- Connect
the Live Source to your Computer
Plug
an audio device into the input of your sound card. This can
be a stereo component, mixer, microphone, etc.
Be careful while Broadcasting with Line-in... if you are monitoring
your own broadcast or listening to something else at the same
time, it could be picked up by your sound card and re-broadcast,
causing an echo for the listener. The sound card's recording
properties must be properly configured.
- Enable
Line-In function in Mixer window
From the main interface of Pirate Radio, go to the yellow
button at the bottom of the screen that says "Mixer". Click
on it to open up the Mixer window.
The Mixer menu has a series of buttons. Find the one that says
"Line In" (top right) and click on it. The button should turn
red and look like it is pressed in. Now the Broadcaster will
recognize line input (input from any sound device such as a
microphone or stereo deck that is hooked into your PC's sound
card).
- Make
sure volume for Line In is high enough
The volume can be set with the vertical sliders on the mixer
as well as with the pre-set buttons. The volume coming into
your computer may also need to be adjusted. The vertical Volume
Indicator will act as a general guide. Watch for clipping with
the Pirate Radio's graphic indicator!
- Ensure
fader allows for Line In
There is a horizontal slider at the bottom of the Mixer window
which controls how much of the output of your broadcast is made
up of the Live or Playlist levels. Using this slider you can,
for example, decide how much your microphone overrides a song
being played from the playlist when you want to talk over a
portion of a song. If the slider is placed all the way to the
left, it means that all of the output will be devoted to the
Playlist and none of your line input will be heard.
- Hit
Begin in main interface
Click the big "Begin" button and once the Broadcaster has connected
you will be live on the air.
