 booting up the stream now. And great! Right as soon as I start, I need a sneeze. But, nope. Nope. Okay, great. Awesome. Watery eyes and all. So, welcome guys to the stream. It should be live and working now. And we have Derpy Thunder with us. If you guys can, let us know what the audio quality is like between both of us, because I know last time we had some issues equalling out everything. So, yeah. We'll give it a moment to see, make sure everything's working, and then get started. All right. I'll unmute you here, so I don't have to listen to you twice, because that would be absolutely... Yeah, no one wants that. Yeah, it's... Once is good enough. Also guys, I'm gonna just throw this out here. I'm allergic to allergy stuff, and I'm coming down with it today, and I can't breathe. So, if I'm sniffly and sneezy, I'm sorry. But, gotta deal with it, because it's that time of the week where we gotta talk about stuff. So, let's do it. Fair enough. I'm there. I'm right there with you, except I took medication, so... I did too, though. Well, mine works. Mine's not from the black market, Mike. Mine works like nine out of ten days, and then the one day that I have to go live that just like punches me in the face with cat hair and everything else. That happens. All right. So, I'm not seeing any comments about how it sounds, so we'll just start talking about stuff. Basically, for those of you guys who are new here, we are here to review your channels and check out your stuff, give you feedback on what you guys do, let you know what we think of your videos, give you maybe a little bit of advice on what you can improve upon, and of course, what you're doing well as well. So, yes, that's that. And anyways, to submit, all we need you guys to do is type in the chat there. Let us know a video you want us to check out, because you can't paste links in the chat. I can't even paste links for whatever reason, so just go in there and tell us what video you want us to check out, and we'll put it up on the screen. We'll check it out. And this is... Are we going based on... Do they put their name in the video or it's just the... Just search up the video itself. We just click their name and then search it. All right. This is so awful. This is going to be the longest hour ever. I'm excited to be here, but guys, I can't breathe. Yeah. Oh, man. All right. So... I can't even tell you to take deep breaths to calm down. Kind of counterintuitive. All right. So, I'm still not seeing anybody in here. Okay. Check out my video, my PS3 startup from Libyan Gaming HD. I see something here. Your voice is coming from your face, Cam. Oh, no. It better not be. If that's... If that's the case, I'm going to puke everywhere. Nope. It's coming from the right mic. Yeah. I hear it fine on both sides. Oh, God, I heard myself. That's terrible. Okay. All right. There is the channel, and we're going to be watching PS3 setup. Okay. Oh, great. It's not in English. I can't read this. Hopefully you speak in English so I can review what you're saying. Okay. My PS3 startup. Yes. 10 seconds long. Wait. Is that the right one? Where do you see that at? It's right as you go to the page. The first video is right. Is it startup or setup? Oh. My PS3 startup. Oh, okay. I see it then. Sure. It's setup. I don't know which one is it. Okay. Where'd it go? Which video did he say? Where'd it go? Where'd we go? There's so many comments. I can't keep track of it all. All right. It's startup. So you were right. Look at that. I was? Yeah. All right. Okay. First of all, copyrighted music. Got to be careful with that. Even though it's just 10 seconds, you could still get in trouble. So be careful there. There's actually not much to review here because it's only the quick 10 seconds. Yes. Go ahead. Well, I'm not real sure what... I don't understand. Is this impressive startup time for the PS3? Is that what this is? Or is that actually what it does when it starts up? I'll be honest. I'm a PC gamer. I don't even know what consoles are anymore. I'm still having N64 in my bedroom. I think I got a PS3 somewhere shoved in my closet. All right. Well, I'll be honest. I really don't know what to say other than good job. Well, 467 views off booting up PS3 with a troll face. So that's worthy of credit. All right. So let's watch a video that's longer than 10 seconds that we can give you guys something to critique over. So if you want to pick one, feel free. Just from the comments there. I just sniffed the mic. I'm so sorry. The comments. Yeah. On the stream. All right. So I'm picking another channel entirely. Yeah. Okay. If you want to come back with a different video, I'm sure, but right now it's... What is this? Adventures infinity. Check out my episode nine of Game Nights. All right. All right. Oh, it links you right to their YouTube channel. Oh, that's beautiful. All right. So you said Game Nights. Episode, which one? Episode nine. He says it's his latest... Oh, it just came out three hours ago. Yeah. So all right. As if 2016 needed to be any more amazing. This is Game... Greetings, everyone. Adventures infinity here. Welcome back to another episode of Game Nights. What is that? Got to breathe. This past week, we actually had the A.S. Chrome come out and confirm that those are awesome. And then get... I like your graphics as far as your little... The A.I. that you have there. I think that's definitely cool. And I like how it represents your channel there. As for down here, your little bottom third, it works. I like how it's transparent so you can see through it. And as for you, a little filmmaking tip, I like to give a little bit less head room personally. I don't know about you, but I try to keep the top of the frame right about the top of the camera so that way you're not having as much wasted space. I think the first thing that tended to stick out to me with episode nine here is the audio seems to be just a tiny bit out of sync. And that was just slightly distracting when I started up the video. It kind of looks like the camera quality might be hindering that. Possibly. I'm not real sure what was used to record this. I'm assuming it could have been webcam of sorts, but... Yeah, good use of B-roll and stuff too throughout it