Hi Marty. Ok, just lose the line recording plugin, you don't need it
man. Also like i said, there's no need to make the Shoutcast
plugin second command in the SQR crossfader. I'm telling ya, you can
absolutely do it the way you want with the configuration I gave ya a few
days ago. Just make sure that your volume for your mic is turned up. If
this still doesn't work, why not try out the Sam Encoders from Spacial
audio? With the demo you are limited to 4 hours of continuous use, but you
aren't required to change any volume settings or anything. Listen to my
main menu review of it in the archives and you'll get a feel for it there.
Also, when you set it up, make sure your sound card is selected rather than
the audio pipeline. If audio pipeline is selected, it's like having the
advanced controls turned off in shoutcast. In other words, allpeople are
gonna hear is music because it's not seing your sound card where everything
is coming from.
