How To Start Vlogging And What I Use
Hey everyone, in this video I go through how you can start vlogging as well as what you can upgrade incrementally as you progress through your creator journey to get to a point similar to where I'm at. I then share what I'm using to achieve my current level of quality and I will link everything below.
Around 11 minutes in I show the difference between whether or not you're using adobe audition. It doesn't really show how much better the quality is because I had little to no background noise and have all the other upgrades to my audio in terms of equipment. Keep that in mind. If you're really interested to hear the exact difference I can make a video going through the difference between each piece of audio equipment as I slowly add them into the process and you can gradually see the difference. Leave a comment if you'd like to see that!
Note that all of the links below will be for the Canadian Amazon, but whether or not you'll get this on Amazon, the names are all you'll need to find what you need.