to cover up that, so it's not solely focused on that. Especially if you're limited to what audio quality you guys have, it helps to use B-roll and use to cut away from this and cut to other stuff, because your audio quality is good. It's just the video quality doesn't seem all there. It looks like it might be webcam, but it's not bad. It works, but it could be better. So it's nice that you guys are cutting away from it. I like how it's kind of a vlog type format, but it cuts to other things, so you keep interested. As for really all I'd say is for your set, I think what you have going on here is good. I think it's a good idea. I think you could do a lot with it, but just kind of work on what's in the frame here. Like if you get a better angle going on, better lighting. Oh, hold on. Oh, man. Blast you. Oh, I didn't think it was this bad. It was actually a clearing up before I started the stream, but it looks like the only lighting you have is the lighting from the monitors on your face. So it gives that blue light, and then your background seems like you have the room tinted red, or the orange lights. So as a filmmaker doing filmmaking stuff, that's what I would say to focus on, especially since you do cut back and forth, and I'm at so much, is just try and work on what you see here in the frame, because like the background is cool where you have the game theme posters, you have your Mass Effect stuff back there, but just try and get like a tighter shot. You don't need to see like your laundry basket back here, your bed, if you maybe lower it a bit and then get the top of the frame right around the top of your head, then have the backdrop and then work with your lighting a little bit. Even if you just get different colored bulbs, you don't have to go get a full setup. It could improve it a lot. I know that there is a picture that always helps me. I don't, you said I can't post links. Is there any way I can? You could send it to me and Skype, and then I'll pull it up. Okay, sure. It's actually a photo from VNH video. I think it's where I originally saw it, but it was just a very standard picture of lighting for interviews. This is way beyond excessive, but I like it just because it kind of gives an example of how you can do lighting on a subject to get the best results, being able to have a light behind them, a light on them, and then a secondary light on them to help kind of fill in the overall lighting on the subject itself. I also personally, I like to try and turn that backlight a little bit to give a backlight for your subject so it separates them from the background. It gives like a little ring light around the back of their head. Yeah, but yeah, I definitely think that works. Even if the fill light was your monitors and then you had, you know, another main one lighting up the rest of you, that could work. Mm-hmm. I just always found the picture semi-beneficial, so I don't know. You might too. There you go. All right, cool. So that was Adventures in Fendi. If you guys want to check that out, be sure to go see that and then let them know what you think as well. So we're going to go ahead and pick a different person. All right. Activity has picked up. Oh yeah, and guys, also keep in mind, we're not just saying, channel, let us know what video you want us to check out, so that way we can actually have something to go and look at. Otherwise, we might check out a video you guys don't want us to see. It just gets really messy and not good. Yeah. So sniffles, sniffles, sniffles. All right, I saw, all right, I have a feeling I'm going to mispronounce this one. Tuddin? Tuddin? Uh, T-U-D-D-I-N. Oh, where's audio coming from? Hold on. Hold on. I don't know where audio is coming from. I have something playing over here somewhere. Look at the tabs up at the top, whatever audio is coming from. There's nothing. We've had a very chilled evening. Nothing. And I'm loving Jackson Hole. Oh, sounds like fun for Louis. A little chipmunks. Where does that come from? Okay, there we go. Wow, that was chaos. I'm so sorry, guys. I don't know where that came from. What are my pages refreshed out of nowhere? Oh, all right. There we go. Technical difficulties. All right. He said to check out Happy Wheels part one. Oh, always love some happy wheels. You'll like this one. Yeah. All right. All right. So first, your intro. What I always say with these like dubstep intro stuff is as long as it's relevant to the video and it sets you up for the video you're about to watch, then it's okay to have, but if it's not, it kind of takes away from it. And the fact that it's Minecraft on a Happy Wheels video, I think kind of takes you away from it. I liked the color. I like the style of it. But yeah, the Minecraft guy felt a little out of place to me. Yeah. If it was for a Minecraft video, I'd actually like that use of it. However, for this one, maybe just nix it out or do another one entirely for Happy Wheels. I also like how his chill step and not... Yeah. Five minutes. Oh, man. All right. So first, I'm going to have to point out the audio quality it sounds like you're kind of recording over a webcam or something. And it's one thing to work with the equipment you have, but you can also play around with placement to try and get a little bit more crisp. Because even if you do have to use webcam, and that's all you have or whatever you're working with, you could try and get closer to get more of a more clear sound instead of more hollow. Yeah. I know it's not even quality for me. It's a little bit quiet. Yeah. In my opinion. And I think that's that's actually a bigger, bigger feature than the quality in this one. Yeah. I just I have to turn it up to hear. At the moment, I kind of have it turned out because I'm trying to talk over it so we can keep on talking. So I don't completely see it, but I love this game though. It always makes me laugh. You're going to be the main one here because you're you really are like happy. I know. It's like the game itself is just such a funny game. Like even without commentary, you could just have it silent and it would still make me laugh seeing like the stuff that happens to these poor people. Like if you have a good personality with it, it's