Are you ready for this trippy hippy step? Can you guess? Now here is the one trick and something I do not think is possible in Nicecast– for the people calling in from Skype, we want them to be able to hear everything that is broadcast back out to ds106 radio (including my voice too). Our second output, Aux Output 1, goes to headphones so we can monitor all output- this I generally keep at a medium or low level as it is just a test to make sure audio is working – there is really no delay in your own audio mim (as you hear in Nicecast). The mix is defined by the combination of all volumes (volume controls in apps like iTunes, Skype) and the Ladiocast input levels. We can then use this mix of the microphone and computer audio as source for our broadcast. Here is where it gets trippy- we are outputting sounce to our other Soundflower source, Soundflower (2ch)- this is completely separate from Soundflower (16ch). Each of these sources is mapped (see arrows above) to our two output sources (Main and Aux Output 1). So all the input sound to Ladiocast is from our computer and our microphone. Input 2 is whatever you use for a microphone, in this case it is the external mic of my iPhone headset (You will use a headset, you will use a headset, you will not use the open mic of your laptop, right?). Input 1 is out Soundflower (16ch) meaning a mix of all audio sources on our computer (which will also include system alerts, so mind your IM notifications). Generally you want volumes just below the part where the meters peak in red. Each also has a levels control so we can turn any source down or fine tune for levels.

This software provides three different sources for input, and three for output (though we only need 2 and 2). We will make one more setting change here later. Note that I have also slid the volume to its maximum setting (just in case you call soneone with low volumes- we want max throughput from Skype and we will adjust the output volume elsewhere). I said most- Skype can be finicky, and you will manually have to change the output to strong>Soundflower (16ch) from Preferences -> Audio/video: What this means is that most applications will now send sound to this source (meaning you will not hear it from your speakers or your headphones). First, we want to set the default output for System audio to Soundflower (16ch) (the 16 means it can accept 8 stereo audio sources in a mix: This is what makes mp3 encoding available in Ladiocast Not needed anymore.

Download the copy of the MP3 encoder library used for Audacity (or alternatively make a copy of the one you have).

Its like a mixer of audio sources on your computer.

Install the 0.10.4 version of Ladiocast, not the latest one (a copy can be downloaded from Tim’s server) Not necessary anymore, you can get use the latest version of Ladiocast from the Apple Store.So I went back to Tim’s tutorial and repeated his critical steps. I then realized my Ladiocast did not have the mp3 encoder as an option. I had made the mistake of downloading Ladiocast from the Apple App Store, and tried a few broadcasts- it felt like I was broadcasting, but the ds106 autodj never registered in and also, people were saying it was dead air. So I got all of that working, without actually too much sweat the missing piece of the equation in Ladiocast is the lack of archiving, and here is my foreheadslap idea- I used Ladiocast merely as my audio mixer, and sent out the audio from there as input to Nicecast, which becomes the broadcaster and automatic archiver. I cobbled together the approach below with a combination of Tim Owen’s Ladiocast tutorial (critical for setting up Ladiocast) and Scott Lockman’s setup for doing his Second Life to Google Hangout broadcasts.

The new thing in the mix is the free Icecast broadcastng software, Ladiocast. I still prefer using Nicecast, and do so for voice broadcasts or voice mixed with music (DJing)- but in the past I have ran into problems doing it with something like Skype as one of the sources, though I have mixed it in with the application mixer, the missing piece is for someone on Skype to be able to hear back what is on the stream.
