  • Using a step ladder for my phone, here’s a quick mock up of what it would all look like. You can see the speakers under the TV where the sound will come from.

    Does Twitch record what you’re doing for offset viewing?

    As I’d be using the phone, wouldn’t be able to engage at all with anyone listening, if that matters. Maybe I’ll just get some cheap equipment anyway. Will look into it.

  • Does Twitch record what you’re doing for offset viewing?

    You mean post-stream VOD?

    Certainly some channels post them, but not all. So my guess is that it may be a function of whatever you use to capture your strim, rather than TTV itself (so much like you would use YT).

    Whilst your set-up sounds like a good way to just give it a go, I imagine the quality will be quite "modest".

    And personally, what makes TTV so much more appealing than YT, is the engagement with the DJ. Which doesn't mean necessarily replying to everything in chat, but eg some background on the track, an amusing anecdote about the time the cat shit in your record bag etc etc.

    Just watching someone spin is pretty dull.

    So if you do take it up more fully, I would prioritise that.

  • Nice tips.

    Yes, I think this box should let me stream and record - so I could then up it to YT after.

    I was thinking about format and making it more interesting. I had an idea to use some of the looping functionally on low volume to offer a chance to do a bit of commentary/background/trivia around tracks, but then still have the track duration to be able to get down to blending and mixing. Will have a think about it more.

  • the cat shit in your record bag

    It's the reason I'll never DJ at a jazz club ever again.

    aka heckling and continuously requesting gabber when he's playing deep house.
