![]() Input 1 is out Soundflower (16ch) meaning a mix of all audio sources on our computer (which will also include system alerts, so mind your IM notifications). Generally you want volumes just below the part where the meters peak in red. Each also has a levels control so we can turn any source down or fine tune for levels. This software provides three different sources for input, and three for output (though we only need 2 and 2). We will make one more setting change here later. Note that I have also slid the volume to its maximum setting (just in case you call soneone with low volumes- we want max throughput from Skype and we will adjust the output volume elsewhere). I said most- Skype can be finicky, and you will manually have to change the output to strong>Soundflower (16ch) from Preferences -> Audio/video: What this means is that most applications will now send sound to this source (meaning you will not hear it from your speakers or your headphones). First, we want to set the default output for System audio to Soundflower (16ch) (the 16 means it can accept 8 stereo audio sources in a mix: This is what makes mp3 encoding available in Ladiocast Not needed anymore. Download the copy of the MP3 encoder library used for Audacity (or alternatively make a copy of the one you have).Its like a mixer of audio sources on your computer. Install Soundflower What is this? Its a tool that creates virtual audio channels on your mac – it means you can take the output of one application, send it to Soundflower, and then use that same source as input elsewhere.Install the 0.10.4 version of Ladiocast, not the latest one (a copy can be downloaded from Tim’s server) Not necessary anymore, you can get use the latest version of Ladiocast from the Apple Store.So I went back to Tim’s tutorial and repeated his critical steps. ![]() I then realized my Ladiocast did not have the mp3 encoder as an option. I had made the mistake of downloading Ladiocast from the Apple App Store, and tried a few broadcasts- it felt like I was broadcasting, but the ds106 autodj never registered in and also, people were saying it was dead air. So I got all of that working, without actually too much sweat the missing piece of the equation in Ladiocast is the lack of archiving, and here is my foreheadslap idea- I used Ladiocast merely as my audio mixer, and sent out the audio from there as input to Nicecast, which becomes the broadcaster and automatic archiver. I cobbled together the approach below with a combination of Tim Owen’s Ladiocast tutorial (critical for setting up Ladiocast) and Scott Lockman’s setup for doing his Second Life to Google Hangout broadcasts. The new thing in the mix is the free Icecast broadcastng software, Ladiocast. I still prefer using Nicecast, and do so for voice broadcasts or voice mixed with music (DJing)- but in the past I have ran into problems doing it with something like Skype as one of the sources, though I have mixed it in with the application mixer, the missing piece is for someone on Skype to be able to hear back what is on the stream. We suggest that you download one from our third-party applications page.Cc licensed ( BY NC SA ) flickr photo shared by sebastien.barreįor this week’s live broadcast of the ds106 group radio shows I came up with an entirely new contraption for managing different sources, in contrat to my previous methods of using Nicecast. ![]() In addition to Icecast, you will most likely need to download a source client for creating the actual stream.
