Hey friends, welcome to the all new Stream Report, a weekly newsletter from Gaming Careers covering important news and updates in gaming, streaming and content creation.

This week has seen a number of big announcements and events across the gaming and streaming spaces: NVIDIA introduced the world to RTX Voice, Fortnite's Travis Scott live event broke records and Twitch has expanded it's Channel Points options.

How many people might tune into a virtual concert held within Fortnite you might ask? 12.3 Million.

Those are the official figures shared by Epic Games in what was it's highest ever concurrent viewers (read: players) at any given time. 

Not only can players cash-in on the event with special skins, in-game emotes, gliders and special edition loading screens; they can also listen to the playlist on Apple Music.

NVIDIA just released their RTX Voice App that uses AI to completely remove background noise from your microphone LIVE!

I made a video going through several examples of how it can help eliminate noise from your streams and recordings. It did an amazing job with keyboard clicks, air conditioner/fan noise, and traffic sounds.

In the latest podcast episode, I talk to Bandrew Scott, of Podcastage, an audio expert who's built a whole YouTube channel reviewing microphones and audio interfaces for podcasters and streamers. 

We talk about:

• Why are the SM7B & Blue Yeti mics so popular?
• USB vs XLR microphones
• How to choose your next microphone
• Thoughts on the GoXLR
