Okay now let's concentrate on things that a lot of beginner YouTube birds are concentrating way too
much on.
And it is and equipment.
They think that you need a huge equipment in order to grow on YouTube.
This absolutely B.S. It's not true.
But there are some equipments that you need to have in order to succeed on YouTube not just to succeed
in order not to fail on YouTube because there is some things that you need that will give you a baseline
in order to not shrink your challenge not doom your channel from all your videos from the very beginner
and I'm going to give you an exhaustive list of the things that you need absolutely need it as an as
a beginner like absolutely exhausted as exhaustive list least and we're going to start right now with
it and all the things that you need is the microphone.
That's it.
That's that's really it.
That's all that you need.
The good microphone is all that you need to have a good youtube channel.
That's all that you need to have a YouTube channel.
It's weird right.
The people out you probably thought that I would say Oh you do the camera you need a fantastic computer
all you need is something something something something lighting etc cetera.
Yes all those things are good although things are very very good.
But microphone is essential for the beginner.
We're going to talk about the stuff that you with will be useful in the future for more a grown up channel.
But as a beginner for the person who have not done individuals will have done very few videos.
The microphone is an essential thing to have and you need to know what microphone to choose.
Like you absolutely need to know how to choose your microphone.
Otherwise you're going to have some problems.
So let's just talk about the microphones because it's an essential equipment that you need.
You have the three types of microphones that you can choose from and you can understand what type of
microphones are with the pictures that three types are level your mikes their condenser mikes and dynamic
mikes like you don't need to get very deep into this stuff.
I don't suggest it to get very deep into the audio stuff because yeah there are things that are different
with those but you do need to know.
But at the standard level here mikes are the smaller mikes that is attached to a color condenser and
dynamic mikes will be absolutely similar for you but they work a bit differently.
You don't need to know exactly how they work but just know that dynamic mikes usually costs more because
they are better because they.
How can I say the filter out your environment a bit better.
For example on concerts and on the big venues that dynamic mikes are used not the condenser mikes condenser
mikes are usually the cheaper versions of the dynamic mikes and they work very well in well treated
rooms.
That's what you need to know.
That's all that you need to know between dynamic and condenser mikes level near mikes are always worse
quality than condenser and dynamic Mike because they're much much much smaller but they are acceptable
quality and because of their versatility I highly suggest to buy a level here Mike first and they are
the cheapest one of the bunch.
For example I mainly use for my videos like not right now but for my videos you can check that you can
Nixon channel the majority of my videos has been recorded with the level leer Mike you can actually
see it within the videos and the video audio quality is not bad it's pretty acceptable and pretty good
it's not as good as condenser and dynamic make.
Right now I'm recording it on a condenser Mike and it's a cold cleaner and has much more bass much more.
It's much more each richer sound but it does not mean that level here mikes are actually bad.
It's the cheapest version that you get.
You can get.
Or makes as cheap as 15 or even 10 dollars and I highly suggest you to go go for those ones.
There are of course much more expensive live mikes but you do don't concentrate on expensive ones.
Even though I myself use 15 dollar level here Mike and it's perfectly fine and I know a lot of YouTube
bears who use even cheaper mikes and they're doing perfectly fine.
But the thing is that it needs to be a separate microphone.
That's what you need to do it needs to be a separate microphone.
COHEN By level here Mike.
And then maybe you phone up the game and if you are merely recording your voice while sitting with the
computer then focus on condenser mikes and after that if you are you have finances if you have enough
money concentrated on dynamic mikes.
There is also a fought for type of Mike that I did not talk about which is a shotgun mike but a shotgun
mike is working mainly we're in junction with a camera with a well high end camera so you don't need
any shotgun mike at the very beginning.
Just concentrate on those three first and then think about the shotgun mike plus level here Mike.
In many cases is as good if not better.
And then many shorter than my 10 plus shotgun Mike's costs way more than cavalier Mike so constrained
a level here Mike first but you may say OK Mike Foley is done OK.
You are we will buy a microphone or you already have a microphone.
What about camera.
What about the video editing.
Aren't they important.
Don't you need them.
Well actually yes you do but if there is high chance that you don't have a good microphone and you need
to purchase it for your YouTube channel.
And there is even a higher chance that you already have a camera because you can use any camera that
you want and any camera that you have you can use the phone camera which is in majority of the cases
will be the best camera you will have for really a long time on your YouTube channel.
We're going to use any camera that you have any old camera you can even use a webcam.
It's not a big problem because you can make your webcam look pretty good and people will forgive you
for the webcam quality even though you're trying to make it look as best as possible.
Phone camera looks already pretty great and people will forgive you bad camera quality of the content
is good but they will not forgive you any bad audio and microphone quality people will not forgive you
that.
So just concentrate on good camera No not good.
Sorry.
Forgive the contract and good microphone don't Duncan straight and go to camera because cameras are
much more expensive.
You will need probably at least thousand dollar capital and in the broadcast tonight at this 500 dollar
cam.
If you're buying it used to top of your phone camera you have anything left.
That's from last five years.
You'll need at least five hundred dollars to top off your phone camera.
So imagine how big of a investment it is.
So you don't need to concentrate on camera at least at the very beginning of your youtube career.
Now what about a computer what about an editing.
Yes we can talk about this as well of course you can use your existing computer for your editing.
You can use any computer for your editing and most importantly phones are so much powerful right now
that you can edit your videos on phones and tablets.
Plus you're not going to like edit like exceptionally powerful videos at the very beginning.
You don't know how to edit and you will not need a very powerful computers or phones in order to edit
your videos.
Simple cutting is enough for you at the at the beginning because that's what the majority of people
are doing.
Simple cutting is enough for you and adding different tracks that's it like Ed video track or audio
track on top of the whatever it is you do not you don't don't need any fancy effects for your videos
especially for the YouTube videos and your photos and your existing computer will do just fine.
Don't think about this too much.
If you have exceptionally bad computer computer chances your phone is good enough because know usually
the phone video editing software is well very well balanced and very well optimized.
I myself added all of my videos including this course videos on my iPad or my tablet all of my videos
on YouTube has been edited on the tablet.
That's how powerful the tablets and phones are nowadays.
So that's why you don't need to concentrate on buying new rig for your editing or for your or for your
video.
All you need to do is concentrate on your audio first.
Well this will be it for today.
Let's just go to the next one.
