Since we actually live in the future, a live-stream can be set up on Facebook, Twitch, Streamlabs, or Youtube at the touch of a button and from the comfort of your smartphone, tablet, or laptop. But, if you're left wondering how the sound of other live-streaming musicians, gaming streamers, podcasters, or vloggers is so much better, or you have no idea how they get the lighting so perfect, you're likely to find the answer here. Luckily, high production value and a professional setup doesn't have to cost a fortune. For a little of your hard-earned cash, you can get a great USB microphone that can give the audio quality of any live-streaming session a considerable boost. If you want to take things a step further, want the option to expand, or just want more choice when it comes to microphones, then get yourself an audio interface. And, for the live-streaming performers that can't keep still, you might prefer a wireless microphone. To finish, one or more small spotlights could be added to the 'set' to create balanced and atmospheric lighting and, naturally, a great set of closed headphones is an absolute necessity for double checking sound levels.
