Solid State Drives Saved My DJ Life

Image
In 2013 I had a traditional spindle hard drive fail on me taking some of my music collection with it. I'd backed up some of my music to another hard drive but not all of it by the time the drive finally gave us I/O read errors. My Husband suggested we go to a well known electronics store at the time (Maplins Now Closed) for a Solid State upgrade kit. Getting a Solid State Drive in my Computer was my best move ever! The 240GB drive is in my current computer and to have it functioning 10 years later means its been worth every £££ we paid. I've used the SSD to run my Copies of RadioDJ Free radio Automation and its been plain sailing since 2013 The only DOWNTIME I've had is Windows Updates or Driver Updates in CCleaner. The whole Windows experience is a LOT better on Solid State Drives Windows 10/11 seem to be stable I haven't had a BSOD or crash in ages Solid state makes my computers run faster and the CPU runs cooler

Thank You Voicemeeter (VB Audio)

Last week I reinstalled Windows 11 on my laptop as something had gone wrong with the Bluetooth After reinstalling I was struggling to get audio from my speakers despite having updated drivers. Then I had a thought about seeing if Voicemeeter would help the issue. BINGO I had audio again Voicemeeter was allowing me to channel the audio from RadioDJ to a Bluetooth connection. I've LOVED Voicemeeter since it came out its a Genius piece of software. Voicemeeter easily allows you to route audio from your PC to your output. With Voicemeeter there is no need for a Microphone/Input/Voice FX Button. Voicemeeter will make your audio POP and sound more Professional. As for the Audio driver issue on the Windows 11 laptop I've troubleshot as much as I can BUT to no avail its confusing.

SAM Broadcaster Pro Crashes on Windows 11

I've been watching tweets from a SAM Broadcaster user who's been having stability issues with SAM on Windows 11 Hey @spacial when are you going to fix Sam Broadcaster Pro? It crashes on Windows 11 over-and-over-and-over again when I am running my show! Its the same story with SAM Broadcaster when a new operating system comes out its either NOT compatiable or it crashes. Whereas I've tested Radio DJ over-and-over-and-over again on Windows 11 and it does EVERYTHING I ask of it. No activations – No contracts - No keys – No hidden fees - No spyware – No catches How To Install RadioDJ How many more times do I have to say this? Spacial Audio release software that is NOT fit for its Purpose

Sam Broadcaster Pro Crashes

I recently thought I'd install & see if anything changed with the latest version of SAM Broadcaster Pro SADLY IT HADN'T I started SAM Broadcaster after I configured it connected it to Shoutcast pressed play and off it went or so I thought. I got called away to help a neighbour with something & I was only gone from the computer for 10/15 minutes IF that. When I came back my stream was silent NOTHING was playing just dear air. I looked on the computer & an error message said SAM Broadcaster had STOPPED WORKING you know, that really annoying error! I had it on a clean and fresh install of Windows 11 only Sam Broadcaster was installed After testing SAM Broadcaster Pro it froze displaying the usual critical error (Unexpected Exception Occurred) After 20 years those SAM Broadcaster problems should be a thing of the past Nothing has changed with SAM Broadcaster It's still prone to crashing without warning Why do people s
