YouTube Dual Stream! No more workarounds needed. You can now Dual Stream your custom layouts directly from your stream software. In YouTube Studio: 1. Enable Dual Stream 2. Copy Horizontal Key → Paste in your stream software 3. Select Encoder → Copy Vertical Key → Paste in your stream software Both streams are independent, so your horizontal and vertical layouts can be completely different.

10 Single PC streaming tips: 1. Use OBS or Meld Studio over SLOBS 2. Disable preview while in game (OBS) 3. Nvidia GPU (P5 encoder or lower) 4. For graphic intensive content, avoid downscaling (use the same canvas and output resolution) 5. Cap in game fps to your monitor's max refresh rate 6. Set spare monitor(s) to 60Hz 7. Keep animated sources to a minimum. Use hardware decoding and set them to don’t show when inactive 8. Keep browser tabs to a minimum, don't play videos or have streams pulled up while you're in game 9. Use OBS stats dock or Meld encoder view 10. Always check audio/video before going live

Stream to YouTube in both horizontal AND vertical with full custom layouts! The default "Dual Stream" toggle in YouTube Studio automatically crops your horizontal stream, giving you zero control over your vertical layout. Do this instead: 1️⃣ Create a "Vertical" stream key in YT Studio (only once) 2️⃣ Schedule the stream and select your "Vertical" key 3️⃣ Start the vertical stream in your streaming software 4️⃣ Click "Go Live" on the scheduled stream in YT Studio ⚠️Start your horizontal stream first as normal.

Elgato Wave XLR Pro is the new standard for creator audio. Elgato partnered with LEWITT Audio to create the powerful Wave FX chips (one per XLR input) for advanced processing. Here's why this thing is next level: 8 on board effects: - Clipguard 2.0 - Low Cut Filter - Expander (much smoother than a noise gate) - Compressor - Voice Tune - Audio Ducking - Equalizer - Mix Maximizer Robust I/O: - Dual XLR inputs with up to 80db gain - Dual USB-C ports (host + aux) - Dual headphone outputs (each with 3.5mm + 1/4" jacks) drive up to 600 Ω headphones - Stereo Line in/Line out Near Infinite Routing Control: - Up to 12 channels and 5 independent mixes at once - Full control via Wave Link 3.0 - Seamless for Dual PCs, PC + console, Standalone mode - Pair with any Stream Deck (with or without dials) Other Highlights: - Zero latency monitoring - VST support + VST Insert - Auto adjust gain + Gain lock - All mixing and hardware effects processed on device - Compact design, hide it under or behind your desk My Thoughts: $350 looks expensive at first glance, but once you compare its features and fully customizable audio routing to other options on the market, it's insane value. Initially, I didn’t know what to think about the complete lack of physical controls. Then I thought about how many of my clients prefer small form factor devices tucked out of the way on their desks. It hits the nail on the head for them. For people who prefer physical controls, including myself, Elgato clearly designed this device to be paired with Stream Deck. This lets you customize and change how you control your audio however you want, and easily update buttons and dials as new features come out. Remember Wave Link 3.0 hasn't hit its final form yet. Of course, I get that adding a Stream Deck is an extra cost and makes it unappealing for some. That said, I don’t think it’s out of the question that Elgato could eventually launch a future version with Stream Deck buttons and dials built in. Obviously that would cost more. This Wave XLR Pro cements Elgato into the creator audio realm. Once I heard in the super secret early showcase they partnered with LEWITT Audio, I knew they were serious. I believe the Wave XLR Pro is SERIOUS. Transparency: Elgato sent me the Wave XLR Pro for testing and feedback before launch.

AI causes tension. Tension turns heads. I won’t be surprised if Meld sees some of their highest growth with the launch of Meld Spark. I commend those who take risks rather than playing it safe to be like everyone else. Be bold. Be different. Try Meld Studio.
