    Hello folks! I've recently started a YouTube channel:

    http://www.youtube.com/user/Edomien

    Thing is, my audio is completely and utter garbage. I edit most of the background noise and hissing out, but it's too much of a problem. In my first video of a survival series, you can see that I am somewhat awkward -_- and full of low-quality audio.



    Of course I plan on improving my performance quality-wise and commentary-wise! What headset do you folks recommend? I'm thinking about the Turtle Beach Ear Force X12 headset. It has a mic and looks appealing. But, recording in the room next to the noisy heater that heats the whole house, I need to make sure not too much background noise is recorded. Let me know in the comments of your folks' recommendations!

    I've been thinking of moving all my recording equipment to the quiet, abandoned basement. Also, I've reconsidered my post. It's not a headset I need for recording, it's a microphone. (I discovered that the X12's mic is way too sensitive. With my crazy sister and brother screaming all the time, that wouldn't be good. :p) Question reconsidered: What microphone do you folks recommend? I'm thinking of getting the Blue Snowball. Also, which headphones do you recommend? I just need headphones in order to hear high quality audio. Nothing too fancy.

    Ok, disregard this thread because I've decided on using the Blue Snowball (Brushed Aluminum) with the Audio-Technica ATH M20 Stereo Monitor Headphones! To increase the audio quality, I've also ordered the Ringer Universal Shockmount and a pop filter. Bam. Instant increase in quality and future subs. ;)

    Subbed :) Make your videos based on the server that will get more people on the server as your YouTube channel grows. Plus I've been waiting for someone to start recording there ShadeCrest Survival experience! Good Luck!

    Sounds good! I'll do Shade Crest a bit after singleplayer though, I don't want to dive in too much atone time. But I'll take this into great consideration and come up with ideas. Thanks much!
