Basic guide to DJing

If you are totally new to DJing, here's what you need to know:

• For Mac, I recommend Nicecast. I think its the best one out there and streams meta information.

• For Mac and PC, the butt streaming software is good. However, I do not think meta information can be broadcast:
  • Download butt here: http://butt.sourceforge.net

• Step 1: Select Stereo mix as Audio device.
  • If Stereo mix isn't available, try Virtual Audio Cable
  • If you're on Mac OS X, you probably want to use Soundflower to reroute your audio

• Step 2: Configure the server as per the server settings above

• Step 3: Press Play to start streaming.
