Is anyone using Blast Radio to broadcast?
I’ve always wanted to perform live in some capacity but nerves/anxiety have always stopped me from doing so. So in my case, being able to do this spontaneously, with a focus on quick, improvised, rough sketches etc, is a very exciting prospect.
yes i’m in love with the idea
i hate being seen
or creating videos to share music
or worrying about sample clearance
for now, blast is perfect for the multifaceted approach i wanna use for broadcasting sound
that’s really cool & there is a lot of synergy w/:
seek support from musicians you trust. for some people the first show is the worst, then they get over it. for others - even some professional musicians i know who perform in orchestras - the anxiety never goes away. my first show was with my band and we played to a packed venue. so it was high pressure but also high support. i still get anxiety sometimes, but to me it’s all about centering, practice, and finding people to help you work through your personal blocks.
Thank you.
I used to be a Hip Hop/Battle DJ in the late 80s.
I had no such issues back then, so I know it’s something i should be able to get over.
growth is not always linear 
Nicely put.
I’ve never thought about it like that before.
Cheers : )
Hey, yeah I’m on there Luke Sanger (@lukesanger) is on Blast
It’s pretty early days at the moment as they’ve only recently launched, so would be good to find some more like minded people on there! I’ve just done a couple of broadcasts on it so far, but it’s a nice and low pressure way of sharing sounds and sketches.
The box is easy to use and you start streaming lossless audio (via wifi) to your profile with one button. I plan on trying some on location field recording and things, as the box is battery powered and can be tethered to a phone, which opens up some interesting possibilities! The audio is only publicly available for 24hrs, but it does save your file so you can retrieve it later on.
Just ordered the box.
I’ll create my profile when it comes but I’m so excited about this.
lmk when you’re playing so i can tune in
Thank you.
Will do, if I’m not too nervous 
lol!
I’ve broadcast an impromptu test track. Made on my Mpc Live 2. Just testing out sounds and functions.
Very rough, crunchy but I like the vibe. In the style of early 90s B12 records. Made no attempt to edit notes, fx, structure. Just played in live with some basic track mutes.
My earliest recordings were made using a radio transmitter in the headphone out of my mixer, dialing a boombox to the station, and recording the results onto cassette🙃
Edit- admittedly no “real” clue what I was doing, but it worked. Can’t recall if I was either too poor, or too green to realize the boombox had a mic input, and adapters existed? “My bandmate had a radio transmitter for some reason and I was in a teenage noise band” is the moral of this word-vomit. Thanks.
yeah after some issues i pretty much stopped using the device in favor of the beta vst
i’m live for the next half hour if anybody wants to hear some tunes
Can I listen to this without a phone? Just on the laptop.
you’ve found a flaw in the system
i thought surely…the answer can’t be no
but, it appears that listeners can only access a Blast show via their mobile app
Aww bummer. Guess I’ll have to get the app then. Thanks!
just did my first session with vocals woven in!
probably not really special to most people but it was equally exhilarating/nerve wracking

Wonderful interview and set, thanks so much! Cool hearing how you got into drums
The beats were beautiful! Amaaazing set
