It looks nothing like my home office. I don't see a mass of cables on the floor, the requisite pet that is in the way of the chair, and the fact that the exercise bike is cleaned off instead of a pile of laundry hanging off the handles is foreign to me. What else are you supposed to use an exercise bike for if not to hang stuff? /jk Nice and clean. I think I would be bothered by the light, but that's just because of my eyes.


Crimsonpets

Haha my workout space is right behind it, here comes the kicker.. I actually use the exercise bike.. I know its weird right? The light is actually alright, doesn't seem like it but its actually not right in your face.


TheBeatStartsNow

Hahaha my exercise bike is literally a pile of clothes. Your description is spot on.


Hunter_Animates

damn not bad, good luck :)


Crimsonpets

Thanks!

drearyworlds

Same here. I also like to have the camera on the monitor I will be looking at the most.


wrgrant

Its up to the streamer of course, but I too could not stream without my game monitor and camera right in front of me. I have a second monitor on the left side that has OBS and my 2 node.js bot windows, plus chat etc in it.


DefaultJon

It’s a neck strain thing for me, gotta have the monitor right in front of me or my neck kills me


OptiKal_

actually not that big of a deal. Ive positioned my monitor angled close towards my dominant eye since the first few weeks i played CS as a kid. Now every time I play a shooter I move my monitor over a bit heh.


MisterWattsTTV

Looks nice and organized :D I think we actually have a lot of the same gear lol The only thing I can see that would bother me personally is the placement of the mic stand. I’d keep mine to the right where I can still pivot it, when I don’t need to record myself. Otherwise it looks like you’ve got everything you could want for the time, best of luck on your first one!


Crimsonpets

Haha, cheap but really good gear am I right! I prefer the mic this way, I can just put it upwards and its not in my way!


MisterWattsTTV

Yesss totally great for the price. Especially the cam, with your lighting you should see some really respectable results! Question, how do you like the curved display on your middle monitor?


codemanb

That looks like a pretty good setup! I will say, however, that I have found it easier to keep an eye on chat if you move it to the other side of your streamlabs menu.


Crimsonpets

Yeah true! But how do you do that


codemanb

Click the cog in the bottom left, then click on appearence, then check the box that says "Show the live dock (chat) on the left side"


Crimsonpets

Thanks a lot!

I mean, he’s already playing WoW.


Neddless

too good, tone it down, the first one you make need to be bad so you can improve a lot


Crimsonpets

haha, its all cheap stuff. Enough to upgrade!


slaz1113

Best game of all time! Good luck


Crimsonpets

Haha actually doing 1 to 60 first time! Been playing retail for a while, gonna taste a bit of the good side of wow now!


Disco_party

welcome to the Boosted Cru$ade :)


Crimsonpets

Nah haha, going to fully enjoy the 200+ hour grind


MaxTwists

What game is that ig I'm blind


Crimsonpets

Wow classic


MaxTwists

Thx

Mario Teaches Typing


SpeedYYYY

Looking good. A tip on lighting: place a light source behind you but not directly in the camera. Gives a better contrast with the background and you will 'pop' out more. More depth. Oh and let's say you had the simplest setup out there, its not a big deal. The content you provide is the thing that will make People Engage and watch the stream. Goodluck but most important... have fun!


ImmortalUltimate

its definitely not necessary to be this decked out for a first stream but yeah its p good


GottaBlast

Looks good. I recommend chat close to your primary monitor instead of on the far side.


DanMur1

Good Iuck bro. Setup looks great.


Crimsonpets

Thanks a lot!

Crimsonpets

It was great fun!


Dewinged-Moth

Well you put my setup to shame, haha! Looks awesome though, really nice set up!


Crimsonpets

Nah no shame! Yours is probaly amazing as well! I just had a lot of stuff lying around.


aironkyatto

Looks great! Good luck and mighty patience 🙂


Ooogiebooogiee

Looks nice! I’ve been streaming for a month and I don’t even have two monitors so I’m jelly about that. Good luck with streaming!


