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.
