 I just, we're starting. Cool, cool. Yeah, there will be a delay going on. Hello everyone and welcome to the live stream. It's great to see a number of people here in the chat and also great to have some people backstage as well. So I'm doing something a little bit different today and let's see how it goes. It can only end in disaster surely. What I'm going to be doing is talking you through how to set up the Rocaster Pro 2 to have a basically a back channel going on with a Discord or maybe a Zoom call or something like that. It's a very similar process for each and the audio routing that you're going to need to do so that that is kept completely separate from what's going out, but then you can still kind of hear that. And why am I doing this? You may ask, well, I've just set up the channel memberships on my YouTube channel. So you'll see the little join button now below all of my videos. And one of the perks of the, one of the levels, which is the backstage pass level is that I've got a Discord community and people will be able to join the live streams in the Discord on the backstage and then they will be there sort of before the stream starts and then afterwards as well. Now that means there's maybe a little bit of extra chance to hang out with me, continue the conversations and things like that. But more importantly, and the way I see that this is going to be of greater value is the interviews, the interview shows that I'm going to be starting to do where I'm going to get people on asking questions from the backstage. And then also after the interview is finished, there's usually some extra burning questions that we didn't get around to in the interview. So those can be answered as well in there. So that is the idea here. I'll just quickly show you, if I can, that what I've got over here is, here we've got some people over in the Discord. Say hello. Hello. You can't hear them at the moment because they are muted, although I can actually still hear them. So if somebody was to say something in the Discord, I would be still technically hearing it in my ears. But if it gets too rowdy in there, I will be able to turn them down as well. So let's then go ahead and start looking at the different routing that I'm going to be using on the RODECaster for this, because really what unlocks this potential is the fact that on the RODECaster Pro 2, we now do have two separate USB cables coming out of the back. I have done a video all about the sort of basic audio setup of the RODECaster for Ecam Live. And also one for the setup of using the RODECaster Pro 2 with Ecam Live and Zoom as well. That latter setup is very similar to what I'm going to be doing here today, but there's just a couple of different additions that I want to talk about. So what makes this all possible though, as I was saying, is you've got these two USB sockets at the back, but actually there's three separate audio channels. You've got on the first cable coming out, you've got RODECaster Pro 2 Chat and also RODECaster Pro 2 Main. So they basically just show up in your system audio preferences as to inputs and outputs. And again, with Ecam Live, you can select whichever one of those you want. Then on the second cable, you also have a third channel, which is RODECaster Pro 2 Secondary. Now the difference between these is that on the RODECaster Pro 2 Chat, you have what's called Mix Minus. I'll explain that in a moment. And on the Main, you don't have that. So they're sort of permanently either on or off, depending on which of those channels you're using. So RODECaster has allowed us to also select which one we want, or RODECaster should say, has select which one of those we want on the RODECaster Pro 2 Secondary. So it can either be Mix Minus or not. And Mix Minus is basically where, as we're using the RODECaster as both an input device and output device. So for example, for Ecam Live, I'm taking the audio from my microphone and anything else, you know, the audio pads or sound pads, things like that into Ecam. But also, Ecam is coming back into the device and feeding back into my monitors and into the Mix as well. So Mix Minus is basically going to, for that particular input and output, it's going to remove the audio that's coming in from the output back to that application. So basically, Ecam Live isn't going to be hearing itself back. But also in Discord, this is going to mean that although I'm going to have the people in the chat, in the Discord, are going to be coming into the RODECaster, they're also not going to be hearing themselves back. So that's what Mix Minus does, is it basically just minuses. It removes the input from the feed that's going back there. So you can actually toggle this on and off with the RODECaster Pro 2 Secondary, as I said. And so that's what we're going to be doing with the Discord. So I'll show you how this is going to be all set up in a moment. I will just first of all say hello to the lovely people in the chat. I should also say a special warm welcome to Peter. Hello, welcome Peter. And I've got to say that because he is the first person to officially join my YouTube members. So welcome Peter. And he's now got access to the sort of backstage area in the Discord, and then also to these sort of backstage of the live streams as well. So thank you very much for joining there. Sammy on the street, the new superstar. Great to see you, Sammy. I've been loving your videos. Dr. Elo, great to see you as always as well. I've been really sort of motivated and inspired to be honest by seeing all of Dr. Elo's consistent posts going out across all of the platforms. I've been trying to model my future trajectory on what he's doing across all the panels. So great work there. Great to see you as well, Marcus. And have I missed anyone? Oh, and Orbs as well. Great to see you here too. Wayne, great to see you as well. All the lovely people are in today. And Miss Eileen too, great to see you as well. So