Streaming from a Console?

[davidaron]

Have you tried the auto mix function in Procaster?

Will I need any extra equipment to do this? I can't seem to figure out a way of mixing both the audio streams.

TarynCrimson,

I should give you fair warning that Dazzle capture devices do not have audio support in Procaster, so you'd likely need to bring in your audio via the 1/8" mic port.

Damn, thanks for the heads up.

So here's my thinking, if I get an adapter to take the red and white so it plugs into the mic jack that will get me sound. However I will be stumped on the mic right?

If I got myself a usb mic could I use the auto mix function to get both the mic jack and usb mic?

This should work the only question is which USB mic to get that will be recognized by Procaster. Off the top of my head I don't have a specific model to recommend, but I'll ask around.

[TarynCrimson]

Thank you for the help! I will wait to see what is recommended before I do anything.

I spoke with a member of our Procaster team in regards to this and his opinion was that your best solution would be to run your audio through an audio mixer.

Okay I will try and find a cheap audio mixer I can use.

Thanks for the help!

Do I need to plug something into my TV?
The xbox?

I wanna stream a game/walkthrough if I can.

Hey SockChan,

I've merged this with another thread - you should be able to find some answers within.

Best,

the best "console" setup for streaming:

1st advice stay away form anything with only AV inputs, ive used a daazzle capture card but the quality was horrible.

buy the Hauppage HD PVR
