Mixlr - service for music broadcasts

It so happened that I wanted to arrange a small concert for my distant friends, friends and just interested people. Since most of them live two, four or more time zones away from me, I started thinking about audio broadcasting, good from an iron point of view, everything is easily realizable (Alpha-Alpha, my dear ...) But the problem is my 44kb recoil is clearly not pulled on the audio server. Of course, there is Skype, but there are limits on the number of conference participants - this time, and not everyone has it - these are two. And we need to add users ... Horror, in short. And he takes only the left channel - it creates additional torment.
But after some time, I found Him, My Dream Service, such a hefty Mixlr ! Mixlr ! I will also tell about it under a cat. And a little bit about how I process the sound before sending.
So, I ask to the table under the cat! (But be careful! Traffic!)

The title screen is unlikely to appeal to feminists, but it allows you to quickly select a category of broadcasts or radio, go there and hear everything your heart desires. In addition, users can click the “Broadcast now” button to go to the broadcast start window, where ...

... where we see two kind options. Connect a soundcloud account and download some music and soft French buns or download a small program for your PC. Performance under Wine was not tested, alas. Anyone want to do this?
In addition, on the left you can see the user menu and its broadcast. Each of these buttons has its own function.
In addition to the avatar, name and sharing buttons, there is a button that will show us how many users are listening to the broadcast, along with their avatars, if any. Users can be guests or log in via twitter / facebook. If you follow the icon stripes, we will see chat / comments. Stage View depicts an equalizer. And the last button shows the profile of the station / artist.




By the way, about the connection. In addition to Soundcloud, you can connect twitter / facebook accounts to automatically send messages about the start of the broadcast and mixcloud, audioboo and dropbox. Why do we need the first two, alas, I do not know, but the connected dropbox allows you to export recordings of your broadcasts to it. Yes, they are recorded. There are no limits. Anyway, you can connect dropbox and throw everything there, without straining the server Mixlr.
In addition, you can get the player code for your broadcast for a website or blog, Wordpress or Facebook.


In case you decide to make a mini-radio, you can schedule the start time of the broadcast. It will end, obviously, when the tracks run out. But if you decide to broadcast live, then go to the desktop application.

First, it very nicely folds to tray.
Secondly, it offers us to set up a broadcast or schedule one, if we have audio tracks on an overseas service.
Thirdly, it offers us to improve our account. For 6 Euros per month ($ 5), we get the opportunity to download recordings of our broadcasts and Pro quality. Obviously Pro is a fucking bloody lossless, for even with the usual sound quality I am more than satisfied.
Well, finally, we can disable the publication of messages in the social. network.

Well, everything is simple. We choose an audio device (in my case, a virtual one, more freedom for distortions), we drive in a name, we select a category iiii ... ON AIR!

Everything, people can hear everything that we say / sing / play.
Now a little about how everything works on my part.
Virtual Audio Cable + VstHost + KI StereoTools + iZotope Nectar + Amplitube 2 (for the third did not want to work with vsthost). Very few))

“What kind of perversions with Stereo Tulsa ??” - the attentive reader will ask. And I will answer: Alfa Lexiconovna has two entrances. Hussars - be silent! One for the microphone, the second for the instrument. Suddenly, the microphone goes to the right channel. Fail when used with skype. Fortunately, it is easy to manage with VstHost and StereoTools in mono mode. But that is if we don't want plugins. And if you want decorations for the guitar and voice? Solution in the screenshot.

Epilogue

Mixlr - a great service, whose counterparts to me, alas, are unknown. Tell us in the comments if you know about such. There are a lot of services for video broadcasts, but for audio ... So, if there is a need for broadcasting or you want a small radio - welcome to our friendly company ~

PS Yes, I love the classic design of Windows.
PPS If suddenly interested, here is my channel. This Saturday I will delight everyone who came to their acoustic performance from Russian / English / Serbian-language songs of their own and not so great compositions. Bring tea and cookies, it will be great. Here you have a good seal from Lozhkina = ^. ^ =