let's have a look. I'm sure I'm missing someone. There we go, another one. Hey, great to see you. Practical Eyes. What's your name, by the way? I don't think I've seen you in the live stream before. Always nice to know somebody's name. And Eileen is talking about, yeah, Rode had a great live stream or a video put out just yesterday where they were talking about some new functionality that was gonna be coming in a later firmware update. So I will, I'll talk about that a little bit later as well, I've got a little pop up before that at some point. So without further ado, let's actually get on into the actual setups of these. One second, I get this off. I'm wondering if I'll assign my pedals right. I have, there we go. So the way that I've got this setup basically is at the moment I've got my microphone is coming in here. You can see the levels are bouncing up and down there on the fader so I can fade this in and fade this out. I've then got my e-cam live. As you can see just down below, this is the audio settings that I've got an e-cam live. I've got the speakers, sorry, the input set to Roadcaster Pro 2 chat. And if we have a look at what I've got in my audio settings, I've also got the speakers set to Roadcaster Pro 2 chat as well. What that means is all of the audio that's coming out from e-cam live is coming into the roadcaster and all of the mix from everything else that's happening is going back into e-cam live. Because you have got that sort of two-way communication going on as in audio coming out from e-cam, so for example my intro music, all that sort of stuff and any sound effects that I've got going on in e-cam, they're coming into the roadcaster. So we need that mix minus on so that it doesn't then feed back into e-cam. So that's why we're using that second chat channel. That's the one with the mix minus on. One other thing that I've done in here is I've also enabled this option here, which is map input channels one and two to left and right stereo. This one might be a little bit more complicated to understand, but it is basically because the multi-track mix that's coming out of the roadcaster causes some artifacts that means that when you slide down the slider, if you don't have that one switched on, it's just gonna assume it's mono and you get this weird thing whereby the audio doesn't actually completely fade out when you move the slider down. This was something that came directly from road and it was their suggestion that we actually turn that one on. So that's just where that has come from as in straight from the horse's mouth. The other thing that I've done is I've also got this broadcast system audio in e-cam live to be never. And the reason I've done that is because on the second, oh, sorry, on the roadcaster pro to main channel. So that's the one without mix minus. That's what I've got my system audio in my Mac set to. And that means that anything that's coming through system audio is coming into that channel. And whereas before in e-cam live, we could select whether we wanted to share the system audio all the time or when sharing the screen or things like that. By selecting never, I've actually got more control over it. So I might want to share the system audio into e-cam live. And so in that sense, I would just literally move the fade up for system audio. But I would have some control of the volume over it. So maybe I don't want it just coming in the regular volume, I can control it there. You can do that in e-cam itself. Obviously you do have the sound effects panel down below and the system audio panel when you are sharing system audio, but it's just easier to control it on here in my opinion. So what I've also then done is I've got the folks in Discord and in my Discord server, if I come over to that for one moment, here we are in Discord. And what you can see is over here, we've got this channel that is, you're just not seeing my mouse. ProMasters doesn't seem to be open, but never mind. Over here on the left hand side, right at the top of this bar, what you can see here is a voice channel. And in case you weren't aware, voice channels in Discord can also do video. So it is basically a video chat going on, a video call going on. And you can see we've got five people in the call over there. But what I want to show you is if I click on the little cog wheel just right down at the bottom, just down here, click on that user settings. And then I'm going to come into the video, sorry, voice and video over on the left hand side, click on this one. And what I've done here is for my input device, I've selected RODECaster Pro 2 secondary and the output I've selected RODECaster Pro 2 secondary as well. And what that's doing is that's meaning that I can then map that to a separate fader. So effectively what I've got is this is my microphone, this is the audio coming out of ECAM into the mix. So for example, you know, sound effects, intro music, stuff like that. This one here is for the system audio, but then I've got this fader here is for the audio coming from Discord. Now the thing that you'll notice is that all of these faders are up. So technically, if somebody in Discord were to be talking now, you would think that you would be able to hear them. However, I have cunningly muted them so that it doesn't come out into the mix. And in fact, if you look here, you can see that this little red icon indicates that it is muted and also it is muted down here. So this little button sort of mutes them on and off. So if I were to unmute like that, then anything that was being said in the Discord would come through onto the live stream. The thing is, if I mute them here, then ordinarily I wouldn't be able to hear them myself. So that is, whoops, a daisy, wrong one, there we go. If I mute somebody or if I mute a channel here, it doesn't come through into my headphones. But what you can do is you can use this extra button here to solo that track. And so if I was