Help! New podcast crew in need of vital equipment!
13 years ago
strikerkingcheetahI've got good news, and I've got less good news.
dantepadfoot managed to track down four more co-hosts, all from the same part of SE Iowa!! While it's extremely exciting to have this much participation, it opens up a whole new can of worms.
We need more mixer and more mic to do the job. It's roughly $250 worth of equipment that we simply don't have, and that's more then my monthly rent and internet combined! Might possibly make it work with what we've got, but my confidence is rather low.
In addition to needing the stuff to capture our various noises, we're currently restricted to using my little ASUS K84L laptop with 4GB of RAM and a duel core 2.1GHz processor. While it's okay for doing most stuff, it's not so okay for broadcasting live streaming video. It doesn't have enough USB power to handle high end audio at the same time as the webcam, nor the processing power or RAM to record and edit video of length, nor the processor speed to avoid excessive A/V lag. Aside from that, it's just a laptop, not meant for prolonged heavy usage as required by the planned Strikepaw Studio projects.
Having browsed for parts on my favorite website for computer components, I've pulled together a list of hardware plus an OS which, while not perfect, should do the job. $700 is the estimate which I've come up with. Roughly equivalent to a little over 3 months rent.
And I have no credit nor regular employment.
I'm not sure what everyone else, our meeting was rain checked today, but I would guess that they're not in any situation to buy expensive studio equipment. So I ask for just a little help.
