Interesting... this is how Andres Vidoza started too.... Imma follow since I want to see how fast a super production from the get go helps and, how he improves on this, top quality vid, pretty much everything that all the techtubers have and.... yeah awesome sound quality, I bet this dude is going to get 300k easy by the 8 month mark if he's constant.
@@ShaqHossain easy man! You got the knowledge, got the quality, I would love to see, personally, a different approach to the reviews cause every tech tuber pretty much has the same products and made reviews so, keep it up! Vídeo a week and you got this!
🙏🙏 yeah I wanna find my own special way of doing things but that’ll come as I figure things out. My current dilemma is that I’m so torn apart between filmmaking/photography videos and tech videos
Thanks Kartik! For now I do it manually but a KVM switch would make my life or anyone else’s much easier. The only reason I haven’t jumped on one is because my ideal setup is to have these systems separated so I can split work and play
Glad you liked it! Hopefully I can continue to make these setup videos! Ideally I’d be able to split the work station and gaming setup but I don’t have enough space to be able to do that now -_-
Just a question regarding how do you switch between your macbook and pc efficiently? are u using some dock station or do you just hook up the display port and hdmi, just switching the input source?
I plan to add a KVM switch or something along those lines sometime soon but for the moment it’s just manually swapping HDMI/DisplayPort and I swap out my peripherals (Mouse/keyboards) The Lacie 2big Dock lets me connect to one of the monitors with a thunderbolt > HDMI cable for my MacBook and the PC is connected with 2 DisplayPort cables
@@ShaqHossain very interested to see all that. I'm setting up my own hybrid workstation and trying to figure out peripherals to make everything seemless to switch between
Great setup ! Awesome video ! Warning: your watercooling is not placed well... You should invert the top of the radiator to have the end of the loop placed higher than the pump...
Thanks Mathias and appreciate the tip! I originally wanted to set the radiator how you said but the tubing was a pain in the ass to route below and it didn't work out (I realized later that I could probably disassemble the case a bit more to make it easier to send the tubing but now that all the parts). I did some digging and turns out it's not as serious as everyone makes it out to be to have it setup the way I have it. (I could be wrong but YOLO LOL)
the IDASEN containers are nice and well built, but not worth the money, especially if the money would be better invested in the IDASEN desk. Miles above the BEKANT, with Linak motors, one of the best in industry, and even in the top height I couldn't make it wobble.
Honestly my 2 main reasons for the IDASEN was the open top that I initially used for my DAC/AMP and headphone storage and the wheels. I think at the time the IDASEN didn’t exist/ have a motorized version for the desk (roughly 6-7 years ago) or it was out of budget for me at the time. I got the shorter version of the BEKANT for budget reasons and kinda regret it now because of how constrained I feel if i want to use the sides of the desk vs directly centred
How are you sharing peripherals across both devices? I'm using a USB switcher right now but it's kinda jank. I do my machine learning development on my work issued 14 inch macbook pro but I do everything else on my desktop PC.
Dealing with peripherals is always jank IMO and it’s one reason why I don’t share my peripherals across my devices but if I did i’d probably use a USB/KVM switcher like you said you have rn. Also since I use TouchID frequently when working on my MacBook so i just stow the mechanical keyboard and use the Magic Keyboard when needed. In terms of mice I have a MX Master 3 that I can swap between devices wirelessly that wasn’t shown in the video because I brought it into the studio while I was shooting some client work and forgot it there.
Thank you for this video, as I wish I could find more hybrid Mac/Windows Setups... as my 9-5 is Windows, but my personal use and personal work is Mac. So I am trying to find accessories and tech that is easy to use with both platforms so I can easily switch between work and personal.
Thanks for pointing it out! Completely forgot to link them in description. I’ll add them in ASAP I pretty much just went on amazon and looked up 3M cable clips and 3M cable raceway and read through a few reviews.
Thanks! Yeah you’re almost spot on with that estimate if camera gear isn’t included yet 😬 I’ve been adding things one by one over 5-6 years so it doesn’t feel like it was a ton of money all up front
All filmmaking lights 😅 I haven’t gotten around to getting lights for the setup itself yet It’s the Nanlite 30X (a little pricey for what they’re being used for in the video)
It's around $14k-15k Canadian without any of the gear I use to film videos. 😭 TBH I didn't even realize it was anywhere near that since it's been growing over 4-5 years. The computers were around $4,500 (MacBook Pro) and $2,250 (PC) so those two make a pretty big chunk of the price tag.