to solo that channel rather, then now I'd be able to hear everything in the Discord, but actually I wouldn't be able to hear everything else. So the thing that you do is you just actually solo all of the tracks. And then now I can still hear everything that's going on from all of these different tracks. But crucially, the one that has got the mute symbol on is not coming out into the mix. So that's kind of the way that this is all working. I might still want to actually turn down the rowdy rabble in the Discord. So I could do that by just moving this fader down. One thing you do need to make sure that you've got set for this particular channel for the Discord is if I come into my settings, or in fact just tap this button to get into the settings for that channel, just make sure that the mix minus is on there. So this is the one where we've got the option to turn it on or off. And so you do just want to make sure that one is on. But also, if you want to be able to turn them down even when they are muted, then what we need to do is also just double check in the settings and then where it says outputs. And then you've got this option here for the listen. So clicking in there, you've got two options, either after fader or pre-fader. Now, if you have that set to pre-fader, then basically this does nothing for what you're hearing in your ear when you are in the listen mode. But if you want to be able to turn them down in your headphones, then you will just need to make sure that auto fader listen is switched on. So that means that even when they're muted and I'm hearing them in the listen mode, I can actually slide it down just like that. Now there is one extra thing that I can do with this, which is you can activate a back channel mode. So this can be done with the smart pads, but it can also be simply done by having the two channels that you want to sort of talk between, muted and in listen mode. So you can see how this one is in listen and mute. I've got my own channel, my microphone channel in listen and mute. And now if I press the mute button here, you'll notice that these all turn yellow. And that's going to mean that I'm now communicating only with the Discord. And what I just said should only have been heard in the Discord. So that is how you would be able to still have a back channel. And especially if you were doing interviews, for example, maybe you've got some questions that were coming up in the Discord that you could hear or some feedback or something you wanted to give whilst you were having an on-screen interview. Then if the interviewee was up on the screen, for example, you might want to just go like that to go into the Discord only. And then you'd be able to say, all right, next up, we've got 10 minutes and then we're going to be wrapping it up or whatever it is. You can actually have that back channel chat with the people in the Discord. So that is basically the sort of audio routing. So let's have a little look at actually how this is working. If I bring up a, first of all, welcome, Mr. Moderator himself, Paul Duncan. Hopefully you can hear me. I can hear you, can you hear me? I can hear you. And so there doesn't appear to be any audio interference yet, as rightly there shouldn't be. But what we'll do is, if I just... There we go, get that looking a little bit straight. And then what I can also do is if I just show you in the Discord for a second, which is this one, you can see that I've got the Discord open. Let me get that out of the way. Just one second. I'm in tough pool up there, nevermind. I'll tell you what, I'll do this another way. Hang on. So there is the fine folks in the Discord. And if I wanted to bring up one person in particular, up onto the screen, all I would do is literally just spotlight somebody. So I'm clicking in the wrong place. So if I was to spotlight Keely, for example, she's come up here. But then what I've also done is I've created another channel or another view in Ecamm, where I've now basically just screenshotted the, done a screen grab rather, screen share of the back channel. So now we've got Keely in the interview mode. She's muted at the moment. But hopefully if I press unmute, so Keely should now be able to hear us and we should be able to hear her. Is the point. Hi. Is it working? We'll have to see. Is this thing on? I can see. So that's basically done the audio routine of we've got this two-way thing going on where you've got somebody in interview mode. Paul is in interview mode in Discord, in Ecamm, but then Keely is in Discord and there's this two-way conversation going up. But then, you know, if I want to, so if you were doing this from an interview point of view, this is where I'm thinking that the value of this is going to be is hosting interviews and then bringing people up from the Discord to ask questions. And so if I wanted to spotlight someone else, I could just come out of here and spotlight someone else, obviously before you were switching and then there's Rich to ask his question. Am I supposed to talk now? Can I talk now? You can talk now. Yeah. So now you can see if I slide the fader down, that I can adjust Rich's volume if he gets too loud and out of control. Hello, hello, hello. Or I can just mute him entirely. Or I could also... Four score and seven years ago. Or what I could do is I could also have a little back channel chat. So that should hopefully have been all nice and clear. So that is basically the premise of all of this and that is the way to get this all set up. So let me just come back to the Discord for a moment. And what we can do in here is if I just on spotlight Rich. Now, obviously you can see that in the Discord over here, they are seeing the feed from the live stream. So this little window over here in the top left is basically my feed. Now, if I had a little bit more forethought, what I could have done and should have done is come over here and just actually duplicate this