Hello its been awhile I've had to work as much as I could in my IT field whenever I have the opportunity in this recession, but that doesn't mean I don't have further ambition. Even though I had my hands tied I've decided to improve upon my streaming studio setup even further and save myself some time for when I have time to stream. by gathering all the industry advice I could from my co-workers, and bosses who are much more knowledgable in the field. To that end.

 

I've attached the completed blueprint of my complete studio setup I use a tool called yED Graph Editor that was free if you like to try it out it can trace the path of each node. you can find the tool here http://www.yworks.com/en/products/yfiles/yed/

I use 2 pcs is because I can not have too much strain on my gaming pc, so i have the streaming pc to do all the work encoding. this takes away significant if not all lag spikes locally. 

The reason I'm still using 2 mice to the right even though I have the KVM switch is because I need to have control over two computers separately for the recording tool off the streaming pc with the small monitor. The reason I'm still using the left hand mouse is for showing the skill of using both hands on separate computers for separate gaming accounts also at the same time. Either way when I switch over control to type with that one keyboard, the main mouse is in service for all computers.

The audio interface is nothing new since an XLR mic must use it to converts an audio signal to digital for recording. However since I would very much like to be able to use the same expensive mic, and interface on both computers for their quality. I've opted to set the record on playback on the pc that the audio interface goes into then have it output to the DAC (digital audio converter) plug in a 3.5mm plug to the headphone jack of the DAC, and plug the other end of the 3.5mm plug to the mic of my gaming pc to be used with my chat services such as Teamspeak, or Mummble.

The reason for the key cam is to show my hands on the keys as i play in the background of the Facecam. The monitor cam is not show in the actually recording on my OBS recording, but rather during gaming for me to see myself in center screen. to make up for not being able to see the streaming pc's live recording at the right angle.
