#THE NICECAST PASSWORD#

The options in the server window should look something like those above, with your username instead of 'mjt' and the password given to you for ANONRADIO instead of my blanked-out password. So while you're fiddling around you can use the built-in server, and then when it comes time to present your show you can switch to ANONRADIO, with the round radio buttons in the server pop-out drawer, controlled by little right and left buttons toward the top of the Server window. However, I use the built-in server to test my setup, because it behaves the same way as a connection to the SDF ANONRADIO server. It has a 'Built-In Server' option that allows you to broadcast from your own IP address and enables others to connect to you and hear you without involving a third party such as SDF I have never tried this. However in this tutorial I'm primarily concerned with the 'System Audio' dropdown option, which doesn't have any advanced options itself.Ģ.The Server window, which is where you control how Nicecast connects on a network. If you're dealing with only one application such as Skype, then it would be good to check the 'Include Audio Inputs' box under 'Advanced', so Nicecast can hear you talking at all times and not just your conversation partner. Other options on that dropdown are 'Application', for specific and exclusive use of a program like Skype or iTunes, and then 'Audio Device' for a some specific system-level audio input/output path (I have never used 'Audio Device').

The point of the 'System Audio' option is that all outbound audio in your computer is fed into Nicecast and broadcasted, so, for example, you can use the audio from a few different applications at once. The first button, 'Source', is important - you'll want to select 'System Audio' from the drop-down menu there, and if it's your first time doing this then probably Nicecast will direct you to download an add-on program that enables system audio to be captured (it did this for me). Open Nicecast and set it upġ.The Broadcast window, which has several sub-areas, each activated by a button at the bottom of the window. The idea is to prevent the computer's input from taking in the computer's output (feedback).

Or, just a USB mic plus audio jack earphones.

If you don't have a headset then you can probably use audio jack earphones and your computer's built-in microphone. Keep this 'System Preferences > Sound' window open.

On Mac OS X, you can click the mic icon at the right of the input volume slider to move the input (USB mic, in my case) sensitivity all the way up, and click the similar lefthand icon to move it all the way down. In my case I'm using a Logitech USB headset (mic plus earphones), so I go into my System Preferences' Sound section and choose that headset for both input and output.įor Nicecasting purposes I find it's better to control your mic gain at the system level.
