[@twinkyisland]

Half the price 🙄

Twitch Triggers

[@asepectz9223]

It is limited when it comes multi actions

[@hell_sparrow]

One that justifies paying 150 dollars (almost minimum wage where i live) for a Mini with only 6 customizable keys.

Nutty, when I first visited your site to be truthful, I saw you as a novelty, a bit odd. But after watching a few of your videos something clicked. I saw a bright, honest, and actually concerned person that wanted to help others and do it honestly! I'm subscribed and when I starting taking this video world unconditionally, I will go thru most of your videos. I wish you the best, you deserve it!

[@mrconstantinee]

I don't need a Stream Deck! Hell I don't even stream and I already knew that you'll talk abot HID Macros but I just saw that video on my feed and I LITERALLY loved how you make the video, explaning the whole process and your style. You totally deserve more subs and more likes! Subbed and liked the video cuz it's totally worth it !!

[@Durian_Defense]

Best help video. Ever. Full of humor, upbeat and excellent technical assistance. Plus a lisp to die for.

[@CoalitionGaming]

Dang I've been planning a similar video but your approach is way cooler than what I had in mind lol

SUPER Helpful! Thanks Nutty!

[@oldms]

I use obs to stream my church's services. I'm always looking for ways to improve so more people will stay home and not spread covid. You've helped me a lot this past year and maybe by helping me keep people at home, you may have even helped save lives. I'll be using this video to make a controller that will help me train someone to be my backup if I have to be gone. I really appreciate the work you do.

[@ArchieDeZ]

Noooo you don't have to be gone 😭😭😭 (jk)

[@phlooke]

I'm in the process of setting this up for a smaller local church, but was curious what you used to stream the service? Do you use like a professional DSLR camera, Logitech Webcam, or something like a newer iPhone or something to stream it? I was just using my iPhone in landscape mode attached to a tripod. and then didn't know if it would be easier to have the pastor wear a wireless Microphone. Or if I should just use the audio from any mic, or wireless mic and add that to the stream in post processing and sync it up afterwards. (And when I say iPhone /DSLR/Webcam I mean using one of those hooked up to my laptop using OBS) Also do you use the El Gato cam link? Or something like a HD60 S? Thanks!

[@oldms]

@@phlooke The lighting is pretty poor so we went with a Panasonic G7 as the camera. The iphone was too dark. We have a long hdmi cable feeding the signal back to the audio booth. From there its connected to an Elgato cam link. The church is the size of a basketball court so i had to have the camera about 60 feet forward to make it work. For audio I have a Zoom L20 connected to special outputs from our main mixer board so i have independent mixing capabilities from the main speakers. But originally I had a 2 channel interface like a Behringer UMC202HD hooked up to the stereo outputs from the main mixer to capture the same signal the main mix. If your church is small enough and well lit enough, you may be able to get a way with using an android phone/tablet and the CamOn or IP Webcam app wirelessly. I did something like that early on in covid just to get by until the better stuff showed up.

[@phlooke]

@@oldms Thanks for the recommendations/ and telling what all you use 👊 I knew of other ways to accomplish what I was trying to do, but unfortunately I was using my own personal money and time as I volunteered to help them out. So didn't really have an extra couple hundred dollars to purchase equipment that I was only going to use just for recording/archiving / streaming services. I was however debating on buying a nice new camera and mixing gear and possibly using them afterwards as upgraded streaming gear for personal gaming streams but I've been busy with IT/Network Security jobs all during COVID since so many more people were using their home PC/network as their work setup. As for the Sanctuary, it's about the size of a basketball court as well (maybe a little bigger). Thanks again for the reply. Do you spend any time editing the services? Or are they good to go right after you record them?

[@phlooke]

@@oldms Oh and I forgot to ask about when you were first getting started at the beginning of Covid before your nicer gear showed up. Which of those apps worked the best for you? The cam link (think that's the name, the one that is made by elgato) or the IP link app? I was using the El Gato cam app, but it has the option to buy the pro version for $8 and didn't know if that worked fairly decent? (Not necessarily for specific use for filming a church service but just as the easiest to use with the best quality), but I've noticed many people use their phone as a second cam on twitch for filming close up of things like opening packs of trading cards or as a static cam filming the streamers hand on their keyboard or mouse while they are playing games.

[@ralphkelvin5045]

You deserve a million subs, man.

