  • Newbie in trouble.

    Hello, everyone!
    I'm sorry, this is going to be another topic that probably has all the answers here on the forums already but I'm going to try and ask anyway.
    So, I'm a newbie YouTuber and I'm making gameplay vids, of course. I've done a few vids already but I keep getting problems one after another...
    So here's the stuff I'm using:

    - FRAPS ( Gameplay with audio )
    - Microsoft LifeCam ( FaceCam and audio )
    - Adobe Premiere Pro CC ( Trial for now ) ( Video editing )
    - Roxio Game Capture HD Pro ( 2nd video editing program )

    Anything else you need know? Just ask.
    So, the problems I have or had:

    - LifeCam "crashes" and cuts my audio and video records whenever I use it with FRAPS.
    -- When I stop my recording with LifeCam it shows only three to ten secs of that what
    -- should be at least thirty minutes. Compatibility problems most likely. This happens only when I'm recording with FRAPS at the same time.
    -- Now I'm recording my voice and facecam with a different computer. Problem fixed?

    - High pitch noise whenever I record.
    -- This is a new one. Never had this before this day... I wonder what went wrong? Suddenly all my audio and video records have a high pitch
    -- noise in the background and it's really disturping. Tried recording with my PC and the another PC but the problem stayed. Is it possible that
    -- my brand new webcam is broken? Probably not, since my friends don't hear a thing when we're in Skype, though they do start to hear it if I'll
    -- try to record. What gives!?

    - Other problems?
    -- Steam games tend to have problems, of that I'm well aware. Random crashes and weird launch attempts but I think I've got it all in control.

    Help would be appreciated. In what? In everything, I guess. I'm in need of "professional" suggestions and advice.
    I'm really trying my best as a new YouTuber (<-- Is that even a word?) and I don't want to give up on this one... It's just really discouraging that all my recording attempts tend to fail somehow. As if higher powers are trying to stop me from doing all this. :')
    Well?
    Why to stay in my tiny box when the big world awaits?
