OK
Great out pouring of aid, I have recieved messages from jonathan, ray and
joeg :)
Would it be possible, Ruben, to move the audio equipment to my apartment
where I have a professional audio card and a dsl connection which can
handle sending one stream to the nylxs server which will be the main
broadcasting point?
Anyone who wishes to help us in rebroadcasting the streams should get set
up 15-30 minutes before the 9pm Live Show, and we will add information
about these secondary streams to the nylxs.com/radio page. All information
accesible to the world comes from the nylxs server.
The guests and people in charge of the formatting (joe and ray have
expressed interest/ideas ) would come to my apartment in the East Village
where the actual audio will get encoded. My apartment is a bit more
central so we could hopefully get more people excited and involved in this
project.
FWIW I have greatly simplified the broadcast scripts.
Starting the broadcast as I did last night now consists of being in the
directory radio_prog (which is in my home directory right now )
starting icecast in one terminal so you get the live logging:
icecast -c icecast.conf
and in another terminal running : ./start_broadcast
when you are done : ./stop_broadcast and Ctl^C the icecast server.
You also need to turn on the mixer and the mics, and adjust the levels on
the mic input. This is something we will never get right until we have an
audio card which supports a normal line input, as the signal from the
mixer will always saturate the input of the cheapo piece of crap on board
mini-jack soundcard every time Ruben coughs or Jay wants to make a point
... unless you turn the mics down so low that no one hears anything. An
analog mixer has built in compression, but you have to be driving the
amplifiers with normal signal levels, which I cannot do because normal
signal levels are frying the consumer soundcard.
These are the technical problems right now.
As soon as this is fixed it will be easy to show others how to start
everything up and shut it down
