Imagine going to your friends house to play some games and you end up entering an RGB basement with Linus sitting there playing the same DOOM level over and over again.
I think thats called hell lol But others may say it's purgatory lol no way it's heaven though lol
LTT: "There's still a chip shortage."
Linus: "Because they're all in my basement."
"just like our sponsor"
@@bedro_0 This reply is so underrated
@Tajl3r r/woooosh bro
@@notlNSIGHT you are simply wrong here. there is a much higher demand in GPU's due to mining. RAM for example is being made on completely different process nodes than Gpu's and CPU's . same goes for chipsets and SSD's.
CPU's are more available because there is less demand in them. also you need much less silicon and get much higher yields producing a CPU because they are a lot smaller than a high end GPU .
for example a 6900xt is 520mm². a zen3 chiplet ( CCX) is only 80.7mm². both are TSMC 7nm . so you can eighter bulid one 6900xt ( if the die does not fail in production due to its sheer size) or 6 times a 5800x. if you are looking at retailprizes for these ( here in germany) you will have a 6900xt for 1500€ or 6 x 350€ for the 5800x wich adds up to 2100€ . if silicon is the limiting factor here, you simply get much more margin by producing cpu's here. with a GPU you also have to factor in VRAM wich is expensive and shortens your margin even further.
For the 5800x the second chip wich is connected to the CCX is based on 12 nm wich is much more available.
@@notlNSIGHT at the Moment you can make 7-8$ of Profit per 3080. Half a year and the Hardware is paid off ... quite easy
Also if gpu mining isnt a realy the problem then please explain why the ETH Network difficulty skyrocketed from 2.9p to 9.5p in the period from the 30-series launch until now 🤣
Linus: Gets sponsored by Elgato
Also Linus: I'm switching to linux
Elgato: No linux support
That's funny. Why didn't Linux check that?
He did say he was going to use their mobile app
He said he's switching to Linux?
@@mhamzahkhan several times on the wan show.
Both he and Luke are doing it
@@AltonV Ah! Cool I will check it out. I haven't been watching the WAN show for a while.
"It could be subject to change" = he'll upgrade everything in an year and make 4 videos from it.
We know you Linus, you can't fool us.
we're going to watch it either way
At least he's transparent about it hahaha.
@@zfamvs cause it's still entertaining
Well duh, it's only V1(TM) After all.
Update: He's still upgrading things around Christmas 2023
Linus: has a room with incompleted walls
also Linus: I'm going to build a gaming LAN station
@@gabbyptt1274 ok.
Priorities. :D
this video ordering is really weird..
You mean Linus home streaming setup v1 concept edition
To be fair, he got paid to do it. It wasn't just for funsies... I want that green screen, though. And I don't even have a use for it.
Fun fact: Wave Panels have clips that hold each other together, so when screwed into the wall you could 100% hold one up freestanding without needing to do what Jake did XD
I'm impressed you're not publicly salty. Good composure.
It's upsetting that they still haven't worked with you, and the end result shows.
YESS! THE STREAM PROFESSOR HAS SPOKEN and SEEN THIS VIDEO! Praise the streaming gods! :D
I definitely understand it but i still don't like it.
They've acknowledged Epos in the past and have also worked with even smaller creators.
It is just an ad, many will look past it, but most won't.
Linus' reach is extraordinary large, so this will lead to undeserved sales for low tier elgato products and impact the quality of the streaming community as a whole which is an already astonishingly low bar when it doesn't have to be.
and considering you probably want to be able to easily take it away if you move you probably only should screw in 2 at the top to hold the ones that come after that, or are they not strong enough for that?
@Noah Alexander except that LTT has known Epos for a long time
This man really has his priorities set. The room has no walls, probably has exposed wiring, no inspections, but definitely has a beast pc in there lmao.
