I cant get anything to work!

Looks like I'll have to abandon the idea live shows. I cant get anything to work!

I've tried Virtual DJ and SAM Broadcaster. I can't get any mic input. I've tried everything suggested.

Does anyone else use an EMU sound card with an EMU 1616 sound module and a Mackie desk?

Hey mate, I have downloaded this tool in order to make live broadcasts with our shoutcast station, but it takes forever to connect (in fact never!) and there is no user guide or support available on the net.

Could you advise how to make this work for us please? would be a big help!

Thanks

which of these downloads would you recommend for a poor, non technical, gaping ass hole such as myself?

I need something VERY, VERY simple to download that will allow me to broadcast live from my laptop (windows).

We would recommend either BUTT or Edcast, both are very user friendly. 8)

We also have guides available for setting these up:

Ok thanks.

So from the starting point that I am technically inept, I have downloaded BUTT ( no problem there).

I have processed my settings (or at least i think I have)

I have pressed play.

It says "connecting" but never does.

I can only assume this is due to the information I have placed in the settings, so can I run these with you?

MAIN

rocketradioshoutcast.internet-radio.org.uk
10633
and my current password

I haven.t put anything into the stream infos section, as these seems to be by choice.

Stream
128k
44100hz
stereo
mp3

Can you please let me know if any of this information is incorrect and if so, direct me to where i can find the correct info.

Thanks.

Your settings should be:

Server Type: Icecast
Name: Call this what you like.
Address: uk3.internet-radio.com
Port: 10633
Password: Same as your control panel password
Mountpoint: /live

Your stream settings look fine to us! 8)

Strange, are you 100% putting in the correct password? Check that you do not have the caps lock on as well.

Might be worth changing the control panel password and then trying this as it should work.
