Music-making livestream?

[Chrisk]

Hey guys.
I just wanted to ask if some people are interested in watching a music-making livestream.

I'll work on some ambient soundtracks during the next weekend so if you are interested in how they are made, just tell me. All I need atm is a good streaming software for mac osx, because I got no idea how to stream on a mac.

 

[Perdemot]

I want to see how you do it

 

[glasz]

I'd love to see it

 

[Cervator]

I'd be interested, but then I'd be up for jumping on to just about anything if I'm around and have time for it

 

[Nym Traveel]

Not sure if I have time watching it, but definately interested!

 

[HeadClot]

I am interested

I finally installed a streaming software and signed up to livestream.com. The only problem now is, that my music program outputs the sound directly to my speakers so the recording software doesn't record that.

I switched the audio output to the recording software and it seems to work, but the recording software outputs my sound with about 500ms delay so I can't play live, because my ears automatically try to match the tempo I hear during my speakers.

Is there a software for mac out there, that can redirect audio into 2 different audio drivers? I think I could turn off the audio output from my recording software, but I wouldn't hear anything while playing. I'm using Reason 5 and the Livestream.com Procaster software.

Use twitch.tv and their program they use to stream. It works quite nice.

Yeah, but supposedly not for Macs

A quick search on "MacOS" on their forum reveals multiple frustrated users with similar issues and no obvious software choices.

That's why I don't like Macs, 1. They're over expensive, 2. They like to freeze whenever you're doing important work at school and stuff like that. 3. There's not a lot of programs compatible with them, 4. They're not meant for gaming.

It's not the best quality, but I think it's ok I hooked up the livestreaming software to my microphone and recorded the speakers sound through that.

I should put the microphone a little bit away from my piano, because the keys are definitely too loud. Is it ok for a music making livestream?

 

[Cervator]

Quality seems fine to me, tools are nice and clear, although yeah maybe mic placement can be improved slightly

The site makes me a little suspicious about how nagging they're going to be - can't view a stream without signing up for an account, unless the host has a paying account. I'll reserve judgement there till I get a feel for how much they're going to hit my inbox

 

[Chrisk]

I think you can actually watch a stream without signing up, but you can't watch archived videos as a guest I could do a stream this weekend, what time would be good?

 

[Cervator]

Saturday sometime - I should be available most the time, so counting time zones that's from mid-afternoon till evening Euro time. Sunday is a little more sketchy
