Post your gaming setup!

[glo]

It takes you an hour to encode a 2GiB FRAPS video? What are you running, an Athlon 64?

No, it took me 3 minutes. I was referring to a full pass H264 encode with the best settings possible in virtualdub. For whatever reason someone felt the need to say my video quality was sub par, which was unrelated to what I was trying to show.

[DeltrusDisc]

I'm assuming it's the microphone?

Yeah it is. I used my amazing skills with physics and got it propped up but it is in no way actually stable. I don't wan to have to hold it all the time whenever I want to talk. Desktop mic stand inc probably tomorrow.

I'm serious, stop derailing this thread or I'll be forced to either lock or infract.

Look how serious I am, even using red colour.

A microphone on my desk that I am now using with my computer is part of my gaming setup, I swear! <3

I can't remember off the top of my head, did you say you have a Xonar card at some point? Or are you using a Soundblaster, or even onboard right now?

Cause for an expensive looking mic, it doesn't sound much better than a standard headset on your episode 3 video. :|

Upon reading this, Deltrus proceeds to aquire piles of audio equipment, and eventually ends up with a room reminiscent of Deadmau5' home studio.

lolwut?

Asus Xonar DX comes sometime this week, estimated delivery date that TD had given me was the 12th, I hope that ends up being right. <3

I realize the audio in the video doesn't seem too much different than my old stuff, but I think with the sound card it may take more advantage, I did have someone say it sounded a little clearer in my test video:



Got a link to Deadmau5's home studio? Name sounds familiar, but I am unable to recall at this time.

And yeah piles of audio equipment? Um... old Roland Fantom S88 keyboard with 2 balanced-input speakers, 1 being dead, and ancient headphones, likely from the 80s? Yeahno. I wish though... and I was talking to Cyanotical last night about a lot of this audio stuff, I think I've just always been a sleeping audiophile who is finally starting to wake up.

I know with my drumset and especially my cymbals - those are top of the line, I care about sound, I've just never had the best audio setups, it'll be a while before I have an audio setup that would do my drumset justice.

A microphone on my desk that I am now using with my computer is part of my gaming setup, I swear! <3

I use a Shure SM57 microphone run into an M-Audio Fast Track Pro for vent and stuff, it's a pain in the ass to setup and get the right voice output though. I want a desk microphone that works so people can hear me loud and clear when my face is more then a foot away from the microphone. I hate feeling like I have to breath into the damn things in order for people to hear me. That, plus I find headsets to be irritating for long sessions and cause me discomfort in my neck, I'd rather have my Bose headphones on and a microphone away from my face while gaming so I can sit back and be comfortable.

Looks like he has a Moog synth in that setup, he must make a ton of coin to afford those freaking things, they cost a few thousand dollars.

[Drunkenvalley]

Gonna wait till the HD 7970 before I dump everything on the HDD and properly install everything on the SSD. That way, I can install all the newest drivers right away...

Arguably one of the biggest electronic music artists out there today, I would hope he has enough money to afford that :P

I have a series of SWEET JESUS moments using my SSD now. Mostly because even small operations that I expect to take a few secs go like ZOINK.

New SSD? :P I felt that way with mine. I'd restart and start my computer over and over again just to see the speed.

[Drunkenvalley]

I have yet to try that. Seeing ads, I'm reminded I should look more at the settings for Firefox.

After a while that you don't even notice it though, I turn my computer on, load in a record, sit down and turn on my monitors to have the log in screen waiting.
