Streaming audio

Hi gang, first post! I actually just got Shoutcast streaming working from Reaper (well I connected to my server, haven't had a chance to test the audio yet). You'll find a nice explanation of how to configure it in this thread- The referenced link at Landoleet for reaper_shoutcast.dll is password protected, but you can find the log in info in this thread- I've been performing live over the internet via winamp/shoutcast for about 18 months now, excited at being able to use Reaper.

Casey Thanks for the reply. I'll checkout the links over the next few days. If I get any issues, would it be ok for me to IM you? Snowy.

Shoutcast server parameter sets 

I've been using Reaper to stream live performances into Second Life for several months. Works just fine. I have some residual questions however about its implementation. After selecting an 'Output Format' of 'Shoutcast Source' in the 'Save live output to disk (bounce)' dialog, one is faced with the 'REAPER Shoutcast Source Status+Config' dialog. This is where one is to enter the parameters of the Shoutcast server one is attaching to. So far, so good. I have figured out what *most* of the fields in this dialog do. However... Does anyone know what the 'Publish server in directory' check box is for? Is there some universally accessible database of Shoutcast servers or something? With that asked, I have another question - related to my usage of this function: In my Second Life gigging, I perform for a number of 'venues'. Each venue has it's own Shoutcast stream to which I need to attach. I frequently have repeat performances at any given venue. For each venue, each time I visit, I need to manually enter all the values for each of the fields in the Shoutcast server definition. Other Shoutcast streaming apps have 'server parameter sets' which simplify this. For example, by selecting the VENUE_A parameter set, all the proper values for that venue are plugged into the various fields defining that server. VENUE_B has different values for each of these fields associated with it, etc. If REAPER has this sort of functionality, where do I find it? If not, would anyone else be able to make use of this functionality, and would they support a feature request?

for anybody who might be interested in this topic: On Windows, you can use free Windows Media Encoder to stream virtually any audio and video source (hardware/software) into the internet on a peer-to-peer basis (without running via a dedicated third-party server). Fairly easy and straight-forward to set up. I'm streaming the live feed of my studio's master output signal with this method when a client cannot come to my place so that he can listen to it from anywhere in the world while simultaneously giving me mixing directions via telephone or skype.
