How to Broadcast Live Radio with Multiple Presenters
This guide focuses on a Windows setup. If you have a Mac please follow this link:
STEP 1: Download VoiceMeeter Banana
Download VoiceMeeter Banana. Voicemeeter Banana is an Advanced Audio Mixer Application endowed with Virtual Audio Device used as Virtual I/O to mix and manage any audio sources from or to any audio devices or applications.
Once installed restart your computer. Open the application in our desktop.
STEP 2: Configure VoiceMeeter Banana
Click on the label “HARDWARE INPUT 1”. You should have a popup list like the following:
Select your microphone in the list. Here we are using the default microphone provided by the computer.
Note: It’s better to buy a microphone dedicated to your broadcasting.
Now click on the label “HARDWARE OUT” on the box “A1”. You should have a popup list like the following:
Here I selected my computer speakers as output for the audio.
Now let’s transfer all incoming data from the physical and virtual inputs to the output.
For each input you have the following panel:
Using this panel you can control the volume of the input and where you want to transfer the audio data of that input.
For example in the above picture, I clicked on “A1” and “B2”. This means that I want to transfer the data of my microphone to the “A1” which is the computer speackers in our case and also transfer the same data to the “B2” which is a virtual output created by “VoiceMeeter Banana”.
You can use the same configuration for all your inputs.
Whe you install VoiceMeeter Banana it creates two virtual inputs like in the picture below:
Let’s focus here on the “Voicemeeter AUX Input”. To make it simple, this is the virtual input on which VoiceMeeter Banana will captuer all incoming audio from your computer such as from Media Player or from YouTube on your browser if your are playing a video.
STEP 3: Inviting Guests Using Cleanfeed
Cleanfeed is a free audio streaming service for group chats. The idea is to use it as a group chat to talk with your fellow presenters or guests. Connect two or more people from Mac, Windows, Linux, or Android.
Create your free Cleanfeed account here.
Cleanfeed uses your default microphone. Change this if you want to set it to an external mic by clicking the video camera icon in your URL bar, then choose Manage Media Settings.
Invite guests by selecting “Connect” and filling out your presenter's details.
They should get an email with a Connect button, once clicked they will join the chat. You can invite more guests to chat on your radio show and manage their feeds in Cleanfeed.