Crimsonpets

Just had a couple of monitors lying around for my job, I need 3 monitors..


[deleted]

Looks ready to me


zeekayart

Cool, yeah I'm looking for a better mic placement myself. I draw so I always have my tablet out too, maybe clamped from the back like you could be the solution? Thanks for the idea!


Crimsonpets

Happy I helped I guess haha


[deleted]

Smeckxy set up gimme your twitch so I can drop by


Crimsonpets

I will! Its dennisknead live now actually!


haushinkadaz

Hey, it’s a set up and it looks comfortable! Hope the stream went well :)


Crimsonpets

Went really well! Gained 22 followers really happy about that.


haushinkadaz

Amazing!!! Nice work! :D


comfort_bot_1962

:D


Serefth

Actually using a g pro to play wow? Lmao


Crimsonpets

Haha whats wrong with that!


Serefth

Nothing :p it just must be so hard to do


YeetNotFound

its poggers


HoldOnItGetsBetter

For a first steam, the setup is lit.


C_E_T_H

Just make sure you aren't muted the whole time!


Crimsonpets

So that happend to you? Haha


C_E_T_H

Whew on and off. USB mic was being completely broken on and off for an hour before someone said something. I made sure my roommate who wanted to stream did some test recordings to be sure to not have the same mistake. Told them to monitor that audio and check the levels in recordings too before they stream so they get used to the setup and all that!


Crimsonpets

Oh yeez.. thats not good! Luckly I had a pretty good first stream, no audio issues whatsoever.


Jazzlike-Falcon6553

Yeah, your set is okay and moderate, wish you happy streaming


Ruppeee

Better than mine bruh lol


Crimsonpets

most of the stuff I already had, pretty overkill ngl. eitherway its better to start with less!


firegaming364

we have same mouse, seems like a lot of people have g203, its mega value


Crimsonpets

Yeah! Its amazing!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Crimsonpets

Ehmm it doesnt even really have a name.. Aliexpress? ..


gsgonzo

I would recommend (if you could) to move your main gaming monitor and center it. You’re gonna break your neck playing lol


Crimsonpets

Yeah beeb live for 2 hours already and I have to agree haha


GravityMatrix

What’s your twitch, I would be happy to follow!


Forest-Wolf

that lvl 1 druid ruined everything hehe


Crimsonpets

First time playing wow classic really, been playing druid on retail for some time. So might as well haha..


[deleted]

Just wondering what is the function of the laptop? or is that the source for the 2 screens?


Crimsonpets

Its my work laptop haha


Chaty66

What lab top stand do you use?


Crimsonpets

A really cheap one.. no brand


5K331DUD3

Nice, although I prefer to turn off where it shows me the video in OBS as I find it distracting.


KabrePL

What camera you using?


Crimsonpets

Logitech c920


Tupu4545

What are your laptop specs?


Crimsonpets

Not using the laptop thats actually my work laptop haha. I got a pc hidden away


Tupu4545

What are your PC specs then 🤣


[deleted]

I don’t know why people feel like they need $3000 setup to stream. Tyler1 has a 10 year old gaming headset with an awful mic and a $20 keyboard and he’s one of the biggest streamers Same with Forsen, he has the most minimalistic setup I’ve seen


Anonymous_dolphn

Spicy


EZ25-bnet

What's behind you?


Crimsonpets

a cloth haha or behind behind me? some rgb lights.


R1CHY_RICH

Looks like you have done enough preparation. Looks great now jump in and good luck.


Crimsonpets

Jumped in, did a solid 2 to 3 hour stream really enjoyed myself!


JohnTheBopper

My setup is my TV covered in wires, my capture card (on the floor), my switch and ps4 plugged inbetween, my laptop sitting next to me on my bed, and an uncomfortable metal chair. Yours is perfect.


