How's everyone doing?  For those of us in countries where we're socially isolating (or even sheltering in place...or in quarantine), a lot of people are live streaming from their houses or practice spaces, which is a good way of building connection.

Last Monday (the 16th), I started doing a one-hour audio-only live stream from 8-9 PM EDT (GMT-4). This will be at http://onezeromusic.com:8000. (I start the server right before the performance and shut it down right after.)  Archives go up at https://snwv.bandcamp.com shortly afterward.

Post your live stream URL and date/time in this thread!

I love the idea! I was planning on livestreaming on the weekend just gone but... didn't. Can I ask what you're using to do it?

Sure! I'm using guitar into a Max/MSP patch.  I'm routing audio output with Existential Audio's free BlackHole, which is a lot easier to work with than Jack. As far as Max is concerned, audio goes to a BlackHole Device. 

Next in line is the acronymic Broadcast Using This Tool, which receives from the BlackHole device, and it streams to an IceCast server I installed on a cloud instance.

Ah that's awesome, thanks! I forgot IceCast even exist. Sounds like a drug thing tbh. How good is BlackHole though?

So how does Blackhole compare to Soundflower?  First time I've heard of it but it reads well.

I'd never gotten Soundflower to work.  I think it might not be as flexible as Soundflower, from what I'm hearing from friends who liked it...but BlackHole's a currently-developing project, while the free Soundflower project seems to have been abandoned for a while.  (With BH, you can request features by filing a github issue.)

Cheers.  Sounds promising.

Are you still doing this?  I tried to listen in and couldn’t get to the server.

Still doing these Monday at 8PM, (GMT -4).  Server goes on right before and off right after--it's an older icecast that I don't seem to be able to update right now.  Archives are going up at https://snwv.bandcamp.com.

Thank you for stopping by to listen!  I'll post here next week with a convenient link.
