Community Open Mic - optional 'festive theme' - hosted by Justin - Friday 6th December

[MollyT]

Hi @Richard_close2u I would like to put my hat in the ring for one song. UTC.

[skeletor83]

I’d love to do one if there’s a spot. I’ve been meaning to re-try the jazz arrangement of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas from last year Or maybe find something Christmas and Bluesy for the BLIMers. UTC-8

[Malz]

Are you playing ‘Merry Little’? I ask as that is what we have been working on. Not a problem.

[skeletor83]

No, I was looking at either this Freddie King song or BB’s version of Backdoor Santa

[Malz]

Cool, thanks for getting back to us.

[LievenDV]

I really reget I can’t join, I already have a yearly activity on that date.

Love to see the recording aftwards though.
Love this great bunch of people <3

[Richard_close2u]

Any more performers?

[akkana]

Newbie question (I haven’t been to one of these Open Mics yet): where will the youtube link be posted, for audience members?

[Richard_close2u]

@akkana In the Community.
And it will simply be open to public viewing on Youtube.

@Richard_close2u

This event will be hosted by Justin on Streamyard and broadcast live to Youtube.

A query please Richard, I am not familiar with Streamyard and how it functions in the ‘AV chain’. Is their prior learning required for a performer to interface with the App?

I am only familiar with using the Zoom interface, a challenge in itself, currently used in JGC OM’s.

Thanks in advance

I am not familiar with Steamyard and how it functions

Good question Colin.
There was a discussion on using Streamyard for a previous Justin hosted OM.
Not sure where without looking. I have never performed at one of these.

I can give a brief summary of what to expect ‘within the studio’ .

FAO Performers … are any of you wanting to use complex signal chains or simple plug n play audio interface or simple camera / mic setups?

[brianlarsen]

Same ol’ webcam/mic setup for me

The madman has you covered

Guide to Streamyard Audio and Video Checks

Thank you, James, I will have a look at that post

[Elixir1253]

Thank you, Richard, I am currently using my KISS set-up, namely:

Vox Mic & Guitar PU => Boss Acoustic Amp => Focusrite AI => Zoom App, hosted on PC

I will also look at @Socio 's Link too for a steer on Steamyard for ‘noobs’.

I was wondering because I have read mixed press on Streamyard; some folks rebadging it as “Steam- pile” … … but there are nay-sayers for most Apps …

[Eccleshall]

Hi Richard,
I’d like to perform on the seasonal OM if possible,
Cheers

If that signal chain replaces Zoom with Streamyard you’ll be good.

[TheMadman_tobyjenner]

Been a long time since I wrote that guide and have not participated in any of the recent LS Shows (think I did the first 2 back in the day - old forum) but it should be a case of just declaring your Camera and Audio set up within the Streamyard settings as shown and is very similar to Zoom in that respect, assuming nothing has changed.

If you do this in advance ie follow the guide for checking levels ahead of the show, your settings will be carried forward and ready for your live performance.

Hope that helps.

Hi @Richard_close2u : It turns out I cannot make this time after all. I was hoping I could sneak away, but I just found out that this is in the middle of the workday here in Indiana. Please remove me from the list of performers. Sorry for the flip-flop.
