Hi All,

A little bit cheeky to ask I know but here goes anyway. I have recently started producing a few gaming videos, so far being Kingdoms & castles and Car mechanic simulator. Obviously being new to any form of video recording the quality isn't great and i'm sure there must be areas where i can improve.

So i'd really appreciate any comments good & bad about what works and what could be improved

Thanks in advance for any help :-)
 
Thanks for your feedback. As I record more i am finding myself saying less urms & arghs and such funny noises which should hopefully continue to improve the commentry.

For recording I have been using OBS studio and then editing with lightworks v14. Microphone wise I am only using my headset (hyperx cloud) which I know isn't ideal, I need to research and buy a better usb microphone.

haha unfortunately it is not, although I wish it was. No it is a an evo 8, at the start of the channel I wasn't sure if i wanted to do a gaming or car channel, I think now though i have realised I can't do both so am going to stick with gaming and move away from the car side. In the future if this pans out well I may start a second channel to do some car stuff.
 
Haha thanks guys appreciate the feedback.

Certainly right about the microphone hiss, not sure if thats just down to a cheaper microphone or me not recording properly. I am going to have a go recording the microphone separately in OBS so I can play with the audio track.

I'll have a go playing my voice back as I record that could help my commentary.

Thanks all
 
Yeah i agree with the mic, going to have a look and hopefully order a decent mic this afternoon :)

I'm certainly starting to feel that I am getting more comfortable talking while playing, hopefully my commentary will get better and better with less pauses

Thanks for the feedback and comment on video
 
One question I was wondering, has anyone else used streaming (twitch etc) as a means of promoting your youtube channel? I wasn't really planning on doing any streaming but thinking it could be good way of gaining subscribers?
 
Just a bit of an update I have now got a much better mic (Blue yeti) I love it :-)

So now videos should sound a bit better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzLMNG1Yc_k

It still takes a bit of getting used to, with the gain set in the middle, as in above video i thinks its a bit to sensitive, so going to try turning it down a little so it doesn't pick up every slight movement or click i make.

Also looking at trying audacity with OBS so that I can record seperate audio tracks, then I guess i should be able to edit mic audio separately to game sounds.
 
Thanks for the feedback guys, yes your right regarding the microphone hiss, I'm going to download audacity and try to record the game audio and microphone audio on separate tracks so that i can have a go at editing any mic noise out in post.
 
Thanks for the feedback

Yes your probably right with the intro, will looking at making it a bit more gentle and less in your face.

Yes it should be 1080p thats just me being lazy and trying to keep file sizes down, will change it to record in 1080 from now on

yes did have a few pauses as i was trying to figure out the game, will be sure to title it blind play through or learn the game a bit before in future. because as you say i'm not capable of learning a game and trying to be interesting at the same time haha

Its been exactly 2 weeks today since I started, have managed to keep up a video daily and feel I am improving, just still a long way to go to get the video quality up to where I want it to be

only watched the first minute.

change your intro. Its far too "in your face" Needs to be more mellow. Dont like the bass/boom thing.
mic or sound issues?
also if you are doing a BLIND playthrough maybe state it in the video description/title. Blind plays are vastly different.
also uhh 720p ? tbh i dont watch anything that is 720p. Is this 2010? :D

will update further.


Just more info on the "blind" stuff. Basically you need to state this because blind plays contain a lot of dead time so to speak. You got a 30 minute long video man. I would shorten it to maximum of 20 or even 15 minutes. I would also do minimum of 1080p / 1440p. (some watch on very big screens :) )

Also if you knew what you were doing you could focus your voice on entertaining us rather than wondering what to do?

:D

Finally got 1080p recording sorted :)

All future videos will now be 1080, although still 30fps, but given most of my videos are stratergy/ simulations games (ie. not call of duty) i didn't think 60fps was really required?
