 This is the first in a series of videos. I'm gonna do all about my pre-live checklist or what I do before I even record in fact. And the first section that we're gonna focus on is audio. So for each of these, there's gonna be five things that I sort of check before I click the record button. And first of all, do check that the audio interface is on. This may be obvious if you've got a hardware interface, but if you're using a software interface like Audio Hijack, it might be easy to miss that you haven't actually got it activated. Also make sure that you have your source selected so that the correct microphone is leading into it. And do check your signal processing as well so if you've got any noise reduction, things like that, then make sure that those levels are all the same as they should be and haven't been changed since you last used it. Last one is do check the mute button. It's so easy to miss. I've done recordings before I added this to my list. Well, I'd actually forgotten that I was on mute. So don't make the same mistake as me. In the next video, we'll be looking at lighting.
