I was pretty excited yesterday because a new audio cable arrived for my Mackie ProFx8v2 mixer. How and why would I be excited to receive a patch cable? Why does Fritz need an audio mixer, and should I get one? In this post, I’ll show you how I have my mixer configured, the pros and cons of a mixer, and what this latest cable allows me to configure now.

I’ve been excited to use the Elgato Stream Deck for about a year now, after much encouragement from other streamers to check it out. Now, I can’t speak more highly of the effectiveness and placement of this device in my arsenal of tools as a streamer. Its my MUST have device when I stream, and I bring it everywhere on the road with me to simplify my process. In this post, I’ll give you the quick run-down about what the Stream Deck is, why it’s so important, and some of the tricks that I’ve configured.

I’ve been streaming for 14 months now, and enjoying EVERY minute of it. The top question I get again and again is: how do you do it? what equipment, what software do you use? I had a previous post about the setup I use, but I’ve made so many upgrades and updates, I’ve got to share what I now use. Let’s take a look at how Jeff produces Twitch streams at the start of 2019.
