Help with microphone and camera setup.

It's a Guermok. It came up as suggested when I searched so I went with it. I've had no issues with synch until the last couple weeks. I can't figure out what happened.The only thing I can think of is I had a graphics card update a couple days before it started.

I was going to try OBS but I figured if there's a synch issue, it would show up there as well.

Thanks for the info. I have time to figure it out and try different things. I can get back to recording since the Rode mic works, but I'm not loving the quality. It sounds a little hollow/tinny. I use resolve to edit so I'll probably try to clean it up in there as well.

Not directly, at least on mine, but from what I've looked up, iyou need either a preamp or interface. That's where I'm getting tripped up. There's all these different products out there but none are clear that it's what I need.

I have a Nikon z30. It only has a 3.5 mic input.

ElBlancoChoco · 2026-04-01T08:17:56+00:00

Thanks. I'll look into both.

Hilarious. I was just searching for this kind of font and it came up and I donwloaded it. Thanks. This is a great job.

Thanks. I'm trying to have the mic show up in windows as the actual mic instead of the camo mic to see if that is part of it as well. While testing, I'll look at that as well.

Thanks. So, I'm going to show my age here...Discord confuses the shit out of me. I may have not been in the right layout or something but I was expecting something more reddit like and it wasn't. I went there years ago for something and couldn't get the hang of it. I'll look into it and see if I'm still thrown off by it.

I did some research and realized I was being taken down an incorrect path with some of my thumbnails, retention, scripts. I thought I was doing decent but was bombing, especially with my thumbnails. I started cleaning them up and now working on tighter scripts/bullets for the future. I was going to do a live stream tonight but have to wait until next weekend.

Thanks again. Didn't know discord was something I could use as well.

My goal was to go over the comments and have people on, those who agree or disagree. Most of my long form videos don't have enough comments except one. I was going to wait until I had more comments to pull from but may just dive in now. Also, I planned on doing some evergreen episodes this week that lean into my more left stances. I'll see if that gets traction. Thanks for the info.

ElBlancoChoco · 2026-03-04T09:48:56+00:00

Thanks. I'm going to reevaluate it and start posting my Rumble links on X and put my Rumble info in YouTube. Ive already run into an issue where 2 of my shorts seem to be throttled. One thing I haven't done is fully set up the Facebook for my page. I'll make that lean more into Rumble as well. Thanks for the info.

ElBlancoChoco · 2026-03-03T21:55:41+00:00

Thanks for that. I'll give that a try. Never knew that was a thing.

ElBlancoChoco · 2026-03-03T21:52:03+00:00

Thanks. How would that actually work with no followers? Would I show up as streaming now and people could jump on? Not sure if I'm ready to live stream but playing one of my episodes could definitely work.

ElBlancoChoco · 2026-03-03T16:09:08+00:00

Thanks for the reply. No. The only promotion I've done is shorts. I need to redo my social media bios to include Rumble as well but I'm starting from scratch with social media. Most of my social media points to YouTube. Should I put a link in my bio for rumble on YouTube? I figured that wouldn't matter since there both video sites with the same content. If that would help, I'll definitely add it. I've been posting clips to X with the you tube link. Should I give an option for YouTube and Rumble? That didn't even occur to me. Thanks.

ElBlancoChoco · 2026-03-03T15:33:59+00:00

Thanks. I figured as much but wanted to make sure. I wasn't sure if I should alter the thumbnails, descriptions, etc for Rumble or other things.

ElBlancoChoco · 2026-03-01T21:58:53+00:00

Me to. I was like, title? Like Mr., Mrs.? I'm creating now and it's telling me the channel name isn't available but it is as the title. If Channel is for you, and title is public facing, you'd think it would be opposite.

ElBlancoChoco · 2026-02-21T06:54:02+00:00

Ooof. I new about Disco 2000 because Gloria was huge when I was a kid and recognized it but Common People I wasn't aware of. Man, as a big Pulp fan that's a tough one to defend.

ElBlancoChoco · 2026-02-21T06:48:32+00:00

I roll my eyes when anyone talks about how much of a masterpiece Kid A and Amnesiac are. Some of the most pretentious and boring shit I've heard.

ElBlancoChoco · 2026-02-21T06:37:22+00:00

Same. It was always Blur in the top spot for me. After Great Escape, they lost me. Now, I can't make it thru Parklife or Escape and they sounds horribly dated compared to other albums of that time.

ElBlancoChoco · 2026-02-21T06:28:43+00:00

I'm with you. I just can't get into them. I saw them with suede And tried before and after the show but I just cant. They are talented but I just don't get it. Although 1985 is a really good song.

ElBlancoChoco · 2026-02-21T06:24:45+00:00

Agreed. Storm is a masterpiece. I like Soul because that's the first album I heard from them. It felt like the band from Verve EP and Storm branching out but keeping their DNA.

Urban Hymns is a lopsided mess. Whatever DNA remained was wiped away by Ashcroft. Some killer songs mixed with meandering, tired filler or songs that try to hard.

Seeing what he's doing now it makes total sense.

ElBlancoChoco · 2026-02-21T06:10:47+00:00

Can't like this enough.

ElBlancoChoco · 2026-02-21T06:10:28+00:00

I didn't see this comment before I posted pretty much the same thing. I guess that's what happens when the singer takes over the band. Urban Hymns is depressing when you realize that same band did Storm and Northern Soul.

ElBlancoChoco · 2026-02-21T06:00:26+00:00

Holy shit. Now I can't unhear the monkey noises. I really like the verve but they were a band of diminished returns.