If you’re gaming with it stay away from bluetooth options, they add too much latency IMO. If you’re not gaming there’s a ton of options available with almost every brand. A few Mechanical keyboard options: Keychron has a lot just connect with USB Logitech g213 is 50$ G413 TKL is 70 CAD (this was my first keyboard i think or the 412) Corsair K65 mini on sale at 70 CAD
A lot of quality content coming out of Canada 🇨🇦 I'd never thought of having a desk shelf like that, offset to one side rather than right in the middle of the desk - I have the same shelf except mine's in black. Your layout works really well. Very high production quality and thoroughly enjoyed 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed the video Gary! As much as I’d love to have the shelf centred and everything symmetrical, it wasn’t something that worked with my needs as an all purpose desk 🥲 Hopefully in the future I can divide the work and gaming setups to make the perfect setups for each use case!
Salut I am also a photog from Montreal. Stumbled on your video because I am moving and I need to combine my MBP with my Windows laptop into two monitors with some sort of KVM switch. Did I miss it or you are not using any? Merci.
I do! I should actually be using my Topping E30 DAC and Monolith Liquid Spark amp instead of just the Scarlett to get the most out of the Sundara but I stored them away when I introduced the MV7 into my setup to save some desk space and cut the amount of cables.
man if you wanted too you can buy a elgato hd 60 x usb card too dual pc stream if that mac book can handel it i build two computers for that reason for dual pc setup one for editing and recording lets plays and one for gaming only
Thanks dude! The standing one is just a PavoTube 30X that I’m using as a practical but I think GoVee & Philips both make a pretty good strip LED like that
Nanlite Pavotube 30X definitely not what the light is supposed to be used for LOL I just turn it on for videos or a pop of lighting until I get something dedicated for the setup
Since I use touchID pretty frequently I’d just switch my keyboard out when I’d use my Macbook and pull out the MX Master 3 at the same time so I didn’t have to think about swapping peripherals much. Since this video I’ve separated my gaming and work setups so I never had to explore KVM switches
LOOOL 😭😭 I wish I could only use that much. The project file for this video was 255GB i believe? I had a few XAVC-S I clips that really chew through storage
Macbook display is really solid, M1 chip runs pretty smooth and personal preference (example: I prefer finder vs windows explorer when working on videos, spacebar preview is really nice. I know on windows you can get seer but it doesn’t work as well) another big reason is to separate my gaming system from work system (i also plan to split them into their own desks)
Hello bro!!, Amazing video really, but I will change some things in your setup or make some sugestions. First, the Windows pc y much hardwere for only Valorant, I supose what you also play other games and edit other things in this pc, but is my opinion. Second, the Scarlet Solo is good for the MV7, but for the Sundara is better choice go to Hifi equipement, around 200$ or 350$ in a Dac/Amp is more than enougth for this headphones. Third, I recomend for you edit with the Sundaras, why the Airpods are conected to your Macbook since BT in AAC (320kbps/s) and the audio are very compress, in the other way with the Sundaras you have since 1500kbp/s or higher. Only are observations bro, after this is a amazing setup, congratulations.
Thanks for watching and your comment! For the PC I need it to run at 280hz since I play at 280hz and I tend to sit around 300-400 frames during gameplay. I built this one based off my old PC which had a 5800X and a 2060 I agree with what you’re saying about powering the Sundara (I actually excluded that part from this video as I felt it was getting a little too detailed and long to talk about) I have a Monolith Liquid Spark and a Topping E30 that I stashed away when I needed to make space on my desk and reduce the amount of cables going to my PC And once again I agree with you about the Sundara being better for editing and I’ll usually use them when I start to focus on my sound during the process. Every single one of your points were really great and helpful! (Thanks for specifying the audio bitrates it’s great to know the exact digits)
all of those "fancy" PC setups are the same: height adj. desk, swiveling monitor arms, wooden desk surface, mechanical keyboards with colored keys, logitech mx master 3, huge pad under keyboard, led strips all around, some glowing crap hanging on the wall, little monitor speakers + external sound card.