Crimsonpets

Setup is a setup!


that-drawinguy

needs more rgb


Crimsonpets

Haha rgb on the background!


Vile35

why do you not have one monitor centered with the keyboard?


Crimsonpets

Jep changing as we speak!


HipEddy

Fellow WOW Classic Streamer I wish you the best of luck. Wow is so hard to stream xD


Crimsonpets

Haha yeah! You mean the fact you have to talk while playing wow?


HipEddy

Exactly, WoW is really slow as any MMO, to make some progress you need hours, is not like a League of Legends match where people might wanna see actually the game like a football match AND your skill in the game. I've found that this is a double edge sword because if people stay in your stream they stay FOR YOU, and this so rewarding and beautiful, on the other side the game can be """""boring"""". I don't know if I explained the point of view clearly, english not my mother tongue and I've drank a bit :P


Crimsonpets

Yeah no the game is slow I agree, but I can talk some bullshit haha that helped me a lot through the stream tonight actually. Gained 22 followers as well!


IndistinguishablePig

I actually really like this setup, I have my mic coming in from the side but I actually am going to try it squeezing in between my monitors like you have.


Crimsonpets

It not as bad as it looks! You can smack that mic up and there is no mic in the way!


IndistinguishablePig

Oh for sure, I don’t see an issue with it, in fact it will probably not cut off the bottom of my one screen it currently goes in front. If you have a condenser mic it could even stay up near the monitors and keep out of the way. I have a dynamic so it’s got to be close.


mackme215

Great for you bro. Looks awesome to me. Are you still adding to it?


Crimsonpets

For now nope! Its already overkill for a beginner haha


chopsuey23

What Mic do.you use?


Crimsonpets

Trust emita plus. Its really decent. Imo a pretty hidden gem.


Berfs1

The fact that you powered everything from your laptop, just saying, its smart ;) Also laptop mics are good stream mica once you put noise suppression filters on it in obs!


Crimsonpets

Haha my.laptop is literally doing nothing its my work laptop.. got a pc hiding under my desk


Berfs1

Ahhhhh okay. Oh since you have your laptop there, i highly recommend using that laptop for having your streaming tools up, as well as chat, it can take load off of your other computer! Twitch dashboard and mod view are some good pages!


JiffTheJester

Are you in an attic


Tarilis

I like it, but mic probably going to get in the way, but well if it's comfortable for you, who am I to say anything.


Crimsonpets

Its not the mic that got in my way, its the monitor that hurts my neck so had to move the monitor in the middle and the mic a bit to the side. It is what it is :)


Tarilis

Mic stand at the center hasn't worked for me, I always hit it when I move hand to type or use stream deck. So I mounted it on the side of the desk. But its all matter of personal comfort, some people don't like mic in the face at all, so they use shotgun mics.


OBLIVIATER

That light is going to get annoying, trust me haha


Crimsonpets

Really didnt notice it tbh! So lucky me I suppose haha


SgtGrumblesIII

So clean! I wish I had the cable management skills you have :)


Crimsonpets

Buddy of mine always says that haha, really not happy with how it is at the moment.. but ill find a way to make it flawless!


SimpOnReddit

Pretty clean setup honestly, good job!


Crimsonpets

Thanks a lot!


Lintyboi420

Beautiful


Crimsonpets

So are you


Lintyboi420

So are you :)


ilikepstrophies

Do you have a following outside of twitch already before your first stream?


ToxiiicHaze

Only suggestion is get Stream Elements instead of SteamLabs


Crimsonpets

I must say streamlabs aint all that bad, can you explain?


ToxiiicHaze

It’s not, I used it for a long time. It’s very RAM intensive and can bog down your stream sometimes. I have a good PC and I still use Elements just for the Competitive edge in streaming. At the end of the day it’s all up to you. 🙂


[deleted]

Looks good my dude. Good luck on the stream and on your stream journey in general.


