Well you have a choice of capture cards out there, here are links to internal capture cards (goes inside a desktop) and external cards my personal recomendation would be an ElGato Game Capture. It is a versitile card and served me well thus far, but please do you own research and find which one you think will suit you the best.

As for editing software there are many routes that you can take, if you have a mac there is imovie which is good for starters, if you have are a PC guy then there a few more options (that I know of). You can go one of two ways 1) Adobe (on sale right now) or 2) Sony. Either is a great choice, I would personally use the adobe choice because eventually it opens up the door to photoshop, premiere, and after affects which are excellent editing softwares.

For microphones I would recomend either the Blue Yeti or the At2020, again both are excellent it is a personal choice and I would say the Blue Yeti because it is more customizable.

All in all please read reviews of all of this stuff and make your own pro/con list for each choice because I cannot tell you a perfect cookie cutter thing to buy, because we all have different needs. I hope this helps, if you need any more help feel free to keep asking away!

EDIT:1: formatting was made nicer

What would you like to know about the tech side? I occasionally make videos and have learned a lot about editing and the best tools for the trade and I also know most of what the AH guys use. For example:

• They use apple iMacs for their stations
  
  
• They also use Mac Pros for storage of video (mostly the old models but some have the new ones)
  
  
• Editing as far as I can tell is done with Final Cut Pro X
  
  -Not Final Cut Pro X it is Final Cut Pro 7 and occasionally when using a PC to edit they use Adobe Premiere Pro CS6/CC
  
  
  
• Recording video is done with the blackmagic capture cards Also I think Ray occasionally uses an El Gato capture card
  
  
• Recording audio is done with Audio-Technica AT2050 microphones
  
  So there are the tools they use but how the setup works is more elaborate so I will give a set by step instruction of what they do for a Let's Play.
  
  1.) They get the mics out and get them all connected to a single computer that is connected to the tv/monitor set up between Jack and Geoff's desks as seen in this photo
  
  2.)To record their audio and have it all synced together they use Audacity which is what is displayed on the tv/monitor discussed in the first step.
  
  3.) They get whatever video game they are playing turned on and also have their capturing devices started capturing (capture card info and setup here)
  
  4.) After all recording and capturing is on and working they sync their audio to their video by doing something simple like saying up while they are on the main menu of there game and going up on the menu.
  
  5.) Once all these steps are done they can begin recording the Let's Play.
  
  6.) After recording the Let's Play they save all the audio and export it to whoever's computer is going to be editing the video. The video however is first stamped with their name (lets say for minecraft) on the top left of their video and then exported.
  
  7.) The video being exported is then sent like the audio to whoever's computer will be doing the editing.
  
  (I'm a bit hazy on how they do a few things from here but I will attempt to give an accurate depiction of how it's done.)
  
  8.) From here it can vary depending on what the Let's Play is but for the sake of this lets say it's a Minecraft Let's Play. So all of the video has now been sent to Gavin (or Lindsay!) and they put the audio from the Let's Play into the video by using Final Cut Pro 7/Adobe Premiere Pro and the gameplay audio is also adjusted along with whatever audio issues there might be in the recorded audio.
  
  9.) I don't know exactly what Gavin/Lindsay/Whoever uses to swap screens but it is a program that allows them to watch all of the video at once and click which screen will be the visible one at that point of the video. (You could do this without the program but it would take a lot longer.)
  
  10.) After that they will trim the video up by deleting slower segments of the video where not a lot of interesting things happen (another long process). Once the editor believes it's good they will rematch the video for any errors and if they think its good they put the opening and ending banners (logo video parts at the beginning and ending of the videos) and export it one last time.
  
  11.) They will then upload the video to YouTube and either set a scheduled time for it to come out or if its late have it come out immediately then.
  
  12.) They start the process over again for the next Let's Play!
  
  Okay so after typing that all out I want to make it clear I do not work for them so their way of making and editing the video might be a little different but what I have written is pretty accurate to how they make a Let's Play.
  
  Here is a difference for other videos (achievement guides, This Is... , Easter Eggs, HUNT, Fails of the Weak, etc.) as well:
  
  
• They do NOT record the audio at the same time as the video. What they do is record the video edit it in Final Cut Pro X and then record themselves (and usually someone with them) while they watch the finished edited video and discuss whatever they need to about the video.
  
  
• After recording the audio it's a quick edit to add it to the finished video and export and upload it to YouTube.
  
  
• In these other videos they usually make more abrupt and noticeable cuts compared to Let's Plays.
  
  ...That's just to name a few differences!
  
  
  If anyone has any questions I will try to answer them! Also if I made a mistake let me know and I will fix it!
  
  

So I got curious and decided to look up the book that they're messing around with and found it on Amazon.

And this is its summary:

> Eros proudly presents a sequel to the wildly successful STRANGE KIND OF WOMAN. Mamaru has landed the love of strange and sexy Shion (and her menagerie of vibrators), but after getting caught in a fight between Shion and the hot and aggressive Yuki he's got amnesia! Mamaru is racing to find his way back to the woman he knows he loved. Meanwhile, a teacher who broke the school doctor's heart when she was a student has returned and offers Yuki a love potion to best Shion and win Mamaru and the price is only- Yuki's body! All presented in the traditional Manga right-to-left style.

Definitely consider the transmitter. Older models used to have serious interference problems, in large part because the wire connecting the MP3 player/whatever acted as an antenna in and of itself. Bluetooth models (and probably anything with a shielded wire) have fewer issues as it is intended to be an antenna so it doesn't interfere (think of it as the difference between a pipe that only leaks a drip rather than a spray).

