​These days we have in our hands all tools needed to broadcast events to the entire world. Live streaming lets you connect with your fans during your concerts, backstage Q&As, or press conferences. Thanks to apps like YouTube, Facebook Live, Twitch you can stream events and show what’s happening anywhere and everywhere in real time. If you want to share an event giving your fans the feeling of being next to you, you need both – video and audio in high quality. While the video quality on our smart phones is surprisingly good, the built-in microphones are still not good enough to stream all the details of your music.
We have several instructions for you:
  • Streaming 2-channel audio with ZYLIA microphone on Windows
  • Streaming 2-channel audio with ZYLIA microphone on Mac
  • Using ZYLIA Studio Pro for live mixing and streaming using ReaStream and OBS
  • Streaming First Order Ambisonics (FOA) with ZYLIA microphone for Mac
  • Adding video source to OBS studio
  • How to stream 3D audio in binaural format with ZYLIA ZM-1 and ZYLIA Ambisonics Converter plugin
  • How to stream Binaural format with ZYLIA ZM-1 and ZYLIA Ambisonics Converter in Windows
and final steps:
  • Receiving ReaStream signal in OBS
  • Twitch setup for audio streaming with ZYLIA ZM-1 microphone
  • Live streaming with ZYLIA to YouTube using OBS Studio
  • Live streaming with ZYLIA to Facebook
  • Streaming Ambisonics audio from ZYLIA microphone together with 360 camera for Facebook

Equipment, use best live streaming microphones

​If you want to spread your performance all over the world, it is very important to invest in good quality microphones. If you can afford the cost of a microphone, it's well worth it. The quality of audio really matters. If people can't hear what you're playing, they will simply quit your channel after seconds.
When you record with standard microphones you must remember that each instrument needs to be equipped with one microphone. Is is also recommended to have one microphone for ambient recording – allowing your fans to hear your conversations between pieces.
It looks like you will need a lot of mics, cables and equipment, and perhaps even a sound operator? Don’t worry. Instead of all this stuff for audio recording, you can simply use ZYLIA MUSIC.

ZYLIA ZM-1 is a spherical microphone array designed for multi-track audio recording. It captures all sound sources that are present in the audio scene. You can put ZYLIA in the middle of the band, record everyone and everything with one mic connected to your laptop with a USB cable and stream it to the world.

Picture
 Click OK to save the settings. You might have to restart the OBS.
 
Then, open the Reaper project called “ZM-1 FOA Streaming via JackPilot.RPP”. If you haven’t connected your ZYLIA microphone array already, do it now. Go to preferences and select ZYLIA as an Input Device and JackRouter as an Output Device. You have to tick the box marked in the image below to allow use of different input and output devices.
Picture

Picture
Then, click on the “out1” item on the “Send Ports” list. ​
Picture
With the “out1” item selected, double click on the “in1” item on the “Receive Ports” list. It should change the colour to red. This means, that output channel 1 from Reaper is routed to input 1 in OBS.
Picture

​

#stayhome #stayathome #homerecording #stream #music #concert #twitch #reastream #facebook #youtube #obs

In the situation you are playing with a band and would like additional control to mix the audio from the ZM-1, you can also apply the following workflow for streaming:

Step 1
​On the track receiving input from the ZM-1, add ZYLIA Studio PRO plugin.
Remember to disable the track master send
Picture
Step 2
In ZYLIA Studio Pro plugin, add virtual microphones. You are able to add as many necessary but the output will be 2 channels only.
Remember to position the microphones and play with the plugin settings for better results.

Step 3
Add equal amount of tracks to the number of virtual microphones created.
​
Step 4
​Route the signal from the ZM-1 multichannel track to the tracks created.
          4.1 – Click the routing button
          4.2 – Click add new receive and choose the track with the ZM-1 input.
          4.3 – Choose the virtual microphone channel to receive
          4.4 – Do this process for all the virtual microphone created.
Picture
Step 5
Mix the separated tracks do your liking, change levels, add EQ/FX, etc
Since we are using the live input for streaming, we recommend to do the mixing based on the streamed output.

Step 6
Add a new track and route the signal from the separated tracks to this track. Once again, do this by clicking the routing button, add new receive, select the target track and choose Audio 1-2 to 1-2.
Picture
Step 7
To the same track add the ReaStream VST to the FX bus (if you don’t have it installed you are able to download this free plugin at: https://www.reaper.fm/reaplugs/ ).

Step 8
In the ReaStream plugin, send the audio signal. In the identifier field you may leave it at default but it should be consistent in the OBS as well ( more information mentioned in OBS tutorial. )
In blue: here you can send more audio channels to OBS. Which can also be used for sending First Order Ambisonics (replace ZYLIA Studio PRO with ZYLIA Ambisonics Converter plugin).
Picture
Step 9
Continue the setup in OBS (Receiving ReaStream signal in OBS)

Here is a step-by-step instruction on how to stream 2-channel audio on Mac:

JACKPilot

Free software
To download the software, use the link below:
https://jackaudio.org/downloads/
 
And choose to download JACK2 binaries:
Picture
After restarting your computer when the installation is finished, open the app JackPilot.
Picture
The “Preferences” window should show up when you open the app for the first time. If not, open it by clicking on the JackPilot/Preferences in the upper right corner.

In the Preferences window choose Zylia microphone array as an Input Device. Then set the Sample Rate to 48000 and leave everything else untouched. Click save.
Then, press the “Start" button. Now go to your broadcasting software, in this example it’s Open Broadcasting Software, and in the settings choose the “JackRouter” as an Input Device.
Picture
Picture
​Click “OK” to save the settings, and go back to JackPilot. Now press the “Routing” button.
Picture
 “Connections Manager” window should appear.
Picture
In the Connections Manager window click on the two triangles highlighted in the image below. The Send Ports/System list shows the input channels from Zylia, and the Receive Ports/obs is the receiving broadcasting software, in this case OBS. If you are using a different software, it should appear on the Receive Ports list. Remember, that first you have to choose JackRouter as an Input Device in your broadcasting software for it to show up in the Receive Ports list in JackPilot.
Picture
Then, click on the “capture_5” item on the “Send Ports” list. ​
Picture
With the “capture_5” item selected, double click on the “in1” item on the “Receive Ports” list. It should change the colour to red. This means, that channel 5 from Zylia is routed to input 1 in OBS.
Picture
Now do the same with “capture_8” and “in2”, to connect channel 8 with the input 2.
Picture

​Loopback

​Paid software
In the free trial, audio degrades after 20 minutes. To download the software use the link below:
https://rogueamoeba.com/loopback/
After installation and opening Loopback on your computer, this screen should show up:
Picture
First, select the “Pass-Thru” in the “Sources” section and delete it by clicking on the button at the bottom of the window or by pressing cmd + backspace.
 
Make sure that you have plugged in your ZYLIA microphone array before next step.
Picture
Click on a little plus button in the sources section.​

A pop-up menu similar to this should appear. Then, in the “Audio Devices” section choose ZYLIA.
Picture
The inputs from the ZYLIA microphone array should appear in the “Sources” section. First, you have to delete the current connections, by clicking on the “cables” (highlighted by the red circle in the image below) and then pressing the delete button on the bottom of the screen or by pressing cmd + backspace.
Picture
Then connect the 5th and 8th channel in the “Sources” section to the “Channel 1 (L)” and “Channel 2 (R)” respectively in the “Output Channels” section. 
Picture
Now, that all the routing settings are prepared, you can change the name of the virtual device, so it will be easy to find in your broadcasting software.