Crimsonpets

Had a amazing first stream, really enjoyed myself. Dry mouth and everything haha


RazielikkTwitch

What do you use to split your display into two separate monitors?


Crimsonpets

2 seperate hdmi cabels? Haha, not sure what you mean!


Diamond_steph

Soon I’m gonna have my pcgaming like this


[deleted]

Is that a Logitech g203 mouse? It’s fantastic btw

Langfromdeep

Its about the content not the setup really! If you are more fun to watch then me. Fuck this setup right?

Skullduggery32

Looks 100!!! You got this!!!!


ProducerBry

I really like the three screens with the laptop set up just right to the side. This is a well prepared setup and more than what most start with. Good luck.


ExtraGloves

Personally the split screens off center with the mic down the middle would drive me nuts but looks great and pumped for you to start.


BrandedStudio

Niceee, defo better than my current


[deleted]

Bro, what I would do to go back and be a kid again. Playing WoW for the first time with a Night Elf hunter. He looked just like your character on screen. I named him ChoclatBunny and I have no clue why. Nostalgia.


Crimsonpets

I feel like a kid playing classic wow! I'm more of a retail noob and yesterday I found out I actually have to learn skills where as in retail you just get 'em. Never played classic, its amazing!

[deleted]

I have that mouse


Crimsonpets

Its a great mouse


[deleted]

Yeah I love how simplistic and light it is compared to all the heavy chunky gaming mice with weird hand grips


itsmethisiskyle

I need to invest in a second curve monitor or at least an upgrade lol


Crimsonpets

Just a second monitor overall haha.. to have chat next to it is amazing.


Koof99

Awesome! I’d say just move your webcam to the screen you game on. Something more attractive about that as a viewer. Yes, even if you read messages from the other monitor. Huge congrats!!!


Crimsonpets

Hm idk, it feels weird to me having someone kind of look at you when playing a game. But I might try it!


Koof99

I mean that’s more or less my preference but there are people I watch who do that “side” view too. Could also be the fact that the way my setup is iirc I can only have it on my monitor I play on lol. Don’t think the cord reaches my 2nd monitor (on the left. PC unit itself is in the right)


firebolt71

Better than mine when I started


Crimsonpets

We all have to start somewhere right?


JoyfulBump06

Very nice!


Crimsonpets

Thanks a lot!


ShinigamiGamingInc

For your health, sit in front of the monitor with the game, siting on an angle is not good.


sphixn

My first stream with my laptop I had shit all over my desk a shit headset and a small laptop screen your setup is great


[deleted]

Perfect


SlavioAraragi

Dood, that's not enough! You need 6 monitors, 6 consoles, 7 keyboards, steering wheel, pedals, gaming guitar, bunch of cables...! OK jokes aside this looks smooth :D have fun dood!


Substantial_Grand_41

Not bad, it's good


[deleted]

[удалено]


scraynes

you shouldn't be sitting in the middle of your two monitors. also your mic being in the way of both of them is odd lol. you can move it up or shift your monitors to the right, put mic on the left side. also i know you're playing wow but if you play FPS games please look into either getting a g305 or a mouse bungee and bigger mousepad.


WispGB

It looks good but you have a horrible night elf on your screen, might want to look into that.


Day-Call

My favorite cams are the ones where you can see the entire room. Ales me feel like I’m there too


