The minimal solution of using an iOS device like an iPod Touch over wifi will work on its own if you can place it near a PA speaker. And if pay a $9.99 monthly premium you can download the saved showreel content too and embed the live stream into external sites and blog posts. It can be exported into third party services like Audioboo, SoundCloud or Dropbox. The audio can be accessed by anyone from your live profile page on Mixlr, and once the streaming session finishes, you have the option to save the content onto your showreel allowing listeners to access the content on-demand. With such low bandwidth, streaming over 3G is viable. (It seems that the main way to stream audio is to use a video streamer with the audio over a fixed image.)Īs long as 30–96kbps of bandwidth is available, it’ll stream audio from a laptop or an iOS device. There aren’t many audio-only streaming solutions. However, as I looked into ways that an event like next week’s four day Presbyterian Church in Ireland General Assembly in Derry could be streamed I discovered that some streaming solutions not only offer real time feeds, but also get rid of a lot of my normal offline processing workflow too. Compared with audio, the time to manipulate, edit, transcode and upload video content is vastly increased and prohibitive for fast turnaround projects that date quickly. Processing long-form video in this kind of workflow is really out of the question. It sounds cumbersome – and to an extent it is cumbersome – but you soon get into the swing of it, and as long as there's time to swap SD cards between speeches, I can have audio available online within half an hour or so of a speech finishing. MP3 and uploading them to Audioboo which tweets the world and allows the audio to be shared and embedded in blog posts. WAV files into half hour chunks, compressing them, exporting to. Over the past month or so I’ve been looking at easy ways to live stream video and audio from events.Īt party conferences and other events, I’m well used to plugging an audio recorder into the back of a mixing desk (or an XLR splitter box) and then afterwards popping the SDHC card into a reader, loading up Audacity, chopping up the saved.