Exposed wiring just means routing it for later is just going to be easier than when the walls are already on.
when youre "done" with the home it would be awesome if you did a wrap up on you're installations, recommendations, and what you would/ wouldn't change
I uploaded my Face Reveal.....
Gotta love these replies
@@spect80r ikr. there are 5-6 bots on all the comments
Tf is this comment thread
No walls, but a sick streaming station. The priority is clear :p
the missing walls must make the sound so much clearer, no flat surfaces and just the insulation
He’s waiting for a wall company to sponsor him
yes; getting the sponsorship out so he can have money to finish the actual house
Does Linus have his staff do up his house for “Content”?
Genius.
Also tax deductible
Sometimes I think about how crazy it is that Linus built up this brand around high-end consumer tech without coming off as egotistical or snobby. This is probably one of the best channels on youtube, and I think sheer exposure to that LTT giant mousepad has made me want to buy it. Great job Linus & LTT!
He didn't, he came off as egotistical and snobby
“All you have to do is spend a bunch of money” - moral of almost every LTT video
ALMOST every?
"“All you have to do is spend a bunch of SOMEBODY ELSE'S money” See that is the key to things.
The really genius bit comes when you then make videos to make money off of people giving you free stuff. Which then in turn drives your value as an "influencer" which in turn gets you even MORE free stuff.
also all this gear Linus will never use
I mean, that's what hobbies usually require. Is there a problem here?
gotta pay to play baybeee
Linus has to put banners in front of his house saying it’s sponsored at this point.
Sponsors co-signed the lease 😂
Lol before u can enter the house it plays a glasswire sponsor 😅
Imagine you told someone back in 2010 the amazing streaming gear we have today. Never before could millions of gamers stream straight out into the void to 0 viewers.
Y-you mean we can't all be Twitch Rich?!
I bet ElGato Will love it when Linus’s house catches on fire from their product being half stuck into a power strip
Oh so an actual deployment of the 6 gamers 1 cpu concept
I'm sure that'll go perfectly
Should be fine with separate GPUs for each gamer, or if they want to share, he can just get an A100 (joke, that would cost too much and perform too poorly).
@@edwardallenthree he would just get it for free lel
@@edwardallenthree anti cheat will be a problem I assume. I don't do matchmaking on my vfio setup but I've been warned
@@jarradtait5322 definitely, no Rainbow for Linus and co
@@jarradtait5322 theres ways around it buddy. I've used VFIO for like 6+ years and never had any warning or issues. Well, the only issue was not being able to install valorant when it first released but someone figured a workaround and its worked ever since. I've forgot what it was now though, think it was enabling hyper-v so the anticheat couldn't differentiate it being a vm or not, as when your enable it.. The full windows OS gets ran in like a virtualised state itself. Not sure if there was any other changes but a quick google should suffice.
I assume it could be an issue if anything gets changed but so far thats the only issue I've come across and it was nothing in reality. I also would like to mention- I game near enough daily for 4+ more hours. Just to give you an idea that its not been falsely detected as a cheat, all this time.
I mainly play FPS games. Like rust, valorant, csgo, siege, etc and the odd mmo like new world, ffxiv which all of them have anti-cheats but work flawlessly with no detections.
ElGato really has made making a streaming setup seamless at this point. Props to them
I just wish their stream deck had knobs so I could control source volumes in Streamlabs
The gear I'm looking to get from them for multiple studios is out of stock in my country.
I just wish you would stop being so negative
nerds
the cat
11:52 Nitpick: The Stream Deck actually only has one display with a grid of transparent buttons on top of it. Yes, that's an implementation detail, and the end result is largely the same, which is why this is a nitpick.
Linus is such a cool dad. He even prepares a streaming setup for his kids and their friends. Now that is a big flex.
Spam bot just copied someone's comment
Sigh
6:07
Mounting the microphone behind just makes more sense to me in terms of space, especially for people who use their desk more than just for a single use (which is just for computers). You don't have to go over, it come come across the beside monitor and under your mouth (as Linus did)
Also, what is the point in having a flex arm like that only to be placed so inconveniently?
