 Last week, Mike gave you gaming tips and tricks and you guys asked for the specifics on how he records his gameplay. So today, Mike's here to give you the step-by-step walkthrough of the gameplay commentary creation process. So spit out your gum, turn off your cell phones, and listen up. What is up, everyone? My name is Zesty Mike. Now, I'm coming at you live with 25% less husky. Now, last week, you guys asked me to go into further detail on how I actually record my gameplay videos. Although I don't really do gameplay anymore, I still have had some time to finesse and try and figure out what works best for me. So for today's episode, I'm going to be covering how I did my gameplay recordings when I did them. For starters, you're going to need a webcam recorder, a game recorder, and voice recorder. Now, there's plenty of different options out there for you guys to choose from. However, I'm going to be covering the programs I have and I use. For gameplay, I use Dextree. This program is nice because it gives you a lot of control. You can run speed tests on your hard drives to see what's best fit to record to, and you can download new codecs, which is nice. Alright, guys, so bear with me on this. I've tried this word like 10 times now and I can't read it. So I'm literally just going to read it right off of the tablet and just try my best. Okay. For instance, I use the codec called Lagereth. Lagereth. Lagereth's lossless codec. That's a lot of Ls and ifs and everything else. So look it up if you're interested. It's a good codec. And you can also assign multiple audio sources. If you want, you can even do virtual audio cables to record Skype or Teamspeak separate. So once you pick your fastest drive and best codec for you, you're good to go. Next, you need an audio recording program. I use Acoustica Mixcraft. This is a paid program, but it's worth every penny. However, there's some free programs out there that you can use that will give you similar results. However, what I like about Mixcraft is you can assign effect chains to get that sound you're looking for. Save the chain as a preset and now you can record directly with those effects already applied. And of course, they can be tweaked afterwards if you want. Now lastly, your webcam software. I use Logitech webcam software because it gives you control over zoom and color. Not to mention stupid effects here and there. Not much setting up to do here. Just frame it up and you're good to go. Now you're ready to record. Press record on each program and before you start, make sure you do some sort of indication to sync up these layers. For instance, I like to click escape or jump so that that way I can match the audio layer with the video layers. You can also clap or do whatever else needed to make it easiest for you. Now when you're done recording, stop your recordings and do a noise removal sweep in your audio software. Then render out your audio as a high quality dot wave file. Now through all your files into your editor of choice, I prefer Adobe Premiere. Now once all your layers are in the editor, find that signal you did and sync it up. Now after you've synced up the layers, you're ready to go and start editing. But anyways guys, that's how I did my gameplay recording when I did it. Hope this helps some of you guys who are interested in finding out how I actually did the recordings. But that's it for me today.
