This was awesome, really good job by Vinny explaining each component.

Stream volume was a bit low.

Awesome. It's funny how much I understood about the video stuff, being a sound guy. I guess in the end it's all just electricity.

This is really awesome and interesting. I work in live production from time to time and it is really cool to see the GB crew's setup. Plus, it has Vinny and Drew in it.

You guys are getting more and more original content. Soon you may be able to justify an actual DVD/Blu Ray release =P 
I'd buy it. Just sayin'. 
 
Seriously, though, this was awesome seeing the stuff you work with now. Thank you!

When it took a while for this archive to show up, I was hoping it was because they were fixing the audio. Really happy that was the case.

I hope the guys do follow up with more of these, it's really fascinating.

Man I am scared that the TVs on the set will get hit off their stand and break. It's like seeing glass on the edge of the table, begging to be accidentally hit off.

I want a video of Vinny shenanigans and how he does them. That and/or a Sherlock Holmes style episode where Vinny tries to figure out how to fix a problem on set or with the video recording. "My dear Vinny I believe we're not picking up any audio on set!" "Drew if you follow the cable to the audio pickup what do you see?" "...It's unplugged! Genius!".

This was super interesting. Lot more stuff to do than you'd think, which makes you appreciate their work even more. But I guess it sort of becomes second nature to them, after doing the same things over and over.

I love when a behind the scenes video goes up. You know it's great content when you watch the whole thing despite having no need to know how they do what they do. Vinny & Drew are just that good.

Very informative! Interesting to see the sheer amount of equipment being used, and what it takes to get everything up and running for the sites content.

Easy to say, but it looks like it could be a lot of fun (or horrible when everything goes wrong), but still, love it, guys!

When it comes to the volume of the live stream, I've noticed that if I mute and unmute it, the sound is louder after I unmute than before.

This should be a really good resource to point people to when they bitch about it taking a little long to get set up in the new office. They didn't come in to CBSi with any of this shit.

I love the behind the scenes stuff. Maybe we can get some behind the scenes on the bomb cast or the quick looks? Great to see Jeff goofing off in the background too!

Thanks Vinny and Drew! That was awesome to watch. I always wandered how much technical wizardry is required to make "stuff work". I'd certainly watch more videos like this.

Thanks for doing this guys! I'm in IT student and I don't have any experience with video or audio equipment, but you made a lot of things that would seem really obscure that I'd never deal with normally, make sense. More stuff from the technical side when you get a chance is fantastic!