really easy to make funny. Yeah. But yeah, I definitely think you're like energy and commentaries there. You just need to work on that crispness of your microphone and try and make it come through a little bit more clear so that way people can clearly hear you and know what's happening and they can get that full experience. That's what I'm saying. You are talking. You are commentating. You are sharing your experiences with the game. It's just you want people to be able to hear you now. Yeah. That's very, very important. Yeah. You got the one thing that people normally don't have and that's the energy and excitement for playing the game. Now you just need to work on equipment, quality, setup. And once you get that, I think you'll be set. Mountain Dew ad. Yeah. That's another thing. You normally don't see mid, mid roll ads. Yeah, that's I understand that. I understand like, I don't know. Is there a YouTuber that you've seen that does a mid roll ad that you've been okay with? Occasionally. I usually see it on YouTube videos that are about an hour long. Yeah, like full length movie stuff. Yeah, they'll put maybe two ads or so in between there every 20 minutes or so. I understand needing more money and stuff because everyone does. So I understand the ads, but I had tried to limit it to a pre-roll ad and then an outro ad because the outro one you can close off of like you don't have to stick around in order to get the full experience. So if you're good, if you have to do more than one, if you have bills to pay and you need to make a little bit more from what you're doing than intro and outro, but nothing more than that. And I especially know from even personal experience and general rule of thumb, a channel of this size, your main goal is to grow an audience. And once you have that audience, you can start bringing in an income. But yeah, it's putting ads in the middle of your video sometimes can really deter an audience. Yeah, like one of our 14 minutes long, one of our close friends, she does, she has a mildly successful YouTube channel. And the way she sets it up, she uploads the video with no ads. And then after the first week, then she'll put just the in stream ads. And then after the second week, she'll put pre-roll ads on it because she wants the viewers to get like the best experience possible. And if you're there first, she wants to like reward you for being there. And like, I think that is really just an awesome way to go around it. Yeah. But there's some of us that can't nix that extra money out and need to pay the bills needed by our ramen noodles to keep on showing our art to the world. Right. All right. Can't beat ramen. I know, right. And lastly, the outro slate. Now, this one is a little bit more simple. It looks, yeah, still got that dubstep though. What's your thoughts on that? The outro dubstep. It's very simple. Yeah. It gets the message across though. Yeah. Yeah. The music, I don't even think I'd call that dubstep. That's more just a simple medium dance type. But only thing I'd really say is transparent annotations because when you highlight over it, you can't even see what's going on. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So if you're trying to watch and you're going up to click, you actually have to physically move away to see it. So just convenience for the viewers again, just to try and get the most bang for your buck. Yeah. And this has no relevance other than my OCD is killing me by the fact that the two annotations are different size. I'm freaking out right now. Yeah. Now that I close it, I can see everything nicely. But yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, I'm going to let you pick another channel real quick. I'm going to blow my nose because I'm sick to the world. All right. I'll be back in a brief second. So throw it in the chat once you find it. Okay. Hello. Wonderful chat and audience that is before me today. Let us take a look, see in here. Do you find anyone? I could lie to you and say yes. But you could tell the truth and say what? I'm trying to find someone that's asking not in spamming all caps. Again, guys, make sure you put the video that you want us to check out, not just channel. So just say the title of the video as well as Turtles. Turtles. Yes. Oh, hold on. All right. You find any? No, I'm terrible at decisions. Choose for me, Mike. All right. Can't do this. It's like super salad all over again. So found one from Laura girl gamer. Okay. And she said her video channel trailer two. So it's actually featured at the moment. It's actually kind of cool. First off props to you because it sounds like you are a younger creator. And the fact that you're starting at an early age, a lot of people think that hinders them. But if I could have started when I was a young boy and started up and everything, I could be so much further than what I am now. So props to you for doing that. That's cool. You definitely play a well like a wide range of games. There's Minecraft. There's horror stuff. There's yeah, I like Minecraft. And I also saw Five Nights at Freddy's. Props for playing the game that I physically can't play. So yeah, I like to sleep at night. Yeah, I like the fact that you go through and you actually narrate over it and discuss, you know, like what you're going to see on the channel, what you can find the different types of material you could find and give an idea of what you will see in that particular game as well. I think that's very useful. Oh my goodness. This is awful. Only thing every time Mike sneezes, he loves your channel. Just keep that in mind. Okay, so I have to sneeze during every review. Yeah, it really happens. Like I'm over here crying. I love it so much. The intro is cool. Like normally, I'm not a big fan of the dubstep stuff, but it seems like you got your skin involved in there and it's near or it's animated throughout. That's just a nice way to do it. Quality, I think is your only really hindrance there is with your audio quality. If you could try and get, you know, even a cheaper mic that sounds a little bit more crisp and clear, I think you could go a little bit further with that. I noticed a lot of clipping. You have the type of YouTube personality where