How To Set Up Your DJ STREAM?

[@taidusthealien]

For any new streamers getting into things, please understand that you might not get as many viewers as you think you will when just starting out no matter if its DJing or playing a game for an audience overtime the numbers will grow as long as you show them that you are working hard on maintaining that online presence for them cause if you aren't serious about it then people watching wont take your channel as serious as well so keep in mind I've been streaming for 3 years and i average 10 viewers to 15 a day and even though I wish it could be higher It took a lot of dedication and perseverance to keep my mind focused on having fun and streaming for the small amount of people who come by rather than being discouraged by streaming a whole year and averaging 2 or 3 viewers per stream remember those 2 or 3 people with be the back bone for your success in getting that bigger audience so never quit and dont be discouraged it takes quite some time to get to a comfortable spot yall. Thanks for reading your homie Taidus

First time streamers be sure to tweak your output settings (resolution, bitrate, etc.) so you have a stable stream with no dropped frames. OBS has a huge community of helpful people with lots of tutorials to make sure your viewers get to see and hear the best of your performance.

[@magikgee3066]

Is there specific settings or is ist just a traila and error?

[@andyrofl]

@@magikgee3066 little bit of trial and error. first I'd say check your upload speed and set the bitrate to about half that. 30 fps 720p is fine, 1080p60 would be the top end if you have the bandwidth. 320 kbps for audio. Constant Bitrate is best, and overall you're trying to get 0 dropped frames with as good visual quality as your equipment can handle.

[@YakAttack915]

I'll dig into it! My question is how do you set up audio where you can speak into a mic without it picking up the music from your monitors? I know you can directly stream the music from mixer to computer, but when you speak into the mic, wouldn't it create an echo effect on the listener's side (hearing music pumped from mixer and then background music from monitors as you're talking)? Thx!

[@Djmarteemcfly]

Do you guys use Wireless or plugged into Ethernet

[@andyrofl]

@@YakAttack915 Pulling the filter knob to high or low usually cuts enough out that I don't get an echo

[@DJALBMUSIC]

Besides being one of the greatest DJs ever your are also a great humble guy. Thank you, I have learned a lot from you.

[@AdornationMusic]

I used to think the same Trust me I've met him he's not what he shows on youtube like nice sweet guy surely a wonderful and super talented dj and producer no doubt about it.. I've also met few bigger djs than him i wouldn't name them but like they are definitely massive djs and producer even more famous and successful than luke who are just so down to earth and super friendly but not this guy he's got lil attitude problem... again not trying to bad mouth him or anything i have alot of respect for him for his works.. but as a person i don't know, humble is not the word i would use lol

[@AdornationMusic]

@DJ ALB jusr checked your mixes too i subscribed to your channel 😀 nice mixes nice house music

[@DJALBMUSIC]

@@AdornationMusic unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to meet him personally, I wish I had since he inspired me a lot with his videos when I started djing years ago. I believe he is very talented and creative DJ and I respect and admire him for his work in the same way I do with other great DJs like him. I find his educational videos very straight forward and easy to understand. Man! you are so lucky for knowing some of all these fantastic DJs out there, I envy you in a good way of course ;)

[@DJALBMUSIC]

@@AdornationMusic Thanks man, I appreciate it!

[@AdornationMusic]

@@DJALBMUSIC haha i understand 😅 it's not like i know them personally or anything but a little meet and greet and small chat on their gigs yeah.. it's like i ask them or security to allow me backstage and looking at my passion in my eyes they never say no to me them artists can see the love and respect for them or it could be that i get lucky but yeah i love music so so much man it's a rush i can't explain.. soon m starting my own channel where I'll do live mixing of some great music out there maybe a producer one day hopefully.. good luck to you too man 👍👍👍 maybe someday I'll come to your gig requesting security to let me meet you 😀

[@ChristianSmithChannel]

Nice and useful video Luke!

