Sweet as. Once you're close to finishing, what I reccomend is you get a VPS. You can get a VPS with the following specs from rapidvps.com: $9.95 a month, bandwidth = 100 GB/mo, storage = 5.00 GB. Thinking about it, it's better you get a VPS as all the servers I have access to either don't have sufficient spare bandwidth or are unreliable. Once you got the server I can simply install shoutcast and you can point a subdomain of HGV to the servers IP (e.g radio. ). When you order the VPS, if you choose to take this route (you need *root* shell access to install shoutcast properly) then make sure you get Linux, as it gives the best results. Shoutcast is fairly easy to use and you can DJ from a plugin that installs itself to Winamp.
I can also set up a home computer which records the radio show for later replays.
Fucking sweet - this program your on about, can I download it and just save to mp3 instead of going live? as me and andy could do with a few test shows before going live
When you need to go live, buzz me after ordering that VPS and I'll install it all for you. As for downloading it, unfortunately this is server-side software and is executed under either Linux or Windows servers. You simply use the DSP client to broadcast the sound from either your soundcard or winamp to the server and the server redistributes it, making it so as long as you have a decent stream rate the quality sounds good no matter how many users are listening to it.
To test yourselves I'd reccomend you do it from Windows sound recorder. Simply turn off any music, and your mic record a blank .wav file, save, close, re-open sound recorder and "insert file", repeat the process till you have enough recording time.
