WEBVTT 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:07.000 so it's no secret we have some uh 00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:09.719 stability problems around here hey I'm 00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:16.000 talking about the W Show streaming computer what are you implying anyway 00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:20.400 it's Friday which means of course that today is the perfect day to follow 00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:25.480 through on my commitment to Corsair they called me up they were like we love the 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 00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:34.680 problems the audio sucks the video cuts out and the system is unstable what are 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 00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:47.840 today we are rebuilding the W show PC we are redoing the streaming setup and it 00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:53.760 is all courtesy of our friends at 00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:53.760 Corsair the W show now with 300% more 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.920 RGB 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:09.119 so the first step in any disassembly project and my parents would do well to 00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:13.000 remember this is to take pictures of everything involved so you have 00:01:10.600 --> 00:01:17.920 something to refer back to when it's time to put it all back together though 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:22.439 with all the cables that straight up weren't even connected to anything from 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:30.159 troubleshooting stream issues over the last couple of years I'm not even sure 00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:33.880 how helpful they'll be some of the old n 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:38.119 PC's Hardware will be reused the x99 00:01:33.880 --> 00:01:40.560 deluxe motherboard and 6 core 5930k CPU 00:01:38.119 --> 00:01:45.360 got a dust off because they were already added a couple of months back to address 00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:50.159 stability performance and resource allocation issues but pretty much 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 00:01:53.320 --> 00:02:01.000 white an NVMe sp500 SSD a tempered glass 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 00:02:04.360 --> 00:02:12.080 an RM 1000x power supply even more RGB 00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:15.040 now with the fans Corsair sent us extra 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:22.680 for the aiio water cooler and the rear slot and some orange sleeved cables to 00:02:18.519 --> 00:02:25.200 manage along with all the other cables 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:30.840 man cable management is tough in an all glass case and I don't make matters 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 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:40.440 finished product IMO is totally worth 00:02:37.519 --> 00:02:45.879 the effort this thing looks badass next up it's time to tear the 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:52.800 rest of the stuff on the desk apart for some good oldfashioned Cable Management 00:02:48.920 --> 00:02:55.959 there is a lot of wasted space here and 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:57.239 holy crap is this table ever dirty I 00:02:55.959 --> 00:03:03.560 don't think it's been clean since we moved and neither have the multiple bins 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:09.000 under the desk that make up what I call the streaming gear graveyard in here 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:16.799 you'll find everything that stopped working for us at some point or 00:03:12.959 --> 00:03:19.720 another reassembly time now I'm going to 00:03:16.799 --> 00:03:26.000 put all the wicked stuff that Focus right hooked us up with into the Retro 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:29.120 server cabinet I made a video about here 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:31.799 these guys are awesome they flew all the 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 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 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:49.760 of pickup patterns including cardioid and super cardioid it sounds awesome but 00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:56.360 could be improved by some acoustic baffles in front of the table stay tuned 00:03:52.519 --> 00:03:58.840 our Soundcraft mixer mainly serves as 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 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:10.760 this allows us to use Hardware rather than software to adjust audio levels EQ 00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:18.919 controls and to send auxiliary outputs with a different mix our dbx 166 XS 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:22.120 compressor is back we actually bought 00:04:18.919 --> 00:04:24.360 this ages ago because theoretically it 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 00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:31.759 when I'm ranting unfortunately we and 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 00:04:34.440 --> 00:04:42.840 Focus right Z 18i 20 comes in we could 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:45.320 use it to accept up to 20 inputs with an 00:04:42.840 --> 00:04:49.400 optical expander we could do our headphone monitoring off of it instead 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 00:04:51.960 --> 00:04:58.960 just concerned with the quality of the audio capture in this case and focus 00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:01.639 rights claim to fame is their awesome preamps 00:05:00.400 --> 00:05:08.080 is it Overkill yes and so is the 6 I6 that 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:13.840 we're using purely as a digital input for an additional laptop on the table 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 00:05:15.840 --> 00:05:22.840 audio levels to ensure that no other parts of the audio chain need to be 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:28.520 adjusted in the event that we change our microphone pickup pattern placement or 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:30.840 even our microphone all together so next 00:05:28.520 --> 00:05:34.680 up is moving the computer into place and upgrading the 00:05:32.080 --> 00:05:39.120 peripherals okay arguably the peripherals are a bit of a side grade 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 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:48.160 space for laptops and stuff loving it so 00:05:44.840 --> 00:05:50.360 far time then for some cable management 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:55.800 this dudad from the manly guide to cable management is awesome and so are the 3D 00:05:53.600 --> 00:06:00.880 printed velcro tie anchors that Jake whipped up on our ultimaker 2 another 00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:07.560 big improve Improvement is that now both of our hosts get HDMI cables for their 00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:11.120 laptops we're running these and our 00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:13.160 camera into new capture cards from epan 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:17.919 I can't say enough good things about these we've actually been using them for 00:06:15.479 --> 00:06:22.199 a couple months for the W show as well and for screen capture around the office 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:27.000 and they're responsible for some very significant improvements in our 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:30.039 production values they just make it so 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:32.199 easy to capture at any resolution 00:06:30.039 --> 00:06:38.039 without tinkering and did I mention they're Canadian flipping awesome the 00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:42.440 capture cards are USB so we needed to add another USB card to the system to 00:06:40.440 --> 00:06:48.160 avoid resource conflicts with three of them attached but once we figured that 00:06:44.440 --> 00:06:50.680 out it was smooth sailing and I really 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:56.560 have nothing else to say about them time to power things up then I asked cable 00:06:53.440 --> 00:06:59.680 mod for five power cables some 00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:03.720 combination of orange black and carbon 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:07.120 they sent five each of multiple styles 00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:10.319 of sleeving of each color holy crap you 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:12.400 guys anyway at least they look great 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 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:22.240 left over in a corner somewhere so time to hook back up and 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 00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:37.360 setup Hallelujah the wo computer is on we are 00:07:32.599 --> 00:07:39.960 ready to tour the finished wo set so 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 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:50.639 TPL link um Wi-Fi smart plug things 00:07:47.479 --> 00:07:51.960 basically we just use an app when this 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 00:07:54.520 --> 00:08:02.039 button and boom when show lighting turns on Improvement number two 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:07.919 we won't trip over this while we're running around getting ready for w show 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:11.800 Improvement number three dramatically 00:08:07.919 --> 00:08:14.280 better Cable Management now instead of 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 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 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:27.919 computer our laptops we've got HDMI 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:30.319 cables for our laptops we've got uh oh 00:08:27.919 --> 00:08:34.959 yes all of the audio gear off the table replaced by a power Distribution Hub 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:42.120 thing here which is awesome all our audio gear is in this badass retro 00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:45.440 server cabinet thing and our when PC is 00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:47.360 of course heavily upgraded to be much 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:54.399 more reliable and much sexier all at the same 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:58.200 time so I guess I better get this show on the 00:08:56.760 --> 00:09:01.200 road then shall I 00:09:11.079 --> 00:09:17.120 so thanks for watching guys