[@chasetrevino]

this is amazing, ty so much

[@samuelvelero]

Thank you so much! This method is so good, I really love it

[@magnificentreality100]

First of all, exactly what I was looking for, very helpful as usual, second THE NUMPAD TRICK! so flippin simple but blew my mind. OF course that would work, thats like pre macro strats right there.

[@sendhelp8441]

4:13 youre honest. I like it. Sub

[@shareniazcarraga4313]

Thank you for the video! I had HID Macros but no one explained how to create new ones so I was kinda stuck there. Kudos!!

[@adrianmalinowski1073]

[@onlinebaas]

I appreciate all your hard work Nutty.

[@bensessions3753]

"If you haven't heard of nerd or die you haven't been watching my videos... which is ok by me because I respect your time". So many channels try to pressure you to like and subscribe at the beginning without seeing what the video is even about. Your approach is amazing and has gained you another subscriber. Keep it up!

[@zoeeechu]

I am pretty sure you could use the twitch API to add those features like sub only mode to the stream deck

[@richretrotech9426]

Really useful info. Can be used for much much more!

[@charlesfuentes481]

Thanks for this man. I'm getting started with streaming. So this really helps a lot.

[@rice5732]

10:16 maybe using nodeRED... to send the command to the chat using some sort of library like node-red-contrib-twitch-chat

[@connorlove9]

Nutty i know that this might be a crazy idea. but would you be ok in doing a video on all of your scenes in obs?

[@krrptzd]

Agree. The scenes look so organised.

[@Mcarsonisdumb]

Dude thaaaaank you, it's so nice to see thorough tips like this for people on a lower-budget. :D

[@karltaylor.humborjer]

this is very helpful thank you

[@kitajo2891]

Nutty! Your videos are so freaking helpful. Thank you. My stream is starting to really stand out from other noob streamers like me. Someday I may even get affiliated and then it'll actually matter.

[@donald-parker]

Almost exactly what I was looking for. I have no interest in OBS, but I've been using Autohotkey for years using mostly my Numpad keys to control lots of things related to music production in my DAW. I just bought a cheap Bluetooth numpad because I wanted to be able to control various things away from my desk, and I started researching how to differentiate between the external Bluetooth numpad and the one on my main keyboard. And I found no way to do this with Autohotkey (But if there is, I would love someone to point me in the right direction). I'm really not interested in OBS but the HID Macros sounds like the thing I need. A new journey begins!

[@thedarkangel613]

the is an application called autohot intercept that apparently allows you to separate keyboards. there are a couple videos on youtube on how to set it up

[@LincolnLohan77]

Amazing! Thank you so much for this! Amazing

[@badmanswag1152]

Wauw, you are a genius! Thank you for your work and explaining the steps so clearly.

[@devfinegames]

In case anyone is curious, the exact same setup will work with a Novation Launchpad Mini (And probably other MIDI devices) if you don't have another keyboard

[@aarondeery]

Yo bro, what a legend. I was wanting to use my Launchpad pro as a controller for my stream but was about to click off as I thought it would not work!!!

[@pixel_seph]

I do something similar with an Akai APC Mini and Voicemeeter Potato. The level of customization in both cases is amazing, the only thing it lacks is the ability to have icons on the physical controller.

[@djslip_irie]

Hmm , wonder if my Akai mpd will work

[@pixel_seph]

@@djslip_irie It definitely should! You just need a MIDI map (without knowing which model you have, I can't really speak to it in detail much further)

[@Reapinangel91]

Your humor is amazing. I'm dying at 4:11

Dude, you changed it for me, love you Bro!!!

Really useful for those of us that have extra keyboards lying around and want to put them to use instead of going out and buying a Stream Deck. I can do without the platform-specific features since I would probably stream to Twitch and KZbin simultaneously anyway. It also seems like it would be useful for making more professional KZbin videos.

[@Maple38]

FYI if you buy a QMK supported keyboard, you can even edit the firmware. This means changing what the keyboard does at the most basic level, so once edited it will work no matter what device you are on. Using regular software, the lowest level you can edit it at is the OS level, which will be only on that specific PC. In addition to that, QMK is super powerful. You can have it do anything you can think of, including having custom function keys, like if you have another language you want to type in which uses a different alphabet, in you can make a key that when held changes to that language's alphabet. It's a really cool software.

[@metajock]

Perfect, thanks.