I love that while actively monitoring his levels he doesn't noice he's peaking super hard
Yes, it basically never left the red range on the scale.
it was sorta fine before he launched csgo, but afterwards, the mic boosted up.
my guest is that the mic was adjusted in the windows volume controller, and since csgo (little fun fact) boosts the audio to 100% on launch, the audio was boosted back to default.
@@_Abehere That is the most ridiculous thing ever. Good to know!
@@DV7Dave ye lol. also some other pc games, like Uno by ubi for some reason. i just have script to run to see if my mic is at a certain volume, and if not, put it back automatically to the the level i want it.
Yep! Fuck games adjusting windows mic volume settings. Black ops 3 is my latest headache of doing it
Always good to see Jake - he’s funny but you can tell he knows his stuff
He used to be annoying but now I kinda think he's an OK guy
After months of trying to use cloth back drops and the lighting power to get those settings in, I'm jealous at how fast linus was able to get better results with 2 pieces of equipment. I might make the switch myself now.
At this point I doubt Linus will ever actually game in the way he intends while talking about things that are specific for him(like for ex- the moniter that suits him), he'll just go on changing setups and routers and nearly every other thing😂
I agree he did the same thing in his old house. He would also sometimes act like when he would be would update his TV that this might be the last time I need to upgrade. Your always going to be upgrading because there will always be new technology coming out and your make a video on it so your get content to help pay for in justify your new upgrade.
@@kanbak yeah and its every tech fans dream to constantly upgrade and perfect your system. Which means people enjoy watching it and he (probably) enjoys doing it
@@lordmage 😂😂
He's gonna play the first level of Doom Eternal again and again
His kids and their friends will be sudying on the computers like Yvonne wants not gaming like Linus thinks. Nice room anyway even if its never going to be used.
Jake looking and acting like he's got a shift at Fry's Electronics coming up and he knows he's going to be late for it.
RIP Fry's :'(
Not really the most dire of circumstances considering they went under 😂
I'm so stoked for more videos about setting up the new house.
Loving this guys, definitely deserves everything he’s got and coming to him
linus: builds an all-elgato setup
also linus: switches to linux
Eyy free stuff is free str
actually quite compatible, assuming you can run some terminal commands.
Don't worry, he'll need to find friends to use it. He'll probably have already retired from youtube by then.
Elgato: "Hey can we sponsor a streaming setup?"
LTT: "No. But you can sponsor 5 of them."
6:00 "Some people mount the microphone behind their monitor and come over, idk why you'd ever want to do that" - this is actually exactly what i'm looking for for my desk setup, because I have an L-Shaped desk with an LG Ultrawide monitor, a second monitor to the left, a fan to the right, then a wall. I'd like to put the mic arm behind fan on the right and come over. Perfect!
Its so cool that now you can have pretty much all your streaming gear from one brand. Great job Elgato 👍
Linus: After 10+ years I finally have enough money to build my dream house.
All Sponsors: New house? Let us sponsor your new home.
He gonna be getting special lighting and a security system next just watch
@@Jdudhhsuxbsksj Security is probably gonna be the same Ubiquiti stuff he had in the previous house.
@@notlNSIGHT true but he gonna find a sponsor to fix his pool problem
One day Linus is going to have to explain to the people buying his home is that half the reason his home is the way it is is because it was all sponsored.
The RGB toilet is still going to be hard to explain...
Pff Linus is dying in that house
@@MrLuisMiguel1 truee...
and if he ever wanted to sell, zero explanation were needed.
people would kill for that house.
@@golan7821 plus all the hardware would become obsolete in a few years
@@Bubbles-cd9qo I have no clue what are you talking about.. what hardware? the mic? the lighting?
people are still running GTX 970 and GTX 1060..
he plans to do at least 5 vm's on 1 pc.

