Sound Empire Caster (Stand Alone Encoder)
In my tests SEC held up for 4 weeks and was only taken offline for Windows Updates.
I've heard nothing but good things about the stability of the software it streams as a good encoding solution should.
SE Caster is a perfect encoder that's very stable, lightweight and easy to configure
There aren't many places to configure it if you've used a program with built in encoders you shouldn't have any problems.
Its no more difficult to configure a standalone encoder than it is to configure a built in encoder.
Unzip the program folder and place on the C:\ drive outside of the program folder.
Sound Empire Caster works on Windows 11
Sound Empire supports the use of DSP plugins so it may be an alternative if you want to use DSP audio processing.
Place the required DSP files in the SE Caster program folder.
TIP 1: If you get a blank message box pop up you need to go into the SECaster folder and delete the current .ini file.
Then set your default soundcard after you restart Sound Empire Caster
TIP 2: If you get white noise over your stream whilst using SE Caster just switch on the AGC in RadioDJ, we've been informed that alleviates the issue.
TIP 3: If the metadata/titles don't automatically start with your encoder
Just give the stream a quick stop and start and metadata should then start populating on your stream again.
TIP 4: If the encoders don't auto connect go into the SECaster.ini file and change Auto=0 TO Auto=1 and click save and restart SE Caster.
If SE Caster doesn't recognise your on board soundcard on Windows 10 you may need to Install Virtual Audio cables or Voicemeeter
Voicemeeter can capture audio from your Microphone output from your mixer
Voicemeeter negates the need for VoiceFX or Microphone buttons in certain software
I now recommend V B AUDIO as Virtual Audio Cable Software
28.02.2022:
Given the situation in Ukraine I think its probably safe to say that Sound Empire Caster updates may be delayed INDEFINITELY.
Sound Empire Caster was/is coded by a Ukrainian. I hope him and his family are safe.
That saddens me as Sound Empire Caster was showing some real promise and is a great encoding program.