thing. I need to unlock my scene. And then I'll just put Paul over here. Let's give Paul the top spot, obviously, like this. So this is guest one. So that is how you could do this coming into Discord. So although you're seeing everyone's windows nice and small over here in the Discord, they could also just sort of spotlight this window with pointing on my screen, this window down here. So they could spotlight this to see the show. Obviously you'll get in this infinite loop thing in this little demo, but from their perspective, if they were to spotlight me whilst I'm not sharing their screen, that would not be an issue. Hope that makes sense. So just for those people, I've now unmuted the Discord. So just for those people in the Discord, how's this all coming across and seeming and sounding for everyone there? Anybody fancy popping in with some comments or feedback? You sound like a genius Alec. This is amazing. Yeah, everything sounds fantastic. I just need to take some notes and watch this thing about 300 times. So I'm watching both YouTube and the Discord and I have to mute the YouTube because it's like 20 seconds behind. So when Kelly was saying hi to folks, she was saying hi again 20 seconds later. Yeah, I mean, to be honest, this is one of the things that I like about this is because I always find when I'm doing live streams, there's always moments where there's a comment come up and I'm seeing it after the fact and then it's kind of, I've lost the context of it or it doesn't make sense. Whereas if somebody's asked a question and you know that they're in the Discord, then you can get that immediate response like, oh, is that what you were talking about? And yes or no. And then I think it's going to lead to sort of better conversations really on live streams and answering questions and things like that. And especially for Q&As where you have got like another person as well, interviewees coming on, then I think it's going to work well for that. And how about you, Peter? Oh, everything is fine. I just wanted to ask that if I'm correct that only you are the one who is hearing what we are talking normally. Right, normally, yeah. So we can ruin your show without letting your viewers know about that. Totally, but equally, I can always just turn you down on the mix as well. Hugs and jokes and picking out. Yeah, yeah. So that is going to be one thing, you know, obviously we'll see how it goes, but it's been able to have that two-way conversation. I can always obviously deafen in Discord as well. So with Discord, you've got both mute and deafen. And mute means that you wouldn't be able to hear me. I wouldn't want to do that, but deafen means I wouldn't be able to hear you back either. I wouldn't do that on these live streams though, because the whole point is that you can hear what's going on on the live stream. But what I can do is just on the faders on the roadcaster, I could literally just turn the volume of the Discord down. And if there's something going on in the back, I could always turn that down maybe while I'm doing the main content or something like that. The volume in the back channel, if you like, could be down for me, but then I could fade it up when I want to just see if there's any questions or stuff like that, even without it being on the stream. So that's kind of the point about it. So let me just check in with the chat quickly. And we've got Richard, great to see you here as well. All the wonderful people have come out today. Dean, can you go over what Solo is doing in your demo just now? Yeah, so Solo is soloing it for the host. So where you've got the buttons on the bottom, just let me pop back over to this one a second. In fact, I should have this one. Here we go. So just pop somebody in the spotlight over here. So on the roadcaster at the bottom, you've got these Solo things. It's basically soloing it into the headphone one socket, so it's soloing it for you as the host. The idea of this is that, as the person running the show, whether you are doing in-person, where you've got multiple different microphones running in, there will be one person who is actually controlling it. So the Solo button is just intended to be able to kind of just get here what is going on on a particular track. Maybe you're queuing up some music, maybe you're seeing if there is a call already or whatever it happens to be, however you're using it. And so those Solo buttons are for you to just only hear the tracks or the channels, I should say, that are Solo. So if I turn the Solo off on all of them, then basically I'm hearing exactly what is going out in the mix. So if I mute the Discord now, I can now not hear the Discord even if the slider is up there, because I'm hearing exactly what is going out, just as you are hearing it on the live stream. However, if I press the Solo button, then I will hear that particular channel. However, if you only press the one, I'm literally only hearing that. So if I was to press that, I don't hear my in-ear monitors anymore, or at least I don't hear monitoring of my microphone, I should say, in my in-ear monitors. I also don't hear any music, sound effects or anything like that that might be going on as well. I also wouldn't hear any system audio. So by Soloing only that track, I would only be hearing the Discord. But if you just Solo the other tracks as well, then that basically means you hear all of the ones that you have soloed. So if I've just selected them all, then I'm hearing absolutely everything again. And in fact, you can see the ones that are soloed up here because the ones that are muted, in fact, if I just switch these all off like this, the ones that are muted, you'll see here turn red. Then the ones that are soloed will be green. So now I've just turned all of those on. That one is muted and soloed. So you only see the fact that it's muted, but I can see down here that it is also soloed. And then if I activate that back channel