Astel Leda Previews Better Audio and a Cooking Stream in a Morning Chat

HOLOLIVE — Astel Leda said on Friday morning that he had just ordered a new audio interface, the box that connects his microphone to his computer, and that he expects his stream sound to improve next year. He made the announcement during a nearly three-hour *zatsudan*, or chat stream, that he ran while playing League of Legends, the Riot Games title.

He said the piece of equipment he uses now has served him for about eight years, and that the new unit is a harder one to learn. He said a fellow talent had offered to teach him how to use it, and that he plans to study it properly. Because it ships from overseas, he did not know when it would arrive. “Look forward to next year, when the sound quality is better,” he said as he wound down.

Much of the talk was about cooking. Astel said he now cooks most days, that his kitchen is cramped and has only two gas burners, and that he wants more cooking tools next year. He also said he is looking for plates to suit different dishes. Chat urged him to try a cooking stream, and he said he wanted to do one someday, though he could not say whether it would be next year.

Between matches of the League of Legends Mayhem mode, he asked chat whether anyone wanted to see his game screen, and he said he would keep the stream relaxed and chat-focused. He also said that next year he would like to try singing and that he already has a theme in mind for his activities. Later he asked viewers what they planned to eat for lunch and talked about a film he had bought a ticket for.

He closed the stream by saying he enjoyed streaming in the morning and might do it again, and told viewers that another session was planned for that evening, tentatively at 9 p.m.
