NEW YEAR'S EVE 2010 ELECTRO-MUSIC LIVE STREAMING CONCERT

4th Annual
NEW YEAR'S EVE 2010
ELECTRO-MUSIC LIVE STREAMING CONCERT

It's almost that time again to RING IN The NEW YEAR around the world with another Live Streaming Concert on Thursday, December 31st to Friday, Janurary 1st!

NYE2010 will be representing many genres of electronic and electro-acoustic music from several countries around the world!

This event is open to all members of electro-music.com. We would prefer that people would stream a LIVE performance from their studios. However, if you cannot perform live we can make exceptions if needed.

If you are interested in participating please sign up on this thread with the following information:

Set Length: 30 or 60 mins
Short Description:
Website Address:

Please note: "Preferred Start Time". We will do the best that we can to accommodate people to their requested times. However, please be flexible because this event will have European and American musicians in many different time zones. Time slots will be on a semi-"first come-first served" basis... with European musicians taking preference to play earlier in the day due to the 6 to 7 hour time difference.

As in the past, the CHATROOM will serve as an invaluable communication tool for set up, streaming, and connecting to those listening. I suggest participants get familiar with it in advance, if you aren't already.

If you want a recording of your set, it would be prudent to record your own set, rather than depend on others. Accidents and mistakes happen...especially in this format. There are many ways to record your set. Edcast has a built in recording system. You can also record your stream from your mixer on the signal path to the computer.

It is IMPERATIVE that everyone test their connections before we start streaming. At least 24 hours before or sooner. Sorry, but musicians WILL NOT be allowed to stream on Sunday if you do not test 24 hours before hand. Not only does it delay the schedule, but causes unneeded stress on performer, server operator, and audience during performance time.

ALL STREAMS MUST BE AT 128 kbps, 44.1 kHz , stereo.

Mosc: TO DO THE STREAMING, all you need is a PC with Oddcast (now called Edcast), a free program. If you have a MAC, you can use the Nicecast program (free demo works for a month the last time we tried it) to stream. If you are are interested in participating, we'll set up a test server just for you to experiment on to make sure you can get it to work.

PC users can download Edcast here. The stand-alone version is recommended. http://www.oddsock.org/tools/edcast/