Haha yeah, you kind of get to a point where there’s nothing really “new” on the market so things start looking similar at the core of it all. The newest thing I’ve seen is people adding small 15-18 inch touch screens into their setups which is pretty cool in terms of browsing files IMO or just scrolling through pages. Most of the things you listed end up becoming the “norm” because of the versatility it adds. For example one situation in my case: when I use the table to shoot photo or video I can re-adjust the height of the table rather than fiddle with the tripod column or legs.
At first look I thought you have 700k subscribers and the way you made this video is relevant to what I saw. I hope you'll get to 700k subs quickly. So damn good video. I just subscribed.
Do you use a HUB or KVM for switching between the gaming PC and Mac ? I am struggling with finding a nice one. Maybe someone have a idea ? Btw. Nice Setup
Thanks and not yet! I’m still looking around for the best one. I’ll either update the description or maybe have a new video that’ll include it whenever I find one!
Jw did you find the 14" MBP too small to work on? I have a 16" right now but occasionally wonder if I should have went with the 14" for the smaller form factor. I used to have a 13" but hated it because the screen was so small lol
The grass is always greener I see LOL It works and I kinda wish I got the 16 inch just because I use the laptop display pretty often when I edit my videos. The Macbook display really puts the other monitors I have to shame 🥲 If you work off monitors more than the actual display the 14 inch is great
Can you tell me the name of the wallpaper you are using in your main monitor? It looks really aesthetic and is on the darker side so helps with lowlight setups.
very nice setup, so clean. the only thing i would like to point out is the orientatione of the aio. if you front mount the radiator like that the pocket of air in the cooler will go in the intake-exaust zone of the 240 mm. i would reccomend top mounting but since you have an itx case you should definitely flip the radiator upside down or air bubbles could go in the pump affecting noise emissions and performances. If you want a more accurate analysis of the topic you should check this two videos (those two guys saved my ek aio rgb 240 mm and my system) ua-cam.com/video/BbGomv195sk/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/DKwA7ygTJn0/v-deo.html p.s. thank you for the inspiration
Glad you enjoyed! And for sure I had a few comments regarding this already but like they said in the video it’s still “okay” as long as the top of the rad is higher than the pump itself but the ideal position would be with the tubing going to the lower portion of the case. I might need be doing a case swap in a few weeks so I’ll do it all at the same time!
@@ShaqHossain For the kraken the pump is located on the radiator where the tubes connect in, so flipping the radiator would essentially take it from worst case straight to best case scenario. They were right to say its fine if the radiator is higher than the cpu block, but currently your pump is the highest component. Fortunately it looks like there is enough room to flip and fit it in your current case but if you are going to swap anyway then definitely re-arrange it along with that.
@@ztingo Oh damn thanks for letting me know my dude! I didn’t realize that the pump was in the radiator block at all. Appreciate that you let me know. I’ll definitely be flipping that regardless of a case swap now. I didn’t spend much time looking into the cooler aside from the GIF options (LOL) and thought the pump was in the cpu block. It was a super impromptu decision to build the PC
Just wanted to update this thread since I just flipped the radiator, instantly noticed cooler idle temps at around a ~ 10 degree drop. I did find that my idle temp was pretty high before but brushed it off as me being picky.
Thanks dude stoked that you like the vid! Uhh I’ve been learning how to maximize my camera/ lighting/sound for around 5-6 years now? Lots of stagnant time in between where I didn’t actually put any practice in cause of life. But I’ve been shooting for other companies and freelancing for almost 2 years now and figured it’s time for me to finally make things for myself now that I finally feel somewhat satisfied with what I can produce! Still got tons of things to learn haha.
Really like the cinematography you had , would you mind sharing with me how and where did you learn to get these shots? been trying to produce videos like these too!
UA-cam and tons of practice! I've spent the past few years watching tons of videos and picking up bits of knowledge from people like Rob Ellis, Danny Gevirtz, Brady Bessette, Matti Haapoja, Peter McKinnon, Edward Lee, Eric Floberg, Brandon Li and many more. I've been working with brands to create media for their socials for the past 2 years full time so that helped as well.