you enjoy being really, really loud. And I know that I enjoy doing it as well. It's more fun to be loud. Yeah, it's more fun to just scream at everything and have a lot of fun. But it's you definitely want to find a microphone or even more microphone placement and the gain levels. You want to get everything tweaked to where you can be loud and not have that huge amount of distortion come on. But I always did. I'd record at like 5% of my volume levels. That way I had more room to tweak it and play with it without clipping because I do yell a lot. Well, my rule of thumb was always I prefer audio that's too quiet to audio that's too loud. Unless you can't physically hear it. Well, no, no, no, not on the video. But why is I prefer to record it too quiet than record it too loud? Because you can always raise levels and remove background noise, but you cannot fix clipped distortion. Mm-hmm. Also, I want to point out, it looks like she also has a graphics channel, GFX channel. So, it looks like a lot of the stuff she's done by herself. And that's really awesome to see at that age, the fact that you can do this stuff, because it's like, what, Cinema 4D probably? Oh, yeah, I was going to ask if that intro was designed by her or if someone had done that. Parts of it might have been templatable, but still the fact that you can work in that software and do that. Yeah. I can't even work in Cinema 4D. I hope it saw a million buttons everywhere and went, nope. Yeah. There's a scene in there where she's actually animating her character and stuff. So, I don't know. That's really, really talented. I wish I would be able to do that at that age. That's really cool. That's incredible. All right. So, I think we got a good gist of that channel there. So, again, good work. Just kind of work with your audio quality placement and if you can, heck, for Christmas or whatever, if you're serious about it, ask for a microphone or something to one up. All right. So, all right. We're going to pick a new channel now. So, if I could be incredibly biased. Okay. I see Terrafrost, Terraria 1.3, General Guide, New Mimics. I kind of want to see what that is. Okay. Because I've played 800 plus hours of Terraria. Totally not biased over here. I'll be honest. I haven't gotten into Terraria. I think it's a fun game. The very, very, very brief amount that I played. I just haven't learned what to do. So, we need to get some people. We need to do a Terraria series. Like a Newbin Pro game? Yeah. That's one thing that we should totally do. We need to get some people. You need to go grab Brittany and we need to all do a Terraria series. All right. He said New Mimics. So, yeah. Let's breathe real quick. All right. Oh, that was a fate. That was, okay. What? Nearly had a heart attack. Well, the video started. It had a blur in effect. I thought the whole video was that blurry. I was about to... Oh, yeah. Okay. All right. So, this is just completely... All right. So, I'll be honest. I don't like to read. I'm not a reader. I'm a listener. Nobody likes to read. I like books with pictures. So, if this is the style that you're going to go for where it's more of an informative style stuff, I definitely think you're doing well because the information's there. It's good quality. But personally, I would like to see it with a voiceover instead of this because I just really don't like to read. And if I'm reading the whole time, I can't watch what's going on on the screen. Everybody, check out my channel. I will give you a voiceover for money. I have a paid voiceover site that I'll be starting soon. Come to me for all your voiceover needs. Yeah. Go ahead and narrate it for us as you see the text coming. Well, see, I'd narrate it but this new patch, I haven't seen anything and they changed the entire game. So, I don't even know what's happening. I was just... I mean just the text that comes in at the bottom. Read that out for us. Let's get an example of what this could be like. See, I think that would be how you can take this and just push it a lot further in the other direction. But Mike, there's more than just one. But yeah, the video is doing well. It has a lot of views because people are interested in it. They want to see what there is to come. All the comments seem positive and stuff. Oh, I'm fun. Just watching the freaking yo-yo be thrown around. Yeah, I know, right? So, I mean, it's all there. I just think if you want to take it and go a little bit further with it, you should try and maybe do some commentary with it. I don't know if you're like hindered with your quality or not because everything here quality-wise is really good. That might take away from it if you don't have the right equipment. But if you do, why not try it? It's not going to hurt. Yeah, definitely. Terraria is a game that's not too difficult to record, but I mean, you definitely have very, very good quality with it. And lastly, I would like to see some type of outro slate to get the most bang for your buck because you're not redirecting your traffic anywhere else. Right now, it brings up this slate right here where it has some of your videos, but other people's videos as well. And if this is what you're relying on to get people to your next video, there's another 10 choices to choose from, let alone all the stuff down here on the sidebar. So if you create an outro slate there and you can say, click this video next, watch this one next, or watch this series, or see this other update that came out from the game, you can click this to check it out. And that way to keep people on your channel longer. It is very informative though. Yeah. Some for myself who's played Terraria but doesn't know Jack about the new update. It's definitely, you know, I can see a lot of what they've added and I'm getting new information here, which will save me a trip to the wiki. So props on that. All right, cool. So now we're going to hop on to the next one. All right. So again, guys, be sure to put your video titles in the chat over here for us to check out. And once we see one, we will hop on over there. Okay, I found one I'm interested in. Okay, oddly enough. So this one is whispering and call of duty video. I've never heard of that before. So I want to