Streaming your radio station or other audio content live to the Internet can bring hundreds, thousands, or hundreds of thousands of listeners to your programming. This short tutorial will give you the confidence to move ahead, understanding the basic process. We’ll begin with audio processing, which is more important than you might imagine. Next we’ll dive into audio encoding technologies including multi-rate streaming. We’ll look into metadata insertion, too. Then we’ll discuss the most common methods to gain appropriate streaming distribution to your audience. Finally, we’ll see which of these functions can effectively be done in an Internet cloud environment.
Attendees will gain a good working understanding of the streaming audio process from playout to end listener.
