What I Changed About My Twitch Setup and WHY

In this video, I talk about what I changed about my twitch setup and why. Live streaming is extremely important for DJs to learn because it's become a huge part of our careers. From just streaming on Twitch for fun to actually DJing real live events via Zoom, we are going to be required to have a great streaming setup moving forward. That's why I've been putting a ton of time and research into this, and I'm going to pass on everything I've learned in this video!

    Nice, I’ll definitely switch to 24 FPS after this. I agree on lighting. I’ve got a fancy fujifilm camera with a nice wide lens which helps make things all the more cinematic looking.. plus some nice color profiles to dial in a good look. Lighting is everything.

    What makes 24fps look more natural and cinematic is the motion blur. It’s my favorite setting. 60fps is best for filming sports and video games or green screen work where you don’t want the motion blur.

    awesome setup. thanks for all the advice. though your setup entirely within pro parameters, i personally have a few diffenreces of opinion. 1. i thought you were dropping frames at first but realized it was consistently dropping 6 frames per second or as you confirmed 24fps. i think it looks bad. maybe you’re doubling up the 24? like 24 on input and then 24 on output? it looks like more than one instance. 2. i don’t like your vocal mic/sound. i think it’s the mic because i don’t generally like Shure mics and think AudioTechnica and Sennheiser sound so much better in pure digital to digital recording. or it could be you’re EQing it more than necessary. it just sounds like the high end is very hyped - harsh, dull ‘s’es. 3. i think your wash/key lights are a bit high as well as your losing some contrast in your face. it’s washing out your details and you look a little too pink - but maybe that’s a Winter tan issue. anyway, i don’t think 99% of people would ever notice this - even after i brought it up - but these are things i think about and i thought as a friend you could now carry my burden, too. ;)

    Seems easier to buy a touch screen monitor for half the price of an iPad that is also 2-4 times larger than the iPad. I like the idea of making use of the iPad you already have though. 👍 Still, an 11 inch iPad has about 51 square inches of viewable space. A tiny 15 inch touch screen has about 101 square inches of viewable space. A modest 20 inch screen has 171 square inches of viewable space.

    I like your set up, however all that money spent and your vlogs aren't color corrected. Do you use Adobe Premier or any other "non-free" software to edit with? Color correction means that when you change shots the colors/lighting are linear to the previous shot. (sorry bro, I used to work at CNN as an editor) Use the wave form monitor on your software because I know you're not a hack like most vloggers that use iMovie or some freebie garbage

    Nick U know I love you, but I will comment about the mic. It's 6 to 1 bla bla bla but, you sound like a podcast instead of a dj/ club situation is the best way I can explain it. Maybe it's because I'm used to the way you have sounded for a long time, even watching your last video and the mic is picking up the ambiance of the room to me sounds a lot better. Perhaps you can EQ it to sound better, or maybe it's just the years of being in clubs and events and prefer that sound.. Also being a dj perhaps my ears are more refined than other viewers. Like I said you know I love you so take no offence. Just listen to this video and your last one and tell me what u think. Other than that learning all the fun things of twitch streaming, the video is on point. I've been using that capture card from the start and have had no issues at all, It's a VERY good recommendation for the $20!! Keep it coming!!!

    You don’t want anything Bluetooth if you’re acting and reacting to the music in real time. You’re inviting a delay. There are a ton of great monitor speakers. Pioneer makes a great set for $150. KRK has some for $200. Presonus has a great set for $100. Be careful asking for a comparison. You’re limited by the microphone and the compression for KZread and the speakers you listen to it on. For sure use your best set of headphones to check out how things sound online. For when you’re in a small room you don’t need anything larger than 6 inch monitors. Realistically, 4 inch monitors would be fine. That’s basically what all the pros suggest. When you’re building out a $10,000 studio you can upgrade the speakers. When you’re just starting out you’ve got tons of options. Just don’t use a Bluetooth speaker.
