tjmarx Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Hi, I know there is a tutorial for this on this website but when I click to view it, it takes me to something about how to do a field interview. What I want to know is simply how do setup SAM Broadcaster 4 to broadcast a skype call, while still being able to play music in between and mute the skype call when music is playing. I however do not want echo or feedback in the broadcast, nor can the method involve using 2 PCs or 2 sound cards. It has to be able to work with a single sound card on a single computer. Any help would be great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJDJRadio Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Is doing this this way any better than using a 2nd computer to run skype through? Im using it that way now and i get a delay between the caller and myself. sucks during interviews... I was thinking i should try this way.

DaveyC Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I don't think it matters. Delay like what im guessing you're talking about probably wouldn't appear just by running it all through a second computer. Chances are that the delay is coming from the fact you're broadcasting at the same time. I'm not too sure of the upload/download bandwidth numbers of skype off hand. However, I experienced the exact same problems once before. Callers seemed to be having a massive amount of delay. I havent tried this route, however, you could try using a "softphone" and a VoIP number (sipgate provide these free), you can then link them to your softphone (much like skype) and try that. The reason i am suggesting this is that you can get a much lower bandwidth consumption as they have a multitude of codecs. Maybe try that?

I use the skype program on my laptop and i take the mic and head phone slot there and run it into my board... my board sends the audio to my desktop which i run sam broadcaster from. Maybe im not understanding your suggustion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBVoice Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I use a phone mixer system with my studio line, but back when I used magic jack for all my on air calls, it worked the best this way: Have one PC run Magic Jack (http://www.magicjack.com) $19.99 per year (unlimited calls) and you get your own phone number Run a cable from the headphone jack to the mixer, and use a built in mic turned up all the way on the magic jack pc. You want to use the softphone (no phone cable plugged into magic jack) This is by far the best way to do it, I think, because Magic Jack doesnt use much bandwidth, well, not as much as skype. Now, a possible fix for the delay might be not running the mic (your voice) to the mic input on the skype laptop. Instead, use the built in mic on the laptop, it usually will pick up audio from the whole room, and minuses the small delay. Maybe try that, if u dont want to get magic jack -JB Thats my two or three cents -JB Jon Bova "Successful people have libraries.

JBVoice Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Here is what I originally had, before I bought my new one. This would not necessarily be good for skype, unless you forwarded skype calls to a landline or magic jack. http://www.bswusa.com/proditem.asp?item=INLINEPATCH Jon Bova "Successful people have libraries.

You can always forward skype calls to another number, such as Magic Jack, and then start giving out the Magic Jack number too, once people get use to a new number, close the skype number ;) -jb Jon Bova "Successful people have libraries.
