Need help setting up a live show..
Posted: Mon Apr 29, 2019 2:15 am
I'm thinking of starting up a live show where I will play music and talk to guests, all streamed over the net. To do this I'm going to need some software and a service to stream to. I could do with some suggestions from any of you that're experienced with this stuff.
Website to stream my show to (preferably with a good privacy policy)
Needs:
* To be able to stream for at least a couple hours with a free account.
* Anyone should be able to come along and listen without needing an account or having to download anything.
* Ability for everyone to chat on the stream (preferably without needing an account).
Software to stream/mix from
Needs:
* Ability to que up songs to play one after the other with the next song triggered manually or automatically.
* Be able to accept a mic input so I can talk over the stream.
* Have some basic audio processing functionality (EQ, Compression, Limiting..) as I would like to be able to EQ and compress mine & guests voices and limit the final stream output. I also want to set up sidechain compression so that the music volume ducks out while I'm speaking.
* Being able to have it analyse the loudness of music files in advance then automatically adjust their playback level would also be great.
I suppose I could probably just use a DAW for this. But it would be nice to have a program that's designed for the task. Maybe some kind of live DJ mixing software would work well?
- Currently trying out 'Mixxx'.
Privacy respecting software/web service to chat with guests on stream (preferably without them needing an account)
- I'm thinking Discord?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
