Where can I learn how to Live2D rig avatars?
Check out Brian Tsui's (of Iron Vertex) YouTube channel!

Where can I find artists/riggers?

newbie here, I thought streamlabs was a donation mediator(idk a good word for it) but it actually is a streaming software?

>> No.6514624

Streamlabs has a version of OBS that natively uses their alert shit
It's exactly identical to OBS but is less optimized, and locks you into doing things their way

>> No.6514727

>>6514554
streamlabs is a brand. they have their own version of OBS that comes included with a bunch of widgets and shit. one of those widgets is paypal integration so donations are stupid simple.

but you can set all of that up on your own without using the shitty SLOBS by just configuring the plugins yourself on OBS Studio.

first thing to do is read the opsec guide and start on the portion about the dox sites if your name is out there. Sometimes it takes google up to a couple weeks to refresh their data so you want to start early on that

>> No.6514977

>>6514624
I find it weird that they advertise as simpler than OBS, for me OBS was simple and SL was the complicated one, i suppose they mean simpler to set up things like alerts and donos (My use case was just streaming my screen with a mic, didn't set anything else up)

>> No.6514997

>>6514816
>>6514938
this. but don't rush to try and get everything done. there's a dumb number of those public data sites, you can do a couple a day while you get your accounts and social media set up, wait for artwork, etc. you're not at much risk of doxxing early on since very few people won't even know you.

>> No.6515044

>>6514977
it's simpler to set up alerts and overlays since they just plop them all inside the software and give you a ton to buy or drag and drop in
but you can do anything in OBS you can do in SLOBS if you spend about 30 minutes on it

I had an idea. We could make a general discussion for viewer demands on /vt/. We could call it /vwr/ or /panda/ (because we want you to pander to us).
>interesting but why a separate thread
Firstly, because we need a place where viewers's desires are prioritized. The corporate discussions are only for reacting to what mass-appealing garbage they toss to us and /asp/ and /aud/ are for the content creators.
This /panda/ general discussion would be for our niche desired to be aired out in the open. If all goes well, it will attract people willing to humor us. If not, we'll at least get to discuss the state of the medium/genre as a whole and how it can better fit our tastes.

Nice small streams, but she's so well spoken and comfy. If she streamed during better hours I'd oshi her in an instant.

Anyone have good advice on how to avoid clipping when singing something with a wide dynamic range, or for balancing for a wide dynamic range in general? Even turning input levels way down, at my loudest, I often cause clipping, and worry then that the softs are far too soft. I can't try to audio engineer in real-time while singing, at least not effectively. I'm musicanon, not audio engineering anon.

Just recorded this, but the quietest parts are hard to hear over the accompaniment, and the loudest parts caused so much clipping that I had to apply crazy clip fix in Audacity to prevent it from being massively unpleasant. I'm several feet away from my microphone, so I'm not sure what more I can do. Audio engineering tips?

At the same time
>Bought 15 chatting viewbots for 1 week
>Then 50 +5 for each day after for 1 month

By month 3 I had about 500 chatting viewbots and 90 organic watchers

>From month 3 -6 I tapered viewbots down by an interval of 1 every 2 days
>By the end of month 6 I had 850 viewers average per night with 0 viewbots.


Takes money to make money friend. Not a single big name streamer ever made it organically except converts from YouTube who already had MASSIVE followings. And I'm not 100% convinced they started with organic viewers either.


For instance "bucks", a CSGO and variety YouTuber with almost 1.5 mil subscribers averages like 20 viewers on twitch. And he's been streaming every day for like 2 years.

By the way of the thousands I spent (close to 15k) the first 3 months, I make more than 1.5x per month since. So the investment was worth. I'm not even entertaining, but people are more inclined to watch a boring ass retard with 800 others than the most entertaining person with 0 or even 50 others.

Good luck

Viewbots are MUCH MORE valuable than followers. Honestly followers don't mean shit but I did it only to lessen suspicion of my viewbots. If you are only going to purchase like 15-20 viewbots I wouldn't even worry about followers at all. But if you go 100+ make sure your follower count is at least 10x your concurrent viewers or twitch might become suspicious and "look into it".

But then again they can never prove it unless you show it on stream. I just wanted to be safe and I had a budget when I started so it was already included and wasn't "extra".

The viewbot websites are pretty sophisticated. You can "purchase 500" and they will trickle in over a specified period of time, with constraints you set.

