Christmas present arrived!

So earlier in December I made a purchase for a mic (BM800) and a scissor arm for the mic..it was estimated to arrive in between 8th-13th January 2016

And everytime I have the chance I'll be looking for reviews on Youtube on the mic..many of the reviewers are pros and audiophiles!

Most reviews on the mic is good! They are surprised with the decent quality of the mic..however they recommend to use phantom power.

There are also videos of those plugging the mic directly to the pc..or even to a USB soundcard..with the USB soundcard providing the better option..of course the best would be phantom power

Now with me being a cheapo..I found the mic being sold at Lazada for RM70 bucks..and the cheapest among the other merchants that selling the same mic (highest was over RM300!)..added a cheap scissor arm for RM 30..I spent about RM100 bucks for both!

Chose the black/gold combination because it looks awesome and sleeeeeeeek..and before you know it..the mic arrives..3 weeks after purchase..about 2 weeks earlier..

First things first..it's not in a box unlike those appeared on Youtube videos I've watched..it came in it's foam protector case..and a wrap-around foam piece! Aaaaaannnnnd..WRONG COLOR!

Yup..PINK! OMFG..PINK! Of allllll colours..it arrived PINK! But you know what? FOOK IT! I embrace the Pink! 

No..that ain't a dildo! The internet has spoiled too many minds!

Went home and set it all up..plugged it using the XLR-3.5mm cable that came along..mounted it to the scissor arm..jack it to my Steelseries Siberia sound card..tested it over Audacity..HOLY CRAP! IT'S AWESOME!

I am decently surprise! It's definitely much better than my headphone's mic..hahaha..no I'm not bashing the Siberia V2 headset..but this is much better because there isn't anything stuck in front my mouth..I breath and sigh alot..and headphone mics pick those up..watch my videos and you'll HEAR it hahaha

I haven't been able to record much and upload much recently..I have roughly 2-3 hours every night after work..in which I spend most of the time with family and loved ones..don't want to be neglecting them don't we?

I can record many videos..it's the time taken to edit and upload that's pushing things back..now I'm still enjoying this..it's the good kind of pressure! Don't give up on me just yet dammit!

I will be uploading Destiny - Part 9 and Rocket League - Part 11..it is AFTER these 2..you'll be hearing me on the new mic..now..the next question..to record a video or not? It'll be super awkward and all..

ANYWAY! Please wait for more videos guys! In the mean time keep watching the other videos! Let me know if there is any games you guys wanna play together (co-op based games!)

I AM STILL ALIVEEEEE

I AM STILL HERE LAAAAAA!

Well..it's more like I've been tied up at work..being the one that has to handle sales and products preparation can be stressful

At the same time trying to find time to play games and enjoy it..and not just playing games to record

I've been having issues with the LGP..as my buddy from the BunnyTeam.net mentioned..I am having a headache configuring my mic to record my commentary!

The Avermedia Live Gamer Portable records the game audio just fine..it's the mic that's the issue..the LGP has an Audio-in and it not meant for a mic..once I enter ReCentral..under the Audio Settings..I change the Audio-in option from HDMI to Audio-in..it will only record my mic and not the game audio..gaaahhh

So then I tried..getting a 3.5mm female-female adapter..which then connects to a 3.5mm Male to 2 x 3.5mm female adapter..in which one jack will go directly into my USB soundcard which ends up with my PS4..and the second jack goes into my PC..works kinda like a splitter of some sort..

I test run playing Uncharted 4 Multiplayer Open Beta to test record using the LGP for the first time..and maaaaaan..I got good video quality..and my voice? Barely audible! It's like I'm not even there! Geeeee..wasted 1 and half hour of recording! (I played badly in that session anyway..and got disconnected more than 5 times..so yeah)

To those audiophiles out there..don't come screaming at me! I'm just doing it the cheap way..and it's not the right way..I know xP

So here's the problem..my mic is super soft even at 100% recording. I then boost it 10db..20db..30db..and oh gawwwwwd..there's this loud long beep throughout the recording..ANNNDD..the quality is baaaaaaad..

Consulted my buddy - Strifemare; who does music..and ask about it..he told me the issue is that the audio from the mic is being split..and that causes the volume to split as well..

As for the long loud beep? It could be an interference coming from either the PC or PS4/USB Soundcard..he mentioned one way to stop it is to get a diode that forces the audio to go only 1 way..

I'm like - OH NOESSSSSS..but I found a software mixer prior to his reply..Voicemeeter..and I'm gonna go home to try out something..

I'm hoping that Voicemeeter will take my mic input..and split it as it allows for 2 physical output and 1 virtual output..using the 2 physical output..I'm planning to take the 2nd output to push the mic audio through one of the unused motherboard sound port..which then using a 3.5mm male-male cable into my controller..as a mean to communicate with my party chat members..

Hope this works..

I've had a few more video uploaded too in between this post and previous posts..can check it out at my Youtube Channel

I finally played a horror game..it was just a demo though..but gawwwwwwddddd..it was creeeepy..they got the ambient right though! It's Song of Horror..watch it here:

I've also recently purchased Minecraft..I've heard loads of story and watched quite alot of videos..but I'm still clueless on what to do and how to survive..

I've played only about 30 mins in..need to explore more! Will upload more soon! Bear with me!

What else? Destiny? I've completed the Vanilla Destiny's main story..I know there are a bunch of side quests..but I'm just breezing through to get a walkthrough video up and running..hopefully you guys can just use it as a refresher hehehe..next would be the 3 expansions.. The Dark Below, The House of Wolves and The Taken King..

The guys at BunnyTeam has been bugging me to join their raids and other modes..and I've yet to join them in any single one..BAHAHAHA..sorry-lah guys! xP

What's new?

Hey there Maddies! Anything new? Haha..nope not really..but yes..there's new videos!

On the 29th November I was out the entire Sunday..it started with a track day at Elite PLUS Speedway Circuit

The track day organized by DS Motoroil and Wheelspin Event Management and was running from 930am till 130pm..I was there to help out as well as taking photos and videos..need to practice more photography ever since I've gotten my DSLR last year

They can be viewed at my Flickr page

Also at the event I helped show two drivers on my driving technique..and also at the same time gatal (tempted) laaaa..so had the chance...Hong my buddy allowed me to drive his car and showing him my driving lines..we used RaceChrono to time my runs and I managed to set a best of 58.5 seconds (which is almost the same as my previous best in my car)..I hope he can improve further

Jeet of Wheelspin did request me to coach Shiva..another Satria Neo driver..met up with Shiva and he was running minor engine performance mods but still standard on suspension and tyres..by the time I had a chance to drive he already worn his tyres quite badly..so I just show him my lines at lower speeds..Shiva I hope you can keep it up and improve..don't give up! And I hope I helped =s

Le gf is still in Korea..can't wait to see her again this Sunday once she's back! Glad that she's enjoying herself there (rigggghhhht?) Heheheh..We do our video calls at night to check in on ourselves..and getting a little cheesy..and I'm gonna end it here..it's for her and me only! Bleh xP

SO! Towards my Youtube channel..I've uploaded Uncharted from where we left off..also continued Destiny..thanks to the BunnyTeam mates Riot and Trish for helping me speedrunning the quests..here are the videos!
