1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,160
one of the coolest parts of the new house is gonna be the five person land

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:10,160
gaming room here in the basement so that my kids and their friends

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,799
and me and my friends that i'll make some day can all game

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:19,520
together but when elgato reached out asking if they could sponsor a six

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:25,760
streaming setup i thought i mean heck why not make all of the stations

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:28,000
streaming ready so that is exactly what

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:33,760
we're gonna do this is the Linus homeland center streaming setup v1

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:39,800
concept edition which means could be subject to change but it should be an

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,800
excellent start

10
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:54,239
now obviously my house is still a construction zone so this video won't be

11
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:58,480
fully representative of the final setup but it should be pretty darn close other

12
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:02,079
than you know the lifetime brand

13
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:07,040
folding tables here now before we even think about setting

14
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:11,360
up a microphone or a webcam or any of the fun stuff we need a computer to run

15
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:16,000
it all in the long term the plan is going to be to virtualize all of these

16
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:20,960
stations off of a single server in my mechanical room so the conduit is going

17
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:26,240
to be accessible here so it'll run under all of these desks we probably won't be

18
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:31,680
able to do sit stand desks for that reason but that's kind of tbd now just

19
00:01:29,759 --> 00:01:35,600
in case we decide to do stand-alone machines in here we do still have the

20
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:41,759
room wired up for Ethernet but my preference is to have everything in the server for now

21
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:45,200
Corsair one hey there you go i mean the video is sponsored by elgato and Corsair

22
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:49,200
so it shouldn't be that much of a surprise so this one right here is the

23
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:55,439
a200 featuring a liquid-cooled verizon nine 5900x an rtx 3080 and a boatload of

24
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:59,200
storage and high-speed RAM it's small sleek and well-equipped for even the

25
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:05,119
most demanding games or streaming setups which is why i won't be using one in

26
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:10,080
fact i think the final config for each of these stations is going to be more

27
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:13,360
along the lines of eight virtualized AMD

28
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,840
epic cores and then maybe more like a 30

29
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:19,599
60 something like that monitor wise things are a bit more up in the air i

30
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:24,160
think 27 inches is the perfect size to have one two three four five and then

31
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,080
actually we're probably going to have a six station right here that's just

32
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:32,080
a network port so you could pull up a laptop or something like that make it a

33
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:36,720
nice even six but in terms of resolution i'm leaning

34
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:40,720
towards 1440p just because i think it's a great balance between the high refresh

35
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:45,519
rate gaming you get at 1080 and obviously the better image quality that

36
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:48,560
you get at 4k this particular model the

37
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:50,879
lg 27 gp850 has been a lightning rod for

38
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:55,280
controversy but the panel in it this nice fast response time ips is

39
00:02:53,760 --> 00:03:01,360
definitely something that i would want in here just like i would want this beautiful

40
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:06,239
desk pad from ltdstore.com now this isn't the best case scenario

41
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:11,360
for elgato's poor wave panels here this is an enormous room that is basically

42
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:15,280
nothing but flat concrete surfaces and we've only got six of them but we wanted

43
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:19,920
to show them to you guys because they will almost certainly be part of the

44
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:21,360
final deployment once you know there are

45
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:24,799
walls we'll probably put some on the ceilings as well because stopping those

46
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:29,599
reflections between the floor and the ceiling is one of the key ways to cut

47
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:33,360
down on audio reverb are these are these sufficiently mounted i can i can put

48
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,959
wave panels on them now sure

49
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:40,879
if you want to see a more practical and scientific demonstration of how well

50
00:03:38,799 --> 00:03:44,959
these work check out our video where we treated our workshop with them it's

51
00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:49,760
really impressive while Jake mounts the rest of the wave panels let's talk about

52
00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:55,439
the rest of the audio setup so i could have opted for the much less

53
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:57,840
expensive wave 3. but some of my

54
00:03:55,439 --> 00:04:02,319
experiences with usb all-in-one microphones have not been the best and

55
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:07,760
they don't give you the greatest amount of control over your setup so instead

56
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:12,159
we've gone for the wave xlr which has all the same integrated mixing controls

57
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:16,959
headphone output and all that good stuff except you can plug literally any xlr

58
00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:21,040
microphone you want into it so let's get this set up i've never used

59
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:24,720
this thing i think it looks pretty cool yeah

60
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:30,000
i mean one of the things that elgato does really well is that everything they

61
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:34,960
do is designed for streaming so a lot of the xlr interfaces out there for example