I watch a lot of your content and generally enjoy what you do. I like how you all mix things up. This was just a fun video. I don’t know why I enjoyed it as much as I did!
And it made me jealous. 😆
11:18
You could just unplug the cable which is plugged in on the very right of the power strip, plug it into the socket you attempted to plug in the huge brick, then plug in the huge brick into the socket next to it and you're fine. You might not be able to turn the whole power strip on / off using the switch though. There are also power strips which have the plugs sideways so you can plug in more bricks which are as huge as the one on the elgato, however I do agree that generally I prefer if the plug isn't as huge.
Didn't Linus just mention that he doesn't even use his Elgato streamdeck last WAN show?
Thought that as well… i guess the video was shot before
I would assume you don't really need one if you do post-production on your videos and don't do many transitions or format changes.
The B roll had me laughing every time. Nice high tech zoom ins and around in a construction zone.
I never knew I needed this setup
I see Jake is rocking the FSM t-shirt, cool to see he's into dragracing aswell😊
He's worn them a few times - good to see Mike's shirts showing up around the place.
When are we going to see the electrician again? He's Linus' only real friend besides Luke.
He's not just 'the electrician' it's *'Brian The Electrician'*

@@litoyo1260 Yay, bots!
_"All you have to do is spend a load of money."_
Yeah, I thought so. (Watches moth fly from wallet.)
Definitely considering something like this in the future as it's a really slick setup.
upload more videos of the remodeling of your house linus please are great and I'm dying to see the house finished with all the technology as you said in the first video with the ideas you wanted to do, I am a fan of yours from Argentina and very good videos and tutorials are great greetings from Argentina.
Elgato: we'd like to sponsor a streaming setup
Linus: you mean, setupS
Elegato: yes
Elago: How many streaming setups would you like in your house?
Linus: Yes
Honestly Linus.... I look forward to watching your content for the next 20+ years. Been a fan for years and you are one of only a handful of people I consistently follow. Well... All of LTT's channels.
Cheers to the decades to come.
thats my exact monitor! i absolutely love it. fav monitor ive ever owned.
Ahh, another episode of things I'll never have.
At this point I don't even have really a PC any more. And if I still had one I would never stream anything. But still I love this stuff and I am always amazed and interested to see what possibilities are out there.
trust me you don't miss out on anything, the only thing that is good from elgato is the stream deck, the capture card is for example complete shit.
Gaming on a picnic table is the only way to game.
Do an in-wall junction box / media can at each end of your conduit, such as a versabox, there’s plenty out there you can paint over, and then you can accommodate motorized sit/stand desks with ease.
Jakes got that finnegan speed and marine shirt he knows what’s good for sureeeee
I am not even jealous, I feel so good for him
The green screen is just a rebranded, all green pop up sign which is pretty brilliant if I'm honest.
The brilliant part is that a regular pop up sign seems to cost about one fifth of what the green screen costs.
I love how Linus was the one which was told how to setup the microphone
Excited for the final result on your new home.
Linus: Im gonna play competetive
Jake: Oh really?
Also Linus: Playing casual
I’m seething with jealousy for the childhood Linus’ kids will have. My parents thought the pc was evil and always made me go outside.
Tf
It was probably better for you in the long run.
Honestly, that's a way better way to experience childhood
Such is the way of life. Rich pricks will always find new ways to throw their money in your face.
Nah. It is better that they did that. I am only like playing too much game now as I m just stuck at home. I would love to relive memories of playing outside with friends.
Outdoor childhood > computer any day in those times when we could actually get our friends to join us outside
Really slick setup LTT! Thanks!
Insulation/sound control: You might want to put in Rockwool Safe and Sound insulation that would insulate and control sound throughout and then add a cloth panel for ceilings and walls.
I love how CSGO still puts the mic volume to 100% in 2021 😂
No, it doesn't. They just didn't change it from the beginning in windows itself. Even in OBS the mic was already at 100%. Because it shouldn't reach the red zone so easily.
