I tried a little experiment this morning with DJing live to my Twitch channel<\/a>, and I don’t think it went terribly badly…so I’m thinking I may do this on a semi-regular basis.<\/p>\n

Background: Like many, many<\/em> people…I used to be a DJ<\/a>. ;) Lately I’ve been missing it, so this is a way for me to start practicing again. I have no visions of getting back into clubs or anything along those lines (though it’s always a fun fantasy), but this should at least help scratch the itch a little bit.<\/p>\n

I’m using djay Pro 2<\/a> and a Pioneer DDJ-400 mixer<\/a>, and figured out how to use OBS<\/a> (with some assistance from Loopback<\/a> to route the audio stream from djay to OBS so I wasn’t just broadcasting whatever my computer’s internal mic could pick up) to stream to Twitch. I’m also recording the video and audio output locally, and will upload those to my YouTube<\/a> and MixCloud<\/a> accounts within a few days after broadcasting.<\/p>\n

Here’s the video for my first attempt (the audio kicks in at about 45 seconds).<\/p>\n