chat by pressing the Mute and Solo on this channel as well, you'll notice that these two then turn yellow. And basically that then means that I would only be talking into the Discord. So you might well have, as I say, you might well have a interviewee on and they are sort of full screen talking about something. And whilst you are not on the camera, for example, in Ecamm, you might wanna just turn that on to talk to the people sort of behind the scenes, as it were. So that is how that works. Let me come back over here and just see. So that's the answer to that. Hopefully that answers the question, Dean. So what I'll also mention is that there is a new update coming out for the Roadcaster Pro on the like a firmware update. And that is this here that is gonna add the ability to basically have full control over what's been routed to all channels. So you will actually be able to decide that, you know, you perhaps want only the microphone and something else, you know, an input, for example, going out over the USB main, you might have a different set of outputs going to the USB to secondary, things like that, the Roadcaster Pro 2 secondary. So all of those three different input outputs in a later update that's coming out in the next few weeks, they said, then you will be able to just select exactly which of these inputs and outputs you want to be going out to that. And also whether you want it a main mix, mix minus or custom. So that's basically gonna be, you know, opening up a lot more versatility for these three channels. You won't be just stuck with them either being mixed minus on or off or things like that. So really looking forward to that. It's great to see that they are adding in, you know, all this extra functionality as we go forward. Let me just have a little look what else is coming. So that's the thing that Eileen mentioned earlier on, by the way, where she was talking about that update. Hello, Beards and Banjos, great to see you. Hey Gretchen, great to see you too. So, yeah, Rich, Paul joined the Discord beforehand just so that we could get stuff up, but essentially anything that you're hearing from Paul at the moment, you're hearing through interview mode. So you're hearing his audio in interview mode from ECAM, but it's just being rooted into Discord. You'll notice in the Discord, his little icon is deafened. So that means he's not either hearing Discord or piping audio into Discord himself. He's, and his camera's going into Discord, but you're seeing his camera on, you know, above my head, that's coming through interview mode. So this is the thing about this. It creates this sort of two-way communication. And let's have a little look. So will this demo still work adding a second MacBook Pro to the mic? So using two separate Macs. It would work in terms of the audio, yeah, and you could also have the Discord, or this, by the way, would work just the same with Zoom. So if you were doing it like a Zoom back channel, it would be exactly the same process. You could then have the Zoom or the Discord running on a separate Mac. You would then use that USB secondary, the RODECaster Pro 2 secondary cable would go into the second Mac, and it would be exactly the same. It would just be that the audio was coming from that device. You could have your Discord running on a separate computer so that you're keeping the load down on your main sort of streaming computer. And then what you would do for that, what I would probably do with that is do sort of screen sharing on the Mac to be able to go in and grab the video. So I could, this Discord could just be running on my second computer, grabbing the audio from that, grabbing the screen share from that, or even transmitting it over NDI to just sort of feed it in. So you could basically do this with a single computer or with multiple computers. Let's have a little look at the comments. If anyone in the Discord has got any further comments or questions, that's kind of the point. So feel free to, or any thoughts or feedback or anything like that, any other use cases that you might think for this. Then feel free to chime in. I'll just jump in and answer Bearden Banjo's question here. We're not in the eChem Discord. We are in Alex. Take one tech Discord. And I'd be happy to shoot you an invite. Don't you worry. I'm gonna hop into eChem and I'm gonna personally send you an invite to Alex server. So hold tight. And yes, everybody should talk at once. Yeah, so that is part of the reason for me setting this up is this is one of the sort of channel perks if you like as for being a channel member. So I've just opened up channel memberships on my YouTube channel. They're actually the same as I'd previously got on Buy Me a Coffee. So those are still going. You can still join on Buy Me a Coffee as well. But on the YouTube, you can just click the join button down below. So there are three levels for that. Sorry, Rich, did you want to ask anything? Cool. Nope, I was looking at the delay. I was looking at the delay between me raising my hand and then seeing it on your screen. All right, cool, cool. So yeah, the three membership levels are the, there's a tip jar, then there's also front row and then there's the backstage pass. And with the backstage pass, that's basically going to open up this private channel in the Discord where you'll be able to come and join these live streams sort of backstage and then have the sort of pre-show and then also the after show as well. And like I say, I see it has been all the more valuable as I start doing other live streams with, you know, interviewees and people like that coming on that you'll be able to ask further questions of and just get that extra little bit of contact with people. And I'll be starting to do three shows on Amazon Live. So one of those is going to be basically just like a tech gear review show to satisfy my tech gear addiction. But then there'll also be one that will be more like a sort