Live voiceovers.
I've been seeing a lot of questions on the forums lately on the topic of live voice over music. The SHOUTcast DSP works just fine for basic voice-over-music functionality but I found it a bit restrictive and not containing all the features that I wanted. That is the reason why I developed LiveWire, and is no longer in beta. The plugin does have some major caveats though:
The features you will find in this plugin that I believed were missing in the mixing function of the SHOUTcast DSP:
It's also completely 100% free, forever, to any individual/entity/corporation/whatever. There is no trial version or lite version or nags or advertisements. 100% free permanently. The only person it cost was me for my time to create it. I know at first it can look intimidating but if you play with it long enough you can tweak it to suite your desires. I only ask you to at least give it a try. |

I was experimenting to see if it would work with my Icecast stuff. Unfortunately my edcast is giving me a Divide by zero error in the stacker.
BUT A NICE Suprise. I found out Butt (Broadcast using this tool) works with live stereo mix in Vista/Win7. The only downfall is that butt was not configured properly to handel the xsl metadata transfer for Icecast. Works for what-u-hear, but no dice on getting display info to update properly. For winamp? Works like a champ. Only handles one encoder, but works like a champ. KNSJ.org 89.1 FM San Diego |

No, it's basically complete so there's no need to develop it further (unless usage explodes and PMs flood in for other features) except to maybe add some buffer control configuration stuff at my leisure if it becomes an issue. Since it really only required my time to make it there would be no point in getting money for it.
Thanks for the offer though. |

I think one of the answers is to hunt down Daniel Noethan and see what it would take for him to update his software for Icecast.
Im pretty sure the Error with the DSP stacker was a conflict between the Edcast and Spacials old DSP stacker. KNSJ.org 89.1 FM San Diego |

Had to get some sleep (been a while). I think it has something to do with whole user/admin/program permissions thing.
I run XP on desktop. and it seems to run. Going to try again, but this time, after I get it re-installed, close, and reopen as administrator. I have a hunch its something to do with the stacker opening the DSP plug-ins thats causing Vista to crap out with winamp. KNSJ.org 89.1 FM San Diego |

Brutish Sailor ... if you still suspect edcast ... try edcast from here - http://users.tpg.com.au/radiorio/ - cleaned up a lot of code, fixed a few annoying bugs, compiled with VS2008 - never know, could fix a bug or two
"If you don't like DNAS, write your own damn system" So I did |

![]() Whammy! Stacker loaded with it. The trick is to keep the stacker from having the semi-transparent cloud of death in vista, you must run Winamp as administrator. Now time to load up a test server when I get home, and make it fly with what you hear. Already wrote Noethen as well at sourceforge to see if he can fixc BUTT to send XSL data for Icecast. Should of also requested multi server stream serving, but I think he built it with lightweight in mind. KNSJ.org 89.1 FM San Diego |

Resized the images through photo bucket, usually has issues with that at times. Should have used GIMP.
Give me just a bit, working with Noethan on the XSL issue for BUTT with loudcity's servers now. For the test with Edcast and Livewire, going to set up a server, set up streamripper on my home server (true Irony) and run it with 4 sound cards: On board Realtek HD Sound Blaster X-FI Platinum Fatal1ty edition Sound Blaster audigy and Sound Blaster MNNX2 USB See how it sounds with them all. Already have a couple of royalty free tunes to run test with. Use CamSudio to record the movements, and I will output the Streamripped sample onto the video using AVI Tricks Classic, so it matches the real time actions of what Im altering on the panel for livewire.

I do appreciate you giving it a go and look forward to seeing your results when they come out. P.S. In your last post you mentioned "CamStudio". Never heard of it before you mentioned it and I was looking for something like that a while ago. So glad you mentioned it. Gonna have to try it out when I finally get home. ![]() |

Wow, last post to this thread was in late June!
Updated BogProg LiveWire 1.1 Beta! NSIS packed installer inside ZIP archive attached. In this update:
Note: I noticed after running the installer on my computer Winamp still showed the old version string in the DSP list in the Preferences window. If it bothers you, tell Winamp to purge the plugin name cache and then restart Winamp. Please let me know if you experience any trouble with this DSP. ![]() Last edited by thinktink; 18th September 2010 at 19:51. |

Has anybody tested this yet or is it too soon to ask? I see there have been 6 "views" of it so far.

Even newer version teaser screenshot:
As you can see, 1.3 now comes with a built-in fully functional internal DSP stacker (tested with Wine as well.) A new bypass module was also introduced. It allows you to quell the effect of LiveWire mixing functions so that you can patch the output of Winamp to Skype or TeamSpeak or whatever and not be heard twice. It now saves the activation state and the last tab displayed on quit/reload. Also tweaked the U.I. so that the RMS% meter is always visible unless you double click it to hide to try to save some CPU cycles if you're not using it. ![]() WARNING! Don't stack a stacker unless you know what you're doing. |

I was so scared I would scroll down and see something that I should not have in
your dsp list ![]() ![]() Again this is great work,I would say that the functionality is great,maybe a little more focus on usability is all that is needed to make this complete. It is a bit technical,so anything that can make it easier to use would be a bonus. ![]() So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish. ![]() ![]() |

Thanks for the encouragement. What kind of usability improvements did you have in mind?

Your asking the wrong person.
I too struggle with usability in anything I do,in such circumstances I often draw upon the experience of others who have greater understanding in this area. Take some of the new sc2 tools as an example. The amazing functionality in sc_trans,is not matched by usability. I would stick my neck out and say very little thought went into usability,because of the time spent with the "magic under the hood". Find somebody who is good with gui presentation/layout and bring them in to help out ![]() So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish. ![]() ![]() |

LiveWire 1.3 is now available from my home server. The download will probably be slow BECAUSE it is my home server but at least it's there! lol
