smb shows where you have the recordings "save location"
Same for adobe encoder
same for Obs
It appears FMLE (the old encoder) has 2 different ways of recording your stream ticking the "DVR record" box (apparently it didn't work for me, I couldn't find any recording anywhere and I saw some error info in the log, sucked because that long pvt had resell value and it was the 1st pvt after coming back from 3 year long hiatus!)
Now I've been using the "save to file" option but they come out without sound, this is normal for FMLE, right?
Do OBS recording come out with sound?
I'm kinda scared to try these other encoders, in another thread I saw that SMB was killing another poster's CPU, so after your post I'm thinking about OBS, if they have sound?

The regular encoder does record with sound. FMLE. I haven't had that issue.
OBS records with sound.
My laptop runs about 30-40% when using smb. When it spikes its usually bc there is something running in the background. Windows 10 updates fck me up. C922 webcam can fuck with me as well. I open the task manager *end task for windows 10* update and it runs fine. I keep "my earnings" page open and twitter.
When I use the c920 the cpu is 20-30%.
I run a i7 quad core and only streamate bc if i use another site to upload or if I open wondershare/filmora, my cpu spikes.

Don't worry about the cpu going up a bit. I stream on 4 sites and the cpu constantly works at 70 - 80% with absolutely no issues whatsoever. I used to work long shifts on 5 sites with cpu at 90 - 100%. These cpu's are more robust than you think. I don't use the SM encoder though, as that's really is a resource hog if you're working multiple sites.

I wasnt being condescending or rude I was being passive aggressive and sarcastic.
Im thinking maybe I need a break. I always enjoy being helpful on this site and offering advice.
I just love your sense of humor. :) Please dont stay away too long because you have been a very helpful voice here on the board. Sometimes words and intentions dont always translate the same to everyone. But that doesnt mean you need to take off. Balance is a good thing.

Thank you for the info! I think I'm gonna start with trying an updated version of FMLE, the one I'm using - version 3.1 - is extremely outdated, maybe this is the reason why I'm getting no audio.

You're right. When I said "killing the CPU" that was a bad choice of words. I was thinking more about the unpleasant, howling sound that the fans start to make. Different models of PSU/case fans are probably different, mine is definitely on the shittier side because it starts making unpleasant sound at pretty low CPU levels.
Otherwise I think there is no way for software to damage CPU. If the CPU's temperature passes a critical threshold (due to its fan being jammed with animal fur or similar reasons), then a hardware switch will shut it down and it's gonna keep doing it until it's cleaned, preventing any damage.

Yeah, I hear you. I have one laptop (Sony Vaio) that sounds like an aeroplane when the CPU use is still quite low and it's quite annoying. The laptop I work on doesn't sound loud even when it's cruising over 90%. It's always hot where I live, so the air conditoner and fan also drownout any residual fan noise.

I'm soo confused I havent been paid yet from sm and I reached payout the week of April 11th. . i switched to check and updated all my information.. but I'm still not seeing any updates on payment sent on the payment history? Shouldn't i be seeing something today (Wednesday ) or tmmrw?

I haven't been on SM in awhile but you should definitely be seeing an update usually on thursdays if I remember correctly. Absolutely check your payment details that they are correctly updated and email somebody Liz or somebody to double check that it is updated! They are always really good about that stuff

Same thing with me. Re-check your info because SM changed my state and I didn't even notice until they already cut checks. I haven't been paid since March. Oh and hopefully you have better luck reaching Liz or Vanessa because I emailed them last week and haven't gotten a single email back.

So, is your room topic changing every time you log in? I've changed it a few times and it keeps changing back to the first message I had. I save it but it just keeps going back to the old room topic.

I'm going to check back tomorrow, but can someone let me know when their pay has been issued. I'm really tired of this...and the fact that they keep expanding these 'contests' full well knowing they only throw them up when they're working on the site and traffic is shoddy.
ETA: FINALLY they issued it.

How do yall handle guys that keep breaking the rules EVEN after you have told them that mom or ageplay is not allowed? I've done 2 exc's with this guy and I've told him that we can only do step mom but then once we are in exc he keeps saying mom and was saying he was my "little boy"....I kept telling him that I DO NOT do age play and its not allowed!!! Is just telling him enough to keep me from getting into trouble or do I need to be writing it in the chat room just to cover myself?

I hadn't logged in to SM in a few months but yesterday I did and noticed I couldn't get the drop box that shows you the options for what cam and mic you can use. The SMBroadcaster seemed to work but if that messed up on me, I would have no other options for how to stream.
Do any of you know why it wouldn't be showing that?

I hope I will get my bonus. I made a new acct because of FCP issues, and the bonus is Ofcourse still on my old acct. Liz won't give me a good reply about whether I get my bonus.
My bonus doesnt exceed the minimum payment amount of 100 so that is the question.
Shit worried about that bonus.

Please can you let me know what cam splitter are you using, to work on more sites? I am using the FMLE with a Logitech 920C and I am also on imlive using a Logitech 9000 and that plus my VPN gets my i7 proc to 100% so I get frustrated and bored to death cause I cant even browse twitter when working. I would love to be able to use a splitter instead of 2 cams but I have no idea which one would be best...

I m using Verysoft Webcam Splitter, it brought me the best results. I m sometimes using it even if I don t split cam, because I love seeing myself big on my screen. The space where we can see ourselves in browser on the streaming sites is too small, even on a huge screen.

I use Manycam. It has been good to me. Previous to that I used Verysoft Webcamsplitter, but ran into problems with the new updates on Windows 10. Manycam will not chew up your system resources. You have to buy the licence (I think it's about $20 now - I still use the older version 5) to take off the Manycam watermark.
It does allow a full screen mode that you can adjust to any size you want. This is very useful for Skype that doesn't give you a decent size video of yourself to watch when you're streaming.
I tried 2 cameras once, but it's too confusing if you're running 4 sites like I do.

Great information, thank you. Is there anyway you can post a screenshot of what you're looking at on the one computer screen?
And, if you or anyone knows how to add that ticker tape crawl under your live feed, could you explain that?

I agree but I wish they had something similar for the members. I've had more men than usual lately say I should meet them in person and I usually change the subject but it makes me worried I'm going to get in shit if i dont outright tell them I can't do that.

I'm not sure about the 2nd part as I've never used a ticker tape on my video. As for what you see, you can see any size of broadcast window you like as you can resize it. I keep mine at 640x480 size as that's my broadcasting resolution. You can close the Manycam window and just keep a broadcast window open.
