Budget Streamer Gear - What You NEED To Buy First?

I have bought a lot of gear in my job as a filmmaker, content creator, and now as a Streamer… and a lot of it has gathered dust as well, because of this I have learned my lesson… for the most part…
Today I am covering the BEST streamer gear purchases you should be making and in what order to grow your stream… while sticking to a budget!

Why Should You Upgrade A Microphone First?
We are assuming that you have a PC that can run a decent stream quality, then the most important purchase is a good microphone, if someone drops by and you are streaming 720p or even 480p they are usually okay with it, but if your audio hurts their ears or doesn’t sound right I promise you they will leave.
There are plenty of affordable USB mics that sound amazing, and you can take them to even better heights when you apply the right filters that are free and come with OBS and Slobs, our recommendation in this video is the Samson Q2u.

9:18 What Streamer Gear Should You Buy First?
What Are The Best Webcams and Lights For Streamers?
Your lighting is really what is going to make or break your webcam or camera quality, you can get some cheap LED panels from Neewer 90W or the Dazznee D50's Panels are great as well.
I use the Logitech C922 Pro, and then use these little LED light panels to light myself.
This little light is enough to light my face, and then I manually set my webcam settings which you really should be doing as well, slap a custom LUT I made for myself to make the colours look nice, and we’re good to go.
The lights behind me aren’t as bright so I stand out and they make the background look nice, which is important. You should try to make your background look nice or look at grabbing a cheap green screen.
The style of this video is similar to Alpha Gaming and Gaming Careers in parts. A large influence on this series has come from content creators like Wild4games and Nutty.

Hey #EarlyGang! Hope you're having a great week so far! What gear do you love, what do you regret buying? I am sure lots of you have the mics I referenced today, and love them! Hope you understand why I don't always recommend them for their price and type! Also, I flubbed and saying 5600k and not 4600k for my lighting colour. 🕘Timestamps: 0:00 Small Streamers Waste So Much Money On Gear! 0:49 The Best Streamer Overlays and Graphics For Beginners! 1:29 What Budget Microphone Is Best For Streamers? 4:40 What budget Mic Arm To Buy For Streaming? 6:40 What Budget webcam to buy for streaming? 7:30 What Budget Lighting To Buy For Streaming? 9:18 What Streamer Gear Should You Buy First?

Also, the reason I didn't plug the Samson q2u in to let you hear it is because a proper review would require an entire video, a small snippet wouldn't help you, that's why I linked Podcastage :) You get comprehensive information and sound examples rather than just me plugging it in and going, "Hello there 1 2 3 4 ... see its great!"

G'day! Just discovered your channel and love it. My 11 yo son (who like me has diagnosed ASPD) has recently expressed some aspiration to get into video game streaming. As a result so has myself. Ha! I have a background of audio production/recording, and a knack for repairing/upgrading PCs & older intel Mac, but honestly? I'm a relative noob in regards of creating streaming content. Anyhoo... The game systems we currently have are an Xbox series S and a SSD upgraded PS4 Pro with PSVR & all the VR peripheral bells & whistles. My daily driver computer is a late 2013 iMac (i7 4770, 16gb, 1gb GTX 750M gpu), but I also have an old Ivy Bridge PC (i7 3770, 12gb, 2gb GTX 750ti gpu) I also have a plethora of monitors, couple of audio interfaces, and microphones handy. Also during Covid I picked up one of those cheap generic HDMI to USB video capture cards of Amazon. Ok wow! This comment is getting loooong! Ha! Alrightythen... Given the hardware I already own? I'm thinking the only other thing I'd honestly need is perhaps a decent 1 in-2 out HDMI splitter? Does that sound about right? Obviously I would be streaming/capturing at 1080p-60Hz if I'm not mistaken. Anyway... Any/all more knowledgable advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers! P.S. I most definitely smashed the Like button, hit Subscribe, and rang the Notification Bell. 🖖

Samson Q2U, and the Logi C920/2 are the ULTIMATE budget setup for streaming! The USB use of the Q2U is great, and it leaves room to upgrade to XLR! it is almost necessary to upgrade the Firmware of the Q2U tho! Helps with the bug that makes you have to unplug the usb cable and plug it back in to get it working (may be fixed with recent revisions!). The best tips with the C920, is to manually edit the exposure and other lighting settings, so you can force a high Framerate, so you don't get the "Overly Exposed smearing" with high motion. What a great video!

