-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'll try to answer each question below to make it more clear.

Raul writes: That is correct. I did say in my original message or thought I did that you would have to use the stereo version of the linerec input plugin. Marty writes: > I am in a situation where I can't use linerec, > that is, when the dsp plugin is second in command, I can hear my voice, > and see linerec in the title bar, but it doesn't get broadcast to the > stream, because there are several broken files where the voice breaks > aught to be. Raul writes: For this to work you must use a dsp stacker. In the dsp stacker you choose the limiter first and then the shoutcast plugin or the sam encoders depending on which one you will use for your broadcasting out to the net. If you choose the shoutcast plugin do not use the advanced features.

Raul writes: For some reason the volumes get changed and I do not remember why that is. Just do not use the advanced controls and instead control your microphone's mute from the playback controls. You can access the playback controls by typing sndvol32 from the run dialog. Usually by default the mic volume/mute control is not shown so you will have to check this to be shown from the properties of this window.

Raul writes: The sam encoders would take the place of the shoutcast plugin. There would be no need to use both. With the sam encoders you do not have to broadcast out in mp3-pro only. You can choose many different formats depending on what encoder you have installed in your computer. I broadcast out to acbri using 56 kbps 22.050 hz although in the sam encoders they are listed as 22.1 khz it really is 22,050 hz, go figure. I personally prefer the sam encoders because while they are trying to connect to a stream they do not bring your computer down to a crawl like the shoutcast plugin does and also because you can broadcast out to more than one server at the same time. This allows me to broadcast out to my own personal shoutcast server at 96 kbps and that is what I use for my archives for my shows. You can listen to my archives to see how the compression is working which is processed on both music and my voice. Hope I've answered your questions clearly. Feel free to ask away if something is not clear. - -- Raul A. Gallegos - http://www.asmodean.net All outgoing E-Mail is PGP-signed so that you know it really came from me and not a virus.
