$62 but this is an amazing webcam, use this one for business meetings, great quality. The Logitech 310 (720p-only but $35) is good too if that one is out of your price range.

Keep making the videos you'd want to see. If others aren't that into it, fuck em, keep going. Have fun working so the process is its own reward, it will be very fulfilling. As you continue you'll get better and better and better.

Robert Rodriguez started with vhs tapes as a kid, editing from one vcr to another. He made tons of videos and credits his time doing so with a lot of what he learned and why he was able to become a professional. We learn by doing, so keep doing what you do.

If you can do natural light, it is always best!
I got a set from amazon awhile back that I use ...

It's pretty nice having more then one light.
It depends also on the videos u r making.

You can cut cost and get just as good of a processor by buying an AMD ryzen processor. Ryzen 2600 performs just as well as a majority of I7's out there. However 32GB is a must.

​

You can get some pretty decent ones on amazon, if your not into building your own.

With I7 level processors you won't really get better bang for your buck than with a Ryzen CPU.

You will however have to upgrade the RAM.

Renders really fast.

Warning: the following maybe super wrong as I have no first hand experience with this brand.

From my experience buying a condenser microphone should cost upwards of £70 Maybe £60 if youre super lucky and somewhere has a massive stock clearance sale. Go to a music store (online) and look at their condenser microphones and you'll see what I mean. These microphones are £20. I have absolutely no idea how they are charging almost 1/4 of the standard 'low price tier' microphones.

Again while I have no experience with either of the microphones you listed- I would advice you to tread very carefully. I feel like this is one of those occasions where the extremely low price is a reflection of the quality of the product.

In addition Id add that - this is pretty much an 'entry level' microphone that Ive used for about 10 years. Far from the best or even studio quality.. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Audio-Technica-AT2020-Cardioid-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B0006H92QK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1469984857&sr=8-2&keywords=audio+technica+microphone .

Audio Technica at2020 mic is your friend here buddy, get it with the "bought together stuff" it's what I use, another youtuber bought it for me and it works like a charm (it also has a headphone jack).

Realistically, you're pretty much gonna need a mic. However, you're not going to necessarily need an expensive mic. Find something within your budget. With a little audio editing in Audacity (a free program), even a mic like this one can sound tolerable enough for Youtube.

If you can afford $20, this CAD U1 is actually a fantastic mic for the money.

If you can afford $40, I'd strongly recommend the CAD U37, which is the mic I used personally until I hit about 50,000 subscribers.

There are plenty of options out there even for an extremely tight budget, but you're going to need something in today's day and age.

Blue Yeti/Blue Snowball/AT2020

However, if it needs to be approved by your boss, this may be more feasible: https://www.amazon.com/Samson-Mic-Portable-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B001R76D42/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486379333&sr=8-1&keywords=samson+mic

Hey there! I don't know much at all about hand-helds, I can only reccommend what I know and use.

I most recently use the Logitech C920 for my videos. I'm assuming that if you're filming reviews in front of your computer, that portability is not an issue?

And because of the terrible webcam audio that seems to plague all webcams, the Blue Snowball is a terrific, budget starter mic to give you some great sound at a terrific price.

Both are USB, the Snowball is plug and play, but the camera comes with nifty mini recording package that you can install and start using right away to shoot video.

Well right now I'm doing Console games, I use the El Gato Capture HD (Which is awesome) and use the XO4 Headphones from Turtle beach. Just bought this mic http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QJREXM/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 so now I no longer have to use a shitty webcam mic.

I also made a little animation for my intro, but I'm thinking I have to change the channel art a bit.

I'm curious about keywording, I hear it's supah important, and want to be able to reach the largest amount of people possible with it.

It's not difficult to produce videos yourself. If you can make it look decent, for YouTube, content is most important.

If you have $200, you can get a basic setup.

Just my suggestions, there are many other choices, obviously:

(At least 2 lights)

The camcorder has a flip out screen so you can see yourself..I believe the HDMI connection will also allow you to display what's being recorded on a monitor or TV with HDMI inputs.

Yeah, I just got one of these, yet to try it out, but it feels to be built fairly well.

Oh, that's quality one, lol. I got one of those el cheapo 2.5" enclosures for doing an OS swap when upgrading the old laptop to an SSD. I also have a Mediasonic Probox waiting for me to set up.

Buy a green screen like this one about $60 and a cheap webcam for $50 and for lighting $60

Use a capture device for capturing something like a game console. I use a StarTech capture device with my Wii U.

For PC, I use Open Broadcaster. It can be used for recording to your computer and for live streaming.

This recording is included in the incredibly wonderful Kerouac collection by Rhino, which, if you're a Kerouac fan, you owe it to yourself to get. After hearing his voice read the text, it forever changed the way I "heard" the writing in my head as I read Kerouac. And now, (one of) my favorite Kerouac quotes from my sullen teen years:
>"no more
dissipation, it's time for me to quietly watch the world and even enjoy it,
first in woods like these, then just calmly walk and talk among people of
the world, no booze, no drugs, no binges, no bouts with beatniks and drunks
and junkies and everybody, no more I ask myself the question O why is God
torturing me, that's it, be a loner, travel, talk to waiters only, in fact,
in Milan, Paris, just talk to waiters, walk around, no more self-imposed
agony... it's time to think and watch and keep concentrated on the fact that
after all this whole surface of the world as we know it now will be covered
with the silt of a billion years in time.. . Yay, for this, more aloneness"

What about the CAD U1 $24 on Amazon

Solid camera, on sale.

Might want a tripod

There's a cheap cable you can get from radioshack that converts a single microphone slot to two. It degrades sound slightly, but you can use whatever you want with it.

I'll look for it and when I find it I will post a link.

---

EDIT: If you are looking at trying to set up two pairs of headphones, use my advice. That is what it is for.

Also, I had troubble with radioshack's website, but they are called something allong the lines of Male to 2 female headphone cables.

I think I found it on amazon for $5.09 (excluding shiping), but it might not be the right one: link.

What's your budget?
Logitech C920 is kind of the industry standard.

Look into these. They allow you to use your wall socket as a LAN port. It's what I've used to bypass the fact that I have no LAN port in my room and it works a charm.

If none of this works, it may be a problem with your wi-fi card. Check the connection with another computer. If it's a problem with the first PC, you can simply buy a wi-fi USB dongle to plug in and use as a replacement wi-fi card.