Like 5 pm start:
5:15 12 viewers
5:17 25 more
5:25 subtract 25 viewers
5:30 add 50 more

Etc and you can specify exactly how many and at what time they appear. To be honest though if I were to have only done 20-50 total, I may have ended up at 850 in the same timeframe anyway though.

Most categories I streamed in 50 viewers would put me in at least top 2. But you have to align your current viewer count with a category that only 1 or 0 people would be ahead of you in if I'm making sense. I had a lot to drink in a short period of time and it's getting hard for me to focus

Depends exactly what you're after. Custom BGM you're probably looking at around $.75-$2 per minute, based on looking up "custom music" on fiverr and checking a few results. Obviously, some of this is going to be terrible, and it's BGM, rather than songs.

Shizoku has a ~20 second loop of BGM playing at the start of her vids, and that's maybe a bit short - it's a noticeable loop, and not entirely smooth. But it's better than nothing.

If you want to get something high-end, you're looking at significantly more than the $2/second though, and then if you want vocals?

OTOH, you can get DMCA free BGM (on fiverr, again), for $5/hour, it just won't be yours. There's often sales as well if you're picking up more than one track. Never listened to any of them the whole way through, so dunno on quality

Anyone able to point me towards someone who does decent streamcuts?

Currently, I've been uploading mu (2-view) VODs to YT, and maybe shilling them during stream/on twitter. But they're just the video of me playing whatever I did during stream.

What the hell do you cut it down for highlights, or do you wait until you've cleared the game? I feel a lot of what I've got wouldn't be worth keeping in a compilation, but I dunno what to aim for?

I'm thinking I could do a 'highlights', but in a slower game, there's not many, and in GSG, it's confusing to skip around too much due to RNG. Other thought would be taking everything OOC, like the 'reframe trailer of [film] so it's a horror'

>> No.6532934

>>6532714
I'm not sure what GSG is, but with any game you want to outline the general plot or direction that game took, use it as your backbone, and then sprinkle in some highlights in between. And trust me, this works with nearly all games.

A singleplayer story game is easy, just lay out a few clips of the most important parts of the game so the viewer understands what's happening plotwise, and intersperse it with fun entertaining gameplay moments.

Otherwise a plotless game (typically a multiplayer one) can work in much the same way. A single round of a multiplayer game goes in a particular direction, it itself is a little story of what players did during that match, and a good match to clip is one with a roller-coaster of emotions and cause and effects. Show the important aspects of your match, like you and your team maybe losing, but then a turning point where after capturing some objective you're winning (just as an example). Then, once again, space out these important moments and put in some fun highlights in between.

What the viewer gets isn't just an ooc highlight compilation, but a summary of the whole game itself + the funniest juiciest moments. If you ever need to see some examples, I'd highly recommend watching Mr. Sark. He isn't a vtuber, but his videos are fucking fantastic and he's one of the best editors out there, and you could learn a thing or two about watching how he cuts down his streams into great videos.

If you're able to play games like FFXIV and not lose viewers you're on the right path because that most likely means people are there for you. I wouldn't push my luck with it though unless you're going to become an MMOChuuba.
Retro games is a good niche and it's my personal favorite so it's hard for me not to push someone to pursue more into it, retro captures all kinds of audiences, nostalgiafags, people who never played it so they're willing to watch someone play it, and people who respect cult classics.

It's not super well known anymore but it was my jam back when and I still think the music and graphics hold up really well, very catchy stuff.

>> No.6537769

>>6537218
Oh, I think I know who this is now..
It's good to see you trying out my advice from last time. I hope you're doing well.
I think that's a good idea, it's definitely important to have a game that people can see all the way through in a concise manner. Audiences can be fickle and missing out chunks of a game can be offputting, it seems like you've been playing some games for ages and if I was a viewer I would feel a bit burnt out on it, so having a game I can see all the way through would tear this sensation up.
I'm excited to see how that stream turns out, hopefully well. Keep up the good work.

>> No.6538020

>>6537769
Thank you for the support!

Yeah it's a dead giveaway lmao but I've decided to just roll with it; I'm here for advice to grow and if people find me here it's nbd.

I'll do my best too! I feel like I might drop Sekiro soon, it's a fun game but like you said it can cause viewer burnout a bit, and it's not much of a draw either. I'm stuck worrying that people will think I'm wishy-washy if I don't finish stuff...

