Just double click on each eq band to reset its value to 0. Otherwise you can check some youtube videos still might find some info:

lmk how it goes, gl.

Why not just use the Virtual Audio Cable you already have installed?

With this installed it shows up and works just like any another soundcard in Windows as well as any other application that recognizes soundcards.

In RadioDJ you can set your sound cards to this cable and play it out to any device or multiple devices you want all at the same time.  Set your broadcast software input to this cable to pickup the sounds from RadioDJ.  There is nothing else to adjust.  You should hear the sound exactly as it is being sent by RadioDJ.

You can then set the laptop speakers as your Monitoring (Cue) card.

I hope this helps and does not confuse the issue.

Good Luck

I've been curious about this approach since reading about it early on. Will give it a bang. Guess the only changes I would make where Windows is concerned is to set the VAC as default. Will let you know how this turns out. Much appreciated!

If sound is distorted check the audio input in Voicemeter. Also check the output settings of it. Than check the input settings in your stream program. Sounds wierd but this is what happens after you set 4 output levels and 3 main output level after each other.

I would sugest to do the simple thing. Run RadioDJ as main program with audio processing to the streamer. Everything else delete it. How to put your voice in the broadcast? There is a reason why a professional radiostation has a studio with a live assist setup. Take a second computer with RadioDJ, it is free so why not. Set it in live assist and connect it to your mixboard. The main out of the mixer to the line input of the RadioDJ automation and build some events to switch the live input on air.

This way you have a full working studio with normal mixing and no delay's. The only delay is at the automation and that one you only listen to a couple of seconds or not even that, just watch the "live" going on air. Even better, you still can make recordings and preps for your show without being on the stream. Yes you have to have a second computer but that one you can switch down when you are finished with your live broadcast, the same for the rest of the studio.

FreerunMedia: I had this running on a second machine at one time. Using it for more important things now. Yeah, I'm interested in a sweet sound; however, this is nothing more than a hobby. Spent over 20 years as a jock in commercial radio, not a single second as an engineer. So, I'm avoiding having to get too involved where the tech aspect is concerned. May purchase another machine in the future.

Filip83: Checked out the vids. Good stuff. Will review in full when time permits.

FL Coast: Used the VAC. Worked flawlessly with one exception: When I went to set a cue point, the pop up player wouldn't play. Back to Banana for now.

Thanks to all of you for offering your time/advice!

[Filip83]

For info in my set up I use both Banana and a separate additional VAC that I also use as a hardware input in Banana.

Wish you gl, let us know how it goes.

[pfoole2012]

Hope to grasp some of the info in the videos you provided. Still wondering if using an external card would be a simpler approach. As mentioned in a previous reply, I couldn't get the audio to play in cue when I used the VAC setup (without banana). Thoughts on a second card?

Thanks again!

[Filip83]

An additional sound card is 100% redundant.

You can just use VAC indeed. But in this case do it like this: VAC for main output in RDJ. everything else on your sound card. in windows set default playback to your sound card.

Banana is like a Swiss army knife for audio. In the videos you can see what can it be used for. If you don't need such advanced functionality then the VAC is just fine to use.

Set your Windows back to DEFAULT, which would be your laptop speakers.  Then in RadioDJ put all of your settings to the VAC except the Monitoring/Cue and set it to default (See Below).  Set your streamer to the VAC.  You should hear your cue monitor on your laptop speakers without being heard on your stream.

Cool. I'll give that a bang here after a few listeners drop off. Thanks again, folks. Your help is hugely appreciated!

Just set it up  using the VAC, Filip83. No go. I probably don't have the VAC configured. Reverted back to banana. How do I go about setting up the VAC so that I'm actually streaming through it?

[Filip83]

Banana is = 2 x VAC on steroids
It is the same thing, but Banana has more functionality.

You need to set up the RDJ output to the virtual cable and then also set the Virtual cable in your encoding software. It is essentially the same as a sound card output... Only difference you can only use it virtually which is perfectly fine for streaming.

I feel like we said just about everything there is to say. If you are still having problems try todescribe the best way you can what the problem is.


See if this can help

If you still have problems with Banana you can try Menu > Reset settings (Reinitialize)

I think that's where I'm running into a problem - setting it up with my encoder. I'm using the onboard A******t plugin. Should I uninstall and reinstall? Or, maybe use a different encoder? I'm only a step away from getting this right.

[Filip83]

You can write A******t there is no reason to hide it behind ***.

I think that is fine. I also used that for stream. I don't understand where the problem is.
