Dear Streamers,
This weekend sees the first edition of Reveil a
24 hour Dawn
Chorus project by Grant Smith. Reveil
is
largely dependent on the Locusonus streams. So if you can get
yours up and running that would be greatly appreciated.
To make this easier we have developed an app
for Android
telephones which you can download here.
http://locusonus.org/downloads/
Once you have installed the app you simply
enter your
locustream map login and pass and you can start steaming. If you
enable GPS,
your stream location will be updated automatically on the map. For
those of you
who are willing to get up before dawn on Saturday you are strongly
encouraged
to stream from a remote location (as long as you have 3G or WiFi
coverage). Please be sure that you only connect to your account
with one device at a time
More details concerning the app installation:
The Locuscast app for
android allows
you to stream a 44.100 mono oggvorbis stream to the locustream
soundmap from
your android device. It will automatically locates your stream
on the map using
GPS. An iOS version will be available soon.
After downloading
locustream app
navigate to you downloads folder and click the locuscast.apk to
install. Be
sure that 'Unknown sources' is enabled in security settings.
Once the app is installed
you simply
need to enter your locus sound map identity and password, enable
location
functions (GPS) and you can start streaming.
You will obtain better
results by
using an external microphone. We have tested the iRig microphone
pre-amp which
provides phantom power via a 9v battery and enables the
connection of any type
of mike with an XLR connector.