see because like the big thing that we always say about call of duty is do something different. And that seems different. Okay. Um, all right. This person's played dead realm, actually. I want to play with something. Okay, where is this video? If you just type, yeah, whisper, search there. Advanced warfare. Yes. Okay. All right. Let's listen to this dude. First off, I love the name, your face. It's your face. The intro is not bad. Maybe a little bit long. I thought this was going to be one of those like calming videos where you're trying to calm people. This is definitely okay. This is trolling people. Yeah. It's, it is funny though. I'm not a big fan of being mean to people, but this is kind of just funny. Yeah, I might have to watch this one later. I will say I despise call of duty and you got good laughs out of it. So I mean, we're only amended into it. So you've done well there. You've landed it. I'm a horrible human being. So this is funny to me. Yeah. I mean, I'm guilty of laughing. All right. I'm not going to watch all of it because I don't want to offend anybody out there. In the beginning, I thought he was going to run in there and just go all pervert to pervert. I know. Relax. I got a whole freeze. Oh my. Well, it's pretty funny. Yeah. No, I definitely think it's funny though. That's funny. Yeah. Oh man. Not much to say on that. Yeah. Good job. You made us laugh. That was freaking weird and high quality. Oh my gosh. As we said on the last one, you might want to think about getting a outro slate to redirect people. But yeah, other than that, the quality is good. Audio quality is good. Do you have anything to say other than the intro and outro? Yeah. I think I'm on board with you with shorting the intro just a little bit because I'm seeing about 22 seconds is around when the intro's done. Well, he starts talking though. To be fair. Yeah, he does. The animation doesn't start till what's like 15 seconds long, probably. It starts at eight seconds ends at 22. That's too much math for Monday. Close enough. Yeah. I try to keep them like, oh man, seven seconds on the long side and after five seconds start to fade into what you're going to show. Yeah. So that way, you're already showing up, you know, what's going to happen. I always say is imagining your couch surf or your couch surfing, your channel surfing on the couch, sitting there with your clicking through the channels and stuff. And you're not going to spend 20 seconds on each one to see if you like it or not. You're going to know within the first five seconds if you want to stay there. And if you want to stay there, you will and you'll finish watching. And if not, then you're going to skip it. So if you're watching just a little animation for 20 seconds, you might lose interest pretty quick. I want to see what's up with this whispering and see what's going to take place with this video and what makes it different from the rest. So maybe even just start the intro clip with just a funny scene from what happened in there. Like the funniest part you found, like the most funny thing you found in that whole entire video, throw it before the animation and then start. I haven't watched the whole thing, but I think hello there little kids. I think that takes the cake. Yeah. How's it going? It's your face. I don't know. That's today. It's like definitely, definitely grabs your attention pretty quick. Yeah. I don't know. Good job. That's all I could say. Consider call of duty. Very, very, very good, good word for that one. Yeah. All right. All right. So we're going to pick another one. Oh God, I'm up on a crap. Okay. Yeah, we're gonna actually pick this time. The stress. Again, guys, you can't put links in the chat. You have to just type in what the name of your video is that you want us to check out. Yeah, here's a, here's a very long. Hey man, can you check us out? Been trying to get some feedback on our channel for a while. We put a lot of work into our videos. Most of the background videos are recorded by ourself. Jelly face? Maybe. Okay. MBNO music is the name of this one. Okay. And what video? I didn't really say a video. He just said he just wanted a channel trailer. Okay. Now we can do general feedback if you want. I think this is a music channel is what it seemed like from judging by the text on the banner. I assume so. What makes you so? Oh. Oh. Where music unites or unite. Yeah. So let's see here. Looks like there's some remixes and maybe some originals. So let's hear here. And another thing is, I doubt the remixes are, but do give away royalty free stuff if you are an original content creator. Because you could do a lot with that if you decide to start up your own business and like alongside your YouTube channel. That could go far. I definitely like the channel trailer video. You have. Yes, I'm really liking this. I want to hear an original song though. Yeah, let's do that. But first, I do want to say though, like normally these are just equalizers and that's it. You have not only the equalizer and your logo, but an awesome background shot whether it's stock footage or you shot it yourself. It's still cool. And then it looks like there's like snow coming through like in particles on After Effects stuff. So it has a lot more layers to it. Actually nice to watch instead of just turn it on, minimize your browser. So the first thing off the bat I might actually recommend is I instinctively went to playlists to see if perhaps you had a playlist of remixes and then original tracks. I would recommend doing that. You could also organize that on your main page here. Because right now it's just upload. So yeah, help new viewers like us understand what's originals, what's not. Yeah. That's a good point. Because I'm assuming anything that's a remix says remix in it, but even without reading the title, I kind of wanted a quick place to go to immediately see where everything is here. Odd dial serenity. Again, love the video in the background and everything. That's a nice addition to it. Especially for the theme of the song, like the way it sounds right now. If it was like metal or something, you could have fire and this like just being a peaceful thing. It's a nice peaceful scene. That's actually