WARNING: This is not at all what our usual content is like and Art is definitely not an expert (as you will soon hear). We are a TTRPG Actual Play channel. Also, not sure how well this will play with audio only.

A Youtube comment saying Art overthinks his audio inspired this examination of just how stupidly he has overthought his audio through the years - it's a little disconcerting. Covers the mics and interfaces he's used and discusses them from the perspective of someone who came into streaming audio production with essentially zero knowledge. Maybe there's something here that helps you skip a few steps getting to the audio you're looking for.
