EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO LIVESTREAM WITH YOUR SMARTPHONE



DISCLAIMER: we intentionally covered products that can be used with smartphones. For more complex streaming setups (involving videocameras, multiple audio sources, OBS and similar desktop softwares and streaming keys, check out a few guides on the Internet HERE and HERE)To get more news about 39bet-lô đề-xiên-ba càng-bao lô -xổ số bình thuận, you can visit official website.

First and foremost: you need a smartphone! We’re pretty sure that 99% of you have one. Next step would be getting the appropriate apps for streaming. Wether you prefer to stream on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube or Twitch, the default app will allow you to do so with little to no effort. If you don’t have them, just head to the App Store / Google Play Store and download them now for free.
Smartphone microphones are useful for singers, songwriters, acoustic performers and in general for musicians that want to capture the room sound (or the singer’s voice) as opposed to other devices that allow you to pick up the sound directly from the instrument (guitar, keyboard etc).

The Shure Motiv MV88+ Video Kit is a great bundle that will serve you well for different purposes. The included microphone has switchable polar patterns, built-in effects and a great sound quality to begin with. This is the ideal solution for people that want to livestream their acoustic instruments or singers that want to accompany themselves with an acoustic guitar or a piano. You will also get a Manfrotto smartphone stand and all the cables you need to connect it to your smartphone. Oh, you can also monitor yourself through the headphones output port! If you have an iPhone, you can check out alternatives such as the Zoom IQ7, the IK Multimedia iRig Mic Cast HD and the Rode i-XY Lightning.

If you prefer a condenser–style microphones or a handheld microphone, there are plenty of alternatives such as the IK Multimedia iRig Mic HD 2 (available as a bundle with a nice led light and tripod) and the Apogee MiC Plus (or the more advanced HypeMiC). Just keep in mind they will stream only your voice, and you can’t sing over a backing track with that method!

Ok, let’s say you want to use your old trusty Neumann TLM-103 or your Shure SM7B or your Aston Origin: you can’t connect a phantom-powered XLR microphone directly to your phone. In order to make it work you need either a) an external mobile-ready pre-amplifier / mixer (see next paragraph) or b) a mobile-ready audio interface such as the Focsurite iTrack Solo Lightning.

Alternatively, if you have a newer iPad (or if your iPad is compatible with the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter) you can actually plug in selected USB-equipped sound cards and use them. We do not guarantee that the streaming Apps will recognise them as microphone devices, allowing you to use their audio source to stream – check that with the manufacturer!

If you need more than one audio source and/or if you need to livestream using a XLR microphone (or a guitar, or any instruments that was not born for mobile applications), you will need an external mixer / audio interface.

Many products are available on the market such as the Roland Go:Mixer Pro, the IK Multimedia iRig HD2 and iRig Pro Duo I/O, the TC-Helicon GO Guitar Pro and GO Vocal and the Shure Motiv MVi. The majority of these products were made mainly for mobile–recording, but they also do well for live streaming.

More Streaming/podcasting only products such as the Roland Go:Livecast and the IK Multimedia iRig Stream recently hit the market, aiming at podcasters, gamers and YouTubers: these products are perfectly usable by musicians that want to stream from different sources (say you want to live stream what you hear out of your desktop audio interface… with these you can!)
