Though the 4K X is capable of recording in 4K120, the majority of computers/laptops are not powerful enough yet to be able to capture in such a high quality. Leave a comment or reach out to my socials below for any questions you may have!

You have the best Twitch setup vids by far. No rambling just straight to the point and very informative. Thank you for all the help you provide.
ua-cam.com/video/zPor8HW7MWs/v-deo.html
The best content creator for us Mac/Console streamers🔥Thank you!
I gotchu 😉
I got a m2 his videos been so much help
m2 mac is great!
@@MidnightManI have a 2020 MacBook Pro and the 4K X capture card with the chat link pro cable and I also have a blue yeti mic and what if u have your headset mic instead of two microphones love your videos they help so much u inspire mee💯🔥
I’m so glad you posted this video. I just got my 4K ex capture card in the mail today and I’m in the process of setting this bad boy up with my MacBook Air M2 so this video was definitely meant to be.
Please can you let me know when the m2 air works perfectly for it
So glad to see you’re still posting bro, I remember you posted my comment during a Q&A years ago during bo2 “gagglepaggle” proud of you bro, keep going!
I needed this exact video thank you so much
This what I wanted to see! 🤩 thanks!
Great tutorial! Just got the 4K X and I'm about to move into a new place, so will have to watch again in a week or two haha
Thank you a lot! That's just the video I needed! 🥰
Thanks bro for the video it helped me a lot especially setup the sound in my mac. Thanks a lot again for that.
This guy needs more love he has helped me so much with my ps5 for tips so i could make better vids😊
Very detail and simple to follow
Just the Vid I needed for my M1 Mac mini, Viotek UltraWide, Xbox SX, & LG C3 4K/120/48.😎
What’s Upp!!! I gotta say I love when you post videos, especially when it’s to help other people to chase their streaming dreams! Like Me!! I love it man, keep it up 🫶🏽
Great video, thanks!
Nice video I love watching your videos!
Tysm for tuning in! Much appreciated!
Loved the stream 🔥
Fire bro i woke up so mad i missed the stream i said to my self i was gonna take a short nap but I fell asleep for 16 hours😂but that means im gonna make even more bangers. Hope you doing well bro and W vid
ahah it happens man! no worries! next time
Bro, this one awsome. thumbs up Machan.
Can you make a video on how to setup Astro A-50 with wave xlr?
This is beautiful
Actually the perfect video for me, I've been watching so manny videos of yours recently because I want to have as much knowledge that I can when I start streaming. And I can just say, you saved me so much money, I didn't think streaming through a MacBook with OBS was possible because I rarely see it. Thank you so much, you just gained a subscriber!
My only question is, do you need a "Pro" MacBook in order for it to run well, or are "Air" MacBooks compatible as well?
Any silicon machine will run well!
@@MidnightMan Sorry, another question... Am I able to use this same exact setup, but my monitor is a Samsung Odyssey FHD IPS 240 Hz-G Sync, and also using the elgato HD60 X?
Yeah you can use it, but the HD60X doesn't pass up to 240 if you're using a PC
Another great video thanks 🙏🏼
thank you!
Great video like always keep it up ❤
Thank you Eddy!!!
I have laptop I still got elgato hd60x connected to my gaming monitor sceptre 24.5 240 hz I used for my ps5 digital and Nintendo switch too my friend
GREAT VIDEO!!!
You did a budget video with a mini pc... Can you do a video with a PS5, a good mini pc, but with decent accessories like the Elgato hD60x, Streamlabs, a proper mic, facecam, and headset... So that it works for a beginner streamer/recorder?
thank you Donna! And a great mini PC will fall out of the budget price range. The one I showed from Blackview still isn't bad, it's good for the price tbh.
Thank you for the tutorial; it's been incredibly helpful in setting up mine. I'm curious whether you use the Wave XLR for its software capabilities or if it's essential for this setup?
It’s partly essential because I couldn’t use the XLR microphone without some sort of interface. I like the Wave XLR because of how easy it is to use and the software
What do you recommend just to mix audio from PS5 and PC to same phones? I don't need to be able to talk on the laptop, I just want to hear the audio of the laptop and PS5 on the same phones, to be able to play some music/videos on queues etc big props for the videos, as always really awesome!

