I’ve been asked how I patched #ds106radio<\/a> 1-888 phonecalls \/LIVE into my Going Back to New York City<\/a> show last week.\u00a0 Here’s the scoop.<\/p>\n

I used NiceCast<\/a> with 2 Application Mixers: 1 for a media player, 1 for a VoIP application – in my case Telephone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I hijacked both applications with the mixers and faded both to the hijacked Application as per below.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I then set my Telephone application to use a the Line-In input so this application wouldn’t pick up my voice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Capturing audio from the desktop VoIP application only captures the received call – not my outgoing voice in the phone conversation.\u00a0 To capture my received calls with my voice I need to use another VoIP application to call the PBX – that way both my audio and callers’ audio got patched into the live feed with no delays in our conversation.\u00a0 I have had good luck with Linphone<\/a> on both my laptop and my mobile.<\/p>\n

During the Going Back to New York show I used my mobile with Linphone installed to call the PBX – I muted the mic and activated the speakerphone so I could hear when people called in while I was playing music.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I was playing music I used the media player Application Mixer to move between music and my Source (my mic) – as per usual – all the while keeping the Application Mixer with Telephone bypassed.\u00a0 When I heard someone call in on my mobile I:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. unmuted my mic on Linphone on my mobile to say hello<\/li>\n
  2. deselected the bypass switch on the Telephone Application Mixer on NiceCast<\/li>\n
  3. faded out my music on the media player & stopped the music – keeping the media player Application Mixer to ‘Application’<\/li>\n
  4. welcomed the caller to #d106radio<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As #ds106radio has a 1-888 call-in number<\/a> you can swap out using a VoIP application and simply use a telephone – just like radio stations of old.\u00a0 A telephone with a speakerphone would likely work best – hands free.<\/p>\n

    When you are ready to play some music – just press play on your media player – fade in your audio – and bypass the Telephone application on the Application Mixer.<\/p>\n

    Although lots of #ds106radio<\/a> folk use Skype to great affect, I like that the PBX can keep an open line to the station with or without a \/LIVE DJ.<\/p>\n

    Call me at the station – the lines are open …<\/p>\n[audio:http:\/\/networkeffects.ca\/wp-content\/audio\/JoniMitchell_Live_CarnegieHall_1972_youturnmeon_imaradio.mp3]\n
