Topic: I have 2 simple (hopefully) questions - Page: 1

This part of topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information

Hi everyone, if this is in the wrong forum, feel free to move it. I decided in trying DJing out and it seemed pretty fun. I was using shoutcast and winamp dsp to broadcast and decided to upgrade and become more "professional" so bought Virtual DJ (7) and wanted to broadcast using shoutcast. After asking around and spending hours trying to get it to work I gave up trying to connect Virtual DJ to connect to shoutcast. I am using shoutcast 1, not 2, because I couldn't connect using shoutcast server 2. So I am wondering if it is possible to broadcast Virtual DJ 7 to winamp and have winamp broadcast to my server. So basically, virtaulDJ is inputted to winamp and winamp broadcasts to my server. If that is possible I would really appreciate a link to how to do it, or an explanation on this thread.
My other is really simple, i hope. But how do I put my mic as an input to one of my decks. So I could have my music playing on one deck, and I can talk live with my mic, using the other deck. Thanks for your help guys!

I haven't used the broadcasting function myself, so I'm not the best person to give detailed advice. However, as a general tip: you can leave WinAMP out from the chain. Virtual DJ is able to Shoutcast server directly, so you don't have to re-route the signal via WinAMP.
 
Thanks, after days of trying to get it to work, I got it working, so now if someone could help me with the mic thing, that would be great.

"how do I put my mic as an input to one of my decks. So I could have my music playing on one deck, and I can talk live with my mic, using the other deck. Thanks for your help guys!"
 
After researching the problem, it appears as though I can't use my mic with virtual dj 7, is this true?
 
Not true! First what are you using (external mixer, what soundcard, etc etc.) give me that info and I'll help you figure what you gotta do.

Ok, I am not using any external mixers, and I'm not sure what my soundcard is so look at the pic from the link at tell me which one is my soundcard, Thanks.

Hmm I don't know if its because im on my phone (Droid X) or what but when I click on the link there's nothing there?? Could you check the link again?

Huey
 
The link is there Huey but I don't see a soundcard listed in the devices.
 
Is there a soundcard called the High Definition Audio Controller [NoDB]? If so, this is mine, sorry for all this questions, but, im still really new at this.
 
can anyone help me?
 
I would say buy a little 30 dollar soundcard from Behringer. It's cheap and it's gonna make this a whole lot easier. Look at the bottom of your screen and right click on the little speaker icon that should tell you what kind of card you have. I'll try to figure this out.

Im going to buy that soundcard over the weekend. Thanks for the help so far.
 
Before I buy the soundcard though, when I click on my speaker icon, it gives me four options.

1. Open Volume mixer
2. Playback Devices
3. Recording Devices
4. Sounds
5. Volume controls

which one should I click? (I am using windows 7)
 
Sorry this is such a beginners question, but i'm really stuck. If someone could answer my last question, i would be very grateful
 
I Would be EXTREMELY grateful if someone could help me!

Did you get 1 yet?

Huey
 
I ordered one and I am waiting for it to arrive. I just would like to know how to figure out what to do once I get it.
 
Ok, the card came today and I believe I put it in correcty. Now how do I find out if I did it correctly?
 
I got it working. Thanks everyone for your help. If I can, I'd like to ask a question about shoutcast. It says it connects to IP 127.0.0.1 but I can't have have other computers listen with that address so how do I get the server to broadcast to another IP (70.19.190.18) so others can listen!
