I have noticed some of our Dj's are broadcasting in really low bitrates, now there is nothing wrong with that if you have a slow connection but for the guys that may have a better one please post your connection speed here and ill tell you what you can pull off
let me give mine as example I have (its the upload that is the factor here)
(http://www.speedtest.net/result/254219313.png) (http://www.speedtest.net)
With this I can pull off 128 bps mp3 and be ingame so people with this or more should atleast be able to transmit 96bps mp3 easily
It just sounds better for music, for only speech its not that big of an issue but music needs to sound clear
but its up to you just a tip
EDIT: seeing as this has become the DJs general discussion corner(we all talk about everything ) ill change it to that it seems there was a need for it
-
I will upload at no more than 48kb/s. Good enough quality, remember this is not a pro radio station. ;)

It seems good, maybe I will apply for DJ next time :D
-
around 40kb/ps is good enough, we have LISTENERS with bad connections and major lag problems, it buffers for them if we go higher than 58kb/ps, as Watti will be able to backup.

thats mine with 24 mbits connection im a bit dissapointed.

Wel I am never happy with the soundquality its just one of my things but ill use 128 as long as I dont hear people have problems receiving

Rofl , i got 24mbit/s and my UL speed is weak.. God #"!"#!¤..
-
I wonder why that is that some isp's make the upload so low ..probably so you take more expensive contract if you need to upload a lot I saw a few eastern european guys tests .they actually had nmore upload then download
Oh btw Zun I caught a few of your shows Good work ! keep it up ;)

/me backs Up :D
ok now... i got it on .. i do belive... ahh... 64 Kb/s... :D.. Which is 64 Bytes per second... thus 6.4 KB/s
i can listen to 128 fine.. out game but 64 is max ingame

.. i do belive... ahh... 64 Kb/s... :D.. Which is 64 Bytes per second... thus 6.4 KB/s
[...]
b (small b) = bit, 1/8 of a byte
B (big b) = byte
ex. 1Mb/s = 128kB/s
32kB/s = 256kb/s
and another thing, use a 'p' OR a '/', don't use both at the same time (@ Dave)
And about the bitrate, 64 is enough for a radio. 48 and lower are good only if you can compress the data with a good algorythm.
-
you are telling me you dont hear difference between 128 and 64 or you dont mind it ?
I just made this topic for people who want more but though they could not get it not to tell you guys what to use thats up to you
but if I am not wrong Johannes uses 92 or something like that and nobody ever complained about it (atleast not on forum)
hmm it does increase my latency perhaps i shall try lower also
-
I think most of us encode at around 40kb/s which is good enough for an ameteur radio station.
-
Hmm I am a perfectionist when it comes to music SRY
thats why I am getting crazy I am playing now and i keep hearing distortion even on 128 .. like i am in the red . but I am not
-
Great show so far Iggy and it sounds perfect ;) i play mine at around 64-128kb/s depending if alot of people are buffering quite alot i'll put it down.
-
yeah wel if i dont scare you all away with my Metal lol i like a lot of music so its not to hard for me to play something different
anyway time for some pizza ill be on later again so if someone wants to go on after the next guns and roses song i am off (not sweet child the next called nighttrain )
-
you are telling me you dont hear difference between 128 and 64 or you dont mind it ?
I mean that it depends on the compression algorithm... sometimes music is good in 48kB/s and sometimes it can break ears at 128kB/s.
But for an internet radio, 64kB/s is usually enough for me. Of course, higher is good too.
-
Mine is rediciously low, especially for a DJ..but It's very expensive and very slow in Australia
Im paying $69.95 AUD for this connection!! :devroll:
(Like alot of ISP's here)
(http://www.speedtest.net/result/254630140.png) (http://www.speedtest.net)
Its stupid..
NOTE: This is called High Speed Broadband in Australia.. :roll:
-
some tips would be nice I really dont know what codec is better I have SAM 4 so maybe you could tell me what codec is best (i use the standard mp3 now)
-
RUSTY lol you made a little mestake I hear you not the music (breathing swearing at your ..?sister?) you should check the mic settings :rofl:
Lol angry scotsman on air (he said fuck like 5 times already)

MY GOD the horror i have a special package with phone so its really expensive for dutch standard (like 45€ =77.50 AUD)but for like 15€(25,25aud) you have 20 mbit here
so yeah thats expensive
-
Yea i had it recording from my soundcard lol i was like wtf is happening. Sorry if it caused any harm.
-
Nah lol I can handle it. Anyway even if someone would have a problem (but who doesnt say F every now and then) its not your foult you thought nobody could hear you
I just thought it was funny :lol: I tune in and I hear you saying FFS then something is Scotish ?(I guess ) So i made the angry scotsman remark ( I happen to think Scottish Gaelic sounds really cool when angry like south african and some tribal language I forgot the name off) ;)
-
Lol Rusty.....annoyed at some ppl were we? :P
He was proably speaking English, but with slang in it..
-
I didn't even know till i hear myself speaking i was doing it my Sister kept being a bad guy (LMAO who changed it) and shouting in my ear. Same with whem am talking on air i can hear myself anyone help me sort this problem out?
-

I had the same eh but i always forget how i fix it I am thinking maybe it comes back but I am sure someone else knows its a common problem
-
I'll try looking through SAM documentation for a solution.
-
My Radio Station - 48kb/s Stereo
Argonath Government Radio - 32kb/s Mono
It's only temporary for when I get a new connection in the future because at the moment my connection varies in upload speeds and download speeds so I am going to get ye old mother to have a look at getting a new ISP.
Any suggestions from people in the UK? I am thinking Virgin Media.
-
RUSTY lol you made a little mestake I hear you not the music (breathing swearing at your ..?sister?) you should check the mic settings :rofl:
Lol angry scotsman on air (he said f**k like 5 times already)
OMG, I can't believe I lost that... :cry:
-
Roadkill, am using Virgin Media there quite good except the Cable Modems they give you are Crap (Mine Broke within 2 Months). Get the 20MB Package though it costs only £10 a Month for 3 Months if you get Virgin Phone aswell overall good ISP.
-
Parox, you have the same problem as me...
-
To Iggy Or Giac -
TupacSforza, said he doesn't want to Be a DJ Anymore due to the fact he has Problems and doesn't have any interest anymore, I told him to tell you guys about it but i guess he didn't so am just letting you know. So i think you should consider Accepting one of the other people who posted an App but didn't make It.
-
Ok we will talk about it
-
My bitrate is extemely low at the moment. It's pissing me off. :mad: I hate my ISP!
-
Those using SAM, please send me a PM if you're hearing yourself back.
It's a problem with SAM not knowing where you want the sound to go to once it's been captured...

I have this problem also with other software always fix it though (and forget how :razz:)
but why dont you make a little tutorial for SAM (if youd like) so Giac can sticky it for future Dj's
Dont use PM for info that might benefit more people share it out :D
-
Ok I'm doing it. It'll be in the radio board in a min...
