My old post on Mandir live broadcast procedure needs an update. A lot of steps have been removed.
- Power on procedure is:
(a) UPS input on
(b) UPS on
(c) Tascam US-1641 power on
(d) Compressor on
(e) MacMini power on
Power down procedure follows in the reverse order. - In case they don't start automatically, start Reaper and BuTT.
- The setup can be tested by playing the output of reaper. Reaper channels 1-8 are mapped to sliders 1-8 on the Korg NanoKontrol. Channels 9-14 are mapped to knobs 1-6. Channel 5 is also mapped to slider 9, since slider 5 has some issues.
Channel 12 (knob 4) has instrumental music and
Channel 13 (knob 5) has the pre-live announcement pre-loaded.
Channel 3 (slider 3) has the full mix output of PA mixer coming in.
Pressing play on the Korg NanoKontrol allows you to test whether the BUTT gets signal when knob 5 is opened, as seen by the lit up LED-style indicators on BUTT. - Start playback of pre-live Announcement in Reaper approximately 3 minutes before desired start of live broadcast.
- Fade out knob 5 and allow knob 6 to maintain around -12 dB at the output when the program starts. Playback can be stopped with the stop button on the NanoKontrol.
- Recording of programs is mapped to Channel 15 which is record enabled. The spacebar is the shortcut key.This recording is not necessary for daily bhajan and vedam - BuTT records those automatically.
- If recording is in progress, if a filler instrumental is to be added, BI.mp3 can be dragged from desktop to Channel 12 (knob 4) which has record enable DISABLED - the dull red ar button.
Unless the track has record enable Disabled, playback will not occur from the track. -
The same procedure as above can be used to drag and drop the ANN_END_LIVE end announcement file for playout at the end of special program broadcasts.
- The ambient hall mic is connected to the XLR input Channel 8 on the Tascam, and this is opened for bhajan chorus etc.
- The live broadcast is stopped by hitting the stop button on BuTT, and answering 'Yes' when asked if the recording can be stopped.
