My audio and video production setup

I’ve been running podcasts for years, and while I worked on some video courses in the past, over the past year I have invested more time in my audio and video setup, primarily for live-streaming. After months and months of getting It to a point where I am “kind of” happy with it, I thought it was high time I documented it. Partly so others can learn from my setup, and partly so I can keep tabs on it myself.

Disclaimer

I spend a lot of time on making videos, and some of the product links here are affiliate links to cover even some of the time and money I have invested. If you don’t like affiliate links, but would still like to say thanks, subscribe to my YouTube or Twitch channel, or find other ways to support me on my website.

A vs B setup

I am lucky enough to have my own small office/studio, and naturally this is where I do most of my work. But I also need to sometimes do work at home (often interviews with people in the USA), where it’s too late to be in the office, and I’d rather do it home. I have conducted interviews travelling before, and while I’m doing less right now, it’s still like to have the option(s) available.

I call these my “A” and “B” setups. Or the setup that largely stays fixed in the office (A), and the setup that I use at home, or travelling (B). There are some overlaps, but primarily with software.
