How to broadcast LIVE to your online radio using Oddcast V3 and ZaraRadio

8166 views 60 13 de February de 2019

This guide is indicated for those in doubt about how to broadcast LIVE.

Each and every broadcast through your computer to our server is considered to be a LIVE broadcast, even though there is no speaker with microphone.

What do I need to broadcast LIVE?

To do a LIVE broadcast you will need an audio automation software, in charge for executing your audio files, and a software to execute the broadcast of your audio data to our servers.

There are several options available, such as SimpleCast, OptiCodec, SamCast, Sam Broadcaster, Playlist Digital, etc.

In this guide we will use Oddcast V3 and ZaraRadio, two options completely free of charge, which allow broadcast in MP3 or AAC Plus.

We will use these two softwares together, thereby allowing complete control of your LIVE broadcast!

If you already have another broadcast software and want to use it, click here to check our list of step-by-step guides and learn to configure it.

How to configure Oddcast V3 and ZaraRadio

Firstly, you need to install both softwares on your computer.

Step 2 – How to install Oddcast V3:

Returning to the file ODDCast_V3_installer, run “2_oddcastlibs_setup.exe“.

Click on “Ok “, “Next >”, “Install” and then “Finish“:


Done! Now we have Oddcast V3 and ZaraRadio installed.

Step 3 – Configuring Oddcast V3:

Run Oddcast V3 and the screen below will be shown:OddCast V3

In “Live Recording“, the first option marked in red, select the audio source to be broadcasted.

If you are using a soundboard, select the audio input to which the equipment is connected.
E.g.: Microphone, Aux. Input.

If the audio to be broadcasted is being generated in the computer itself, select the option “StereoMix“.

Some computers do not have support to “StereoMix“.

In this case, we recommend you to use a virtual sound card.

A good choise is VoiceMeeter, which is an excellent software free of charge!

Click here to learn how to configure VoiceMeeter.

Now click on “Add Encoder” to configure the broadcast data of your online radio in Oddcast V3, as shown in the figure below:

In option “Encoder Type” select “AAC Plus” to AAC broadcasts, or “MP3 Lame” to MP3 broadcasts.

ATTENTION: If the options MP3 Lame and AAC Plus are not available, return to the installation step of Oddcast V3 to install file ODDCast_Libs.exe.

To configure your online radio station, use the data available in you Admin panel.

Click on “Online Radio“, and then “Broadcaster passwords“.

Now you can see a list with all the broadcasters.

Click on “Broadcast info“, beside the password of the broadcaster to be used.

Done! You can obtain all the data you need.

You just need to configure Oddcast as the picture shows:

Once you did this, click on “Ok” to save the settings.

Done!

Now you can start your LIVE broadcast!

Start playing your audio files on ZaraRadio and go back to Oddcast V3.

If the option “Peak Meter” is in “Off“, just click once on the black bar to activate it.