This is the turtorial I followed. I checked if MidnightMan had a vid on this himself but couldn't find one.
Just bought one of these as an upgrade from the Live Gamer Ultra. Will be nice not to scale the resolution down!
what up bro thanks for the review I got 5 pages of notes from your hole live
sheeeshhh you serious! great stuff!
Good video
This. Is. Great. TNX I am going to try FIRST with what I already own, then MAYBE upgrade but... first, I have to make my first video properly ;)
hey can you make an updated video for the xbox series s/x. with the elgato capture card. would really enjoy that
I love the video bro.. Can I use a MacBook Air?
That's beautiful. Love it. Thanks are there any uses besides recording games if one were to use a 4K capture card? Perhaps a dumb question, but thank you anyways.
you can stream! Even in 4K on platforms like UA-cam. Other than that, theres no other purposes a capture card serves outside of pulling your gameplay picture in to be captured.
@@MidnightMan Thank you so much for your time and the explanation.
Why dont u record on 60fps at 4k? I tried my m1 mac air and for some reason it stutters like mad when its 60fps even with 10gbps
4K60 actually works fine for me, I just didn't do it for this particular video (should have in hindsight). 4K 120 stutters like crazy for me on the other hand.. hope that gets better.
@@MidnightMan thats really strange to be frank. I mean Im on mba m1 but I should not get any issue at OBS yet I get encoder overload problem for no reason even using hardware acceleration. guess time to upgrade the pc. thanks man.
great vid! how (if possible) can I just use my headset microphone for the stream? It’s a wired headset that I connect to my controller. do I have to setup anything in obs??
How interchangeable is this setup for a regular gaming channel? Can i use the webcam to capture video of myself or would you suggest I use a mirrorless or dslr?
Hey man I appreciate your content about this type of setup. Do you do personalized consulting? If so please let me know the place and prize to get info direct from you. I run a recording studio and I want to add this type of setup to the studio but I have more questions than this video. If you don’t do that it’s all good. People like me would pay for that kind of option. Thanks. Your channel is great. ✌🏼
hey, you should do video setup on using an ipad for streaming/youtube
What kind of headphones is best for this kind of setup? How does that part work. How do you hear the sound and where are you plugging them in or is it usb to ps5? The game play audio is where I’m a little lost.
Hey, do you think you can do a video how to capture MacBook onto OBS with without the wave XLR every time I try to go online and stream my audio sounds choppy and very low
Nice video, for storing gameplay etc what would you typically use?
This storage unit here, mainly so my primary computer SSD doesn’t fill up ua-cam.com/video/YriXRWzh-cI/v-deo.htmlsi=EYtG5lOwjRiSGyFl
Does it matter what laptop you have or do you need the right specifications on it?
So my question is what is your video output what I’ve noticed is that I get capped at 4K 60 but can’t output 4K 120 even with my highest Mac Studio. Thoughts?
Does this work with astros a50 r is there another video?
Hey MidnightMan, I don't feel like I'm quite yet ready to stream just yet. However, I do want to make gaming content for UA-cam. I have the MacBook Pro, I purchased the RODE PodMic and boom using your link, M9 monitor, what are the other necessary components I would need to make quality content? I mostly want to start off with clips and voiceovers. I also notice this mic picks up a lot of background noise, but my Pulse Elite has great noise cancelling.
Can I use my zephyrus G14 instead of mac?
And can I use my astro a50x mic for party chat?
🙏🏿highly appreciated
So i know you have the M1 macbook but will the Intel i7, 16gb ram 1tb of memory work aswell for the setup you built ? im asking because I just bought pretty much this entire set up haha but I just realized my mac is different than yours
hello i have been streaming on twitch thru my ps5 but i want to change it up to obs, so my question is whats better a 16gb or 32 gb rams for a laptop and which capture card will do best. do i go with a 16gb laptop and a expensive capture card or 32 gb with a less expensive capture card.
What headsets do you recommend for this set up?
