  • 00:12

    What mic should I buy under $100?

    One pick, $89, USB. It beats the popular alternatives on room rejection, which matters more than frequency response in an untreated bedroom.

  • 00:33

    Can I light a room with a window behind me?

    Yes — turn 90 degrees so the window is your key light, then bounce a lamp off the opposite wall to fill the shadow side.

  • 00:58

    Blankets on walls: real fix or meme?

    Real, but only for reflections directly beside and behind you. Do the clap test first; if there's no ring, skip it.

  • 01:06

    Webcam now or save for a camera?

    Webcam now. Camera is upgrade tier three. Audio and lighting both beat resolution for perceived quality.
