![]() You then just use the cross fade button to smooth between your voice (Source) and music (Application). You can monitor by running Nicecast through the built-in server Note that once an app hijacked, you cannot hear itunes when you play it there- you have to use the Release button to let that control go. It typically makes you quit/relaunch iTunes. You have to remember to click the Hijack button, so Nicecast can use it (see? You do not need extra software!). This allows you (via the editor button shown above) to select the application you want to mix in, for me it is iTunes. The key, key, key one is that application mixer. So I can set up crazy reverb and space effects, and flip them on and off as needed. The knobs allow you to control the in/out volumes (they are tricky to turn with a mouse)- the docs recommend keeping them in the middle.Ī key feature is the bypass button- this allows you to turn effects on/off. ![]() For each, there is usually an Editor window that lets you play with sliders to control the effect. I’ve used the Reverb as well as some distortion effects. I cannot tell you what they all do- experiment! (using built in server). There are a lot to choose from (see the Nicecast manual Effects Index for a run down). Anywhere you click on a square allows you to add an effect (select from t e menu from the top of the widget). The green line is the path of your source- (Voice for me). The Wet/Dry mix lets you control how much of the effects are applied to your source (in my case audio)- if you build something elaborate, you can make the effects go away by flipping to the dry side- in my case, it’s all Wet.Īnd it is always worth turning on the levels display. You can bump up the total gain with the top widget (which is why I may have been blasting at 200%- there is a quick mute button if you need it). You definitely want to have phones to monitor your output as you stream, even if there is echo. If I am the only voice, then I just use my USB headset if in the case when I broadcast with Bryan Alexander, I used the built in mic on my MacBookPro (which also created more room like effects), but plugged the speaker end of my headsets into the headphone jack (I have a Sennheiser that allows my to use USB or just the plugs). You must set up headphones to monitor the output- do not leave your speakers open, unless you want to stream bone breaking feedback. This is cleaner than trying to manually switching songs. In iTunes, I create a playlist for the audio I want to use- this would be if you want to DJ, or a list of creepy sounds you want to use. ![]() This guide covers how to set it up when you want to mix, say audio and music, as I have used for Scary Stories from Stawberry.Īnd I am not an expert! I defer to a real one on sound software. Streaming music from your computer is easy if you use Nicecast to stream from an application (say iTunes). This is not going to be a comprehensive guide to Nicecast- actually their built in help is rather detailed, and it is where I went to school. ![]() With the zaniness of free form live broadcasting in the ds106 radio space, people are sorting out the various live streaming tools and learning as we go. I’m a huge fan of Rogue Amoeba’s streaming software for OS X, Nicecast, and have used it before for broadcasting for projects at NMC. ![]()
