skidder652003 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 So, in these troubled times I imagine a few of us have thought about live streaming. My band were due to give it a go tonight from the drummers studio but I pulled the plug (literally) for obvious reasons. However we had done a little research into how to do it and at the point of cancellation this is what we had in mind. Band set up and fully mic'd, Guitar cab , Bass DI, all drums individually and overheads and obviously vocals into PA as per usual gig setup All into desk and mixed beautifully (hopefully!) 2 outs from desk to scarletti 2i2, this goes into USB port of Macbook Pro That's the audio sorted Now for the Video and streaming side of things.. In theory, as we had won't now get to test this out for tonight, 1 x canon 5D DSLR as main camera, and 2 x go pro type cameras for different angles all USB again to mac book (if not enough USB ports I have a windows 10 PC with more than enough) That's the video sorted Streaming.. Free download of OBS Studio. I played around with this at home and managed to get 2 cameras and my bass into the scarletti and streaming on FB without too many issues (apart from confused comments from FB friends and some lagging) but what I'm proposing above is a bit more complicated, it's a shame we won't get a chance to give this all a go, I love challenges like that! Alternatives? A camera on a tripod streaming FB Live! So simple but so poor sound wise and one camera only. Anyone else had a go at this? All suggestions welcome.
