Using a mixer (Behringer X1204USB) with Radio Boss

[smcalpine]

We are about to make the transition over from RadioDJ to Radio Boss and wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions on how to incorporate a Behringer mixer instead of using the mic button. This mixer has a usb connection.

Thanks in advance

It depends on what end result you want to achieve with the mixer.

Adding in Skype and phone calls, live in studio interviews, etc

The general steps are, for USB mixer:

1. Connect microhpones, Skype output etc to a mixer.

2. Select the mixer as main playback device in RadioBOSS: http://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/playback.htm

3. Select the input where mixer is connected in RadioBOSS for one of the line inputs: http://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/microphone___line-in.htm

4. In broadcasting settings: http://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/broadcast.htm set audio source to the line input where mixer is configured on step 3.

You have to know using Mix Minus settings in mixer for skype.
Is better to use another laptop for skype to avoid feedback (looping).
Is better pre-recording skype call. You can edit or avoid misconfiguration, or low bandwidth.
