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.

Work experience
Maintain multi-scene OBS configurations for live music, reaction, and conversational streams. I manage stream layouts, microphone levels and filters, and scene transitions. I integrate webcam and phone camera feeds (including iPhone/Camo workflows), configure streaming audio devices, and troubleshoot routing between desktop applications and broadcast output. I also explore operator-assist and voice-controlled stream actions, multi-platform broadcasting, soundboard triggers, and community integrations.
Independent artist-focused show producer and livestream/audio engineer. I conceptualize and execute live studio-style events, coordinating performers, show flow, collaborators, and on-site logistics. I operate and develop OBS livestream workflows with multi-scene layouts, camera capture and switching, audio level management, filters, and live technical troubleshooting. I route live and recorded audio using FL Studio with Focusrite Scarlett interfaces and BlackHole, supporting recording, mixing, mastering, and performance audio. I also build creator-oriented distribution workflows for Twitch, YouTube, Discord, and stream archives/clip concepts, collaborating with artists, producers, engineers, and videographers to deliver the full event experience.
Recording, editing, mixing, and mastering for independent creative projects. I prepare sessions, troubleshoot signal paths, and collaborate with artists from setup through final mix/master. I also perform and support live music productions, applying skills developed through long-term choir, band, and show-choir involvement.
