Winamp SHOTcast DSP |
|
If you have Winamp, you can easily get started with
DJing with the SHOUTcast DSP plugin. You can download this from the
following link:
http://www.shoutcast.com/downloads/shoutcast-dsp-1-9-0-windows.exe
Once downloaded and installed, fire up Winamp, go to
Options-->Preferences, scroll down to the "Plugins" section
and select "DSP/Effect". Here, double click the "Nullsoft
SHOUTcast Source DSP v1.9.0 [dsp_sc.dll]" and set things up as
follows:
|
| Tab |
Field |
Value |
|
Notes |
| Input |
Input Device |
Winamp (Recomended) |
|
There are two ways of using a
mic. The first is simply to switch between "Winamp (Recomended)"
and "Souncard" Inputs. The second (more prefered but doesnt
always work) is to use "Soundcard" Input and set it to "Line
In", using the "Push To Talk" (PTT) button to activate
mic. |

Encoder Type |
MP3 |

Some connections
will experiance buffering issues due to internet speed limitations. Reducing
quality here can help alliviate this. Also wireless connections offen
experiance packet loss, and increasing the broadcast bitrate will help
comphensate. |

Please do not check this, as
you will end up auto-connecting every time you start winamp and that will
get annoying for the rest of us ;) |

| SAM Broadcaster |
Setting up SAM Broadcaster is fairly straight forward. You can get
a demo copy of SAM Broadcaster from
HERE,
but obviously you will ned to buy a full version if you plan to
use the program for any significant length of time.
Once acquired, simply install SAM (you may want to use either
the Firebird database (easy to setup) or the MySQL database
(which is the most common and powerfull, and will be useable
with special features of Pure Phonix)).
Once installed, fire up SAM. To set up a connection, go to the window
menu, and click "encoders". In the new window that appears, click
the + sign to add a new encoder. Another new box should appear
asking what type of encoding you want to use. Select the "MP3 and mp3PRO"
option, and click "ok". You are now presented with the stream configuration
box. The details are as follows:
Converter Tab -
Format should be 128kbps Stereo, Autostart Encoder should be *UNTICKED*,
and Auto Reconnect Encoder should be set to 30.
Server Details Tab -
Type should be "ShoutCAST", Station Name should be set to your Set title,
Genre should be set to the closest match for the type of music you plan
on playing, Website URL should be http://www.purephonix.com, IRC
Channel should be set to #purephonix, and the Server IP, Server Port and
Password can be found in the DJ Lounge on the Pure Phonix forums.
Stream Archive -
Leave this alone unless you want to save lists of the songs you play.
Once you have done this, click the "ok" button. You should be taken back to the
"Encoders" window, and your new configuration should be listed. Select this,
and click the button that looks like a "play" button to connect to the server.
Then? Play some ch00nz ph00l! =D
**NOTE** You can set up and save connection details for more than one stream, which
is usefull for quickly connecting to other stations to broadcast.
