Input => Liquidsoap/Airtime => Transmitter/Internet I mention here Liquidsoap because this is why people wants to use this type of configuration If you use Hardware or Any Applications (itunes or Your Favourite Media players) that does not come with its own built in stream client (Virtual Dj,Tracktor,Mixxx etc) You have to use a streaming client like nicecast,darkice,butt or liquidsoap) Remember your playout can be anything(Hardware like mixer/broadcast console and or standalone Applications like Mixxx,Amarok,Itunes etc.) Yes the Airtime Output Works seemlessly but when You put input to it then as I said there is a lot of things to note as I said before. Playout=> Stream Client => Airtime=> Transmitter/Stream Server Your suggestion for me has been the recommended method approach Use two airtime if possible on two machine one in to the mixer,you will be Dunn Try the line out from Airtime and you might get even your stream lock up or just sound crappy. With all that said and done ,I do use a line in to airtime but it make little sense because since it is the streamer,I cannot listen unless I had a mixer like yours with sub-group to assign it to and then make that group pre-fade. BUTT is Mature to be use =)) no pun intended.What if your server was in the Cloud? This would not be practical.So go for a futurist implementation than experimental.
You are really setting an environment,you have to monitor consistently.Airtime have different ways it runs schedule program from how it goes to silence.You will find many script i wrote to ovecome that.but basically you might find your line in not work on schedule program.Then if you do not have a sound card that runs on its own clock,then look for some real hiccups with liquidsoap.In fact ALSA is the only sound application that I found Liquidsoap works on "stress less".Then you have to decide whether you want a desktop or server.Servers are not really design to put line in so you will have to ensure all dependencies are met.Getting the right quality sound card to work with Linux.Forget if you are not going to spend $1500 - $2000 for a soundcard that is dedicated to linux like this one found here.If you search around you will see Underruns and overruns being dealt with a lot in this forum.
Trust Me There is little advantage of trying to directly put a live input to Airtime.In fact you may have more headache. If anyone already worked around that please post your results! Thank you! I'll study around your script to find out if could be possibile to write some kind of plugin for airtime which may enable a live studio broadcasting. I will revisit it and give you soon the solution I am using They have one disadvantage when I wrote them in that they bypass the airtime straight to icecast, In the mean time here is a write up I did here
Stations that use nicecast how to#
One other the things I always say is that IMHO Airtime is like a streamhosting its not really meant to be the desktop application so unless you know how to configure soundcards in Linux,you will have problem putting a direct input into airtime. There used to be some wonderful screencast they are all gone but check VIMEO Just use a stream client like Edcast reborn,Nicecast,butt,winamp dsp or whatever you want instead of MIXXX Open source digital DJ: Integrating Airtime and Mixxx by Daniel Jamesīoth article are found in the blogs section How to broadcast live in Airtime by Lucile Neden Have you had the time to look at this post
