got some pretty bad hissing in this one and it's all because i didn't slide a single slider in OBS. quick tip if you got a focusrite solo, you definitely want to mix down to mono so that input 1 doesn't output in L only, but if you only mix down, input 2 and input 1 will be on the same track. which is you'd think would be fine, right, since it sounds fine initially. but actually whether or not you have something plugged into either of these inputs there's a certain level of hissing/static that you can hear. so if you were messing around with a $75 used stratocaster in decent condition right before streaming and so you had input 2's gain up, that hissing will be all over your mixed down track. so you gotta slide it over to L so that no matter what that hissing won't show up in OBS. now discord? they don't even give you the OPTION to figure that out, they just mixdown to mono for you so you'd have to use some other third party program to figure that out. so thx discrod. would rather mixdown to mono and boost input the way I WANT TO but who needs options? whatever at least I figured that out.

i also got hit with an age restriction which has never happened on this channel. if you're ever wondering why your video's taking so long for YT to process, it's because their resources are busy trying to analyze text within the first minute of your video to see if the frick word is present. thanks susan. or whoever's in charge now lol.