cool to see. I wish you would this ambient music. It almost sounds like it's directly coming from that video. I mean, yeah, it's really cool. Yeah, it definitely sounds good. And if you are a royalty free creator, you know, this is definitely good for you and good for other people as well, because you could collaborate with a ton of different people very easily. And with music people, that's probably one of the easiest ways to grow your channel is collaboration. And there's so many endless possibilities to collaborate to collaborate with gamers, you know, filmmakers with vloggers for whatever. Yeah, I really like this song. It's very, I don't it's it's weird to say it's to me it's almost calming and upbeat at the same time. I guess inspirational would be the right yeah. Yeah, definitely just make it clear what is original works of art and what are remixes and stuff. I'd like to see original stuff from you because you're definitely talented. Yeah, if you can start up doing commissions or anything like that or even simple scores or yeah, any kind of stingers for like people's intros on their videos, you could you could make quite a bit off of that. Yeah, and good thing to try and build with your YouTube channel is your whole brand overall. And you need to try and figure out a way to outsource your money or outsource your income because if you're only relying on ad revenue to pay the bills, whoa, pay the bills, then you're gonna have issues. So you need to have a website to draw on traffic, whether it's selling merchandise or selling cinematic scores or whatever. Yeah, you you have a nice little platform to stand on here to do what got 12 subs. Go sub this guy. Seriously, this music is really good. Yeah, it doesn't look like you just started up. So that's yeah, I'm seeing five days ago. Oh, wow. Yeah, he's already got 12 videos. Yeah, so definitely on top of it. Yeah, that's wow, I I'd almost recommend pacing yourself a bit more than that even if you've got that many tracks pre made and pre recorded do one a day or two a week or whatever. Keep people waiting. It's good. It's really good. All right. All right. I gotta find my way back to your stream. I always lose it. You have to get like 4000 tabs opening. It's a little bit confusing. I'm used to that. Yeah, I am too. That's why I got really lost really when one of my tabs refreshed. Oh, yeah. All right, we're going with Ray Ray 1527 and his video. Okay, mine vortex something or other. He's dead, Jim. Oh, never mind. I lost the chat. Unfortunately, so mine vortex. Oh, it's the latest video. It looks like you haven't posted a video in a month. So definitely stay on top of it if you want to try to grow your channel because six months before that even. Yeah, well, this video is a month ago. So yeah, I know it takes some time to make videos, but maybe not that much time. So yeah, consistency is key. Sorry, my nasally stuff is getting in the way of me speaking. But you know, if you want to try and grow your channel, you need to make sure that you can keep on being consistent with your material. So don't overwork yourself. And at the same time, make sure you keep up with whatever you're going to do. So. All right, well, let's check out mine vortex. Okay, it looks like it's silent the first 10 seconds. So so wait. Okay, so this is a trailer for one of the servers. I just read the description of it to figure out exactly what it's about. So it's this new mini game that came out on one of the servers and you have her and he's doing like a showcase of it in a sense. Mm hmm. This kind of looks like the paint thing that we did. Oh yeah, except for like custom textures and stuff. Yeah, I'd like this one a lot better. Yeah, it's pretty neat. I like the giant gun that you get to lug around. Looks like you could also hit other people with it too. That's okay. What? Yeah. Oh, and then the gun changes. Yeah. Huh. So cool. Well, the game's definitely cool. But if you're using the trailer to showcase it, it might not be a huge help for your channel. Now, unless you like worked with the developers or you work for that server, then that's understandable. But allergies. Why? It's the worst day ever to do that. But yeah, if this is like what you do for a living, you know, work for servers and stuff, then that's understandable why you or why you didn't post that material for so long. But if you're wanting to make YouTube successful and grow your channel, you need to work on consistency and more relevancy to your name and what you want to do for your videos. So doing fun stuff like this for other people is always fun. But if you want to grow, you need to start building your brand and what you're doing, not someone else's. But other than that, I mean, it's good quality. The music's not really distracting. It paces it. And I would like to see some commentary or something more with it, but since it's a trailer, it's justified. So I hope that isn't a copyrighted track, because I believe I have this on my Spotify. Oh, really? Yeah, I've heard this song before. And I can't remember if it was through my hours of trying to figure out how to navigate position music or if it was, I don't know, maybe not. Like, don't, don't, don't worry about that. I'm just, if it is copyrighted music for anyone out there using copyright copyrights bad, don't do it. Yeah, if it is royalty free, then good for you. But hey, good job. You heard that happy metal. But yeah, I mean, good stuff. It looks good. Good quality. It's a fun video. I probably got to go check out the server now, to be honest. I'm definitely very intrigued by the game mode. It looks like a lot of fun. So, so you did the job of what you did the video for is to show off the game and everything. And I'm interested in it, but it doesn't do much for you and your channel is what we're getting at, I guess. Yeah. Because it might get views, but it's not going to help your overall brand and your overall name and people necessarily remembering you unless you start branding yourself as showcasing fun Minecraft servers. If that's what your channel's about, and that's all you do, then that would be a cool place. Like, people would subscribe to you to get the latest and greatest games. So