Its Really Easy To Stream Audio From Your Computer

As the title of the post suggests it need not be a faff when you want to stream audio on the Internet.

IT can seem daunting setting up an Streaming Encoder for the first time.

Its not difficult to setup a streaming encoder all you need is a Rocket Broadcaster, Shoutcast or Icecast Server to stream your Audio to.

The hardest part is configuring the soundcard and encoder options. Once thats done the world really is your Oyster.

I currently use Sound Empire Caster to stream audio and its rare to have an issue. I've certainly not noticed any buffering.

I know other users of Sound Empire Caster have only good things to say about it.

How To Configure An Encoder

After configuring the encoder you then need to configure the audio from whichever audio source you want to broadcast live.

Some people use Virtual Audio Cables to pipe their music output to their encoding program.

Streaming is really popular now so you need to make your stream stand out from the crowd if you want to win lots of listeners.

No one wants to listen to a poor audio output

So make sure you configure your audio settings before going Live

I've been streaming on and off for the best part of 20 years now and its a lot easier to stream now than it was

People didn't always have broadband connections years ago that could handle streaming.

I shudder when I think back to DIAL UP connections.

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.
