Learn more about me
Hello 👋 I'm Martin, better known as Martonic. I'm a 20 year old content creator from Sydney, NSW, Australia. My main focus is on first person shooters and extraction shooter games, but I love exploring other genres too. You can check out my long and short form content, live streams, and more on my YouTube channel, across my social media platforms, and on my website.
Frequently asked questions
I've gathered some of the most frequently asked questions from my community, along with the answers. In this section, you can hopefully learn more about me. I'll be adding more to this frequently asked questions section as time goes on. Let me know if you want anything specific added here too.
When did you start creating content?
I began creating content on Warzone in early 2022 with both long and short form videos on Rebirth Island, Fortune's Keep, and Caldera, but none of these videos are public because I deleted them. At the time, I wasn’t happy with what I had made, but looking back now, I’ve realized that you should never delete your content. It should always remain public unless you made an editing mistake and need to reupload it. It's important to keep it up so you can look back and see your growth and where you started. Also, videos on YouTube and social media tend to get views, even if they’re several months or years old. My suggestion is to push past your fears and just create content. With the launch of Modern Warfare II (2022) later that year, I relaunched my YouTube channel and started making videos on Warzone again, but this time I mainly focused on DMZ, as that was the new extraction mode that Call of Duty had released.
What software do you use on a daily basis?
I’ve been using OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) to capture my gameplay and live stream. OBS has plugins that you can install, and I’ve been using two plugins from Aitum: Aitum Multistream and Aitum Vertical. These plugins allow me to live stream to multiple platforms at the same time, both horizontally and vertically. For video editing, I use Adobe Premiere Pro, though I’ve considered trying free alternatives like DaVinci Resolve. However, I’m not too interested in learning new software if what I have right now works perfectly fine. Adobe software is paid, but it's great quality, and I don’t have issues with it crashing. For thumbnails and channel graphics, Adobe Photoshop is my preferred software, and I also use Camera Raw to slightly alter my thumbnails and improve them further. I use the Chat Dashboard by Colin Horn, which is a multi streaming chat dashboard where I can see chats from YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok all in one place. Notion is my essential productivity and note taking tool, and it works incredibly well. I’m selling a template on this website, which you can view by clicking here. It has allowed me to stay organized and focused on creating.
How did you come up with your username?
I came up with my username, Martonic, but it took some time. I started by using my real first name, Martin, which gave me a great starting point. After a while, I experimented with adding different words to the end and discovered that Tonic sounded cool. I combined the two, and that's how I came up with Martonic. If you need help creating a username, I recommend trying online name generators. Many of them can be really helpful, providing you with a starting point or sparking an idea that can lead to a great username.
How do the memberships on this website work?
You can join as a member by visiting the members section, where you'll find two options: a free membership tier and a paid membership tier. The free membership tier offers some basic perks, but if you'd like to financially support the channel, I recommend opting for the paid membership tier. With the paid tier, you'll unlock additional perks while enjoying all the benefits of the free tier. You can see a detailed list of these perks during the sign up process for becoming a paid member.
Can I suggest ideas for your videos or live streams?
Yes! I’d love to hear your ideas. Head over to the #content-ideas channel in my Discord server to share your suggestions. You can also upvote other posts in the channel to help me see what you’re most interested in seeing.
Who helped you create your merchandise and brand?
The kangaroo logo was designed by RedBeardMortis, while the hero image was created by Owxn. Everything else for my merchandise and brand was created by me.
