6. Internet Radio uses a technology which allows
audio to be digitized and split into small pieces
for transmission across the Internet. The
ultimate effect is to create the illusion of
"radio".
7. Streaming
The audio is "streamed" through the Internet
from a server in one location and reassembled
on the listener's end by a software player on a
computer or Internet Radio receiver.
two varieties of mixers: hardware and software. a hardware mixer will physically take the audio output from, say, your microphone, a guest microphone, your CD player (cassette, etc.), or possibly a guest on the telephone and “funnel” or “mix” it all down into one output of audio which you can then input into your computer for digital recording.Using a hardware mixer allows you to visibly set your sound levels on-the-fly and individually for each audio source. This is how many traditional radio studios and recording studios do it.
What do you need? Mic (x2) Mixing desk, computer
But, I can also do wonderful audio enhancements because I use a recording application called Adobe Audition (formerly Cool Edit Pro) which is basically a recording studio in-a-box.With this software I can fix audio, amplify it, equalize it, add reverb, mix it, change the pitch, add a host of effects, filter out noise and much more. Adobe Audition is also a software mixer and I can create multi-tracked projects - one track at a time - and then mix it all down exactly as I want it.Besides the hardware/mixer route, there are other software-based solutions for recording and mixing sound including WebPod Studio and iPodcast Producer.
