1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:07,000 so it's no secret we have some uh 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:09,719 stability problems around here hey I'm 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:16,000 talking about the W Show streaming computer what are you implying anyway 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:20,400 it's Friday which means of course that today is the perfect day to follow 5 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:25,480 through on my commitment to Corsair they called me up they were like we love the 6 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:30,400 W show we think it's the greatest show the best except that it has a few small 7 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:34,680 problems the audio sucks the video cuts out and the system is unstable what are 8 00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:42,280 you going to do about it they said look we will sponsor you to fix the W show so 9 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:47,840 today we are rebuilding the W show PC we are redoing the streaming setup and it 10 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:53,760 is all courtesy of our friends at 11 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:53,760 Corsair the W show now with 300% more 12 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,920 RGB 13 00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:09,119 so the first step in any disassembly project and my parents would do well to 14 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:13,000 remember this is to take pictures of everything involved so you have 15 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:17,920 something to refer back to when it's time to put it all back together though 16 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:22,439 with all the cables that straight up weren't even connected to anything from 17 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:30,159 troubleshooting stream issues over the last couple of years I'm not even sure 18 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:33,880 how helpful they'll be some of the old n 19 00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:38,119 PC's Hardware will be reused the x99 20 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:40,560 deluxe motherboard and 6 core 5930k CPU 21 00:01:38,119 --> 00:01:45,360 got a dust off because they were already added a couple of months back to address 22 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:50,159 stability performance and resource allocation issues but pretty much 23 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:58,200 everything else is going to go we've got 64 gigs of Corsair Vengeance LED RAM in 24 00:01:53,320 --> 00:02:01,000 white an NVMe sp500 SSD a tempered glass 25 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:08,959 case with RGB lighting I mean come at this 2017 what else was I going to use 26 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:12,080 an RM 1000x power supply even more RGB 27 00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:15,040 now with the fans Corsair sent us extra 28 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:22,680 for the aiio water cooler and the rear slot and some orange sleeved cables to 29 00:02:18,519 --> 00:02:25,200 manage along with all the other cables 30 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:30,840 man cable management is tough in an all glass case and I don't make matters 31 00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:37,519 easier for myself when I put in in the wrong order the good news is that the 32 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:40,440 finished product IMO is totally worth 33 00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:45,879 the effort this thing looks badass next up it's time to tear the 34 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:52,800 rest of the stuff on the desk apart for some good oldfashioned Cable Management 35 00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:55,959 there is a lot of wasted space here and 36 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,239 holy crap is this table ever dirty I 37 00:02:55,959 --> 00:03:03,560 don't think it's been clean since we moved and neither have the multiple bins 38 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:09,000 under the desk that make up what I call the streaming gear graveyard in here 39 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:16,799 you'll find everything that stopped working for us at some point or 40 00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:19,720 another reassembly time now I'm going to 41 00:03:16,799 --> 00:03:26,000 put all the wicked stuff that Focus right hooked us up with into the Retro 42 00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:29,120 server cabinet I made a video about here 43 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,799 these guys are awesome they flew all the 44 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:38,519 way out here to not just set us up with gear but to actually set it up with us 45 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:44,519 it starts with a solid new microphone an se4400a on a road ARM it's got a handful 46 00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:49,760 of pickup patterns including cardioid and super cardioid it sounds awesome but 47 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:56,360 could be improved by some acoustic baffles in front of the table stay tuned 48 00:03:52,519 --> 00:03:58,840 our Soundcraft mixer mainly serves as 49 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:04,640 well a mixing board so the main feature is just Lots of places to plug stuff in 50 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:10,760 this allows us to use Hardware rather than software to adjust audio levels EQ 51 00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:18,919 controls and to send auxiliary outputs with a different mix our dbx 166 XS 52 00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:22,120 compressor is back we actually bought 53 00:04:18,919 --> 00:04:24,360 this ages ago because theoretically it 54 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:30,199 would make it so Luke doesn't sound so quiet all the time and I'm not clipping 55 00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:31,759 when I'm ranting unfortunately we and 56 00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:39,560 didn't have a preamp for it that's why it never worked which is exactly where 57 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:42,840 Focus right Z 18i 20 comes in we could 58 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:45,320 use it to accept up to 20 inputs with an 59 