[@djaya.official]

Thanks Mixmash Records and Laidback Luke for this wonderful experience and for the the generous prize which has made the quarantine more bearable, I can't wait to play some grooves on the Denon Prime Go. Regarding today's topic for those who are using Windows and Android, I am using for connecting the Android phone as a webcam to the PC a software called Iriun Webcam, it works great only with the Wi Fi connection (no cables needed) and it supports up to 4k resolution, the software is basically free, they add a small logo on the right corner of the screen and if you want to remove the logo it will cost you around 5 Euro, the rest of the setup is the same, OBS for streaming and a external sound card for capturing the sound from my Denon DJ Prime 4

[@loxindnb]

The app IP Webcam is completely free and practically does the same. :)

[@djaya.official]

@@loxindnb I don't know if this will work with OBS, It sends the video signal via IP like a surveillance camera not as a webcam connected to your computer, anyway i will try it in the afternoon

[@loxindnb]

@@djaya.official Indeed it does, I've experimented with it yesterday and so far so good 👍

[@tune_m]

@@djaya.official You can use the Browser source within OBS to use IP cameras. It works fine but the connection will probably be less stable compared to a connection through USB. That said, streaming in 4k is obviously not feasible for most people either.

[@jorgeortiz8542]

Hey, just to be clear is the external sound card you talk about the Irig 2 or the Prime 4?

[@3rdPrototype]

Keep on doing these absolutely awesome vlogs LL!

[@OliverJensen]

I don't DJ but I still love watching your videos

[@eskei83]

the OBS app and my (old) iPhone beats every Webcam and GoPro! great vlog Luke!

[@hackerbeatz2220]

I really don't follow your dj career or watch your videos but you seem like the type of guy I would have a great conversation with...really nice guy..you seem like you care. Respect

[@djmerow]

Thank you again Luke and Mixmash Records!! I’m still so happy to be one of the 4 winners🙏🏻 and congratulations to Aya!! Hope you’ll have a lot of fun with the Denon Prime Go☺️

[@vivekchachra]

Hi ! Will focusrite solo be useful ?

[@kcbryan8134]

How can you not like laidback Luke??? This guy is so cool with no ego or intimidation when giving advice.Or answers to questions

[@yoresistersass9326]

Simple ...he plays beats u don't dig.. I never cared for him... But I know a couple people that met him personally and from what they say he's a good dude

[@walkseeworld888]

Thank you 🙏 ❤

[@DJFrizzie]

KISSES TO YA FOR THIS VIDEO!!! 2021 WE PUMPED!!! Btw how do we record the live stream. look forward to ya reply. is there a way to live stream straight to youtube FB & Ig at the same time? which platform do you live stream on?

[@EZLynxTV]

in Obs there's a plugin called win capture audio it will separate the audio tracks from cue to master (i.e master set to realtek speakers , cue set to line - *dj model*) the gist is you can transform your pc audio into a virtual soundcard for streaming and you can manage every audio outputting program in it i.e rekordbox - audio a discord - audio b etc..

[@hatetomate599]

I love how you just gave everyone a tutorial for something relatively to do and just made it even simpler. Going to try this and see if gives that seamless audio and video stream without those odd gaps that have the stream jump. Thanks for this

[@TravelingByRoad]

Laidback my motivator, you give me so much tips and knowledge as a senior dj. more blessings

[@meisselsmith]

Great video! I love how this one was truly about something we all could relate, really simple stuff yet creative (all the cheap lighting and moving Your tv ,etc.)!!!

[@imnodjproductions1166]

So nice of you to share all this info with everyone. Great Job

[@djjammindave]

WHAT A SUCH PROFESSIONAL VIDEO. AND THE HOST KEEPS YOU GLUED TO THE SCREEN.

[@sigdeagler]

You can also use the soundcard from your mixer, if you have an integrated one (like on the Prime & Nxs Series) No need for an external one ;)

[@CptScrade]

does it work without an external interface too on Prime 4?

[@78fatman]

You fastly became my favorite Dj. Your vlogs are helpful to those that are either beginning their journey or those that are just needing some tips to further along their carriers.

[@LEAPINGTHROUGHMEMORIES]

I left watching videos when you were a dedicated dad. I returned after a long time.. Its good to see that you are once again a family guy 👍

[@CHRISLVCK]

[@bigrippp]

Thank you great information

[@CatherineSunday]

I'm a simple person, I see a Laidback Luke video and I like it before I even pressed play.