@curtistennant 6 ай бұрын

Hi mate great videos. Very helpful. A little to say about your audio advice. I am an audio engineer just for clarity. What you are actually referring to is the microphones polar pattern. A polar pattern indicates a microphones rejection zones. Ie. Cardioid, hyper cardioid, or omni directional. Cardioid reject a lot on the underside of the microphone so placement of that microphone is just as important. Knowing where that rejection is happening is the key

@SonicAlpha Жыл бұрын

I also use that webcam, it's a fairly solid choice. For a Stream Deck alternative, I used Touch Portal. It can turn your phone or tablet into the same thing, and is about £12 to upgrade to pro (which allows you to add more buttons on screen). I used it solidly for a year to control my streams. It handled scene transitions, bot commands, shoutouts, an emergency hate/bot raid button, mic muting, and even controlled my vtuber avatar. I can't recommend it enough.

Yetis are so hard to set up right, because, as you mention, they pick up everything. It took next to no time to set up my Q2U to p[ick up my voice and my voice only, and I sit right next to a vent.

As a general rule with any kind of filming in artificial light, it's far cheaper to buy a light setup that would make all but the worst potato-tier cameras look amazing than the other way around. That said, I haven't been shopping for that kind of lights in a long while, so no idea how much exactly decent ones cost nowadays.

Great video. One thing to mention lighting and wearing glasses. A person wearing glasses will have to set up their lighting different from a person that does not. The reason being is that if you set it up like people normally do, you will see the light itself in the lenses of your classes in the video or podcast. You have to set it up more above you than in front of you. I just run a 4ft single bulb led light. Just hanging above me using fishing string and 2 eye hooks. Leave the fishing string long, and you can raise and lower the light buy the string and tie it off when you think it looks good on camera.

Condensers are fine too and all you would have to do is run some software in the background to control your gain and eq. Or you can just get around all that hassle and just get a dbx 286s pre-amp. A great condenser usb mic is the at2020. I personally use the tlm-103 and rode nt1 but I also make music so those are on the expensive side. While you are correct about dynamic mics being better at not picking up noise, you won't have as crisp a voice as you would with a condenser. You can also always get a sound enclosure for your mic if you're worried about extra noise. Me personally, I'd never use a dynamic mic unless it was for a live performance where there is tons of people around making noise. I care too much about tone to not use a condenser

@potato4dawin1 5 ай бұрын

Finally! A channel that gave me an ACTUAL REASON to choose one mic over the others that I can understand. All kinds of streamers will be like "just buy whatever you can afford" and I don't know if I'm getting a good deal or getting ripped off All kinds of tech review tubers will have a state of the art setup including just their room's sound damping and I can't tell what's best for me. The dynamic vs. condenser microphone distinction is finally what sold me on it. I put in an order on amazon for 1 day shipping since my old mic broke. Can't wait to try it out!

I started with my Arctis 7 headset mic, but pretty quickly decided to upgrade to a shure pga48 + mtrack solo and haven't looked back. That audio interface + mic combo cost me about $110CAD, then I went to Princess Auto and bought a $25 "special" mic boom arm with pop filter and shock mount. Honestly, at this point, I never plan to 'upgrade' the mic, though I have been tempted by audio interfaces and would love a rode PSA1.

