Reaper 5.50 DAW implements SHOUTcast, NINJAM Subject description: How to use Reacast on E-M radio |
|
|
The latest version of Reaper now includes Reacast plugin; the interface asks for: Host port, Password, URL
I don't know if it actually works but I'd like to try it here at E-M and perhaps join the show this weekend. I've read the E-M radio Wiki and the above does not look like enough information, can anyone here steer me thru this?
(Edited to reflect the current how-to): In Reaper Master Track FX add the Reacast as the last effect, then
Host port: radio.electro-music.com:nnnn ( 8130, 8132, 8134, 8136 or 8138, or ask in chat for port nnnn)
Password: public (probably, ask in chat)
Current title: (put something descriptive)
The other fields: to suit
Save the Reacast preset (+ button) with the Broadcast button un-pressed or Reacast will attempt to connect as soon as it's loaded.
Make sure you have your monitoring sussed-out before trying to do a live show, i.e. if you intend to play live along with a project in Reaper you will find yourself rudely surprised, much as I did just last night.
Thanks to Robsol, iSteve, and Jan Last edited by airlock on Sun Sep 24, 2017 7:24 am; edited 4 times in total |

With URL electro-music.com, port 8130, 8132, 8134, 8136 or 8138 and password public you can run a test ... on http://electro-music.com/~janpunter/radio_info.php you can see the results of that test.
You'd want to set a stream title, maybe a song title - this is sometimes called meta information. _________________ Jan
also .. could someone please turn down the thermostat a bit.

Ack! I need help! No docs, so I just put Reacast in the Reaper Master Track FX, plugged-in the info Jan indicated and hit the Broadcast button, got "Connecting" message quickly followed by "Error connecting to server" message.
Thanks again for the help. |

Ah, OK then.
In the Field saying Host:port, put
electro-music.com:8130
In the password Field:
public
Song name is optional for it to work, but it's good to put a title of your choice here.
Leave the rest as is, bitrate should be 128 and sample rate 44.1 khz.
Then hit the Broadcast box, and that's it! It should show you the bytes sent, as a live update.
If you choose to put the Reacast plugin as an insert effect on the main out, everything that you play in Reaper will be streamed out, including tracks that are listening to live inputs.
I hope I got it right, as I am writing this from memory. In any case, I will try to be around in the chat tomorrow evening (thursday) to help out if needed.
It is an interesting addition to Reaper, as you could do a lot of things with it. You could essentially multitrack record all your inputs, as well as the main mix, while streaming it all.
Or, you could set up Reaper as an audio/midi looper, or perhaps even use it as a way to stream a DJ set, complete with cue outs and whatnot.
Thanks for turning my attention to it. _________________ Muied Lumens Sub Forum

For those who are curious, this plugin essentially lets you monitor audio separately from the stream without needing an extra output. You could have an instrument going into Reaper set up as an audio looper ( https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/loop-recorder ) and monitor your playing on a separate track/subgroup through headphones, all on the single native stereo in/out of a laptop.
I did something similar using the Media Explorer, which goes out the main outs but bypasses the insert effects. This lets you DJ (sort of) with recorded tracks on your hard disk. You have to be careful not to click anywhere outside the media clips, as the playback cursor will immediately snap to that location. You can probably change this behaviour in the settings though.
It also lets you stream files from your hard disk without a sound card, although you won’t be able to hear what goes out. _________________ Muied Lumens Sub Forum

That's a pretty a unique looking layout of Reaper!
I looked at NINJAM just now, and I'll join in exploring this with you if you're willing to steer me thru it as far as setup. |
