Ustream Live Show

If you can follow these instructions it's an absolute miracle. I put together al of these steps over thecourse of several years and trying to explain it all is harder than I thought it would be.

Overview Diagram

This diagram is intended to explain how the different pieces work to create the Ustream live show.

Ustream Live Show - 1

Launch Camtwist

Download from allocint.comCreate a saved setup that gives you Desktop, PIP Desktop, and Internet Relay Chat. I have no ideahow I got IRC in there, so best to download my pre-saved configuration file to ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/Camtwist/Saved Setups. Download my pre-save configuration file entitled "threes_a_charm"from http://podfeet.com/NosillaCast/show_production_tutorial/threes_a_charm

You'll want to mess around with the Desktop settings to choose which monitor you want to have peopleview, you can select a specific region or full screen. I usually shrink up GarageBand as small as it willgo, and then set the desktop region to cover the GarageBand window.

PIP Desktop lets you move your image around on screen and change the size of your image. Playaround with it as you like.

IRC Configuration in Camtwist

I don't remember setting this part up, but if it doesn't happen automatically here's how you want it set. If you want to change the font settings, click on Display and have at it.

Install Soundflower and Configure Audio Hijack Pro for your Mic

Follow the instructions here: http://www.podfeet.com/wordpress/tutorials/recording/record-two-mics-without-a-mixer-garageband-soundflower-audio-hijack-pro/ right up to before it says to configure GarageBand.

Launch Garageband

I use a script written by Will that does a bunch of stuff, like shuts off the stupid reverb, hides thepodcast track, etc. and renames it to the day's date, but I figure you've got engough experiencelaunching GarageBand, and I think it depends on a template file in a specific folder, blah blah blah.

Ustream Live Show - 6

Use the pulldowns and set them to:Video Source: CamtwistAudio Source: Soundflower (2ch)

Note the VU meter to the left of Video Source and the volume slider. You may need to mess with thatto change how loud you are to your listeners. They'll tell you ifyou're too quiet or too loud in generalwhich is controlled here, but you'll have to mess with individual tracks one by one when they yell at youthat they're too loud or too quiet.

When you're ready, now hit Start Record - first action is to ask people if they can hear you - if yes,your'e good. Next record a snippet in GB and then play it back. If you see the VU meter move whenyou play, that's a good sign that they can hear it too (but I'd still ask them).

Now all you have to do is create the show!

Stop Record & Save

don't really care what you write in here, but here's what I write.

Export from GarageBand

From GarageBand select Share, and then Export Song to Disk, and DONT' click the compress button. This will create an uncompressed AIFF file.

Ustream Live Show - 8

Run Will's Script

I use a script created by Will to:- Levelate the AIFF file- Move it into iTunes- Convert it to an mp3, 64kbps, mono- Give it my album artwork- Set Artist and Album Artist to Allison Sheridan- Add NosillaCast Mac Podcast as the Album name- Change type to Podcast- Set to Skip When Shuffling and Remember Playback Position

Artwork is available at http://podfeet.com/NosillaCast/show_production_tutorial/Podfeet_for_appleTV_600dpi.jpg

I honestly don't know where you have to put that to make the script work! Might be easier to do all ofthe steps by hand, but here's the script info anyway.

Script is available at http://podfeet.com/NosillaCast/show_production_tutorial/podcast_convert_in_itunes.zipPut it in ~/Library/Services and then uncompress the .zip file

This should let you right click on the aiff file you exported from GB and then choose Services, andpodcast_convert_in_itunes. Go have dinner, should take about a half hour.
