Why is it good to have a backup microphone or two?

You've probably nocticed, that I have multiple microphones set up.

The reason is, that sometimes microphones stop working,
even at the middle of a live-stream.

Which is why I have at least 2 other microphones I can switch to anytime.

What microphone(s) are you using in your setup?
Let me know in the comments below.

5-Minute Car Video Studio Setup
Here's a quick video studio setup in my car to film videos for my online course, Facebook and YouTube.

I'm using a DSLR and Camlink to turn my camera into a video source.
The microphone I'm using is the built-in one in my Macbook Pro M1 16inch.
And my iPad as a digital whiteboard.

Quick update on what I've improved in my studio

Since the last time I went live, I've added a few things to my online course creator studio, so that I can work more efficiently.

Here are some of the gadgets:

Blackmagic ATEM Mini
So that I can get better greenscreen quality.
And add a windows PC to my ECAMM Live Stream

Mini Teleprompter that attaches on my camera lens.
This is best for saving space and not having a gigantic teleprompter on my desk.

And a few more things mentioned in the video.

We**am comparison between the Elagato FaceCam and the Logitech c920 We**am.

Which one is better?

Both We**ams have FullHD and free software to change the settings.

But the video quality is a bit different on both camera.

Also, the FaceCam has no autofocus, which Elagot actually listed as a feature.

The colors are so differnt too.
In my opinion, the Logitech has the more natural colors of the two.

Hi, here's a quick video on the headset I use to edit my videos.

Having a headset that doesn't change the audio or boost the bass is very important for video editing.
That way you can hear exactly how your videos sound and make changes appropriately.

The headphones I use are the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro with 250 Ohms.

There are three versions of that headphone:
- The 32 Ohm version is best for mobile phones.
- The 80 Ohm version is best for everyday use (I used to have that one)
- And the 250 Ohm version is best for studio recordings and editing.

By the way, if you were thinking about joining my bigger course CCSM,
but couldn't afford it yet, I'm launching a smaller course very soon at a cheaper price point.

In the smaller course, Super Simple Studio Setup, you'll discover exactly what gear to buy for your studio and how to set everything up.

In this video, I'll be unboxing the Elgato Wave 1 Microphone. It's an awesome little mic that I bought to record videos for my online courses and for going live on Facebook when I need to build a video studio on the road.

The Elgato Wave 1 is the little brother of the Elgato Wave 3, but just as good with no noticable difference in quality.

You can also mount the mic on a microphone arm like the Rode PSA1 or use the weighted, rubberized stand that comes with the mic.

Oh, and yes,
I do recommend that microphone!