00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:49,400 optical expander we could do our headphone monitoring off of it instead 60 00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:53,960 of the dedicated headphone app that Focus R set us up with as well but we're 61 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:58,960 just concerned with the quality of the audio capture in this case and focus 62 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,639 rights claim to fame is their awesome preamps 63 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:08,080 is it Overkill yes and so is the 6 I6 that 64 00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:13,840 we're using purely as a digital input for an additional laptop on the table 65 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:18,199 but hey come on this is lineus Tech tips we're also going to use it to monitor 66 00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:22,840 audio levels to ensure that no other parts of the audio chain need to be 67 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:28,520 adjusted in the event that we change our microphone pickup pattern placement or 68 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,840 even our microphone all together so next 69 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:34,680 up is moving the computer into place and upgrading the 70 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:39,120 peripherals okay arguably the peripherals are a bit of a side grade 71 00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:44,840 but going from a full size to a 10 keyless keyboard gives me a lot of extra 72 00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:48,160 space for laptops and stuff loving it so 73 00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:50,360 far time then for some cable management 74 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:55,800 this dudad from the manly guide to cable management is awesome and so are the 3D 75 00:05:53,600 --> 00:06:00,880 printed velcro tie anchors that Jake whipped up on our ultimaker 2 another 76 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:07,560 big improve Improvement is that now both of our hosts get HDMI cables for their 77 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:11,120 laptops we're running these and our 78 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:13,160 camera into new capture cards from epan 79 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:17,919 I can't say enough good things about these we've actually been using them for 80 00:06:15,479 --> 00:06:22,199 a couple months for the W show as well and for screen capture around the office 81 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:27,000 and they're responsible for some very significant improvements in our 82 00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:30,039 production values they just make it so 83 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,199 easy to capture at any resolution 84 00:06:30,039 --> 00:06:38,039 without tinkering and did I mention they're Canadian flipping awesome the 85 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:42,440 capture cards are USB so we needed to add another USB card to the system to 86 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:48,160 avoid resource conflicts with three of them attached but once we figured that 87 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:50,680 out it was smooth sailing and I really 88 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:56,560 have nothing else to say about them time to power things up then I asked cable 89 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:59,680 mod for five power cables some 90 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:03,720 combination of orange black and carbon 91 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:07,120 they sent five each of multiple styles 92 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:10,319 of sleeving of each color holy crap you 93 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,400 guys anyway at least they look great 94 00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:16,599 once they're in place and I will put the giant box of power cables that I have 95 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:22,240 left over in a corner somewhere so time to hook back up and 96 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:28,319 power up the audio gear and take you guys now on a grand tour of the finished 97 00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:37,360 setup Hallelujah the wo computer is on we are 98 00:07:32,599 --> 00:07:39,960 ready to tour the finished wo set so 99 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:47,479 Improvement number one to make it so the wow is more likely to be on time these 100 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:50,639 TPL link um Wi-Fi smart plug things 101 00:07:47,479 --> 00:07:51,960 basically we just use an app when this 102 00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:57,240 phone is dead but don't worry about it there's an app we use an app press a 103 00:07:54,520 --> 00:08:02,039 button and boom when show lighting turns on Improvement number two 104 00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:07,919 we won't trip over this while we're running around getting ready for w show 105 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:11,800 Improvement number three dramatically 106 00:08:07,919 --> 00:08:14,280 better Cable Management now instead of 107 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:19,720 having the entire desk full of the gear that we need to run W show it'll just be 108 00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:24,800 full of the gear that we need to host when show so we'll have our streaming 109 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:27,919 computer our laptops we've got HDMI 110 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:30,319 cables for our laptops we've got uh oh 111 00:08:27,919 --> 00:08:34,959 yes all of the audio gear off the table replaced by a power Distribution Hub 112 00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:42,120 thing here which is awesome all our audio gear is in this badass retro 113 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:45,440 server cabinet thing and our when PC is 114 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:47,360 of course heavily upgraded to be much 115 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:54,399 more reliable and much sexier all at the same 116 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:58,200 time so I guess I better get this show on the 117 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,200 road then shall I 118 00:09:11,079 --> 00:09:17,120 so thanks for watching guys dislike or like get subscribed check out