>> No.6538263

>>6538020
If you're not that far into it I think you can just be transparent and say you're not feeling it. I think you can make up for it by finishing other games, especially with the plans of playing shorter games.
I believe that people will only think that if you consistently are flakey (one streamer I saw started 3 new games in one week and we will most likely never see those games be played again), and it still takes a few times for people to get really annoyed at unfinished games if they truly care about you as a streamer and not just the content.

>> No.6538338

>>6538020
I also wanted to ask, how do your collab streams do, you mentioned trying to do at least one a week but personally I feel like collabs honestly don't bring too much as far as growth goes, I think if possible you should reconsider doing them twice a month or even once a month depending on performance, collabs take a very precious day out of other things you could be trying to finish.

>> No.6538644

>>6538338
Frankly I really love doing collabs and it's a chance for me to flex my interactions with others so out of a pure experience perspective it's fun for me and it's also a learning opportunity.

It really depends on the collab to be honest; I was in one with a couple of other people which was a real low point, I was the odd one out and I felt like it wasn't very entertaining for my viewers, I couldn't match the energy of the people I collabed with.

On the other hand, I've had a couple now that I felt went really well! I clicked with the person I streamed with and it's been fun, even if I was extremely nervous during one of them.

I'm on vacation so I have a lot of free time, so I'm more liberal with where I put it, but after vacation I'll likely cut down to once a month or even less; I feel like I need to do my "entertain chat reps" more.

>>6538263
Honestly it's a fun game that I enjoy, but I also think it's fairly niche and I'm not attracting the crowd who enjoy it, because my gameplay's basic and I'm not an expert on it.

I'll take this advice to heart, I truly appreciate it. I keep looking at SullyGnome for popular games but it's like... Rust, Dota 2, GTA 5, Counter Strike and WoW... none of which I'm particularly good at so I'm not sure if that'd be interesting to watch.

>> No.6538698

>>6538263
You sound experienced, I wanted to check something with you?

If I want to start a game with an extended opening sequence (say Skyrim, Monster Hunter, Nier, etc), is it worth loading after that point, playing through it, or continuing with an earlier savegame?

I can't imagine anyone wants to see me jump in with a level 80 sneak-archer, but we've all seen the Skyrim intro /so many times/ already, surely seeing it again isn't great?

>> No.6539282

>>6538644
The problem with SullyGnome popular games is those really just take what the biggest streamers ever are playing and calculate it based on that, it's really shitty because if you were to play those you'd get dogged on hard (with the exception of GTAV probably). It's genuinely the hardest part of streaming is trying to gauge what your audience is looking for content wise.

>>6538698
This is a good question and it's a peculiar case. It's honestly all about you when it comes to popular games. Despite people having seen the intro to Skyrim many many times, it is famous, and if you were a first timer, people would like to see your reactions to it. However because you already have a character (and it's really deep in) I assume that you would know how to do a lot of things in the game already, and that might be a bit boring to watch also.
IMO you can consider two paths, either you start the game over and do completely different things, or if there's anything that is extensive that you have not done yet (like example you doing Fighters Guild would be 100% blind or w/e) I think that would be the way to go.
It would be kind of like how in MMO streams, people will just jump in because they're doing something they haven't done before, you didn't care about the gear progression, they like seeing things get done and you the streamer display your thoughts on such things.

>> No.6539384

>>6538698
Honestly you should play Skyrim for the lulz if you're streaming it.

Sneak-archers are the most boring (and effective) builds of Skyrim and everyone's see it.

Do a weird run and people might be more interested in tuning in, and as for the intro, if you can skip the tutorial part but still get the cutscene leading up to it, that would be ideal imho.

>> No.6539428

>>6539384

Thanks Anons.

I've got a savegame in Helgen, in between stepping off the carts and setting everything, so it skips the tedious cutscene but starts the game. I figured that would be a fine place to go, because everyone should know the cutscene if they're interested

>> No.6539580

>>6539428
Yeah to piggy back off what the other anon said, definitely try to ham it up for the stream and have as much fun as you can. Just be wary that Skyrim is a long ass game, try to set a goal so you don't accidentally fall into viewer burnout hell or flush it too brazenly.

>> No.6539687

Yeah, it's getting added in a variety night vote. I stream a few times a week, once as an extended campaign (currently Crusader Kings), and once is community choice. Once the campaign is over, we'll switch what game gets played for that slot, and continue votes for the other stream.

But I find myself with a four day weekend, so was thinking I could try and get two or three extra ones this week.