I recently purchased a bluetooth one http://www.amazon.com/FlexSMART-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Hands-Free-Smartphones/dp/B003PPGOC0/ since my car's cd player has been crapping out and I am going to be driving cross country in a few weeks.

In limited testing, it works fairly well. I still get a bit of noise at times (I am in an area with a lot of FM radio stations and I basically drive toward a giant one every morning), but it is at least comparable to listening to normal radio. For what it is worth, it is currently outputting in between two other stations (88.4 in between 88.3 and 88.5), so it is definitely able to work in busy areas and can work a lot better if I could be arsed to find a more free frequency.

And if you would rather use an MP3 player or anything else that can't connect by bluetooth, that model also has a normal audio in port. And either way, you can still use your port to charge your phone/whatever since it has a USB charging port too (that may or may not act as an input).

This aircraft alone was about 300 or 400$ however you can get a full fpv setup for 300$ total now. Check out this video but I would use this controller over the flysky one. Also a great starting point is the Blade Inductrix because you can learn the basics inside and eventually convert it to a Tiny Whoop if you want. Furthermore, /r/multirotor has great resources for beginners.

For anybody who likes the idea but doesn't want to shell out that kind of money, I believe Amazon has a chocolate dipped strawberry thing for ~$20 and free shipping if you have Prime. I haven't used them, but it's a third of the price.

Apparently they do Valentines Day delivery as long as you order soon.

If someone tries these, let me know if it works out... could be good to get my girlfriend for her birthday in a couple months.

She also has a really good self-help book which I was surprised by because I usually just ignore those types of things.

She's a registered therapist and social worker so there's a looot of good stuff in there and it's done with a nice comic book flair.

Emily is very talented.

For a friday game night I would love for them to play the game of thrones board game, or ticket to ride, or the many amazing board games out there

After 8 years of audio engineering I am able to gather that much, but what is the mic stand they use? Brand and model? I have not been able to find tan arm like that after MONTHS of research. All I am able to find are the old scissor style with large springs (kinda like what we use in radio stations) I have a very niche case where I need a mic stand EXACTLY like this one. This mic stand has been annoying me. I wish some one from RT would post the brand -_-

BARBARA! AAHHH!! Haha no I had my camera with me , thankfully. I shoot with a FujiFilm X100T. :)

And thank you guys! I’m definitely not the first to say RT has helped me through some tough days.

Sadly, this is pretty standard for most cheaper purses. Almost every faux leather purse I've bought has strap problems within the first year.

That said, Amazon has some excellent replacement straps you can buy. I picked up these and they are super sturdy and have survived so much longer than the original straps one of my purses had.

Do not use that capture device. It's only standard def and will look utter shit or won't run.

For capture devices there's a few options out there some more expensive than others. RT use Black Magic's Intensity Pro which is an actual capture CARD that fits into your PC, it's rather pricey and records uncompressed footage so it's better for advanced users.

I suggest looking at the Hauppauge range of capture devices such as the HD PVR, HD PVR 2 etc. I have the first HD PVR model which is component only but it's worked for me fine for years though to future proof I suggest getting the PVR 2 since it supports HDMI.

Editing software; either Premiere Pro or Sony Vegas on PC and Final Cut Pro 7 on a Mac but seeing as you're on a PC the former applies to you.
Very expensive but there are "ways" to acquire them for "free" if you get my drift...not that I condone such actions ;)

Mic-wise; I use a Samson C01U USB condenser mic but I've heard many good things about the snowball mic. I suggest, though not very necessary to get a pop filter also to stop all the popping sounds or the audio clipping if you accidentally blow into the mic.

Watch a TON of YouTube videos about editing; it's can be a hell of a lot harder than it looks but once you learn your away around the software of your choice; you'll get faster and better each time, the more effort you put in; the better quality your work will be.

This should be said; all the hardware and software in the world can't change a bad commentator; be confident when performing voice over; get used to your own voice, you'll be hearing it a lot and make sure you always have a topic at hand to talk about dead air is the worst and keep all the "erm"s to a minimum!

Hope this helps.

Amazon for 160. Bit pricey, but its the best reviewed one I found.

You're probably right about the headphones

For Mics they either use the Audio-Technica AT2020, or different model from the same brand(the AT 2035 maybe).

For Webcams they use the Logitech c920.

Their chairs are DX Racers

For capture cards I think they use El Gatos

They used to use Alesis MultiMix 16 mixer, but they may have updated to something newer.

They're keyboards, monitors, and I think mice consist of whatever they happened to have on hand at the time. I think I've seen HP, ASUS, Dell, and Apple stuff mostly.

Let's ask Dave R.

In all seriousness, there's a pretty decent review on the UK Amazon page for the book. (it's the first one)

I was just curious about the book after hearing about it on Off Topic today so I googled "Jeremy Dooley Go Nitro" and well, here we are... I'm so sorry /u/jerem6401

Here's a link to his book, published 12 years later!

Nope, they use the Audio-Technica AT2020 or something very similar. I used to have the same one :)

> AT2020

http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT2020-Cardioid-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B0006H92QK

The mic is currently pretty cheap but you would need a mixing board to run it through as the microphones run off of XLR.

Dunno about the stands and pop filters, but I believe the mics are AT2020s.

He wrote and self published a sci-fi book called Go Nitro.
