Video-maker Checklist:
Is your microphone unmuted?
Is your recording program picking up sound (including skype audio)?
Do you have enough disk space for your recordings? (Fraps files are huuuuuge)
If you're recording a facecam, did you make sure there's nothing stuck in your teeth?
If recording horror games is the brightness is high enough to show detail in the recording?
If recording Minecraft, is your 'moody' brightness level bright enough to show detail?
