On the Broadcast window: “Source” should be system audio…“Info” should be filled in if you want :8000 to read correctly…“Titles” won't register unless your source is only an audio player like iTunes…“Quality” is whatever you want…ignore “Share”…and “Effects” is superfluous.Ĭlick “Start Broadcast” on the Nicecast Broadcast window! The archived mp3 should show up on your desktop.

Nicecast should start archiving immediately if you've set that option on the Archiving window – I save the archive on my desktop. In this window you can also control some things like bitrate, channels, type, and most importantly where the archive file is saved. Click the “Archive” button to turn archiving on, if it's not on already. This is useful for checking your levels and just making sure everything works and sounds the way you want it to. This controls parameters for producing an mp3 recording of your broadcasts. That said, sometimes stopping then restarting some program or service within a program is helpful (like the VoiceOver plugin, or even clicking on the system level mic input controls to “wake it up”). Sometimes order of operations seems to matter in Nicecast broadcasting, and sometimes it does not a good general order seems to be: system, then Nicecast, then audio programs.

Also on this window is the “Start” button for the voiceover.

Auto Ducking – move the slider all the way to the right, to “Off” (otherwise, constantly trying to overcome the mic's threshold is tiresome for the voice – it's easier just to control the mic at the computer system level). Crossfade – put the slider in the middle. Click it, and a window pops up, with three subsections: 1. You can try playing with the VoiceOver effect's additional gain controls if it seems like you need to (especially after you check your archived audio file…see below).ĭirectly on the lower left of the VoiceOver plugin, there's a tiny nonstandard button that says “EDITOR”. To add VoiceOver, click the first, top-left space in the Effects window where it says “Click here to insert effect”, and choose “VoiceOver” from the dropdown “4X Effect” submenu. Of course if you don't have the ANONRADIO server in the Nicecast server drawer, you'll first want to create it by clicking “+”.Īlong with the “Gain” box at the top left (move it all the way to the right, probably, to 238%) you'll just need one effect: VoiceOver maybe you can play with some other effects but I don't find them necessary or desirable.

The options in the server window should look something like those above, with your username instead of “mjt” and the password given to you for ANONRADIO instead of my blanked-out password. So while you're fiddling around you can use the built-in server, and then when it comes time to present your show you can switch to ANONRADIO, with the round radio buttons in the server pop-out drawer, controlled by little right and left buttons toward the top of the Server window. However, I use the built-in server to test my setup, because it behaves the same way as a connection to the SDF ANONRADIO server. It has a “Built-In Server” option that allows you to broadcast from your own IP address and enables others to connect to you and hear you without involving a third party such as SDF I have never tried this. However in this tutorial I'm primarily concerned with the “System Audio” dropdown option, which doesn't have any advanced options itself.Ģ.The Server window, which is where you control how Nicecast connects on a network. If you're dealing with only one application such as Skype, then it would be good to check the “Include Audio Inputs” box under “Advanced”, so Nicecast can hear you talking at all times and not just your conversation partner. Other options on that dropdown are “Application”, for specific and exclusive use of a program like Skype or iTunes, and then “Audio Device” for a some specific system-level audio input/output path (I have never used “Audio Device”). The point of the “System Audio” option is that all outbound audio in your computer is fed into Nicecast and broadcasted, so, for example, you can use the audio from a few different applications at once.

The first button, “Source”, is important – you'll want to select “System Audio” from the drop-down menu there, and if it's your first time doing this then probably Nicecast will direct you to download an add-on program that enables system audio to be captured (it did this for me). 1.The Broadcast window, which has several sub-areas, each activated by a button at the bottom of the window.