This may be a stupid question but will this work for an All in Mac 2021 and LG Ultra Gear OLED 27in ? I have a elgato HD60+ but it’s not working should I upgrade to the 4k elgato device ?
Thanks for your videos
So I can do all of this without a PC? I saw through your product links and they are somewhat expensive, is there any other less expensive products that I can do this with too?
What’s up @midnightman, I’ve watched all your videos and pretty much got all my info from you, you’re a great help! I don’t have the money to get this MacBook too high, can you recommend any laptops I could use 1000$ and Under, I want to stream my ps5 gameplay, I have the elgato hd60, I know you can stream from ps5 directly, but trying to get something with better quality, asked around noones trying to help lol
I forgot to mention I’m trying to stream atleast 1440 or 4K quality if possible with that budget
Bruh! elgato sponsore this man 😂!
Nice setup 👌🏾...
lol I wish! Elgato did send me a sample unit of the 4k x though
I finally got my self a mic, idk if it will work when i plug it on my laptop and still gets the sound to my recordings from my iphone
Hi there, thanks for this video. I followed your guideline to set up mine, the difference only is, I use OBS. I can see the PS5 HDMI signal in OBS but I cannot pass through the video signal to my 4K TV via Elgato 4K X. So, I try to test my HDMI cable directly connected with my PS5 and 4K TV, it is perfect to see 4K 120hz with HDCP disabled, hence I can confirm my HDMI cable is working fine under this situation. What other settings I am doing wrong with my Elgato 4K X? Why no pass through video signal to my 4K TV? Any hints?
I have a 2017 MacBook Air i believe 8G ram & 256GB would that be suitable for this setup?
Is it possible to use my headphone mic instead of an external mic while using this setup?
Awesome 👏🏽 video bro 😎 keep up the great work, editing & audio was nice and on point, the setup process 🔥 nice tutorial video. I can’t wait to get that capture card.
But the real question is - How do I setup my PS5 to stream with the Mac 💻🤣😂 - jk 😅 but great video bro God Bless .
thank you man! Glad you enjoyed, capture card is awesome
@@MidnightMan yeah I definitely need to upgrade soon, no more of this HD60s+ time to step it up and get another monitor
You never got the HD60 X?
@@MidnightMan nope 👎🏽 lol 😂 just been on my HD60S+ but now I’ll upgrade and get the new one ☝🏽 just to play in 1440p 60 or 120fps cause 4K is nice but too extreme and some 4K monitor hdmi 2.1 or 2.2 expensive
Yeah man, the experience is amazing!
Please don’t be angry that I have so many questions
Apart from the webcam , do you use the camera as well or just the webcam from elgato
2. Apart from the Apple Mac that you used , can you please suggest any other Mac that one can use that won’t be too expensive like the one you got please
3.
What headphone are you using
Will you be purchasing the brand new ps5 slim and if so will you do an unboxing vid? Also, my birthday is next week and I’m really excited 😍 I am thinking about using my birthday money to buy a ps5 tho, so would you recommend the slim for new users?
Hey Stormvr! Yeah you can get it, I wasn't planning on buying it myself because it's only slightly thinner with the exact same specs. I'll get the specced bumped model when that comes out.
Awesome! Thanks for the advice, can’t wait to play Call Of Duty for the first time! Wish me luck 🤞
Can I stream on twitch and UA-cam using a MacBook Air m2 base model I want to connect it to 2 monitors, 1 webcam, a microphone and a gaming head set can u elaborate and help ?
How would you use a Steeleseries Artic nova pro headset with game dac on this setup?
I would just listen directly from the headset connected to the console, and not from the Wave XLR. And use the chat link to pull line out audio from the headset's DAC.
Is there any alternative for the MacBook?
Whats that grey boy at 3:16 in the video ?
If I'm using a wireless headset plugged into my PS5, will the audio transfer through my capture card and to my PC or do I have to get a separate audio device?
Need a tutorial for a viable one headset setup for ps5 & pc to be able to hear pc audio and ps5 audio without the wave xlr 😅 also need to capture chat with OBS too! Send helppppp hahah
Do you do any consulting? I’m having some audio issues using a PS5/HD60x/iMac M1 with Wave DX mic and Wave interface on OBS.
