thank you all for the input! highly appreciated.

to start, I guess collecting a rough estimate of how many would want to participate, and take it from there. this would help me estimate if I can pull this off by myself. with some weeks of planning and testing I think this is definitely doable. especially if I can find a good way to allocate tasks. But that is my IRL job(post production coordinator).

Not sure if this should be a separate thread, but let’s start here. don’t be shy!

Would be willing to help with this and participate. I’m a rank beginner at streaming, but I’ve managed to set up OBS, OBS Cam, and stream via Twitch. My big lesson from my Friday show is–make sure you only have the audio faders up on the sources you’re actually using. I had to reboot everything and I ended up with my studio mic and iPhone mic both live–made for some awesome echo–haha. OBS, tries to grab audio from all sources, by default.

This may interest some of you: Streamlabs OBS just launched on Mac. It’s free and supposedly pretty good.

if the lines community stream happens, it might could be cool to see if the person organizing could drop a line in the contact form here to see if the Experimental Sound Studio would be interested in sharing the stream https://ess.org/the-quarantine-concerts

To all of you that has expressed interest: Awesome! Let’s try and make this happen. We have enough people to pull of quite a lengthy event already, but there is always room for more(and more disciplines). I might make a separate thread this weekend, but to those that are interested already: what day of the week would you prefer to do this? I’m thinking a Sunday, but I’m open for suggestions. Also, I am very open for a more creative name than “lines community stream” :slight_smile:

what equipment is needed for live streaming?

#138

Depends on what you are streaming. But for a live music thingie, I would recommend an audio interface that works nicely with OBS(software), a computer with a webcam or you can use the OBS studio Cam app for and iPhone(I think it’s about 10$, and only works with vanilla OBS, not Streamlabs OBS) and good and stable internet connection :slight_smile:

Updated the form with a column for preferred day of the week. Will make a separate thread this weekend.

(advanced apologies for modern compression technology. we’re doing a weird setup where we zoom as a group into a central hub, then our friend mc’s each of us into a youtube stream. holy moly.)

hope you’re all safe and staying sane.

some great tips here.

The other thing I “discovered” (by watching Sonic Talk :slight_smile: ) is https://restream.io/ - so now my stream goes to YouTube ,twitch and FB at the same time - but it seems to have some nice controls etc built in even if you just go to YouTube - I’m just using the free tier

Nick Batt (of Sonic State) made the comment “if you think there is a lot going on with audio wait until you get into video…” :slight_smile: I can see what he means.

Just because I find what others using useful - my current setup is OBS (basic) , The iOS Cam app mentioned up above to allow tethered capture (I’ve also just installed NDI but I’ll experiment more with that first) , I’ve got my Sony RXIII via elgato camlink 4k - but the quality is a little ropey - my partner has a phone upgrade due - I might see if I can have her old phone as a second camera, Audio is hardware -> Saffire pro 40 -> Ableton (with the inevitable Valhalla reverb and delay - essential!) that goes into loopback2 (with monitoring via my Saffire pro 40) and then loopback 2 is the audio source for OBS. I’ve not been bothering recording locally just using ableton as a mixing desk. Probably could just use the mixer in the Saffire and skip ableton TBH