Dig the babyfaced look today Eljay! I just started streaming with a SUPER cheap setup. My vods are here on my YT channel if anyone wants to see the results. I've been very happy with my Nexigo N980P webcam and Nexigo Glow Light. The webcam is especially nice because it has a very wide field of view and has surprisingly good video quality out of the box. The effectiveness of the light will depend on your setup. I suspect it works well for me because I'm streaming from a laptop that is right in my face, but the built in battery is nice to have. I'm less enthusiastic about my cheap Fifine USB lavalier clip-on mic, but I went with that because I already had it on-hand and using it didn't require extra equipment like a mic arm. I'm planning to play around with EQ settings a bit more when I'm over this cold to see what I can squeeze out of it. That will probably be the first thing I upgrade though.

My wife bought me a blue yeti, when it was on sale, 10 years ago and it was about $120ish iirc. Its the same microphone I use today, albeit, it's now on a arm boon with a pop filter over the top. I bought a $20 arm off amazon warehouse but before that I had its stand placed on top of a towel, on a small box, and my keyboard was also on a towel, to help diminish all the thudding and reverb. Now I don't use any towels lol

This is funny. I did my research before making purchases, and the mic I settled on was the Samson Q2U. The Mic Arm I picked up was the Neewer Microphone Arm Stand because it was part of a very budget friendly package deal with the Q2U. Is it the best? Far from it. Does it handle all my needs? Yes. I'll likely upgrade it in the future, but that'll have to wait until I finishing sorting out some other life factors. The webcam I got was the C920, which for the most part is exactly the same camera as the C922. Should I need a replacement in the future, I'd certainly get the C922 as it's usually cheaper now than trying to acquire the C920 again, and technically offers a slightly improvement in a couple ways. And lastly, lighting. I have no space for good lighting atm, but Dazzne is exactly what I had decided on getting once I have a larger area to stream. It's nice to hear that I've, by and large, made the proper decisions for streaming equipment.

Would you recommend using this mic instead of my previous Elgato Wave 3? I think it sounds better, but I am not sure. Thank you for the video, I definitelly need some lights.

If you already have them all, just try them out and see what you like better :) The elgato strength is the digital mixer to split audio tracks for recording though.

Thanks for the answer. Yeah, the mixer is a godsend :)

I use the hyperx quadcast S and I also run a VERY loud high velocity fan to keep me and my gear nice and cool. The fan absolutely does not get picked up because the mic has 4 polar patterns and I put a noise suppressor on it. Simple fix. I get that it's not the best quality mic and that it is a little more expensive......... but.........pretty 🤣🤣

I wish I knew about dynamic and condenser mics before buying the HyperX SoloCast. It's a good mic, don't get me twisted, but my echo-y room makes it a mess

I'm using the BM 800 microphone (USB) which is less than 20 usd (already comes with a boom arm). with the correct filters, my voice went from ass to less ass. I'm targeting the samson q2u as my next upgrade as it could make my voice like a very nice ass... for now, I'll focus on improving my content

hey Eljay, I have an unrelated question. What advise do you have for Euro streamers who'se physical timezones line up the worst for avalibility/audience e.g. when the US gets off school/work its near midnight here, and when we wake up you've already gone to bed? I'm having a hard time figuering this one out on my own and online sources so far haven't been really helpful, hence me asking this to you

That it doesn’t matter :) I streamed at the lowest peak time for twitch for 2 years. There are billions of people on the planet, you’ll always find people, just make good discoverable content.

@DarkandDolan Жыл бұрын

Really surprised you didn’t mention any FineFine mics or off-brand boom arms like the InnoGear. They’re highly rated and very budget friendly.

As I said, I can only recommend what I’ve used and has worked for me.

though I respect your perspective, I found everything Razer and hyper X for super cheap on amazon no cap, those items go on sale alot and I paid damn near the same for the quad cast as that samson mic, but you're still very good at these videos thank you

Yes all those tools go on sale a lot because they’re overpriced and can be knocked down

@StreamScheme exactly! They prey on shock value pricing you're doing a very good job as always with these vids

Hey Eljay! Is there any difference between the Audio-Technica AT2005USB and the Samson Q2U? The first mic is around 55$ USD and the second mic is on sale for $70 USD.

@StreamScheme 5 ай бұрын

I’d watch reviews of both by Podcastage :) I have a video on the Samson in detail as well.
