I've been building and breaking streaming setups since 2021 — testing capture cards, microphones, webcams, and lighting on real Twitch and YouTube streams. I started LiveboxGallery because most gear reviews skip the part where the hardware actually has to work live.Over four years of streaming on Twitch and creating on YouTube, I've gone from a basic USB mic setup all the way to a dedicated dual-PC capture rig. I've tested 50+ products across capture cards, microphones, webcams, and streaming lights — always in real sessions, never just on a bench.My approach: every product I review runs through at least two full live streams before I write a single word. Competing products are tested side-by-side under identical conditions. Prices are checked monthly. No brand sends me free gear — I buy everything independently or borrow from other streamers.Areas of expertise: capture cards (USB & PCIe, console capture, dual-PC setups), microphones (USB & XLR, live stream audio), webcams (low-light, 4K streaming), streaming lighting (key lights, ring lights, LED panels).Testing platforms: Twitch, YouTube, OBS Studio, Streamlabs, PS5 / Xbox console capture.
