Underwater stream
by David de la Haye 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Hi all, Joined in REVEIL for a number of years now, and finally managed to set up an underwater stream - from my newly created garden pond! Not sure why i'm getting persistent audio drop-outs. Any ideas? Details here: http://streams.soundtent.org/2022/streams/utc1_durham-ea54c0ec-0b0a-4d92-bf… David [image: 20220429_121922.jpg] -- ------------------------------ David JC de la Haye (MMus, MIScT, AfCGI) *Field Recordist, Bassist, Ecological Artist, **Sound Engineer* *TWITTER <https://twitter.com/DJCdelahaye> | BANDCAMP <https://daviddelahaye.bandcamp.com/> | WEBSITE <http://www.daviddelahaye.co.uk/>* ------------------------------

REVEIL 9 - 30th April to 1st May 2022 - Call for streams
by Grant Smith 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Hello all I'm sitting here with Covid listening to the amazing stream from Yotoco Valle by Kristian Paul and feeling better already. We re putting together the programme for Reveil 9, the day-long broadcast we do each year, following sunrise as it circles the earth on Dawn Chorus Day. This year Reveil will run from 5AM UTC+1 on Saturday 30 April to 6AM on Sunday 1st May. We put out this call: https://mailchi.mp/a065d6bf1a53/reveil9 <https://mailchi.mp/a065d6bf1a53/reveil9> As always, the open microphones at Locus Sonus provide the essential framework for the broadcast. We are grateful for your new, long-standing and refreshed streams. For your stream to feature in the broadcast, it would be great if you could make a page for it from here: http://streams.soundtent.org/manage/streams If you have technical queries about streaming, we're happy to add our advice to that of others on this list. Many thanks and looking forward Best wishes Grant soundtent.org acousticommons.net

ZERO+ version
by ward＠planktone.be 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Hi All, I did some more experiments with my ZERO setup. I made a construction with a baffle in carboard with of some hot glue. I also pimped the WM9860 board and removed some items that were not of any use ( pins, connectors ) to make it less high. It’s now in a fur outside on one of my windows. The stereo image is a lot better, a bigger baffle is something to think about … but it does not fit in the fur ☹ I am quite impressed by the quality of the little MEMS microphones. The stream is very stable. You can hear it at http://planktone.ddns.net:3000/plankradio Grtz, w.

New stream now live
by Taylor Nuttall 28 Apr '22

28 Apr '22

I recently relocated to Dumfries and Galloway and have now set up a new live stream for Reveil 9 from our small holding overlooking Loch Patrick. http://streams.soundtent.org/2022/streams/utc1_dumfries Initially the stream was a little quiet so I have increased the gain on the audio interface. I’m now suddenly experiencing a lot of dropouts from the signal. Is the server just now getting a lot more traffic in the run up to the weekend and everyone is experiencing this problem! Or is the higher gain peaking and interfering with the signal and it’s my problem? Looking forward to hearing everything over the weekend. Many thanks Taylor

streaming with RASP ZERO & WM8960 board
by ward＠planktone.be 27 Apr '22

27 Apr '22

... I made me a second set as backup for next REVEIL You can hear it at http://planktone.ddns.net:3000/plankradio It uses a RASPBERRY ZERO PI and a WK8960 audio board. This board has 2 MEMS microphones These are used for the stream I had only to add an extra 1000µF condenser on the 5V ( pin 1&3 ) to get rid of some annoying soft crackling sound. The RASP runs an ICECAST server & BUTT to stream, but it can probably use the Locus Sonus image too ? It is now outside on a window in a fur to protect it from wind as test. I like to add a baffle between the mic’s to get a wider stereo image as the microphones are only 6 cm from each other. I add a design I have in mind. It could be a 3D printing project … but I don’t have the tools and experience for that. But … it’s a fast and easy way to stream something good in my opinion. Curious about your thoughts … Grtz, W.

"time-lapse" stream recordings
by Zach Poff 30 Mar '22

30 Mar '22

Hello fellow streamers. I've been experimenting recently with a "time-lapse" logic for listening to durational field recordings, trying to condense long-term imperceptible changes into something we can more readily understand. I've been doing 24hr recordings and playing them through a Max patch to compress them to 1hr (using thousands of cross-faded fragments). The gradual exchanges between soundmakers (people / animals / weather ...) seems to be heightened by the montage. But I'm also noticing how the "constant" hum of the city evolves too: not so constant as it shifts in dominant pitch and color. I love the unrelenting "liveness" of open microphones so I'm interested in how these two nearly-opposite listening practices might combine. I need 22 of these "1 hour = 1 day" segments. I have been leaving recorders "undercover" near my home in New York, USA, but I'm also reaching out to recordists and streamers to see if people are interested in contributing a 24hr field recording or permission to record their live-stream for a day. If so, I'd love to talk off-list. Thanks! -Zach Poff

Re: [locustream mailing list] config for iqAudio Pi-CodecZero
by aid 06 Jan '22

06 Jan '22

Grant suggested I try some changes, and this is what I've done: In /boot/streambox.txt - changed to soundcard=0 - Added login, wifi details In /boot/config.txt - added dtoverlay=iqaudio-codec In /etc/dhcpcd.conf - added static domain_name_servers=8.8.4.4 8.8.8.8 Also verified that the streambox server comes up on a different rpi, so the config is correct, it's just not working with the rpi zero w? is there a system change that breaks wifi for my rpi zero w maybe?
