Up and walking

All the computers are receiving an input from the sound board. Between the separate outputs and Amelia constantly playing with the board, keeping an eye on things is mentally taxing.

I do feel good rigging an attachment for the mic boom. The Ikea desk was too thick for the clamp. I screwed in a piece of wood for the boom to attach to. While a crappy attachment, it feels good how quickly I did it.

Almost there

I purchased some audio equipment for the podcast. A Yamaha MG12 will allow me to have better control of the mix. My voice, the game and the chat will be on separate channels. I will probably mix in some sound effects soon, but need to figure a good app for the effects.

I tried running the podcast from a single machine, wasn’t able to get it to work consistently. Voicemeeter is great but not stable on my machine.

Managing a video stream through one machine is a little tough. I run all my games in full screen so it’s hard to tell what is going on with the streaming app.
