You can alsouse a dsp audio stacker to compress and add more punch to oru music. I did this this week but my archive is corrupted. ah ell you can hear it nexst week on the 28th
:> Hi Everyone, :> :> Ok finally figured it all out. I had a USB microphone plugged into :> the system. So everytime I switched the input mode from winamp to :> soundcard it was using the USB microphone as the soundcard. I :> stumbled upon this when I forgot and left the microphone switch on :> and was playing with the input settings while streaming and heard my :> voice from the USB microphone. I unplugged it and the SoundBlaster :> took over and everything works just fine. Oviously the winamp :> shoutcast plug-in can't handle more than one sound card as the combo :> box only says winamp or sound card for the inputs and I was not able :> to select from the USB microphone and the SoundBlaster. I plugged :> in a USB sound card after I started streaming to get Jaws to switch :> to it instead of the sound blaster. So all my problems were due to :> the USB microphone. That's really crazy isn't it? :> :> Now to see if I can teach my client to do this. Thank you everyone :> that gave me advice, especially Jonathan that got me going in the :> right direction tonight. :> :> Rick :> :> :> ======= :> :> Visit my webpage and podcast feed at www.blind-geek-zone.net :> :> :> ----- Original Message ----- :> From: "Jessica Pitzer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> :> To: "PC audio discussion list." <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> :> Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2007 11:01 PM :> Subject: Re: Shoutcast help needed :> :> :> you have to get jaws of that sound card somehow. :> :> On 5/24/07, Rick Harmon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: :>> Hi, :>> :>> Yes I just went in to Goldwave and did a test recording.