I tend to edit on the laptop without any monitors pretty often because of how good the display is. So the extra screen real estate would be super nice. I do enjoy the portability of the 14 inch though. Kinda hard to decide which I’d value more between those two
@@ShaqHossain i have 16. i feel its kinda big, esp if you commute and want to use it in public areas, such as cafe, trains and libraries. i wish i would have gone for 14 but with 32GB at least.
Since I don't swap between them too frequently I manually swap the inputs on the monitors but I'm planning on adding a KVM switch to make this process a bit more seamless. Mac=Work PC = Gaming and since I try to avoid having those times overlap throughout my day so I don't absolutely need to be able to swap between them on a whim
First step is to figure out what kind of work you enjoy/can do. After that find some potential clients in your area that might need the service and then reach out to them with a few examples of your work Most of my work came from referrals from people that I knew and met as time went on. Your network is key!
Yo my man , look for the steelcase leap at BTOD, they are a refurbisher and reviewer of chairs, usually its 1200dlls for that chair but you can get it for 600 from them.

I’ll def take a look! Took a quick look and saw it was a cloth chair if I’m not mistaken Definitely leaning towards mesh for the next chair but not hard set on anything

Can you make a video on your MIC setup with settings. I have the same mic but the audio always comes out low even with high gain. High gain makes the noise more staticky
What interface do you use and how far do you position the mic from you when speaking? Ideally you should get the mic as close as possible. The audio in this video was recorded on a Zoom H6 with the Shure MV7 and there’s also post processing on the audio. I boosted the gain in post, added a compressor and a few other filters. 2 possibilities to what could cause this that comes to mind right now: 1) There’s an issue with your XLR cable. I just noticed the 12 ft XLR I use at my desk has some static so I need to replace it. (Tested it against a 6ft XLR I had laying around) Also apparently it’s possible that your cable isn’t balanced and there are resistors in line so just make sure to check that as well. I haven’t experienced this myself so I’m not too familiar with this phenomenon 2) If it’s less of a high pitch static sound and more of a hissing it might be the interface picking up the noise floor as you crank the gain. (for example I notice the noise floor on my Zoom H6 and Rode NTG4+ when using a 25ft cable when i turn the dial past 5-6 ) solution for this is a different interface or adding something like a cloud lifter in-line before you get to your interface. Hopefully it’s resolved with just swapping your cables. I’ll definitely make a video covering audio options in the future, adding it to the list now!
Not too familiar with how the GOXLR mini handles the audio but 1000% set up some filters on OBS. They make a HUGE difference and clean up your audio. Bump the gain, throw on a compressor, noise gate and a limiter.
I put more priority to the 280hz for gaming cause I’m very particular about the position and heights of things when gaming vs when working I’m more lenient with those things and just work with what I have Aiming feels weird if things aren’t in the ideal positions
To expand on this on the work side is that I rely on the display of the Macbook a lot more than I thought I would. The colours are just way too clean on the Apple display so it seems like I’m gonna have to shell out for a studio display eventually 🥲 unless I find an alternative
The production quality of your videos is nuts; I hope you continue to post

For the PC I need it to run at 280hz since I play at 280hz and I tend to sit around 300-400 frames during gameplay. I built this one based off my old PC which had a 5800X and a 2060
I agree with what you’re saying about powering the Sundara (I actually excluded that part from this video as I felt it was getting a little too detailed and long to talk about) I have a Monolith Liquid Spark and a Topping E30 that I stashed away when I needed to make space on my desk and reduce the amount of cables going to my PC
And once again I agree with you about the Sundara being better for editing and I’ll usually use them when I start to focus on my sound during the process.
Every single one of your points were really great and helpful! (Thanks for specifying the audio bitrates it’s great to know the exact digits)
Are the dividers from ikea?
I believe they were from Amazon and it was around 20-30 CAD
MTL represent, instant sub. Would've subbed anyway though, high quality production Shaq keep grindin
🙏🙏 appreciate it my man!
all of those "fancy" PC setups are the same: height adj. desk, swiveling monitor arms, wooden desk surface, mechanical keyboards with colored keys, logitech mx master 3, huge pad under keyboard, led strips all around, some glowing crap hanging on the wall, little monitor speakers + external sound card.
