I wanna do live sets on the internet

Post by Diamond CREW » Tue Jul 16, 2013 6:06 pm

So I wanna do livesets on the internet and most things work but the only microphone that registers sound is my external and that quality is just too bad.
It has nothing to do with the websites. I also tried it on a couple of friends there pc's and it also didn't work. Is there anyone who knowes how I can make the microphone of my pioneer ddj sx work?

grtz.

Explain what it is that you're doing. Do you mean DJ sets? Or playing music live like a concert?

In either case, you should get something like a mixer if you're trying to record multiple things at once. You essentially just need to route all your instruments to one place and plug that into your computer and record that input.
Just having a mic in the room will tend to sound bad, you'll have all the unpleasantness of a presumably untreated space recorded and that could mess things up, regardless of the quality of the mic.

do you have a line-in/mic jack on your computer?

if so plug this into the booth output on the SX and the other end into the jack, and you're good to go

the two big jacks go into the output labeled booth out. the single one goes into your computer, voila.

alternatively, if your speakers connect via XLR (the big outputs) you could use RCA to jack cables from the master, but usually the signal is way too strong for the onboard mic jack and you'd get nothing but distorted fuzz, unless you turn your master volume down a lot (on my mixer i have to turn it down to about 5-10% to get clean sound) so booth output is better as it's the same signal as master out but with separate volume control

the problem is that these two big jacks ( those things with 3 holes you mean right?) for the output on my sx end in two other big jacks for my speakers :/

Technically that's very possible, like miking up a cabinet. But yeah it's pretty ridiculous for this purpose.

No I was planning on streaming my sets from my ddj sx microphone.

So I connected my booth out with my mic jack on my pc but my pc still doesn't register any sound from my sx microphone :(
