![]() What I really enjoyed was that because others could hear the music I wasn’t having to cue people back in when the song finished and it changed the dynamic of the chatter in a way I liked. That’s the setup that I used last Saturday and Sunday to broadcast with Sarah and Johanna, and on Sunday with Maren and Tannis. I then piped Blackhole into Skype as the Mic input. I made a composite feed in Audio Hijack, piped into BlackHole via an Output Device block. ![]() I had a few issues with Soundflower on my Mac so I thought I’d check out BlackHole instead. I was still undecided about buying a license for Loopback – it is pretty pricey. So that little futzing moment was a breakthrough as I knew exactly how to strip my own voice out of the Skype feed. I have to pipe my mic into the composite stream going into Skype for everyone on the call to hear me, but the quality of the feed coming out of Skype really wasn’t great enough that I was happy to have that instead of a direct mic feed. The crappy audio issue I mentioned above when playing with Loopback was because my own mic was doubled up it was coming out of the Skype feed with everyone else, and *also* coming in as it’s own direct feed. The trick to piping the music into Skype for others to hear whilst broadcasting involves (1) creating a composite feed of whatever is playing the music plus my mic (2) feeding that in as the mic input to Skype. Using that block I’d stripped my own mic out of the Skype feed into the broadcast. People had commented previously about the Skype audio on our broadcast, with my voice in one ear and Tannis and Maren in another. I had been playing around with the set up and left a Channels block set to Duplicate Right enabled on the Skype feed in. ![]() For a bit at the start of the show nobody could hear my mic at all on the broadcast. I didn’t go back to it again seriously for quite some time, but a few weeks before we took our break, we had a little on-air futz at the start of a broadcast which turned out to be a lightbulb moment. I was swithering on whether to buy a license for Loopback but in the tests I did I was struggling with some crappy audio on my own mic stream so I held off. My first broadcasting set up in Audio Hijack was a pretty simple affair, and in the last post I wrote about it I described an idea I had for feeding the music being played back into Skype using Loopback so that Tannis and Maren could hear it whilst it was being broadcast. As much as anything I’ve enjoyed the learning and experimentation that’s come with it. Once the Setup tab is properly configured, you likely won't need to change it.I’ve been further tinkering with and trying to improve on my #ds106radio broadcasting set-up and have had a little bit of a breakthrough which has finally led to me getting a new setup in place that I’m pretty chuffed with.
