Youtube Recording Equipment? What should I Buy?

[Bobby1234]

I'm looking into what equipment I should get. For a mic I see good reviews for the Blue Yeti, as for a game capture elgato hd has amazing reviews and looks great from videos I've seen Anything else I have no clue. Any suggestions? Please reply below on what I should get for my setup oh and I need a plug to plug into my xbox to my computer so I can play xbox on my desktop. Also, what webcam do I get? Thanks!

I think blue yeti is the best choice, but its expensive, I would just prefer my Phone camera, HD mega pixels, for mic I would prefer Lavalier coz its cheap, otherwise my phone's earphone which comes up with built-in mic! This can be used to synch with the video

I have the blue yeti and I love it. If you're playing games then you might have to do some noise reduction in post, since the mic might pick up background noise/static. But that can be done for free with Audacity. Just look in the tutorials section and you can read all about it. For camera, if you're just playing games, then no need to buy anything expensive as it will just presumably be a small image on the screen. Basically anything that looks good will do, even your phone camera. Instead of paying for a camera, put some strong lights in your face and light up your background, make the image interesting. It's more fun to look at a cool dude in poor quality than a boring dude in IMAX quality.