62
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:38,160
they're designed to lie flat right yeah but that's not what you want when you're

63
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:45,520
when you're gaming you want something that you can you can reach for more easily so this is knob feels good

64
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:49,199
got usbc there's your headphone jack and there's your xlr input

65
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,320
right around there is where i want that no i want it on the left side left side

66
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:57,199
and then i can have the stream deck on this side actually

67
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:00,720
no okay no so no i do want it the other way around because the stream deck i'm

68
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:05,759
gonna mess with more often and i'm more likely to want to take my hands off of

69
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:07,440
my mouse then oh right yes

70
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:11,680
yeah i want to be able to keep my hands on wasd so

71
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:15,759
yeah let's go xlr on this side wait how the hell are you going to put this one

72
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:20,720
on here screw on the side oh really as long as it holds itself up

73
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:26,720
right okay where's the mic ARM it seems pretty standard as far as mic arms go

74
00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:31,199
caution spring loaded don't get don't get bashed in the face you know

75
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:35,120
little things like that but there you go that guy just goes in there

76
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:40,320
we're just gonna try it this is terrible

77
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,600
i mean tell me how horrendous this is

78
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,960
you kind of nailed it yeah damn straight i did

79
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:53,520
i'll never call you a screw-up again oh

80
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:56,319
god what come on that's funny you've never called me screw it before but it's

81
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:01,120
a screw because you're putting a screw i probably called you a screw i figured out what all these pieces do

82
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,560
this is a riser so it can be like

83
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:09,120
up higher if you want there's a little hex lock i don't think we're gonna need

84
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:13,120
oh do you wanna know what that's for apparently people

85
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:17,199
install these behind their monitor and come over oh really yeah i don't know why you

86
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:22,479
would ever do that but um if you had a very like wide-ranging

87
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:25,440
microphone that could pick up really far then maybe yes

88
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,720
yeah that's not going to be what we're doing today and i'm probably going to

89
00:06:27,039 --> 00:06:33,199
need the counterweight because for our microphone we've settled on an sm48 from

90
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,759
sure check it he checked check it he checked check it does actually sound a tiny bit

91
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:42,479
less bad i think yeah it's just that most of the

92
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:46,639
echo in here is off this concrete floor and those flat walls back there

93
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:50,800
that shouldn't be too much of a problem for us though the sm48 from sure is a

94
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:55,039
dynamic microphone with a cardioid pickup pattern that means it should

95
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:58,720
reject most off-axis noise and pick up your voice nice and clear let's get this

96
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:03,840
cable managed and then we'll give you guys a quick demo this is not a perfect

97
00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:08,400
solution oh lordy oh god don't do that no

98
00:07:07,039 --> 00:07:13,120
i don't want to have to take this down like that later see but look look it'll

99
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:17,840
stay out of the oh stay out of the way oh did you oh yeah well you're you're

100
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,840
doing it now

101
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,800
there we go normally on an xlr interface you would

102
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:27,759
want to plug your headphones for monitoring yourself directly into the

103
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:32,800
interface so you have zero latency let's see how well elgato's software

104
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,680
ecosystem handles that all right we're firing up our game

105
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:38,960
stream here ladies and gentlemen going to play some duo actually we should just

106
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,840
move on to the next part of the video we're going to host and we can just do

107
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:48,400
it on here what's the next thing we're going to do lighting man this sounds great

108
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:50,960
also they have come a long way on their

109
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:55,840
software elgato this is handy the wavelink software has a quick link to

110
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:59,120
your advanced audio preferences so as soon as you launch your game you're

111
00:07:57,039 --> 00:08:03,840
going to want to set its output to elgato's game

112
00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:08,319
wavelink game here we go and then that way obs will be able to pick it up you

113
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:13,199
can access this through Windows just by right-clicking open sound

114
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:16,639
settings app volume whatever but it's a lot more clicks whereas it's just right

115
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:22,240
here they just have a shortcut to it that's kind of handy you want to see what's really cool if you set your game

116
00:08:19,599 --> 00:08:26,160
to wavelink game yeah you can then have it come up as a track in here and then

117
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:29,120
you can create separate mixes for your monitor mix and your streaming so if you

118
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:33,599
want to listen to copyrighted music in your headphones while you're streaming but want your stream to hear monstercat

119
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:37,279
or whatever you can give them two different audio tracks and it's all done

120
00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:41,039
in wavelink you don't need like virtual audio cable or any stupid crap like that