of live tutorial style show that will be, there'll be kind of longer form tutorials really. So in the same way that on YouTube I've got my, you know, stream deck beginner's guide that's spread out over several videos. Well, one of the things that I'm going to do on the Amazon Live is basically just do a, you know, a full long tutorial about one particular thing that you'll be able to either watch live you'll be able to pop in and out watch it in the Discord back channel as well. And then obviously asking any questions as I'm going through and doing the tutorials live. I don't want to be putting that kind of stuff out on YouTube as a really long live stream but I think it would work well for Amazon Live and also for the, obviously the Discord backstage channel. Then I'll also be doing an interview show on Amazon Live as well which is all about people's live streaming gear and tech gear and stuff like that. So with Amazon Live you do have comments coming up there as well. So you can answer comments that way but once again, just having people be able to ask questions from the Discord I think will be a great way to go about that as well. And then also starting to do some stuff on LinkedIn and those will be more kind of related to more of the sort of productivity and business side of things. And again, having interview shows there as well. So that's kind of the reason for setting up all of this and setting up the channel memberships as well so that people can basically kind of get involved and get a little bit more involved. Also as part of the memberships there'll be kind of like members only live streams and things like that as well. But it's all listed down in the little perks section of the, when you click on the join button down below it tells you about all of those different levels. So unbelievably this seems to have gone off without a technical hitch. Yeah, just Alec, I don't know if I'm going all the way through but Eileen did have another question following up on the solo modes. So... Right, sorry, yes. Thank you. There you go. Yeah, so the, there you go. This is a benefit of it. It stops me missing things. It's already paying for itself. The solo button is literally only for the host to hear what's going on. So it does not affect what you're hearing. So as I press the solo buttons it does not change what's going out. It's only changing what I'm hearing in my ears as the, you know, the person with the controls as it were. So the thing that controls what goes out into the mix is that mute button. So that's why what I had set up originally was if I come back to this shot for a moment, originally I had the, I'll turn all of the solos off. At the moment you would hear everything as it is in the mix. So this being my microphone, this being ECAM, this being system audio and this being the Discord. These two are for Bluetooth and the audio pads. Don't need to really worry about those for the time being, but those are kind of the four channels that you're hearing. So if I want to mute the Discord here just to recap, this pressing the mute button here means that no matter what this fader level is set to, you're not going to hear it in the live stream because it is muted here. But actually also in that sense, I wouldn't hear it either because it's muted for me too. The only way I can hear it is by soloing that one and then also that then for me in my ears, now all I'm hearing is that channel, I'm not hearing these other ones. And so what I need to do is actually solo all of the ones that I want to hear, which in this case actually would be just all of them. So that's the way that works, Eileen. It's basically, yeah, soloing is soloing for the channel one on the microphone, the single microphone, sorry, on the headphones, the microphone, the headphones for the, basically the host, that's what that is about. So let me see if I've missed anything else. And yeah, I should have my little thing for Discord, but yeah, you can join my Discord as well. So the backstage thing is a member's only thing. However, the Discord, my Discord community is obviously free for anybody to join and talking about all the sort of stuff that we talk about on here. So I do recommend you join obviously my Discord community, but also the DocRox community and the Ecamm community. The Ecamm community is gonna be amazing. It already is, but the Facebook group, one of the issues with the Facebook group is obviously searchability and people talking about lots of different things, maybe some stuff you're not interested in, maybe somebody's talking about their schools or things like that that they're streaming to or somebody else is talking about another topic. And Facebook's just basically a stream of consciousness if you like and you're basically dipping in and out and it's very hard to find stuff. The great thing about the Ecamm Discord server is that you can basically just choose those things that you want to actually have a look at. So you don't need to have everything exposed to you if you're not a public speaker or you're not a, you know, whatever it happens to be. You don't need to see all of those conversations if you don't want, but equally you can see them all if you want and they are nicely organized thanks to obviously Keely from Discord for creators for getting that all set up and working nicely. And then the people like Mr. Paul Duncan, the master moderator, keeping everyone in check. So yeah, that is what the Discord is and that is where my backstage is going to be. So, and there we go. We've got somebody just popped in as well. You'll have to remind me of your name because I've got bearded banjos. I've just seen him pop in, but I'm not sure of your name. Let me come back over to Discord and I'll show you where all of this is living then. So this is my Discord server. You may think that this looks a little bit similar to Docs and Ecams and that's because Keely is basically the architect of