Today, it's a very long Dad Log. I wanted to break down hardware options for streaming. I get a lot of questions about my own hardware setup, so I will cover what I use, but will also cover other options for hardware in each category as well. There are a lot of considerations to make, console versus PC games, one PC versus two PC setups. We'll also talk about capture cards, audio interfaces, microphones, cameras, lighting and peripherals.
I'll break down the differences between your options in capture cards (internal vs external and brands), audio interfaces (boards vs rackmount vs desktop), microphones (usb vs xlr), cameras (webcam vs camcorder vs DSLR), lighting (DIY lighting vs photography lighting vs LED professional lighting) and peripherals like the Elgato Stream Deck. I hope you enjoy this hardware breakdown! God bless!