E.g. In my case, I put all the mics at 75% volume in windows 10 and CsGo doesn't put it back to 100%. Also, you can make your mic in OBS a bit quieter too.
Linus says "THIS...."
THE EXACT SAME WAY DOUG DEMURO DOES
Best channel I have yet to come across! Keep it up!
"You, too, can sound this pro. All you have to do is spend a bunch of money"
I always open UA-cam when he posts. It’s like a present is waiting for me on a rough day!
Best quote, "it's easy all you have to do is spend a bunch of money."
The Mic on that corsair virtuoso headset Linus was using is actually really good. I use them for demos at the end of every sprint at work and they are crystal clear. The boom arm seems like it would be in the way so I would probably stick with the mic for that headset if I wanted to stream.
1:28 can do conduit AND Sit/Stand desks, with a bit of planning. From the conduit into receptacles or J-Boxes can run a sleeved group of cables to each machine or flex conduit with cables and have slack w/ a real or cable “pulley” to compensate for when desks go up/down. The only downside (but more involved with install, and have to plan very accurately) is might, most likely you are, going to see “some” of the cables or conduit behind/underneath desks b/c of this BUT it still looks great and if done great, probably won’t even notice.
But, it’s possible Linus😁
Thx for house vids, as really enjoy!
Cheers👍🏻👍🏻
0:10 Linus realizing all his friends are on his payroll...
Yeah, making videos and managing a company is probably so time consuming... Even when not counting that he has a family
You guys really did smash the compressor settings on the mic.
for the sit stand desks just add a couple of feet of bundled slack to the cables

I have been using wavering for over a year now, I think the best things is you don't have to just use the stream audio in ops I have the stream audio that consists of system, sfx, browser, music, and voice chat. and then I use my mic in separately so I can put filters on it without having them effect all of the sounds
That sound quality of the microphone is so clear.
As a former radio guy, who is still very much into pro audio and home recording (with decades of experience,) I feel that your choice of the SM48 was a failure. I’m not going to say that the SM7B is the be all end all, because everyone wants to look cool-but the SM58 and SM57 are bulletproof and have the classic look and sound you’ve heard on thousands of recordings and on millions of stages. If you literally don’t know anything about microphones, buy an SM58-and you’ll still sound fine using whatever horrible mic technique you’re attempting to copy. If you aren’t into eating the mic, and plan to sit further back, and would like a slightly brighter sound, or plan to record an instrument at some, then get an SM57.
If you wanna look just like every other podcaster and streamer, and want to smell and taste the wind screen after it’s been in your face-get an SM7B, and get that shit as close as you can, because if you want that unnaturally deep, booming bass you’ve heard from other people using one, you gotta get close to get the proximity effect. If you want to sound like a radio professional, use a subtle noise gate and a little bit of compression on your mic input, and tweak the EQ until you sound as authoritative and professional as you’ve always imagined.
If you want to have the best sounding broadcast mic in existence, get yourself an Electro Voice RE20, which started as a broadcast mic and found even more popularity in recording studios-or you can get the RE27N/D, which is the slightly more expensive version that’s been updated with even more features that make it even better for broadcasting, which is another mic I have in my collection, because it sounds amazing.
The SM48 as heard on this very video sounds as bad as every mic I’ve ever heard under $50. The sound is muddy, it has lower volume output, which means to get the same volume as an SM58 you’ll be boosting the audible noise floor considerably higher (which is bad, and means more background noise). Again, while the SM58 is (and has been for decades) about $100-it sounds considerably cleaner, and brighter and has a midrange cuts through instead of being muddy. $100 for a professional quality microphone that will last you the rest of your life, and can be re-sold all day long for upwards of $50-even if it’s beat to shit, because they’re just so reliable, which makes it a much better value. The SM48 is for people who want a classic looking microphone, and don’t really care what they sound like, as long as they can amplify the sound of their voice with a PA system. If I was buying mics for a K-12 school that needed a bunch of mics for their assemblies, and are going to be handled by children and I didn’t want to worry about them stealing or trashing them-then I’d get the SM48, tweak the EQ knobs a ton, and hope for the best.
