We recently went through a server upgrade and with this upgrade we have an increased capacity and as to not let this big fat server that costs me $65/mo to maintain go to waste I have been thinking of cool and fun things we can do here at UtaForum and one of the ideas I came up with is a community radio station!

I have begun testing now with a test stream and a dumb AutoDJ that shuffles through my personal favorite UTAU music these kinds of automated streams are quite boring, don't have any interaction, and it is hardly a community effort if its just my favorite music playing all the time.

I wanted to gauge if anyone had any interest in any of the following:

Hosting a Show
More than one user, talking and playing music, either live but usually pre-recorded. Think of this as a podcast but broadcasted live. If you have an UTAU related podcast you can syndicate it through us!

Live DJing
Broadcast music, take requests, interact with the community. As a DJ you can decide the theme and flow of your set but some sort of interactive segment is highly recommended.

Listening In
Even if you don't want to host a stream maybe you would be interested in tuning in? Discover new music, expand your horizons, share your opinions with whats playing with other live on our chat.
Anyways vote on the poll, reply to this thread with your interest. Tell me what you think about the audio quality of my test stream (set to 128kbs mp3 ATM). All feedback welcome!

While it is "UtaForum Radio" I would encourage all potential DJs to get creative with their live time. I wouldn't be adverse to an "Anime Song Hour" or "Late Night Vocaloid Jam" or similar such themes. AutoDJ will remain pure UTAU, but I will leave each show up to the individual host.

Oooo I'm interested in DJing! (The college I went to started a radio station the semester after I withdrew and I got so annoyed because I wanted to do a VocaUTAU show lmao)

The audio quality sounds pretty good to me :sing:

Woohoo, another VocaUTAU radio! I'll definitely be listening; not sure if I can contribute otherwise as I'm rather tied up with my Plug.DJ room; we'll see how it goes...

I'd love to do a live show or something along those lines which will allow me to show off a bunch of new and unheard of utauloids, such as ones by those who are just starting out in the community or haven't had anybody else use their utau yet. It could be a great tool for getting some publicity for your utauloid!

I could be a Host!
But 1 question. can my voice be pitched up?

Here is a tutorial on how to EQ & "Post" process live audio. It was meant for Twitch streamers but if modified it can work for our purposes. If you don't have Adobe Audition you will need to find a replacement, but the general concepts revolving shuffling audio between programs using virtual audio cables should still apply.
