah, recordings are one type of asset
4:48 PM
logos, sound clips, songs, etc./

It's probably one of those AppData directories, like the Roaming folder

Everytime you edit, the editor is going to create cache files. Clearing those out will save you some space temporarily, but just remember that the editor will recreate them the next time you edit that project.
4:59 PM
Personally, I have all of my scratch files on my 5TB HDD, even though I take a performance hit.

It just ensures that I don't accidentally fill up my C:\

i somehow lost a few megabytes of space (edited)
5:05 PM
should i delete all of the empty folders in the FileCache thumbnails folder or do they not use up space?
Avatar
TenderSausage 8/17/2021 5:05 PM
If they're empty, they consume a negligible amount of space. Leave them empty. (edited)

Not sure. We only looked at one possible source of consumption
5:12 PM
Are you using a cloud backup, like iCloud or Dropbox?
5:12 PM
Or, like in my case, a shared work folder like OneDrive?

Daniel_plays32 8/17/2021 5:15 PM
no. none of these

in the cache directory the only files that use space are the files in the files folder. there are 6 files with one image in all of them

You may need to upgrade your internal storage, then. You might not have enough to accommodate what you're trying to do.
5:33 PM
Or uninstall some old games?
5:33 PM
something to free up some used space