For the more advanced folks who have an interest in music and singing, you can find condenser microphones for about $100, and that will give you even more dynamic range (assuming you actually sit back from the mic) but you need an interface that has 48v phantom power, but unlike all the dynamic mics I see people accessorizing with wind screens and pop filters-condenser mics actually need them. If you’ve ever heard someone pop their p’s or make other plosives, you can do that from 3 feet away with even an cheap condenser mic. I would only recommend someone get a condenser mic for streaming if you don’t type on a loud mechanical keyboard, know how to setup a noise gate, do not have any background noises (ie your PC is whisper quiet) and you’ve got a room that has been acoustically treated to minimize reflections. If you do, condenser mics sound amazing, but it’s much better suited for recording.
Above all else, whatever mic you buy should be a cardioid pattern, and you want it to be tilted slightly so you’re not bottoming out the diaphragm. (The angle you want is slightly off axis, which ideally is the same angle you would use when you’re blowing across the opening of a bottle to make that deep whistling sound). Then you want to make sure the opposite end, (usually where the cable is connected) is pointed at whatever the fuck you DO NOT want to get picked up on the mic, because that cardioid pattern has the highest level of noise rejection 180 degrees from the sweet spot. The further you get from the center of the sweet spot, the more potentially undesirable sound you’ll hear being picked up on the mic, which is why you wouldn’t use a directional mic, like a cardioid to record an entire room-for that you want an omnidirectional mic, which doesn’t have the proximity effect like a cardioid mic, and sounds the same at any angle. The final tip for mics I will give, is where you put your acoustic treatment. If you can’t afford to go nuts and treat the entire room, then load up the wall behind your mic, which is the one behind your desk in most streaming setups. The idea is that you want to stop as much sound from bouncing off that hard surface, and scattering around the room. The next most important wall is the one directly behind you, which will reduce any reflections from getting picked up. If you’re doing things right, the mic’s sweet spot should be blocked by your body, but you wanna reduce those reflections just the same. If you still have money to treat the walls on the sides of your setup, you don’t have to cover the entire wall, but you can make an alternating pattern. If you’re shooting for what’s ideal, you want to avoid having two parallel surfaces that are untreated on at least one of them. So, you can treat both, which will give you that anechoic, vocal booth sound like you see/hear in most on-air radio studios. Personally I like some reflections, but I want to avoid the buildup of any unpleasant frequencies, which is called flutter echo. So, you only need to treat half of the surfaces. If you have carpet, you can leave the ceiling alone everywhere that isn’t directly above the hard flat surface of your desk. You want bass traps for the corners, and then you can buy panels that would fully cover two out of four walls in an alternating pattern. So, if you’ve got panels that are 24”, then staring from the corner (at the edge of your bass trap) want to put the first panel to cover the first 24” of that wall. You will leave the parallel wall untreated for the first 24” and then install your second panel starting on that opposite wall, at that 24” mark. Do that until the room is covered. Geometrically it doesn’t matter what shape panels you use, because it’s just about reducing those reflections. If you happen to be in a large room, like a basement, and don’t want to (or aren’t allowed to build walls) then you can get a free standing baffle to block off the areas around the desk, and that will make the room feel smaller and you won’t have to treat such a large area. Offices that are selling off old cubicles are fucking amazing. Their new open floor plan can result in an amazing deal on high quality acoustic treatment on a movable and temporary partition. If your PC is loud, and you can’t afford to upgrade the cooling, make sure there is some thing between it and your mic, and make sure that you treat the walls and hard surfaces directly around it (even the underside of the desk, where some VHB tape can be your friend). That should reduce the most aggressive noise it kicks out, and once the rest of the room is treated it shouldn’t sound awful.
