First of all a few tips: you need a computer, laptop or desktop. The computer should be connected with a CAT5 cable to the router or modem. A connection with a cable is more stable and can handle more data – so the up- and download speed is faster, which improves the audio quality. You…
Just before the summer holiday we extended our ‘streaming’ gear with one ATEM Mini Pro. This small, but very powerful device made by BlackMagic makes streaming to Teams or Youtube so much easier. It is capable of switching 4 x HDMI input’s to one program output. Making recordings of the venue can easily be realized…
After a very busy time with on-line technical support and setting up live streams from the concert-halls, we are going to enjoy our well deserved holiday break. Like for everybody, the last four months were bizarre and unheard of. It was sad to experience the musical limitations but it was also inspiring to see the…
This week we started with the setup of the video/audio-streaming set in the KvBz. With the remote controlled camera’s, the mixer, the computers and the ATEM we can host a streaming event directly to Facebook, Youtube or other platform. In the near future we all will benefit from this setup. We can support on-line events…
Last week our colleagues created ‘one-way routes’ in the building so we can use our building and corridors the most efficient way in this new ‘Corona-era’. Today we also added a plastic screen to our EWP ‘sound-bar’, so we can start our regular lending services if needed. It looks strange, but when it is effective,…
A few rooms within the building will be furnished with recording equipment, so that students can make a recording without assistance. We will provide a manual and we are available for questions via our website or Microsoft Teams. Today we installed equipment in Studio1 ready to be used. Some important remarks: you have to bring…
On day #46 of the Corona building lock-down, our director Henk vd Meulen and his crisis-team came up with the next step in slowly opening our KC building again for individual practise. For exact details we refer to the content of his e-mail and the protocols that were attached. What does this new phase #2…
In the last weeks we received more and more e-mails with request how to improve the audio quality with on-line lessons. To be able to support the requests we had to invest and expand the amount of USB-audio interfaces and we had to ‘hunt’ for available keyboards in our building. Because the “whole world” is…
In our search for better audio quality recent weeks, we found the application Jamulus as one of the possible solutions to work on-line and combine it with music making. This application connects multiple musicians with each-other by means of a server. All you see in your screen is a volume knob (fader) to adjust the…
Our colleagues in Oslo created a very informative page with a nice explanation how to use the network (internet) for music making. Please take the time to check this one out.