I do, feel free to shoot me an email, listed in description
So with a capture card how to you edit the videos with just a console?
Damn. How do you get your mic audio so nice and crisp?!
I apply filters to it such as voice isolators, EQ, and compressor when post editing
@@MidnightMan which software do you use in post edits?
Brooo How do I get my game audio to go through my Elgato X into a Maono g1 neo audio mixer with a Maono xlr mic?
Hey man so i am from india and i have a gaming rig and will soon start streaming and video recording but the problem is i was planning to use my MacBook m1 air as the streaming pc but the usb c to usb c cable isn’t available in india can i use a normal usb c 3.2 40gbps cable?
what other monitors can I use for the ps5?
how can i use this with the new astro a50x ??? i need answers im struggling
Which MAC would you recommend for streaming? Would an iMac be good? Specs would be helpful (would want a smooth experience where my computer doesn’t sound like a jet engine lol)
Any silicon iMac would be awesome!
How do I get rid of the lag or delay when playing FPS online?
I have the same problem with my screen being gray but it’s on the monitor I’m playing on I have a pic will that same switch work to make it not gray
what if I'M using the CHAT LINK PRO with my gaming headset with the built in mic.
im so confused, sorry if i missed it, but now we no longer need a dac to let our wireless headphones work? or would it be better to just get headphones with an aux jack and plug in into the wave xlr. I am stuck whether I need new headphones with a dac or not.
I don’t have a laptop only a pc and ps5. Is it still possible to record my audio without a laptop?
I’m not into Mac’s are there any other recommendations
I’m new too yours channels ❤😅. 🎊. And I love to game but I only play one specific games which is mortal kombats 😢. I love that’s games been playing since I was a kids I’m 27 now so I wanna play on twitch some times
can i use my macbook air? I have two USB C type ports
My capture card is working on OBS showing image perfectly fine but I am not getting any image on my main monitor? HDCP is off and everything is wired correctly. How am I supposed to play? just by looking at OBS preview?
I’m losing my mind trying to get the wave link software to work w/ my Mac mini. I followed the directions but still can’t get it to work. Any ideas?
I have a MacBook Air 13” will that work for this ?
@MidnighlMan hey i have a question I Have a pc instead of a mac book does a pc or mac book play a factor in recording and exporting in high quality
Both work well, just depends on your computer specs. Any of the new Macs are great
I just bought HD60 Pro just for streaming because streaming doesn't support 4k yet. I hope it’s still worth to have it.
Please what camera are you using to record the content ??
Canon r6 m2
Is that a wireless headset? I have an h9 and can’t get it to work.
Can you done of these video for Xbox just got the 4K x wondering how to setup audio with wireless headset
I did an xbox setup vid here ua-cam.com/video/4lsYzeOrOy8/v-deo.html&pp=ygUYeGJveCBzZXJpZXMgc3RyZWFtIHNldHVw
@@MidnightMan I was looking for one tailored towards Elgato 4K x seen that old video would still prefer and updated one just like you did for ps5.
I understand. The setup will be essentially the same even with different capture cards
can this method be applied to a hybrind pc/mac gaming streaming setup? Do you have a video on that?
What do you mean by that? Like using Mac to record PC? It will work
Does anyone know if a separate mic is needed if you want to also have audio from your party chat to your stream?
Pretty sure this set up captures party chat audio - but if you want to be able to chat to your teammates or friends you’ll need a dedicated mic plugged into your ps5.
If you have an Xbox one mic will handle it all
So the only problem I am having is getting the chat audio to show up on my livestream. Can you help me? I use streamlabs
Hello sir! tone mapping still is not that accurate for the viewer. It improves but still the colours are not that good. Cheers
Yeah, I can agree somewhat with that. Depending on the game, if it looks bad enough, just turn off HDR on PS5 all together.
so did just elgato and benq spons your video or did sony sponsor you as well for this sponsored video ?
How do I connect a wireless headset to this set up? Specifically, Corsair virtuoso
How do you use the Elgato 4K X with Apple Silicon M1 ?
