I cannot tell you what they all do- experiment! (using built in server).
There are a lot to choose from (see the Nicecast manual Effects Index for a run down). Anywhere you click on a square allows you to add an effect (select from t e menu from the top of the widget). The green line is the path of your source- (Voice for me). The Wet/Dry mix lets you control how much of the effects are applied to your source (in my case audio)- if you build something elaborate, you can make the effects go away by flipping to the dry side- in my case, it’s all Wet.Īnd it is always worth turning on the levels display. You can bump up the total gain with the top widget (which is why I may have been blasting at 200%- there is a quick mute button if you need it). You definitely want to have phones to monitor your output as you stream, even if there is echo. If I am the only voice, then I just use my USB headset if in the case when I broadcast with Bryan Alexander, I used the built in mic on my MacBookPro (which also created more room like effects), but plugged the speaker end of my headsets into the headphone jack (I have a Sennheiser that allows my to use USB or just the plugs).
You must set up headphones to monitor the output- do not leave your speakers open, unless you want to stream bone breaking feedback. This is cleaner than trying to manually switching songs. In iTunes, I create a playlist for the audio I want to use- this would be if you want to DJ, or a list of creepy sounds you want to use.
This guide covers how to set it up when you want to mix, say audio and music, as I have used for Scary Stories from Stawberry.Īnd I am not an expert! I defer to a real one on sound software. Streaming music from your computer is easy if you use Nicecast to stream from an application (say iTunes). This is not going to be a comprehensive guide to Nicecast- actually their built in help is rather detailed, and it is where I went to school.
With the zaniness of free form live broadcasting in the ds106 radio space, people are sorting out the various live streaming tools and learning as we go.
While fans are divided, they will have to wait until they have watched the final episodes of FBoy Island Season 2, which are released on HBO Max on August 4, to find out if Casey really is a Nice Guy.īoth seasons of FBoy Island are available to stream on HBO Max.I’m a huge fan of Rogue Amoeba’s streaming software for OS X, Nicecast, and have used it before for broadcasting for projects at NMC. He's really matured compared to last season #FboyIsland," one wrote, while another posted: "Casey coming back as a Nice Guy has got me simping something fierce and I'm way too invested in FBoy Island now. Other viewers, however, took to Twitter to note how much of a change they have seen in Casey since Season 1. Other fans shared similar views, with one writing: "Casey's quoting Future? Definitely still an f boy #FBoyIsland," and another adding: "Casey says he's a nice guy this time I don't know if I believe it but I know I'd fall for it #FBoyIsland." "Everything Casey is saying to Tamaris is all the same sh** he told CJ in Season 1 this is all just a game these boys just want that money and nothing else lol why else would he come BACK? Him, Garrett, and Peter #FBoyIsland," they wrote on Twitter. Some fans were not convinced by Casey, with one saying on social media that he was exhibiting the same FBoy behaviors as he did in Season 1.
Casey Johnson has insisted he has returned to "FBoy Island" Season 2 as a Nice Guy, with his sights set on Tamaris Sepulveda.