Haha yeah, you kind of get to a point where there’s nothing really “new” on the market so things start looking similar at the core of it all.
The newest thing I’ve seen is people adding small 15-18 inch touch screens into their setups which is pretty cool in terms of browsing files IMO or just scrolling through pages.
Most of the things you listed end up becoming the “norm” because of the versatility it adds. For example one situation in my case: when I use the table to shoot photo or video I can re-adjust the height of the table rather than fiddle with the tripod column or legs.
Give us a expense breakdown so can know at what point i can afford all this.
At first look I thought you have 700k subscribers and the way you made this video is relevant to what I saw. I hope you'll get to 700k subs quickly. So damn good video. I just subscribed.
Thanks man! Means a lot and that’d be crazy to be at 700k haha
Do you use a HUB or KVM for switching between the gaming PC and Mac ? I am struggling with finding a nice one. Maybe someone have a idea ? Btw. Nice Setup
Thanks and not yet! I’m still looking around for the best one. I’ll either update the description or maybe have a new video that’ll include it whenever I find one!
Jw did you find the 14" MBP too small to work on? I have a 16" right now but occasionally wonder if I should have went with the 14" for the smaller form factor. I used to have a 13" but hated it because the screen was so small lol
The grass is always greener I see LOL
It works and I kinda wish I got the 16 inch just because I use the laptop display pretty often when I edit my videos. The Macbook display really puts the other monitors I have to shame 🥲
If you work off monitors more than the actual display the 14 inch is great
SUBSCRIBEDDD
Awesome vids, new Shahzam otw!
Hahahah dude whenever I run it down on val people say I sound like him all the time.
Beautiful setup and beautifully shot man!
Thanks dude! I was just watching your setup video again and man that screenbar is so tempting 😮💨
How do you connect the same keyboard and mouse to both computers?
Can you tell me the name of the wallpaper you are using in your main monitor? It looks really aesthetic and is on the darker side so helps with lowlight setups.
It's from Wallpaper Engine and it should be the first one when searching "Gravity Falls"
@@ShaqHossain thanks a lot😁
how do you connect the pc and mac at the same time to your sound card ?
What USBC dock do you use?
For now my Lacie 2bigDock gets the job done since the newer macbooks have a ton of ports directly on them. Planning to find a dedicated dock though
Where did you get those tube lights
They're Nanlite Pavotube 30x!
Love the production quality and your desk set up man. Keep it up!
That's the plan!
You should try the Presonus PD-70, it's rumored to be the same can as the Shure SM7B
Ooh that’s interesting, especially at 120 CAD 👀 I’ll be looking into it
@ShaqHossain heck yeah!
You rock man !!! the best method ever !! thanks for sharing !!
Thanks for watching!
Great job man! New sub here. Keep the great content coming 👍🏼
Thanks Nenad! Appreciate it!
How do you switch between the mac and PC?
very nice setup, so clean.
the only thing i would like to point out is the orientatione of the aio.
if you front mount the radiator like that the pocket of air in the cooler will go in the intake-exaust zone of the 240 mm.
i would reccomend top mounting but since you have an itx case you should definitely flip the radiator upside down or air bubbles could go in the pump affecting noise emissions and performances.
If you want a more accurate analysis of the topic you should check this two videos (those two guys saved my ek aio rgb 240 mm and my system)

ua-cam.com/video/DKwA7ygTJn0/v-deo.html
p.s. thank you for the inspiration
Glad you enjoyed! And for sure I had a few comments regarding this already but like they said in the video it’s still “okay” as long as the top of the rad is higher than the pump itself but the ideal position would be with the tubing going to the lower portion of the case.
I might need be doing a case swap in a few weeks so I’ll do it all at the same time!
@@ShaqHossain For the kraken the pump is located on the radiator where the tubes connect in, so flipping the radiator would essentially take it from worst case straight to best case scenario. They were right to say its fine if the radiator is higher than the cpu block, but currently your pump is the highest component. Fortunately it looks like there is enough room to flip and fit it in your current case but if you are going to swap anyway then definitely re-arrange it along with that.
