How I Record

I wasn't going to post till tomorrow but I figured one more wouldn't hurt.

This post will cover:

• Programs I use to record
• Programs used to edit/render
• When I record
• When I upload

Programs for Recording

So on my computer I've only ever used two programs to record content. Camtasia Studio and Fraps. I've only ever used Fraps for Minecraft series because Camtasia would make my gameplay lag but for the most part Camtasia has been with me through thick and thin. Camtasia 7 would always give me problems but a year or two ago I acquired Camtasia 8 and since then I've only had one mishap. 

Programs to edit/render

The only editing software i've ever used for my channel is Camtasia Studio 7/8 . That's right, it's not only for recording but for editing and rendering too! Triple threat! Camtasia Studio 7 gave me troubles editing and Camtasia Studio 8 gives me troubles here and there but for the most part I really enjoy it.

Recording

The days I record differ. If I'm at home i'll record when my Dad is away from home or if he is asleep late at night. I prefer to record when he isn't around so I can be loud (Like when a death happens in a nuzlocke). When i'm at my cousins house I usually get plenty of recording done. I just get productive over there for some reason and everything i've ever recorded at his house i've really enjoyed. I feel environment really effects the video. I'm currently in college and every video i've recorded here I haven't like as much as others. My entire Hotline Miami series was recorded in my dorm and though I enjoyed the game, I don't enjoy the videos too much.

Uploading

My uploading schedule has changed countless times through out the years. In fact back in May/June I was uploading one video every 2 weeks. Currently it is 2 videos a week (because i'm in college) but i'm storing up on A LOT of Pokemon Videos so I may upload 3 videos a week this coming January. Depends on if I start recording two of the new series I have planned soon or not. Though I record and upload in bulk. Currently it is November 11th and I have videos uploaded for release up to December 12th ( A whole month!) and some videos that are currently being released were recorded around August. Its just easier to manage because I don't have time to record, edit, render, and upload all in one day. It's easier for me to record as much as I can. Upload a few. Then edit the rest and upload whenever I want. It feels great having all that power.