those and I've just copied Keely and taken all of the tips from her. So in here we've got some basic introduction stuff. There's this section here which is basically all of my videos and stuff like that, places to find that kind of stuff. And then down below, these are all of the different channels related to Stream Deck, Studio Gear, Loop Deck, Productivity, all of the sort of stuff that I cover on my channel but just sort of neatly organized into different categories. So if you're not interested in the Stream Deck or Roadcast of Pro stuff, you just can just completely hide those from your view. Maybe you're only interested in the sort of productivity stuff that I do on my channel. You can find that down there. And then we've got the video channel. So there is a general video channel but then we've also got this one here which is basically where everyone is in the back channel and we can move this or I will be moving this down into this members area. So people who sign up for channel memberships, they will appear down here in this area just down here. So this is where the back channel is gonna be as well. And then there's also an section in there for affiliates. So I should say I do have an affiliate program so go to takeonetech.io slash affiliates and that's if you want to recommend my courses to people then I give a 30% commission on any sales that come from that. So I've got an affiliates area that I'm gonna be building out with resources and things like that to help out all the lovely people who recommend my stuff. If you do sign up to courses that I'm doing, there's only two of them live at the moment but I do have others in the works and so you'll get access to the specific areas for those courses. So if you have already signed up to my courses because there are quite a few people who are already doing either my e-cam course or my Zoom masterclass, then if you're not already in those areas just ping me and let me know and I'll make sure to give you the relevant permissions that you need to go in there because we haven't quite got the automation of that sorted out so far. I thought I could do it with Zapier but there's a little glitch where it won't quite do it but I'm working on that. So if you are doing one of my courses and don't yet have access to those areas just let me know and I'll add you in there. So if I come back over here, there we go and we've got the wonderful Michelle Poptin as well. My little fan's just out of reach. My branding fan is just out of reach there but there we go. That is basically what I wanted to cover today and I'm not gonna go too long because there is actually a session going on in e-cam. So if you are not already in the e-cam server go to ecam.com slash discord, is it, Keely? I think that's what it is. I'll actually drop in the link in the chat. Let me have a look if I'm missing any. Link is going up on the live stream right now. Oh, Brian Haywood, I should have known. Sorry, Brian, he's just popped his thing in. Popped his name in. Let's have a little look. I forgot almost to catch it with my comments. Oh, I'll put that one up there. I'll just frame that. Let me take a screenshot. I'll take a screenshot and send that one to my mom. Hey, Michael, great to see you. So are the Discord guests flipped? I think so when you go in with your camera into Discord, I'm seeing myself flipped but I'm guessing that everyone else can see me the right way around in Discord. Is that right? Yeah, it's just one of those things. I think that they think that you're gonna feel more natural if it works more like a mirror for you. So it flips your own thing when it goes in but the people on the other end don't see it flipped. So yeah, I don't think you can turn that off either but I might be wrong about that. So let's go down. Oh, right, I see. I see Keely was already ahead of me. That's what this is what happens with live chat. You go through and you answer a question and realize somebody else has already done the job as well. Separate headphone mix is coming in the Rocasta Pro as well. Yeah, so that was the thing that I popped up about. I was talking about it in terms of outputs but yeah, you're totally right there. It's also for the headphones as well. So you can choose what people are hearing in their headphones. So yeah, totally right there. So the same thing that I've been doing here where I can hear the Discord but it's not going out into the mix. If there were other people kind of live so multiple headphones plugged into the same device I could also route the Discord back channel through there as well. So it's really actually exciting to see all of the updates that are coming with the updates that they can make with the Rocasta Pro too. Let's have a little look what else I might have missed. So yeah, it's brilliant. And the other thing that this just completely gets rid of, Richard, is the need for Loopback because Loopback was the kind of... Although they added the virtual mic in Ecamm which meant you could take all of the audio from Ecamm into Discord and into Zoom. When you were doing stuff where you do interviews so I still do stuff on Zoom where I'm doing like a panel discussion or something like that going into a workshop and so you're bringing people in in interview mode and then you're doing that into a Zoom workshop or something like that and so you're bringing guests on that way. The audio from Ecamm can go into Zoom because of the virtual mic but you always have this thing of when you want to take the audio back out of Zoom to feed it back onto the person on interview mode just like Paul Duncan is just up above me right now. The Paul Duncan, I should say, to give him his full title. You would have to use Loopback basically to do that routing but this is basically now doing exactly what we previously would have done with Loopback. So yeah, it's great. It's just, I'm really pleased with it. I also do webinars as well where you have people