Livestreams

Live perfromances streamed over the Internet usuallu using the open source Open Broadcasting System (OBS).

We reccommend a small cheap laptop to be used as a sintgle use machine for OBS with visual effects, to be used as a safety net affainst buffer underruns latency etc. If visual effects on a second obs machine should lag for whatever reason the audio remains intact.

We mainly use Luma key as opposed to green screen to create of main visuakl effects.

We use OBS layers to add scrolling text for the News tickertapes.

The discipline is in creating a LIVE ienvironment, a minium set of virtual instruments are used to ensure Cpu is kept smooth with no dropouts latency .

A controller per virtual ibstrument is recommended.

We use mostly outboard gear: drumchines and synths, the ableton Push, Ovox for vocal effects (with everyone wearing headphones- since we mostly can't sing) and wavey lines an Eurorack based glitch machine.
