Any resources for royalty-free music that can be used in the background for videos? The "royalty-free" music YouTube channels seem suspiciously rampant.

The most widely used one I've seen in my circles is DOVA Syndrome, which lets you use music for basically anything (short of redistributing the music itself) free with basically no conditions attached at all. You used to have to credit them, but they don't even ask for that anymore.

If you'd prefer a more focused set, I use music from UTALive's Virtual Sounds Pack, which is free for streamers to use (with credit) for streams and videos.

I've heard that these sites all provide royalty-free music for streamers as well, but haven't used any of them myself:

Thanks for the feedback! I will post here the next time I'm live, or publish a VOD once my setup is perfected.

1. I am not sure how to edit the video delay - I only see options for audio delay. But I will investigate and see if there's anything I can do here.
2. Yes, I am doing banter between songs. Even though nobody's watching! I will try to come up with a highlight idea where I can show off my personality a bit more.
3. Makes sense. It's tough because I can't really talk during the song, so whoever is watching has got to like DDR as sort of a baseline. But I do chat between songs and hope this can set the tone of the stream. I'm going for chill, relaxed vibes.

Hmm, what do I want to get out of streaming? I am a pretty high-level DDR player and I have very ambitious goals for my progress. It's plain and simple more fun if people are watching - it makes me feel like I have a crowd at the arcade. Having spectators makes me feel like I can push harder toward my goals. So ideally, I'd love even a small group of people to watch and be impressed because it strokes my ego and feels good. Even just 2-5 people watching with the occasional commenter would be wonderful.

If you're focusing in on DDR streaming specifically, it might be a good idea to take a look at the other DDR streamers and see what they do, to get some ideas on how to handle things on stream.

Also take a look at the categories for other dance games - for example, I see that Stepmania is much more active than the main DDR category, and just from a glance it looks like there might be a fair few people streaming original DDR under the StepMania category instead of the DDR category, something that you could consider trying as well.

In OBS Studio, you can use the Render Delay filter on a source to delay its video by a given amount. I've never used Twitch Studio and I've never heard from anyone else using it, so I don't know if it's possible there - most people use OBS or SLOBS.
