New Year Resolution: Becoming a Youtuber


HELLO WORLD 2019, I AM STARTING A YOUTUBE VLOG AND PULLING ALL MY NON TECH/TECH FRIENDS INTO THE TECH SCENE AND THE YOUTUBE WORLD. IT WILL BE FUN AND CHAOTIC. :)

Amazing video and sound quality brought to you by IPhone. Still saving up for my camera and microphone.

I'd tell a bit about microphones if you're going to buy one.

AT2020USB+ is a good microphone for a reasonable price. I bought it myself and I'm happy with the sound quality (little-to-zero noise (little becomes zero with some audio editing tools such as Audacity) and 48kHz). I know a lot of Twitch streamers who uses this mic.

I also heard that Rode has some good mics but I don't know the models. You can, however, look at some ASMR folks, most of them use Rodes AFAIK.

You can also buy an XLR microphone, for example AT2020, a XLR-USB mixer, and you'll have much more control over your sound, but it's kinda complicated to setup and configure everything. It might cost a little more or a little less depends on your choice in mics and mixers.

USB mics are simpler in these terms and there isn't any difference between them in terms of audio quality for podcasts/youtube/twitch things.

Good luck!

NOICE!!! Thanks for your great recommendation. I'm definitely looking for one to replace my iphone earpiece. 😏 Just curious, what do you record!?

Nothing. Just bought it because I wanted to start streaming (and I still do), but I don't have enough time and motivation for it.