on and so just doing all of the audio routing with the hardware device. What I'm also looking to do is actually use MIDI because there's another great thing you can do with the Rocaster Pro 2 which is you can use any of the controls that you've got on the Rocaster Pro to control MIDI devices and what that means is you can, for example, you can change scenes in Ecamm Live by pressing a button. So if you wanted to have your Ecamm Live scenes on the smart pads on the Rocaster Pro 2, you can do that. You can already do that now. The missing link that I'm just working on a little bit of coding for at the moment is to be able to assign the faders to interview mode, to the interview mode levels. So to all of the audio faders in the sound levels panel in Ecamm because at the moment, what's happening is everything that comes out of Ecamm is coming into the Rocaster Pro 2 on that chat channel. So I can change the mix coming out of Ecamm but it's still only one fader for everything. So that includes the music, the things like that. Obviously in Ecamm, we have got those software faders that we can move around. The little ones that look like this somewhere on the screen, where are they? Oh no, they're not showing up now. But the little faders that you can slide on Ecamm to adjust levels. But what I want to be able to do is assign those specific faders to one of the faders on the Rocaster Pro and then you would have that fine control over people are coming in on interview mode. So if their audio is going up and down, you'd be able to control that as well. So I'm just working on that, bear with me. But that's sort of the last little piece for me, being able to have a separate interview mode audio control as well. Let me have a little look. Oh, thank you Paul. A little look. The only disadvantage is that you now have all the Discord alert sounds in the stream. So now I've got them coming through in the stream right now because I've not muted it so that you can hear them. But actually, if normally I wouldn't necessarily have like the whole Discord going on like this, sort of as part of, you know, as a screen share. So now I've just left the Discord unmuted. But normally during the live stream, I would be doing that thing where I've basically just muted Discord. So then you wouldn't get any of those notification sounds. The only time that you would get any noise coming through from Discord would be like if I was bringing it up so on to do it for a question or something like that. So that's the thing. You're hearing the notification sounds there because I was just sharing the entire thing with you just like that. So with that said, has anybody got any other comments, feedback or anything like that before I wrap up so that we can head over to the ECAM server? Or if I missed anything in the chat. I don't think I did. Well, thank you for coming in, trying this all out in the Discord. And once again, welcome to my new member today. You can find out about the memberships by clicking the join button. But with that said then, I'm going to wrap up here so that we can head over to the ECAM server for the orientation that is going off over there. Oh, I missed the question, Eileen. Hang on a minute. Let me have a little look. What question did I miss? I beg your pardon, so sorry about that, Eileen. I want to mute any background noise coming from my iPhone when I do Twitter Spaces, but I still need to hear sound coming in from the phone. You want to mute any background noise coming from iPhone. But you still need to hear the sound coming from it. I'm not quite sure what you mean there. What audio specifically is it that you want to mute and which audio is it that you want to hear? So you can obviously link the phone over Bluetooth. So you would be able to have control over that audio. Let me have a little look. Oh, thank you, Marcus, for the super chat, by the way. Thank you very much. So pleased it was helpful. Let me have a little look. I'm just trying to figure out what exactly you are meaning there, Eileen. You want to mute the background noise coming from it. Do you mean you want to reduce background audio? I'm getting a little bit confused. One of the things with the Bluetooth is I think that in this next update, you would be able to... Are you talking about wanting to add mixed minus to it? Is that what you're talking about? I'm still a little bit confused on this one. You'd be using Bluetooth. Where's the question again? You see, this is the thing. I have these moments where I stare at a question. It's probably perfectly logical, but I get this thing in my brain where I look at it and just go... You want to mute any background noise coming from the iPhone when you do Twitter Spaces, but you still need to hear sound coming from the phone. I don't know if you mean reducing background noise. Yeah. I know that Eileen you're using the Rocaster Pro 2 and so you're connecting it over Bluetooth. I'm just not quite sure of the extra little step there, whether it is... Just to fill everyone in, I am now hearing something back from the Discord, but it's not going out into the live stream, so I'm getting some help here trying to understand it. I'll have to get back to you on that, Eileen. I'm not entirely sure I've understood it. You'll ask me later. Great. Thank you very much. I appreciate the feedback. I'll drop a message into the Discord and I will have to talk about it. Thanks, Dr. Elo, for coming along. Great to see you here. Thanks to everyone else for coming. Thank you very much for the super chat markers. I really appreciate it. With that said, I'm going to wrap up. For those that are watching on the replay, I'm obviously going to put some... In fact, what I'll do is I'll leave a link to my Roadcaster 2 playlist that will appear over on the right-hand side and some of my other Roadcaster Pro 2 videos as well. With that said, thank you all for hanging out and I will see you all again soon.
