Step 1 - accessing the Nullsoft Winamp Preferences dialogue

Now... We move on to the 2nd step...

Step 2 - Choosing your output plug-in

- Click the 'Direct Sound Output" as shown in figure below

Step 3 - Selecting the Nullsoft Shoutcast Source DSP

- Under the plug-ins category, click on the "DSP/Effect"

- A new window "SHOUTcast Source" should open.

- Preferences can be closed.

Step 4 - Shoutcast Source, Output configuration

- You need to know your server address (IP Address exactly), port number and password
- Password usually xyh ltak pun xpe... n if u want to put it, go on.
- Shoutcast source setting can be set at the "output" tab
- You can setup manually by unclick the connect at startup box.

Step 5 - Yellowpage configuration

- At this tab, you can put watever description you want regarding your streaming radio... Such as what i did before, i type in "Radio USM - Seleksi Puasa Anda"
- The URL is your url that your listeners gonna play on.
- At this yellopage, it is optional but better put it so u have a unique words scrolling along the player stating what station are currently playing and the url, that is your ip address.

Step 6 - Configuring the encoder

- Default is "Encoder 1"
- You can choose your encoder setting through the Encoder tab.
- Choose wat type of speed you want to use, the play rate n either mono or stereo.

Step 7 - Using Winamp as the input source

- This is where your default setting when all of the above is set-up and finished. And this is where the place that you will change between using mic to talk and playing the songs without interferring by the sound of the mic.

- For you to talk to the listeners, just change the input devices into "soundcard input"
- "Push to talk" to talk to the listeners. If you don't want to waste your hand energy by constantly clicking on the push button, just click on "Lock" and you can talk without constantly pushing the "push to talk".

And that's all for today lesson... If you have anything to ask, or need help in configuring this shoutcast, just ask me either through formspring or by commenting on this post...

Have a nice day being a DJ... :D
