The only problem with my tune with @AdventureDub 'Goddess' is that when I'm in front of a thousand or so people singing 'I'm a Goddess' it feels pretty clear that I am in fact not a Goddess

🎙️ One of the most common streamer questions I see is:
"USB vs. XLR Microphone?"
The answer depends less on which mic is "better" and more on your setup and environment.
🎤 USB Condenser (i.e: Wave:3)
• Plug-and-play via USB
• Captures a lot of detail and vocal clarity.
• Great for creators who want an all-in-one solution
• Works well in quieter or treated rooms.
• Includes Wave Link for powerful audio routing and mixing.
🎙️ XLR Dynamic (i.e: Wave DX)
• Requires an XLR interface (like the new Wave XLR Pro).
• Rejects more background noise than a condenser microphone.
• Excels in untreated rooms with keyboard clicks, fans, or other ambient noise.
• Produces the close, broadcast-style sound many streamers and podcasters aim for.
So... which one should you choose?
✅ Choose Wave:3 if you:
• Want the simplest setup.
• Are new to streaming.
• Stream in a relatively quiet space.
• Want great audio with minimal equipment.
✅ Choose Wave DX + Wave XLR Pro if you:
• Want room to grow your setup.
• Stream in a noisy environment.
• Prefer a broadcast-style sound.
• Want the flexibility of a professional XLR workflow.
One thing I always say: A better microphone won't help if you don't know what you're doing.
Keep the mic close to your mouth, speak across the front of it, monitor your audio levels, and spend time learning EQ, compression, and noise suppression. Good audio comes from both your equipment and how you use it.
Would you all like a video on the Elgato Wave Link software on how to set these up?

I've had close to 100 sponsorships over my 6 years as a content creator.
Out of all of them, only 3 companies reached out to me first. The rest I pitched myself.
Tagging brands on social media is NOT how you land partnerships. If you want to work with companies, you need to:
• Email an actual person
• Pitch your niche with real data and proof
• Provide examples of past work
• Use a media kit, but come with an action plan too
• Research the company beforehand
• Never be the first to give your rate
• Show what you can offer beyond a simple unboxing video
Remember: if a company is sending you a product or paying your monthly rate, they need to see a return on that investment. Your content should drive clicks, sales, awareness, or engagement.
At the end of the day, they're running a business.
Show them that you're running yours, too. Hope this helps!

🎤 Microphone Basics for Streamers 🎤
condenser vs. dynamic and omnidirectional vs. unidirectional
• Condenser microphones are typically more sensitive and capture a lot of detail, including room noise, keyboard clicks, reverb, and other sounds around you. That's why untreated rooms can sound "echoey" on stream.
• Dynamic microphones are generally less sensitive to background noise and are preferred by many streamers and podcasters because they focus more on the voice and give that rich, close-up "broadcast" voice.
• Omnidirectional = picks up sound from all directions.
• Cardioid (unidirectional) = primarily picks up what's in front of the mic and rejects more noise from the sides and back.
For creators who move around a lot, a condenser mic can sometimes be more practical, while seated streamers often benefit from a dynamic mic placed close to their mouth.
Can software fix everything? Not quite.
Tools like:
✅ EQ
✅ Compression
✅ Limiters
✅ Noise suppression
✅ Noise gates
can reduce background noise, prevent clipping when you get loud, and improve overall clarity, but they can't completely change the fundamental character of the microphone itself.
Also: PLEASE test your audio offline!
You can:
1. Record locally in OBS.
2. Stream to a private/test account.
3. Learn to read your audio meters.
Good audio is about about understanding how your equipment works and setting it up correctly. 🎙️✨ And remember, don't take advice from a streamer, go do research from an actual audio engineer!