121
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:44,800
that's pretty cool most streamers like to have a face cam

122
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:49,519
of some sort so that is where the aptly named

123
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:51,839
elgato face cam comes in now

124
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:56,720
at home i actually use a different setup i've got an elgato cam link 4k usb stick

125
00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:00,160
and i've used that to connect to a canon dslr camera it works

126
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:05,760
great but it is large it's more complex to set

127
00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:10,399
up and troubleshoot if it has issues and that is even before you consider how

128
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:15,600
expensive it would be to kit out a dslr or a mirrorless camera for every station

129
00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:20,320
in the room so that's where

130
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:24,240
a more reasonable setup like a webcam comes into play on the outside this

131
00:09:22,959 --> 00:09:31,519
thing is pretty minimalistic looking it's you got your

132
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:34,240
lens your detachable long USB-C to a

133
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:38,880
cable a small status led over on the left of the lens and an included monitor

134
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:42,880
mount on the inside is where things get a little bit more fun elgato designed

135
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:46,560
their own eight element all glass lens which is paired with a sony starvis simo

136
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:51,920
sensor that's designed to provide excellent clarity with minimal noise up

137
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:54,000
to 1080p 60fps they also included a bit

138
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:58,399
of storage on the camera itself so that any settings changes that you make

139
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:01,600
follow the camera not the computer one cool feature or rather lack thereof is

140
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:06,000
that the facecam doesn't have a microphone and it prevents you from

141
00:10:03,839 --> 00:10:10,480
getting pop-ups and notifications anytime say for example you unplug or

142
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,279
plug something in and discord's like hey do you want to switch to a new audio

143
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:16,640
device it's so freaking annoying how does it not have a never ask me again i

144
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:20,320
think there is a never asked me i think there is i don't think it works

145
00:10:18,959 --> 00:10:26,320
anyway we're not going to be using the built-in monitor mount because we are going with

146
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:32,000
the elgato ring light now at home i actually prefer my pair of key light

147
00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:35,839
airs these are basically the same product they're just little square

148
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:38,880
panels instead of a big ring shaped one so you've got the same adjustable color

149
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:42,959
temperature the same adjustable brightness and everything can be done

150
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:48,640
through software the big difference is that with my giant 48 inch display i can

151
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:51,680
put them out on the sides and then i can decide do i want like kind of a more

152
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:56,240
dramatic look so i have a little bit less lighting on this side a little bit more on that side whereas with the ring

153
00:10:54,800 --> 00:11:00,959
light what you're getting is what ring lights are good for which is nice even

154
00:10:58,079 --> 00:11:05,200
illumination clock's ticking gotta shoot the video

155
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:11,440
no i i really like their mount it's super easy to use yeah i think luke had

156
00:11:10,079 --> 00:11:16,640
trouble with it but you know whatever yeah just loop things i know this video is

157
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:21,760
sponsored by elgato but i really do need to complain about one small thing like

158
00:11:18,959 --> 00:11:25,519
this is this is the longest power brick what are you compensating for

159
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:31,200
i can how am i supposed to plug this in

160
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:33,680
takes up an entire power strip

161
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:36,240
hold on i think i think i managed to jam it in there

162
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:40,480
uh hello hey there we go i can't believe we made

163
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:44,560
it this far without setting up a stream deck if you're not familiar with these

164
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:49,279
come on guys this one specifically is elgato's stream deck mk2 which features

165
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:54,320
type c interchangeable faceplates as well as a detachable 45 degree fixed

166
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:56,399
angle stand but each of the 15 keys is

167
00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:00,480
an individual display so you can have whatever icon you want

168
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:04,959
their full color and you can configure them to do anything from button presses

169
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:08,720
to macros to starting and stopping your stream now

170
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:12,160
the light is connected to wi-fi we can adjust our color temperature to be

171
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:16,160
warmer cooler we can adjust our brightness whoa

172
00:12:14,639 --> 00:12:21,519
that's that's pretty bright boys 5600 sorry about that

173
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:25,440
okay what do you want you want 5600 yeah all right there we go and then it's

174
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:29,920
probably a little bit on the right side right now let's at least get a couple of

175
00:12:27,839 --> 00:12:34,320
things uh configured on our stream deck here all right let's go ahead and i mean

176
00:12:32,079 --> 00:12:37,839
i don't know this one can be record boop basically

177
00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:43,680
uh instantaneous know scene i have a gift

178
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:47,200
oh you have such a terrible ugly background

