YouTube and Twitch Gear Guide 2024

Awesome content as always man. As someone who has dabbled with my setup for the past 10+ years, everything you’re saying is accurate. I don’t stream myself but I’m an enthusiast and a gamer. I gave up gaming headsets over 10 years ago and I’ve tried all kinds of mixers, mics, headphones, etc out there just for fun. There is so much good stuff out there for a real cheap price for anyone starting out streaming these days. I just love technology in general and it’s always exciting to see innovation in this space.

Glad you mentioned how long it took for Rode to give us the features we asked for in the very beginning. Well we still don't have it yet since it's out in beta.

the Samson Q2U is also an extremely great USB Mic thats under 75$ .. and has an XLR port on it as well

Thanks for the honesty and unbiasness. Looking out for our pockets is something most tech reviewers dont do.

[@StreamGearTalk]

Hey thank you! That's what I'm here for

[@PigTownSports]

dont be afraid to use your camera or a Go pro with good lighting as well before going for a mirrorless. Get yourself established before spending money

[@agentshenron]

Hey ​ @StreamGearTalk, question for you. So now that Rode added more virtual channels to the Rodecaster Duo, which would you go with between the Rodecaster Duo or the Elgato Stream Deck+ XLR bundle?

[@StreamGearTalk]

Hey! Thanks for asking. It all depends on what you're willing to pay, ease if use if the software, and how it all works together. Sadly I no longer have the Rodecaster to try out this new update so I can't voice an honest opinion on it. But based on past experience with it and current experience with elagto, for the cost savings I'd go with elagto. Now, I do have a beacn studio in the way and if that thing does what I think it can then might change things

But the Sm7B setup is a Lifetime, 1 time Purchase, if you take care of your gear. rather than selling a used beacon or lesser setup at a huge loss. that's if any one buys your used gear. Only camera to Buy Sony.

dont buy a rodecaster to stream.. buy an elgato.. and i have the rodecaster.. but im doing more podcasting .. and calling into shows. the rodecaster is fantastic. but the elgato.. esp the streamdeck + with the xlr hub.. is unbeatable.. gives you 2 pieces of hardware that are a REALLY REALLY nice to have.. into 1 unit ..
