Wheelchair user here. Thought I'm also just a sad-o who likes staying at home. Missed two out of the three shows I have booked this year, though one of those was nothing to do with my condition or my aversion to leaving home. Anyway, there should be more of this sort of thing. Up with this and such.
Hey there - thanks for your comment! I am 100% a "saddo who likes staying at home" - even before *all this* I wasn't going out much at all (only for my own gigs). But I'm trying to get a bit more fresh air these days... I can only imagine the extra stress/faff/bother that comes with knowing that some people/places won't be helpful to you, so I hope the venues you go to make an effort to be inclusive.
I have no experience nor can foresee any need to put together such a set up myself, and still found this video fascinating as an insight into the sheer amount of variable tweaking and work needed to deliver that wonderful experience of live music beaming into the homes of all who would welcome it. I wonder how many future online gig givers will be citing this video as the one that made it all seem realistically within reach? Thank you, as always, for providing interesting videos delivered in an engaging way. Always a delight when my notification bell goes a ding-a-ling.
OBS is marvelous, blew the minds of my coworkers when I started using it on zoom meetings, flipping between cheapo Yi cams I have around the garden and workshop is fun :)
Thank you for telling us about your set up Laura. Glad to hear you ate going to carry on doing your you tube streaming for long time to come . Can't wait for next one
I haven't managed to catch one of your livestreams as they happen, but I love watching them on re-play! Even if you were able to come to the US to play, I probably wouldn't be able to go -- so your livestreams are an absolute pleasure!
Thank you, Laura! Really interesting! I'm happy to see you use Focusrite and OBS too! Great tips for not filling silences and not being distracted by viewers and their numbers (I'm guilty of this!).
You're welcome! I was way overthinking it, but I tried to get a balance between tech stuff (with links to learn more) and stuff that might be interesting to all. Let me know if you have any questions about any of it, and thanks for watching!
Yes, I really like them! I just don't think they're available any more, and I wouldn't exactly tell someone "get these for in-ear monitoring" because there are probably more specific and better things, hence not advertising the make/model etc here.
Nice one Laura. Interesting and informative, even from the viewpoint of an audience member rather than a performer. On the bit about looking at the the live chat, you also generally say something like "let's have a quick look to see what you're all chatting about", which (obviously) lets us know that you are going to, instead of just doing it, or doing it all the time, which is not very respectful of your audience I'd say.
@@Penfriendrocks I don't think you need to worry about looking at our comments all the time and if I can make a suggestion that you get someone to monitor the chat , they could take any requests that your fans ask for and liase with you , this is what I have seen other streamers doing
@@davestubberfield6128 thanks Dave! Glad you agree - I don't worry about looking at them at all some gigs, I experimented with not having a to-computer chat the livestream before last and noone minded at all :) once or twice Tim collated questions for me and sent them over, but it didn't make much difference so I went back to a simple quick scroll and a chat. I find people are pretty happy with me just saying hello, they don't tend to be flinging loads of questions my way during a gig. If we were in person at a venue they wouldn't be asking me questions during the show, so maybe that's why? 🤣
Ha I've just read the Penfriend Airmail, I wondered what those noises were.😀😀😀 Could the person who thought lovely Luna was ugly be related to the person who didn't want you to send them "this f*#@ing sh*t""?

This is so lovely to read, thank you! I wanted non-streamers to enjoy this too xo
OBS is marvelous, blew the minds of my coworkers when I started using it on zoom meetings, flipping between cheapo Yi cams I have around the garden and workshop is fun :)
That sounds super fun! I need to utilise all the cool stuff on there more...just takes a bit more preparation time...
Please come see us in person in 2023…. we’ve missed you!
Awhhhh you're twisting my arm...

Oh that's a very interesting note, Iain! Do you mean because it shows I'm not prying in on all your conversations?