179
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:50,639
that's true i do let's fix that this is elgato's green screen they actually have

180
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,839
two models this is the floor standing one they also have one you can hang from

181
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:57,519
the ceiling that's a bit bigger but for our purposes

182
00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:01,920
this is just fine all you gotta do is open the locks

183
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,920
grab this bad

184
00:13:04,839 --> 00:13:12,240
boy and you have a green screen i think the manual probably says

185
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,240
adjust the feet first

186
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,639
before you open it but there it is

187
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:22,480
i do that again the subject

188
00:13:21,279 --> 00:13:27,440
you can play around these settings in here you can say how similar the color needs to be

189
00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:30,639
there you go so here we filter out basically anything that has any color

190
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:34,240
other than red uh here we're basically not filtering

191
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:38,399
out anything so you just want to find that

192
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:42,880
right about there gives us a nice uniform

193
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:45,920
uh gray on our green screen that's what we're looking for

194
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:49,199
is that it i noticed we had some other stuff over there yeah they've got the

195
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:53,120
pop filter which we don't need because of our mic choice uh capture card in

196
00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:57,760
case you've got like a you know next-gen console you want to stream your 4k

197
00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:57,760
gameplay or whatever else

198
00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:04,560
shock mount we didn't end up using the wave 3 so we don't need that light

199
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:08,240
strips we got the green screen so we don't really need that

200
00:14:06,399 --> 00:14:12,000
okay we're gonna play we're gonna play some competitive cs go here ladies and

201
00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:17,279
gentlemen we're getting competitive today now that we have cs go configured

202
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:19,199
to use our wavelink game output we don't

203
00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:22,800
actually have to have our desktop audio play a role in obs at all everything

204
00:14:21,279 --> 00:14:25,680
just goes out into the stream mix which we control through the wavelink app so

205
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:30,399
you're going to see when i highlight this window

206
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:34,320
our in-game music shows up here that's a little loud both in my headphones and in

207
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,600
the stream so we're gonna turn that down a little bit have a look at our levels

208
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:45,279
that's about where i like to have my background music going like somewhere in the minus 30 minus 25 range so that's

209
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:49,440
pretty good now if i was actually playing competitively i would restart it

210
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:53,360
because counter strike does not like being changed from windowed to exclusive

211
00:14:51,839 --> 00:14:58,399
full screen but i i suck anyway so all right

212
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:03,279
official matchmaking oh god really oh god i'm gonna die i'm gonna die Jake i'm

213
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:06,639
gonna die um oh god they're gonna come through

214
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:11,519

215
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:16,560
guy's telling me to go back i disagree this is the worst live stream

216
00:15:13,199 --> 00:15:16,560
officially pro gamer Jake

217
00:15:16,639 --> 00:15:21,519
where are you at oh come on

218
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:25,600
wow i helped i helped i did 21 damage to him

219
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:30,399
all right let's make sure this recording is actually good hey this is awesome

220
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:34,880
yeah you look great look at your i know it's clean you should get a you

221
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:40,079
should get a green screen that looks so pro i probably i probably should it does

222
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:44,079
look so pro like look at that and then look at the room we're in right now i

223
00:15:41,839 --> 00:15:47,680
know right you would have no way of knowing it looks legit okay let's try

224
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:54,720
and get one more kill i want one more kill oh oh the buy period has expired okay

225
00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:58,399
that's a problem it's slightly mildly problematic

226
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,880
yeah yep come on

227
00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:08,959
well all right didn't even manage to hit him

228
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:12,480
man it's amazing how much this stuff has improved back when we set up our

229
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:16,160
original green screen for techwiki in the old house we spent a hundred dollars

230
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,440
on just the material and then we had to

231
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:25,440
like jury rig our own like hanger for it that took a lot of

232
00:16:23,759 --> 00:16:29,839
time and probably end up costing more than this obviously this is a little bit

233
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:33,759
smaller this is really designed for a game streaming setup as opposed to a

234
00:16:32,079 --> 00:16:37,600
full host with you know full arms reaching out and stuff like that but

235
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:41,759
they have a bigger one that's super reasonable actually all things

236
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:47,279
considered yes you too can look and sound that pro even in a horrible

237
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:51,920
environment that is not conducive to streaming and it's that simple all you

238
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,639
have to do is spend a bunch of money obviously we're going to have everything

239
00:16:53,199 --> 00:16:59,920
linked down below thanks purcell for sponsoring this video or elgato i guess

240
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:02,880
