My least favourite pass time - trying to learn software which is overwhelmingly complex and full of bugs! Joy :/

as Casey Nistat likes to say, it sounds like your recording your audio on with a potato! lol
just use open bradcaster for recording screen
honestly with all this messing about with software and audio, i dont think the camera pointing at the monitor is actually that bad. you can certainly see everything..unless you plan for the tutorials to be quite long i think the phone camera is fine, and it picks up your audio.
try obs. it has a learning curve but it's not hard and once it is set up it is amazing
camstudio is kinda crappy use obs instead it's way better way more intuitive
Lol massive.. Had a game installed today 50+gig.. Wel that's more massive in my opinion
In Windows 10, you can use "Windows game capture" tot record your screen.
Press Windows + G and you will get prompted "Is this a game" and click yes – then you van just click the record button land your screen gets recorded to the default video's folder. It's also 26/29/30 fps!
Use obs
The IDE is a version of NetBeans, maybe watch a tutorial on that. Work with netbeans for a copple of year work fine, but it's huge and heavy on your machine.
For your 'config windows' you can use tab's for it. The config bits with can you for example add as a tab to your output windows.
Just move the window and point the mouse at the paste of the tile you want it in.
And for reconding use OBS studio. Open Source and works great.
Why not use your normal microphone and just sync the audio in edit?
I am using CamStudio as well, with a slightly better mic it will be OK. Under Options there is "Automatically stop recording". I set it to 600 seconds because it used to crash when saving a longer recording. One more: whenever I use CamStudio and the built in mic of my laptop, I boost the volume and add noise removal in post processing to bring it to the same level as my camcorder recordings.
Assembler is the best way to put anyone off programming. I use Picbasic, Chip memories are bigger today than the old 16f84 so why put yourself through the bad IDE's and buggy syntax. Basic compliers are so easy to transition from and too C/C++.
Why do you need a USB mic? Why not a regular mic?
Or you could just record the audio with your phone as always and just dub it 🙂 Because this indeed sounds terrible!
And why didn't you simply resize the MPlab window to fit exactly inside the screen capture part. And capture 1080pixels 🙂
I may have missed something; but why are you planning on doing the tutorial in ASM? Microchip's C Compiler (XC8) is free; and for most things is far easier to learn.
Also, in the "Configuration Bits" Window, you can change the values in the Option or Setting columns, and it will update the Value column accordingly.. Also, clicking "Generate Source Code to Output" displays a window with the commands to set the selected configuration bits, in the currently selected language.
I've bought a pickit3 and the demo board you have and I can't wait to follow along. One thing you should do with your videos is publish your code to GitHub with the videos. That way people following along can troubleshoot their code against yours.
Why are you using assembly? Use XC8 compiler in free mode. Assembly is useful only in time-critical applications…
The joys of Windows 10
Julian, Would it be possible to for you to make a new bench ? One with an LCD built absolutely flush with the top of the bench. You could still place a mat over the top for when its not needed. You might also be able to place your camera( or phone ffs) at a set distance where you don't get that moray pattern.
