Recording and Broadcasting with Nicecast, Skype and a Mac

40:29 minutes (18.54 MB)Listen in to Lee Baber and Derrall's webcast audio tutorial explaining how to set- up your Mac for broadcasting and recording using Nicecast, Skype, and Sound Preferences. Both usb headsets and usb mics are addressed. 

Recording Skype call (two sides)

After some frustration with what I thought were setting issues, Lee B helped me out and it turns out my dual 1/8th inch plug headset wasn't going to work for this. I went to the local Radio Shack and ended up with a Logitec 250 USB headset, and things went MUCH smoother! I figured I'd post the settings here that worked, since they are a little different from Lee's screencast since she's using other software.

System prefs : Sound : output and input set to Logitec USB

Mac Settings for recording telephony with Audio Hijack Pro

So, I had trouble following the settings for recording two sides of a telephony call (skype), so once I found settings that worked, I figured I'd post them here for anyone else who might need them.

System prefs : Sound : output and input set to Logitec USB

Audio Hijack settings : Source type: Skype (it'll restart skype if you have it open)

None of this covers the audio specs - I'll be doing editing in Audacity to get those set correctly. 

Bit rate 64 settings using a Mac

I am feeling little challenged - something that I am sure will be a consistent phenomena for the next 6 weeks. Learning the concept in "windowspeak" and then translating to "macspeak is a bit of a learning curve. I found the method to set a bit rate of 64 for the Mac version of Audacity is established in Audacity preferences> File Format> MP3 Export Setup then the drop down menu> 64. If I have posted this entry twice - it maybe the beginning of that head knocking thing I heard about.

Note: Make sure to follow Lee Barber's screencast
for ­proper Nicecast settings for headphones and ignore mine. Watch mine if you want to see the overall process.

Success At Last!

It only took a brand new iMac and about 10 minutes of chatting with the fabulous Lee Baber and I was streaming and recording live on Sandbox B! Yahoo! I can't believe how clean and simple webcasting with a mac is. All you need is Nicecast and Skype.

...not unimportant is your bandwidth! I was struggling sometimes and then realized why when I checked - I'm only getting 768kb upload with my DSL. For me 2 MG would cost more than $300 per month... ahh soon everyone will have good bandwidth... 

Skype Group Chat

Hi all, I just re-watched the screencast, http://www.screencast.com/users/edtechtalk/folders/Jing/media/272919a5-f...

about using Skype group chats - am I crazy or do those preferences not exist for mac?