@@ztingo Oh damn thanks for letting me know my dude! I didn’t realize that the pump was in the radiator block at all. Appreciate that you let me know. I’ll definitely be flipping that regardless of a case swap now.
I didn’t spend much time looking into the cooler aside from the GIF options (LOL) and thought the pump was in the cpu block. It was a super impromptu decision to build the PC
Just wanted to update this thread since I just flipped the radiator, instantly noticed cooler idle temps at around a ~ 10 degree drop. I did find that my idle temp was pretty high before but brushed it off as me being picky.
@@ShaqHossain Very glad to hear that, all the best with the current and future builds 👍
what size softbox is that?
35 inches i think? Aputure Light Dome II
Great Setup. Huge W for the Wallpaper alone
🙏🙏 thank you!
Bro, you’re going straight to the top if you keep it up.
Thanks a ton Caleb! Fingers crossed the UA-cam gods bless the channel hahaha
so professional vid, still underrated!
a big W
Thanks man!
wow nice desk setup 2023 my drm
Only issue with the 1080p monitor is it being 27 inch. From everything I have read 1440p or 4k work better for 27in.
Not the best in terms of PPI but it works fine for high refresh rate gaming
@@ShaqHossain well with the GPU I can understanding.
man I wish their kitchen counters came in 30 inch depths... nice setup dawg.
Dude same, I literally need it to be 30-32 inches and it’s perfect. Glad you liked the video!
gotta say these videos are better than some with millions of viewz, i dont typically coment but this guy is insain
Thanks for your comment Ray, it means a lot! Glad you enjoyed the video
bro this is so clean
how long have you been doing this you should have more subs with this quality of edit and record. keep up
Thanks dude stoked that you like the vid! Uhh I’ve been learning how to maximize my camera/ lighting/sound for around 5-6 years now? Lots of stagnant time in between where I didn’t actually put any practice in cause of life.
But I’ve been shooting for other companies and freelancing for almost 2 years now and figured it’s time for me to finally make things for myself now that I finally feel somewhat satisfied with what I can produce! Still got tons of things to learn haha.
Really like the cinematography you had , would you mind sharing with me how and where did you learn to get these shots? been trying to produce videos like these too!
UA-cam and tons of practice!
I've spent the past few years watching tons of videos and picking up bits of knowledge from people like Rob Ellis, Danny Gevirtz, Brady Bessette, Matti Haapoja, Peter McKinnon, Edward Lee, Eric Floberg, Brandon Li and many more.
I've been working with brands to create media for their socials for the past 2 years full time so that helped as well.
@@ShaqHossain thank you for sharing with me ! Appreciate it ! :) hope to see more of your vids soon !
love the setup and the vibes, new sub!
Thanks Adrian!
production quality is top tier in this vid! great job
Thanks!
epic video, not sure why you dont have more subs!!
Thanks dude! Haha it’s probably be because I barely made videos for the channel the past few years 😅 but who knows 🤷♂️
10/10 video!
Thanks Shaun!
the years of wait have been WORTH
why 16 and not 14. What i regret that i stuck with 16gb ram. should have at least upgraded it to 32gb if not more.
I tend to edit on the laptop without any monitors pretty often because of how good the display is. So the extra screen real estate would be super nice. I do enjoy the portability of the 14 inch though. Kinda hard to decide which I’d value more between those two
@@ShaqHossain i have 16. i feel its kinda big, esp if you commute and want to use it in public areas, such as cafe, trains and libraries. i wish i would have gone for 14 but with 32GB at least.
I love how your very frank about everything, fantastic vid 👍
🙏🙏 of course my man, thanks for watching!
hi
Hello there
Wowww what a dope tour video! Love your set up!
Glad you enjoyed the video Mikey!
How do you use both your pc and MacBook with your setup?
Since I don't swap between them too frequently I manually swap the inputs on the monitors but I'm planning on adding a KVM switch to make this process a bit more seamless.
Mac=Work PC = Gaming and since I try to avoid having those times overlap throughout my day so I don't absolutely need to be able to swap between them on a whim
where did you get that sick wall paper from?

