So I volunteer at a campus/community radio station and we're trying to put together broadcasts of live music, sort of like what you'd see on KEXP. So I've been trying to devise some scheme to get the sounds from real life to cyber space so we can stream it to the broadcast studio(which is too small for a band) and then off to the airwaves.
So far the best I've come up with is: Interface -> DAW(Reaper) -> Voxengo recorder as a VST plugin -> Virtual audio cable -> Butt (I shit you not this is what the streaming program we use is called) -> Then butt streams via ice cast to our server which we access via the computer in the broadcast studio.
The benefit to this is that we can record the audio so that we can make videos of the performance to post online as well as mixing the songs for any bands that want since a lot of bands can't afford studio time or their own equipment. I figure it would be a good service for the local scene so that bands can have semi professional recordings. I'd like to eventually get a little mastering suite so we can provide them fully done tracks that they can use as a demo or even sell, but now I'm getting off topic. Does anybody have any better suggestions at all since I'm pretty certain I might have missed something? Help me obi fuzz kenobi, you're my only hope.