that's an option. It just kind of depends on what you want your name to be associated with. So. And I think maybe even commentary or kind of text, how it was done in the Terraria one to explain the game mode, what's happening, what you do, what the objective is. I think it's a good showcase of what's going on, but I think there needs to be a bit more information as to what is actually happening because just from talking here, I went ahead and I've watched the whole video now, and I kind of understand. I mean, I get the basic premises of what's going on, but there were a couple things like the regenerating health and the XP bar seemed to go up and then fall down when you shoot. And I wasn't real sure if that was ammo or if that was like a charge-up or there were a bit of information that could have been added as an addition. Yeah. I mean, if it's a trailer though, it's not like a showcase, I guess. Right. So if you did make it a showcase, that might be better if you can tell more and give more information for people. Yeah. So yeah, definitely cool. We have to save that one. All right. All right. Oh, here we go. What? I just lost it. Hold on. Okay. The comments are coming so fast. Oh my. All right. So I'll be honest. I've been wanting to check this out. Okay. They're Gamin Gaming and Rocket League. I have not played it yet and I haven't watched anything on it. So I know I've been wanting to. I just haven't had a chance to yet, so I'm interested in seeing this. Well, you haven't seen Rocket League? I know what it is. I just haven't watched any videos on it yet. So I know it looks crazy fun and cool and everything. I just haven't had. But Senpai, the video that I'm going to make, it's not your first one. I mean, I'll watch yours too. It's okay. All right. You probably won't like mine as much. All right. Probably. Wow. Rocket League. Funny moments. Okay. Cool. Compilation like that. I understand your Wi-Fi problem. Before recently, I wasn't able to do the live streams. It was just bad. We couldn't do anything other than occasionally look at the internet. Yeah. Check emails about it. So as a funny moments, I feel like just by the title, it should be kind of like a faster pace chopped, just funny, funny, funny, funny, funny. Instead of, this seems more just like a play through with commentary. It's a little calm starting. Yeah. Now, I'm sure it has its funny moments in it, but as a funny moments video, I think it should all be funny moments. So you got 1080p. That's nice. Now, once they get started, you do seem to cut a little bit faster and keep that energy throughout it. It's just kind of a long intro for a funny moments video, I guess. Yeah. Like instead, be like, what's up guys, gaming gaming here and here's Rocket League funny moments and then cut to it instead of just talking over it for a while. So just keep it fast paced throughout the whole thing. Yeah. Once they get started, that's good. You have the, the comedy and then you have the energy. It flows. Yeah. I think especially with a game like this, the being able to not hide your excitement for the game is very important. Yeah. So you definitely got how Rocket League tends to sort of be a sport in itself. You've definitely got the sport commentator viewer excitement behind it. Yeah. Cool. Like, is this a game or game music or is that added? That's probably added. That's added. Yeah. There's. Oh yeah, you just cut. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think that works too. As long as it's all royalty free stuff, it helps pace it. It might be a little bit loud at the spot that I'm at. So you're kind of getting drowned out by the music and, you know, being a funny moment. So you want the, like, the object of it to be the funny commentary, not the music. Yeah. I think a big problem I tend to notice with background tracks on some channels, and I'm not saying this is 100% the case in this one, but I notice a lot of people go and get music and then they put it in the track and then they just leave it. That's, that's it. Yeah. Oh, that sounds good. Yeah. And in reality, music tracks are usually normalized to about negative 0.1. Well, most audio tracks, unless there's a lot of stuff done to them, are around, I'd even say this sounds like negative eight in the range of that. And without proper leveling, without proper EQ, you can easily be drowned out by an audio track that just slapped in there. Even game audio can sometimes drown you out if you're not careful with it. Yeah. Like default, when I go and I drop my music in, I normally drop it down about 20 decibels, and then I, and then I go from there sometimes even more depending on how loud it actually is, but yeah. Yeah. It's like, I, I'd like to make sure, like, if you look at the waveforms, you could see your spikes and then game is just very subtle underneath it. It shouldn't stand out or not game, but music. It should just help pace it not stand out unless that's what it's about. Your, your goal is not for the audience to necessarily hear the music. It's for them to acknowledge that there's something there besides quietness. Yeah. And I think the importance of a background track is not for them to sit there and dance to it. It's so that while they're listening to you, when you stop talking, like when there's a pause, it doesn't have such a negative impact. Yeah. Like people don't really notice that, Oh, he stopped talking entirely because there's still something playing. Yeah. I essentially the whole like audio thing all should work around that. Nothing should stand out as noticeable. Like whether it's audio quality, microphone quality, you know, being too loud, you want the whole audio, audio experience just to blend and no one really think too much about the audio. Yeah. Like after you acknowledge that's good or bad, you should be able to just watch and pay attention to the video and let that compliment it. So if it's standing out in any form, whether it's your microphone or your music or whatever, then you might need to change something up. Yeah. But other than that, I mean, the computer is good. Yeah, it really is hard. It's taken me four and a half years to even get remotely close to something good. So yeah, it's it's