[@djcalebsingh]

Thank you for the awesome advice! I just have a quick alternate software-recommendation: I used to use OBS, it's a really great piece of software for streaming, however, I recently tried Streamlabs' version (Streamlabs OBS) which has more features and, for me, it is a lot more user friendly. You can even multi-stream to various platforms and there's a remote app! Thanks for the awesome content as always Luke! 🙌🏽

[@NicDroid]

Aside from being a DJ and Music Producer, I'm also a game streamer and I wanna share some more few tips for my fellow DJs who are new to streaming: - The Facebook Live algorithm is pretty wonky and if detected a certain licensed/copyrighted song, it will stop your stream unlike other platforms like KZbin or Twitch. The best way to stream via Facebook Live is with your speakers (even though that's not highly recommended.) Your mileage may vary for some other countries. Otherwise, stream your sets on Twitch or KZbin. - You can also spice up your stream with some chatbox and alerts with Streamlabs (you can still use those widgets with your existing OBS setup without moving to Streamlabs OBS.) - And for Android users out there who are looking something similar to OBS Camera for iOS, you can use DroidCam (paid app, but supports both wired and wireless.) These tips might already be already given by somebody in this thread but it's still the thought that counts to help fellow DJs rocking at their houses! Kudos to LL for the great video on how to get started.

[@dennisgordon7767]

First time ive seen your face. You are pretty laid back. Thanks man and last part is super important wisdom

[@DJGETDATE]

I am curious as to why you chose to use the iRig Stream when the x1800, and assuming the x1850 have fairly robust interfaces with a standard USB cable. I always like to keep my signal chain as clean as possible. I generally use the USB interface out of the x1800 mixer to record and stream my sets, this way I am keeping the signal in the digital domain all the way to the audience. Other Pros include less cables, reduced RFI in the analog domain, and fewer places you need to mess with the gain throughout the signal chain. Great video!

[@thatjimmyperson]

Yea i agree. Also easy enough to cut out OBS as well with certain browsers.

[@tricia7171]

Thanks for this one. Have it in my saved videos. Just been holding up the phone and going live on fb. You're the best!!

[@lmandrums3118]

Heres what I'm doing, (Im a musician and a DJ, drummer, guitarist, etc) so I have a separate mixer that all my microphones run into and then I run the output into the iRig setup thing. (You can also plug a mic into the mic port on your DJ mixer) Through my main mixer, I can still have monitor outputs for my headphones, and when I'm DJ'ing, I use the headphone output on my controller. You can also set levels with an external mixer that's why I recommend it, and EQ of course. Keep up the great work Luke!!!

[@JOURNEYworldeats]

Wudang Chuan Kung Fu student and Dj too. Thank you very much for this video.

[@thomasvandenberg5570]

With the shortage of soundcards etc, Mac users and denon x1800 can use the software loopback to get the sound directly from your mixer usb 1 or 2 straight into the computer, then route channel line 9 and 10 with the software loopback into channel 1 and 2. Because obs only picks up channel 1 and 2.. only problem the software is expensive. But you can try it out for free. For 20 minutes per set.

Thanks Luke !. I was going to try this last week only to find out that neither of my 2 laptops had a line-in. So ive brought a USB soundcard that does, which arrived yesterday. So will have a play with this over the weekend. Im going to use my 4k action cam as the webcam.

[@Elazarko]

Do I necessarily need an audio interface or can a iRig stream be enough to stream with an instrment? How do I then monitor the sound? And also be able to speak to the audience?

[@mattleymusic3496]

[@nilshillebrecht4998]

Who did your amazing visuals?

[@aleasevr]

I think DJing over the internet is great. It allows so many more people to enjoy your mixes. Actually, I think the best thing for me at least was DJing in virtual reality. Theres a whole world out there of people in avatars physically dancing in the game to the music you play. Its been around for a long time now but its helped with the crowd issue (like being about to see if people enjoy your sets) Set up isn't too bad. If you are on PC you can grab a focusrite instead for your soundcard as I know not all motherboards support USB C. Protip: use streamlabs rather than obs normal there is a lot more you can do with it as well as custom themes available for free.

[@djmannyleon9204]

For those of us who use Android (Samsung, LG, Google, etc. ), you can stream audio using a USB TYPE C to USB TYPE A adapter to connect a audio interface via the USB cable. And it should work. Make sure your phone is fully charged before streaming. DO NOT use a TRRS to TRS adapter. They don't work anymore with newer phones.

[@matmos34]

Can you expand on that, have a oneplus5t and a jack adapter and still no sound when trying to stream.