How to make money with pomhotography and videography
First step is to figure out what kind of work you enjoy/can do. After that find some potential clients in your area that might need the service and then reach out to them with a few examples of your work
Most of my work came from referrals from people that I knew and met as time went on. Your network is key!
Love the pc build. Looks so good!
Thanks dude! The case is hella dope
this is the greatest video ive ever watched in my life
You are the greatest commenter of life
love from montreal
🙏🙏 how’d ya know?
LMAO i just realized i said it in the first minute of the video
@@ShaqHossain yes indeed 😆
Yo my man , look for the steelcase leap at BTOD, they are a refurbisher and reviewer of chairs, usually its 1200dlls for that chair but you can get it for 600 from them. I can tell you as an ergochair owner. Customer support from Autonomous is amazing. But the chair is not made for a 6'5 300 pound dude. xD (195cm)
I’ll def take a look! Took a quick look and saw it was a cloth chair if I’m not mistaken
Definitely leaning towards mesh for the next chair but not hard set on anything
@@ShaqHossain Kinda both actually, The mesh only is as good as the material its made from, A well made padded chair will beat a low quality mesh any day of the week, Source: I've also been a mesh boy most my life
@@NoNameNinjaa 100% mesh wise the only thing that has my eye is the Aeron, my uncle has an older one and I swear every time I sit on it my lower back transcends to the heavens LMAO
@@ShaqHossain Worth checking out BTOD's channel
they are suuuuuuper chair and desk focused they teest ***everything*
@@NoNameNinjaa I just skimmed through the video he has covering the Leap and it was super detailed. Gonna give it a proper watch later, thanks for the recommendation!
wildly good production quality!
Thanks dude!
Hands down the best setup I could find for my own needs.
Can you make a video on your MIC setup with settings. I have the same mic but the audio always comes out low even with high gain. High gain makes the noise more staticky
What interface do you use and how far do you position the mic from you when speaking? Ideally you should get the mic as close as possible.
The audio in this video was recorded on a Zoom H6 with the Shure MV7 and there’s also post processing on the audio. I boosted the gain in post, added a compressor and a few other filters.
2 possibilities to what could cause this that comes to mind right now:
1) There’s an issue with your XLR cable. I just noticed the 12 ft XLR I use at my desk has some static so I need to replace it. (Tested it against a 6ft XLR I had laying around) Also apparently it’s possible that your cable isn’t balanced and there are resistors in line so just make sure to check that as well. I haven’t experienced this myself so I’m not too familiar with this phenomenon
2) If it’s less of a high pitch static sound and more of a hissing it might be the interface picking up the noise floor as you crank the gain. (for example I notice the noise floor on my Zoom H6 and Rode NTG4+ when using a 25ft cable when i turn the dial past 5-6 ) solution for this is a different interface or adding something like a cloud lifter in-line before you get to your interface.
Hopefully it’s resolved with just swapping your cables. I’ll definitely make a video covering audio options in the future, adding it to the list now!
Comment got a bit long there haha, hope it’s helpful in the mean time!
I have Shure MV7 as well. I’m using GOXLR mini. I try to keep it close to my face. Record on OBS. Thanks for replying.
Not too familiar with how the GOXLR mini handles the audio but 1000% set up some filters on OBS. They make a HUGE difference and clean up your audio.
Bump the gain, throw on a compressor, noise gate and a limiter.
@@ShaqHossain Will do. Thank you!
Clean AF 😮
too dope 🔥
🙏🙏🙏
wow just wow superb review
Thanks!

Why would you keep the 4K display as the secondary?
I put more priority to the 280hz for gaming cause I’m very particular about the position and heights of things when gaming vs when working I’m more lenient with those things and just work with what I have
Aiming feels weird if things aren’t in the ideal positions
To expand on this on the work side is that I rely on the display of the Macbook a lot more than I thought I would. The colours are just way too clean on the Apple display so it seems like I’m gonna have to shell out for a studio display eventually 🥲 unless I find an alternative
@@ShaqHossain they just announced Samsung's ViewFinity S9. 5K & 27inches. You should get a review unit
I’ll try! Haha I wonder if they’ll send one over or not to a channel at such an early stage 🤞
very naise
