Re: Which live streaming method is best?

This is true Jim, except I use Ustream now, Rainer still uses justin.tv. I use (and I think Rainer also) the FME (Flash Media Encoder) which may be used with either service. It was a little tricky to set up but I get plenty of headroom with it. It is stereo and you can choose quality desired for audio and video. I use a 128kbs mp3 for audio. The FME has a nice VU meter that shows your levels being input and I adjust with my mixers output accordingly
 
For that app be aware that there is about a 2 second delay between inputing a note and hearing it on the broadcast. I never listen to the broadcast while playing. Rainer and I have experimented some with this and it works but kind of "Cage" like as he says! :) For droney stuff it's pretty ok, even could be interesting.
 
Best,
 
Jeff

Mark my experience with ustream has been good though ive kept my feeds mono. Rainer and jeff have done stereo on ustream but i think their experience witth it has been better on justin.tv. The main thing you have to watch in my experience is to not ovedrive the audio to the server.  Ustream has seemed sensitive in the past to the   point that ive kept my master out at 11oclock.  Sunday my loops got pretty saturated and i thought i was probably going to clip some but on pb things held up.

Which live streaming method is best?

I have a weird performance next week, where I will provide drones and soundsscape for a Bendir Player and Trumpeter That are located in Melbourne Austrailia to my Oslo Norway.

I did suggest NinJam to them, but.. well they didnt wanna, and right now 5 dont have a PC running the server so I am always in danger of a Shredder screwing up our sensitive Improv(When I use apublic Server.

I I suggested UStream, however, Im wondering if the sound quality (is is stereo? for example) is any good? My guys down under will be Live on stage with me projected via webcam...
What other (free) systems might I try.. IT doesnt have to be that I can hear them... I will just provide drones that They will play to... Weird for me, but I will get to hear the recording afterwards...
