 For Nicecasting purposes I find it's better to control your mic gain at the system level. On Mac OS X, you can click the mic icon at the right of the input volume slider to move the input (USB mic, in my case) sensitivity all the way up, and click the similar lefthand icon to move it all the way down. For Nicecasting purposes I find it's better to control your mic gain at the system level.

-Keep this "System Preferences > Sound" window open. If you don't have a headset then you can probably use audio jack earphones and your computer's built-in microphone. Or, just a USB mic plus audio jack earphones. Etc. The idea is to prevent the computer's input from taking in the computer's output (feedback).+Keep this "System Preferences Sound" window open.

-Make sure your VoiceOver plugin is started. Make sure your mic input is turned up at the system level in your "System Preferences > Sound" window. You should hear the iTines mp3 and an echo-back of your own voice through your headset. Make sure the LeveL indicator in the Nicecast Broadcast window is active, depending on what audio is being fed to it.+Make sure your VoiceOver plugin is started.

-Now let's try Skype. While letting iTunes play on, go to Skype, call your "Skype call testing service" contact, and do what it says (leave a message). Probably you will hear iTunes automatically turn itself down while Skype is going -- I think this is a function of Skype, and it's possible this can be changed in preferences. Yep -- under Preferences > General, if you like, de-check "pause iTunes during calls".+Now let's try Skype.

 You can try playing with other apps like video games, a movie player, etc etc, and locally outputting the sound. Nicecast should capture it all and send it out, along with your voice-over! You can try playing with other apps like video games, a movie player, etc etc, and locally outputting the sound.

 You should have an archive of your broadcast in the form of an mp3 file waiting for you on your desktop or wherever you chose to save it. When you're ready to broadcast during your time slot on SDF ANONRADIO, then in the Nicecast server window, select "ANONRADIO" rather than "Built-In Server". If you want, you can turn archiving off before you broadcast remotely (especially as your show will be archived at anonradio.net/archive). You should have an archive of your broadcast in the form of an mp3 file waiting for you on your desktop or wherever you chose to save it.
