 Hey there, Chad Vonjah here for High University Libraries. Coming to you with a little selfie cam action. Basically, in this video, I'm gonna be comparing the audio and lag qualities of recording with, what I usually record my video with, with this Logitech video camera. I'm gonna be comparing that to this blue Yeti microphone. See what happens sometimes if your computer has been running for a little while and you record the video with this, and then the audio with this, with Screencast-O-Matic. Sometimes there can be a little bit of a lag with what you actually see on the screen. So sometimes it can be like one of those old 70s kung fu theater movies where they say like, you wanna fight, fight me, right? So it looks like it's been dubbed. So this is a comparison of the two video or audio inputs here to see how the sound quality differs as well as to see if there's any visual lag with what you hear with what you see on the video from my lips. So here you go. So I thought I'd do a quick test of different kinds of audio with Screencast-O-Matic and caption audio with different devices. Right now I'm using the Logitech, I guess C920 webcam to record the audio. I just wanna see what kind of lag I get between my voice using Screencast-O-Matic on my computer. I just restarted my computer so nothing else is really running except for Screencast-O-Matic. So ideally it should be pretty fast. And the second part of this video is gonna look at using the Blue Yeti microphone as an audio input, which actually, excuse me, gives you much better audio quality, but because they're two different devices, I've got the webcam over here and the camera here and it's recording via Screencast-O-Matic on my computer, which is right here as you see me. That can sometimes produce a little bit lag where the voices don't match up sometimes with it looks like an old Kung Fu movie from the 70s where you say like things like wanna fight, fight me, you know, that sort of thing. So we're just kind of messing with the audio settings here to see if that actually works or not. So this concludes the test with the Logitech, just webcam, straight up video, and now we're gonna look at the Blue Yeti microphone. So this is a test with the Blue Yeti mic, as you see here, and we're just gonna try to detect the lag and also the sound quality. And I usually put it out of the frame of the camera so I might put it like right here on my desk. So it's literally probably like an arms length away from me. It's just out of the field of view of where you're seeing the camera here. And so we're trying to see what kind of lag we have, so I'm gonna clap and I'm gonna clap again to see what kind of lag there is and if my lips are slightly behind what I'm seeing on the screen because we're using two different devices, we're using the Logitech camera to record directly via USB into the computer and then we're using the USB mic, the Blue Yeti, which is plugged in via USB to record the audio. So sometimes there can be some lags. I'm just gonna put these on Windows Movie Maker and combine the two clips and see how they come out. So be a good test for folks to look at video quality. So hopefully this helps you and hopefully it helps me determine what's the best settings for looking at recording my instructional videos and other videos that I do. So hope this helps, takes care and have a great day. So it occurred to me after I was recording this and putting all the files together that I needed kind of an addendum to this, right now the Blue Yeti is about an arm length apart. If I actually move it a little bit closer, whoops, but not my webcam down. If I move it a little bit closer, you do see that the mic is in the field of view and we can change my camera a little bit and move it over here if I had to. Unfortunately that falls off my table there but the proximity of the mic will produce significantly better audio than if it was all the way over there. I'm talking in the same tone of voice. So you can adjust the gain on the Blue Yeti. There is a knob actually on the back, back here that you can adjust the gain and make it a little bit louder. But that does tend to produce a little bit more hiss sometimes in the background. So better to have the mic as close to you as possible to get better audio as opposed to, once again, another 12 inches away. So if you can get it, and this is right now, you can see my arms kind of bent like this about what, you know, 12 inches away from my face right now and I'm getting pretty good audio here. So I have been running my computer for a while so it may have some lag between the actual video and or the audio and the video as according on screen customatics. I've been doing some emails, some other programs. So there may be a little bit of lag after my computer's been running a little bit. So upon initial preview of the first video clips of this video, there wasn't any lag to be seen. So it could be that when we do this kind of recording we'll make sure that you fire computer up fresh and don't run a whole lot of programs before you do your initial recording. Otherwise, you know, the internal memory can get kind of bogged down and that sort of thing. So anyway, so this concludes this video. Hopefully it helps you and have a great day. Take care.
