So, you want to know how to setup Sam
do you? Well, I've created this short tutorial to try and help you.
1st). Install SAM2. Why you ask? In order for
SAM3 to work you need a MySql database installed on your system.
SAM3 does not have one but SAM2 does. So, install version 2 and then
install version 3 over it. Simple. Once installed, you then need to use the
keygen to create a serial key that you will place in the Configuration under
registration.
2nd.) Open SAM. It should have a basic layout.
Using the Windows tab at the top, try to get the layout to look similar to
this (click
to view)
3rd.) Once you have decided on the layout you prefer, go
to the "Encoders" window. click on the + symbol (add new encoder)
Choose MP3 and MP3Pro click okay. Another window opens and in format
choose MP3: 64kb/s, 44.1 kHz,Stereo. Click on Server Details at top of
window. In server type choose Shoutcast. In Server details put in the
information Nite gave you
In Station Details, put in
-
Station Name: F.U.Radio - DJ yourname (put your name in
for yourname)
-
Genre: choose Various
-
Website URL:
http://www.furadio.net
-
AIM: your AIM
-
ICQ: your ICQ (if you have it)
-
IRC Channel: N/A
-
click the following (if not checked) list on public and
enable title streaming
click Okay.
Broadcasting
To be able to broadcast with SAM3
is simple. First off, it automatically seeks out ALL your music during
the installation process. all you need to then is go to the Que window
and add songs in the order you wish them played.. or create a playlist using
winamp and save it, then add it in the que window in SAM.
Go to the encoder window and
highlight the encoder you installed and then click on the > to start it.
To stop it is simple.. highlight it and then click on the stop symbol
(square) Sample of encoder
here
(click to view)
When encoder is running, click on
the > button at the top of the complete window (the layout one) and it
will automatically play.. to stop is ...well you get the picture. One of the
other things you need to do is ensure you have it on Auto DJ.. this way it will
crossfade right into the next song.. nice ehh?
Now we get to speaking part ...where you
talk. In the Voice FX box, click on config first. Change music
fadeout to 90%. This will automatically drop the volume of the music to
allow you to talk over it. Say okay and click on Mic on. You are
now all set. To speak, simply click on Lock Talk and speak. If the volume
of Mic is too low, use the volume control to raise it.
Now, after you have it all setup, go to File at top of
page and click on Save Configuration .. it is all set and will be ready to
go each and everytime you open it.
In closing, I am working on various PAL scripts that will
allow for automatic play of things like promos and special season music and will
make all these scripts available to DJs when they are tested and done. I'll
create a tutorial for it when I am done creating them and testing them. For now,
play with it, read on it, learn it.. the more you know about SAM3 the better you
will be and the more professional sounding. Oh yea, IF you discover something
new and that you feel might benefit others here, pass on the information
....Please