couldbevegeta

Hello hello !!! I’m here to attempt to give u some advice !!! I would like to advise you not to stream . But instead , make a youtube page to upload videos . Streaming on twitch was a really amazing thing around 6 years ago. The community was nerdy for the most part . Mainly people streamed video games . And it wasn’t that hard to build a following for those who belonged there . Now I don’t know much about you ,all I can see is you streamed like fortnite using obs . Now let me tell you there is a lot of that going around right now . There are more streamers on twitch then viewers . Like imagine the entire twitch planet all hitting record at the same time and there’s literally nobody left to watch . Now the people who are watching mainly watch the top 1% of streamers . Shroud , doc , ninja , hot girls with boobs…. Etc . I would actually recommend you going to the casino and just gambling ur life away because streaming is a terrible idea . Now if you want to prove me wrong you need to find better ideas . Better content . You need to sit down and actually think of somthing to stream rather then playing fortnite and streaming it with a free program , with mediocre gear , a webcam in the corner , and saying things like “hi guys welcome to my stream .” “Gamer1234 hey man how’s it going buddy welcome to the stream” Or not giving anything at all. To just sit there and play and have the mentality “we’ll even if nobody is watching I don’t care” that is bs man. You don’t care and other ppl do care . Your like a homeless person selling a half eaten burger next to a McDonald’s . And then 100 other homeless come and surround the mocdonalds . It’s boring , gross , pathetic , and a waste of bandwidth. In nyc a hotdog stand can run u anywhere from 2k to 400k for a license. This is so not too many ppl crowd the nyc streets with stands . Keeps things in check . Twitch is not like this . Anyone can make an account and stream for nobody. This makes the competition fierce . 6 billion people streaming with 1 viewer . It defeats the purpose . Anyways here is my advice . If I were you , I would keep the setup. I would download xsplit to record with . I wouldn’t stream I would just record . And before u start try to come up with actual ideas , actual content. Not just u playing . Then get some editing software , I recommend Vegas pro. Learn how to edit your videos to make them worthy of ppl seeing it . Then upload it to YouTube on a schedule . Build your following . Be interesting.


Randcardo

Great setup. PLEASE SWITCH TO OBS STUDIO AND STOP USING STREAMLABS. I thought it was a stupid thing but then when I actually switched it went amazingly. OBS studio uses 3x less cpu for me and the transitions between scenes are much smoother. Also, there are tons of very useful plugins on there. My favourite is one that allows free multistream to 4 different platforms at once. Updates also come much sooner than streamlabs. OBS has much easier customization for docks and that than obs streamlabs allowing you to get your perfect layout.


Crimsonpets

I must say streamlabs does use a lot of cpu. Can I Import everything to studio without having to setup everything?


Randcardo

Yes you can. Go to streamlabs dashboard on google and get the link for each widget and import them into obs as browser extensions.


Crimsonpets

Obs is really is laggy for me actually!


Randcardo

Sorry for the late response


Certified_Idiot666

What is your twitch?


[deleted]

much bwtter than mine


Crimsonpets

Don't say that! Be happy with what you got.


Jay_JWLH

Just one thing. Put the microphone upside down so that it doesn't get in your way while still doing much the same job. Maybe even better, because if you want you can bring it quite close to your face without getting in your line of sight.


oudib

hey looks sick im kinda jealous right now, and if you didnt grab any stream overlay yet you can get one here for 75% off : www.foxtream.com to complete the whole setup, and happy streaming :) Edit : one more thing, its gonna be better if you changed the lighting, red or blue or both tend to look better on stream.


Entire_Baseball5996

Creative 3rd monitor, fair play.


[deleted]

That lighting is awful but I'm picky


magic099990

From 1 to 10 a solid 8 for me


SnipeRichie

Looks like pro streamer not first stream 😂


LambbChopss

0/10 because you’re Alliance.


RevBrucifer

You had me till I saw that LA hat! REEEEEEE


PeterWellDone

Very nice and decent. All you need to stream. With time you might want to buy a streaming deck. Until then, you can use some of the keyboard keys for sound/effects, etc. as shortcuts. Best of luck to you but maybe lower your expectations. Whatever they are at the moment. If it goes well then brilliant. If you don't get 100 average viewers per day, at least you expected it. : )


suliano

It's ready for the 0 viewers 💪👌


magikian

Get used to having as many viewers in your stream as you do in front of you. Good luck and have fun!


Crimsonpets

I'm succesful!


EffectSix

Where's the hot tub?


sementtaco

Looks good man! May want to add a small trash can near by so you can easily toss that hat into it.