difficult. I'm still nowhere near you. I've been getting that you got the microphone. Yeah, at least, but that doesn't mean I know it. Anyways, yeah, I definitely think it's good. You have the good energy intro speed it up. After that, just play with your audio levels a little bit to get those equalized well. And then yeah, again, analogies why there is the complimentary Mike sneeze off camera. Yep. Your video is beautiful. All right, let's see here. I'm gonna put my blame on someone. Your blame on someone. Yeah. Can I do it? No BS? Nope, I can't never mind. I was gonna zoom in on my cat and just show the culprit. He's stuck in the room with me and I'm dying. After this, I'm gonna have to go for a long walk and clear out my nostrils. Oh, I'm actually crying. I'm not even gonna lie. Oh, I can't breathe. Pick someone. I need to breathe. Give me a break. Let's see. I see hello, Mike and Brennan. If you would be so very nice to critique my latest video, I would much, much appreciate it. I'm asking for this because I hit 100,000 or 100,000 Jesus Christ. 1000 subscribers. So it would be like a present. All right, Mr. Inmonum. All right. And I think this might be our last one actually because we're only allotted on here for an hour and the allergies are getting worse. I can't breathe. So I apologize, but yes. All right, which one do you say, episode 15? Um, I don't believe he said a particular video. He just... All right. Then you pick. Okay, I pick video. Well, I'll just pick the first one that comes up. It's episode 15. All right. This is the newest one he put up, so... Minecraft Naruto mod pack. Trezzers and backpacks. Hello. Yes, you. Well, there's someone behind you. You look. Come right in. Come right in. First off, audio quality is not bad. So I have to tell you something pretty good. Yeah. That's something very, very, it's important. Annotation. The actual video begins as soon as the intro starts. We're getting us. Oh, okay. It starts out with a thank you. Zero, zero, zero, subscribers. I'm really happy. And yeah, thank you so much. All right. So I think we're going to go ahead and skip that real quick and see what the video is about. Oh, yeah. Well, that was not rated G at all. Now the intro does sound like it has copyright music in it, isn't it? It doesn't sound... Oh, I just said music by all respective owners. Yeah, you just got to be careful with that, especially as you start growing your channel, you can get in trouble for music. So I feel like we're kind of just hopping into this because Ron Episode 15 said the first one to really get the full gist of everything that's going on. But it looks like it's kind of just a mod spotlight for Naruto, but kind of like a playthrough series using this mod pack. Well, I have no clue what any of this is now. I lost Minecraft since they added like pistons or something, I think. So... Since they added the dirt block. Yeah. So I do enjoy mod packs. I don't know that much about Naruto other than everyone runs around and they're like... Turn into foxes and then beat each other up or something. Yeah, definitely. It's a different take on Minecraft. Certainly have a good commentary. As a viewer, though, I'd feel it might be better if you don't highlight the Naruto mod pack in your title there, because it makes it seem like it's only just a spotlight on this mod and those type of videos are a little bit different than a playthrough. Instead, maybe title it something like Minecraft World of Naruto or something. And that way you could have more creative freedom to do whatever you want. Because after you title it, then everything else is relevant around that. So if you're just going to be doing a survival series using this mod pack, it's not about that mod pack, it's more about you and your commentary using that mod pack. Yeah, the way I almost see it is Naruto mod pack is a secondary... It's an afterthought of your video title. Yeah, or even in the description to say what mod pack can use. I'd almost be tempted to say it's something like Minecraft, and then you have your divider and have like Treasure and Backpacks Episode 15, and then in parentheses have Naruto mod pack. And people know that's an afterthought. That's what you're playing. That's not what you're primarily focusing on. Because after you get your quality down, you get your commentary and everything, then you need to start thinking about back end stuff like the titles, the tags, everything like that, and make it all work together to get the best results. And I think that might be kind of hindering you a tad. Yeah, I'm looking at the tags. They don't seem too bad here. A lot of them deal with, well, Minecraft and Naruto mod packs. I mean, that's essentially what it's about. Yeah, I think you should just kind of try and come up with an overall name for the series and use that to advertise that. And then, you know, if you want to just do a full Naruto mod video, then just do one showing all the stuff that the mod has. Because if I was to search that and come up with that, I'd be wanting to see, okay, is this egg from Naruto? What makes this as an unusual egg that I'm watching right now? Or, you know, I want to see the Naruto stuff that makes it a Naruto mod. But people here for you, you know, are going to be excited to see the new one that comes out. So that's essentially what you're marketing here, not just this mod. Yeah. But yeah, it definitely seems like it's an interesting world I'd like to see from the beginning where this cave is. I don't really have much to say because, I mean, I think Minecraft Survival series, I'm not super interested in, but it seems like you're taking a bit of a different approach to it. I can't even notice in the beginning here, you do a little bit of role-playing with it, which is, that's always fun to add into stuff. Oh yeah, definitely. But yeah, other than that, it's pretty cool. I watch out for your music and then start thinking about back end stuff, as far as titles and the series as a whole goes. And congratulations on that. Definitely. Fantastic. That's awesome. Entered the world of four digits. So props to you. Next five digits. So anyways, guys, thank you so much for hanging out with us on this live stream.
