Is this the best new platform for live streaming DJ's? - Mixcloud Live Guide 

How long can you stream?

We are hoping the lag will get better as they develop their servers!

Anytime at all, we are too!

YEP

It really is the best for uploading mixes without fear of take downs!

@@Crossfader facts 💯💯💯

@@Crossfader not really! Use hearthis.at and OSB for your livestream. 500mb weekly free for uploads, streaming depends if you save it or not! No stress with copyrights, no mute at livestream, your uploads are also for download. Link from your livestream to FB, Insta and Twitter.

Brawlerz so could I just record my set using rekordbox and then upload it to Mixcloud?

Yep correct you can record and upload mixes to Mixcloud. Fantastic platform for DJ’s

Haha me too. I mostly upload for friends of mine to listen to. It's just a hobby for me

@@keithlee4963 Yes you can! SoundCloud is limited unless you pay for unlimited services. Even then on SC you need to watch out for some songs that can get your account hit by producers and record lables. This includes remixes, mash ups, bootlegs, radio edits and official songs that you make [extremely rare if you are making songs on your own] San holo spoke about as he made a remix of The Next Episode by Dr Dre 7 Snoop Dogg, he had to take the song down. Even though it was professionally done, I don't think that remix was approved by the OG artists and record lable. He also states that his close supporters as they uploaded the remix on their SC accounts, they got hit and permanently wiped their account.

Well now you can pay 19usd a month for no one to listen to your livestreams. Ain't that great? XD

Glad you enjoyed the video and you're right, it will get better with time!

Exactly! 🙌🏻

Glad it helped!

That is very true!

We gave him a nice Crossfader hat and he chose to wear that... 💁🏻‍♂️

🙌🏻🙌🏻

Not kidding 🙌🏻

@Spoon Clank use (obs) and (hearthis.at) it's free, livestream with picture, free upload lot more than soundcloud, no stress with copyrights and also your music is for download. When you live put just the link to facebook and instagram, etc. Your viewers don't need a account for hearthis.at

Spoon Clank i agree Mixcloud is dead

@Spoon Clank Two things your missing one is it is free for three months so you have nothing to lose. The second one I will tell you when I speak with the people at mixcloud :)

g1beanmobile if you’re using a controller most that have audio input,output OBS can use it as an audio card.

I believe you will, sorry I didn't mention that in the video! It's the $20 plan you'll need

@@Crossfader Crazy idea, but what if you used two laptops, one using Restream for You Tube, Facebook, Twitch, etc, and the other doing Mixcloud, without Restream? Would this use up too much wi-fi power?

@@JeffNeckonoff I would not use wi-fi, use an ethernet cable... also, you will need at least a half decent internet connection upload as well

Thats our main concern at this time, however it's great to have a back up that won't be taken down unlike facebook!

Or you can use your phone to Go Live on Facebook showing an actual printed sign, with you in the background mixing, telling all your followers to go to your Mixcloud Live page. This way, all your followers get that awesome notification. They will click, see a video with your sign, and then head on over to Mixcloud. Is there a way to turn off the sound broadcasting on your phone so FB doesn't shut you down? Thoughts?

Is it only me that can see the dlaringly obvious solution? Why doesn't facebook do what mixcloud have done? Set up a subscription service within facebook so that its easy to go llive on our own facebook page but the artists still get paid! Facenook would make a killing! I know I'd pay a tenner a month to be able to go live without getting warnings every 5 minutes, and without having to go outside of facebook to do it.

Your laptop is only running OBS and your DJ software. The stream is taken from OBS to Restream (in the cloud) and restreams servers send the feed to Mixcloud (also in the cloud) which doesn't affect your computer :)

sure, but mixcloud sucks! Try hearthis.at Much better livestream(sound&video), upload free 500mb/week (pay for more) and also your uploads can be download by others.

@@muratti72muc It looks like Hearthis has the same copyright issues.... The page below says the following: You need to own/have the rights to upload a track or mix. By uploading you agree to our terms of use. hearthis.at/live/

It is possible, just a bit of a faff to set up!

Christopher Vincent lets do it 💯💯

Do you mean how to stream without decks? In this intance get the audio playing from your computer speakers and set up a "Audio Output Capture" in OBS and set up to capture the desktop audio. This should work if you don't have some decks handy :)

@@Crossfader This is not easy as it seems,suggest you to still make a 5 minute video. This would certainly help people who wants to stream without decks.

Theoretically it should be unlimited!

@@Crossfader oh okay

If you're using Rekordbox you can check out our hack to stream direct from the software! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eNgJx1l-5Dg.html

Jeffray Randell Roy you probably rip songs from RU-vid

@@BlackSheepEvents BPM supreme my child

The artists get paid this way, helps keep the service alive and not a takedown like other platforms

@@Crossfader Yeah thought about that was the case.

dumb ? would mixcloud show the video stream as well as the audio?

Mixcloud :)

The regular mixcloud is perfect for this!

Crossfader ok great thanks

Sound is not that good, but tests results can be useful

It's a great tool that every DJ should consider!

We gave him a Crossfader hat too!

Definitely. Don't do it.