Problem is I'm in Europe, so my hours don't line up with the US base at all. I'm considering getting up stupidly early (local time) one day, and streaming from 04:00, so around 20:00 US time, but I wouldn't be able to do it consistently, so the extra viewers wouldn't stick around unless I consistently fuck my own sleep patterns.

Yeah honestly, it's much more important you find a slot that works for you and your health rather than try to squeeze in extra viewers. It means you have to work extra hard on shilling and networking to get those raids to get eyes on you but I think it's much worse having to deliberately wake up at 4AM like it's your job.

>>6523975
i don't know what your setup is like, so this is kind of catchall advice.
i think your best bet is to turn down the input gain on your mic/preamp down even further to prevent clipping. you can turn it back up in software. when you're recording, record and monitor with the compression on. for the comp, set the ratio so that you're not doing more than maybe 6-10db of gain reduction. don't set the release too long (will sound squashed), or the attack too fast (transients won't cut) or the threshold too low (will compress the quieter parts too, which you don't want). then redo the gain staging after the comp. just use your ears to set all of that, and A/B with a reference track to check everything sounds right. it'll take a few tries to get the compression settings right.
also, basic shit like don't move around.
if you send a backing track and raw vocals (no fx) with a wide dynamic range and without clipping, I could try to show you what I think would sound good. it's hard to explain in writing

yeah it'd be the same. sing with the comp on before the reverb. use the reverb on a send instead of directly on your vocals too. gives you more control over the sound and you won't sound so washed out.
the thing with the comp is that you don't want to bring up the quiet parts, it's to turn the loud parts down, so gain stage with that in mind. gain staging is extremely important for live settings because you can't fix those issues for the audience in post.

I'm not even arguing whether that's true or not, I'm telling you this won't work because you lack the foresight and managerial skills to pull anything like this off. You need managers and people who are professional entertainers to keep an artificial story arc like this going.

What do HAVE is a bunch of beginner newbies who will tire of this narrative two weeks in when you're not getting anyone's result because no one will document your "arc" for others to see, unless you do it yourself (enjoy the self-shill and hours of going through VODs) and no one will care about literal whos and them learning to knit.

nta, but there's general ideas and plans they get pushed toward, usually with input by the vtuber themselves too.
Character arcs is probably calling it too much, but for example in nijisanji a lot of the members are asked what they want to be doing and moving toward, and the company helps get them there. So if someone wants to be a sports caster, they'll be allowed to move in that direction and the rest of their videos are in support of that.

look at how people post their streams and just do that
>picture
>link to channel
>brief 1-2 sentence description of the person and game being streamed

and leave it at that, don't use 1st person speak, don't pretend to be a fan, everyone will understand and you won't have shouted "hey I'm from 4chan"
and if anyone brings up asp or wvt or 4chan you play stupid and ask what those are or change the subject

I did forget but you get the fucking picture anon
it's not hard to understand how to post if you see how other people also do it
you might be fishing for a small group of viewers but other vtubers browse and click new links they haven't seen before
if you don't sperg out and can take feedback without having a menhera episode you can learn a lot

Thousands of followers on Twitter, known by most of the people on Twitter, ESPECIALLY among the VTweeters.

Still couldn't even get *close* to triple digit viewers on Twitch.

Lesson: Viewers don't care about "clout" or Twitter followship.

Look at how many people follow Jusagi and how many show up to his streams.

that's just the curse of him building up all his brand and stream based around giving advice on how to audition and market yourself
chat full of vtubers is a terrible curse especially if your content is catering to them

What I'm trying to say is, it doesn't matter if the VTweeters hate or love you, it has close to zero impact on your viewership.

What do you guys think of collabing with 3DPD? Aside from Mori and Shit Taste I don't see it happening much. I want to collab with some nocam streamer friends, fuck rules about not getting close to males.
Layla is playing DbD with a normal streamer.

I don't dislike it at all, but it turns off a lot of viewers. I guess do it at your own risk?

depends on your audience
more mainstream twitch styles of streaming won't run into any issues with it
if you're going the gosling, gachi, or idol routes, expect some autism tantrums from fans but not a huge amount

i don't think its a big deal, but depends on audience of course and who you're streaming with.
for example, i don't mind kuzuha or other dude i'm blanking on the name do it because they just stream with apex bros.

tamaki doing it was super fucking cringe because she was doing it with herself.

I'll link to my twitch very rarely here but I'm never going to even mention 4chan ever in my streams. Even /asp/ is a cesspit that occasionally gets it's share of shizos and viewbot users, you're basically committing reputation suicide if the normies stick their head in here even once.