Best of luck to folks who wanna capture their voice with a mic and record or stream it for the pleasure of others-there’s a lot that can go into a proper setup, and you can easily spend more than you would on a high end gaming rig. If you want cheap, then a bedroom or dorm room with an open closet door will help treat a large portion of the room, and I’ve even recorded drums in a bedroom by flipping my mattress up against another wall. The only thing you need for acoustic treatment is something soft that sound will be absorbed by, rather than bounce off of, and if you have couches, beds and other plush furniture as well as people in a room, it’s going to sound better than if you didn’t.
I was going to make a snarky comment about SM48 but I'll just give this a thumbs up instead.
bro..
TLDR: SM58 - Use it.
@@Wurmfist Yup, if only I was that concise.
That $3000 Corsair One just teetering on the edge with half of it leaning towards the floor thanks to being halfway on a mat. Than Linus freaking slaps it a few times and it wobbles 😧
that elgato green screen is the main selling point to me for elgato products, i wish I knew that existed!!
I'm here with my idea on getting a folding privacy screen kinda like the ones you can get in offices, rare to find a good enough one, then stick on some matte green material, or just dye a blackout curtain green and cut it and stable it on.
That seems waaay less scuffed and even more suitable to store away in my bedroom! That's amazing!
I only have a stream deck mini and it’s still one of the coolest parts of my setup
i swear to god this house has the best ROI if all the content in future in about his house.
"This video is sponsored by Elgato ... but we don't need this, this and this. Also we choose another microphone"
Honestly, it was a good decision to use a better mic and even that wasn't really good enough for that echo chamber they had.
shure sure has decent mics for the price
Mic is put behind the monitor so it doesn't block your face on the webcam.
So it hangs like a boom mic or to the side but on a higher pick up settings.
"My friends, that I'll make someday." Never before have words truly encompassed what it is like making friends as an adult. 😆
Whenever Linus talk about cable management i chuckle. Cuz he has no clue what audio engineers etc have to deal with. And watching him with the XLR was clear proof of that.
Linus home in one word - Overkill
I've never used one so I cant say for sure, but those plugs look like they might rotate to fit in the power strip better
instead of the sm48 i really like the berhinger xm8500 its still a dynamic mic, has a slightly warmer sound which is nicer out of the box, and the build quality is almost exactly the same as the 48. the best part is its literally 1/5th of the price. of course ideally it would have a flat pickup frequency but when spending 120 dollars on 6 mics rather than 600 i can live with it being slightly warmer.
Linus talking about audio levels whilst watching his microphone clipping into red nonstop..........
Ctrl+F'd just to find someone else who knows how he screwed that up lol
He’s gonna turn the house into the Hype House next video
I own the wave 3 and just wanted to add that you can add all the audio streams with the wave link software to obs.
That power strip segment is the most #relatable thing. Ever.
If only CORSAIR would sell the ONE as a barebone... You could build the perfect Mini-ITX system with a Ryzen 9 5950X and a Radeon RX 6900 XT and some speedy B-die 3733MHz C16 RAM.
I am a bit disapointed, that you haven't tested the capture-card to show the potential of a professional 2PC-Streaming setup. I love elgato tho^^ still wish i would have a streamdeck for my twitch streams
I don't think they'll go that route anyway, since they will only have 1 computer for the whole room. There is no need to have a whole other virtualized streaming pc, you can just beef up the actual VMs.
You can use acoustic materials as part of the walls itself - paints, panels, micro-absorbers
The StreamDeck buttons ARE NOT individual LCDs. It's just one touch LCD that the software then sections into blocks where the keys sit.
Just wait for his house to become sentient
When your house has 6 computers in the basement that are much better than the average PC-
the huge lighting def made a difference
It's amazing how balls that mic setup sounded. Like woah. But everything else was pretty cool! The pop up green screen and facecams are awesome.
