About

I’m James Heidmann, a livestream and live-event technical producer based in Cleveland, Ohio. Since 2019, I’ve built creator-first production workflows in OBS for Twitch and YouTube—handling scene switching, camera sourcing (including phone integrations), audio routing, monitoring, and troubleshooting—so streams and on-site events run smoothly.

My background is rooted in music education and performance, which carries into how I produce: I’m comfortable coordinating artists, managing show flow, and getting the audio and timing right. I also work on recording, mixing, and mastering using tools like FL Studio and Focusrite interfaces, and I’ve been growing independent show formats and content distribution across Twitch, YouTube, and Discord.
