Revision as of 12:13, 26 September 2007

You don't need your own land to perform. There are several clubs, stages and other locations where musicians perform on a regular basis. Contact them and try to find an empty time slot on the mic.

- One of these locations with daily schedule is 'The Vibe in Shaea [1]. It has a nice beach ambiente with a stage in a large tiki hut, and a second open air stage in front of a waterfall. Management is pretty good. Recommended. Contact Lucius Templar for details.

There are several ways to stream music into second life. One is a shoutcast server. You as the performer need to set up a broadcasting client [2]. That client connects to a shoutcast server. Either you set up your own server [3] or you find and rent an existing server. Several event locations in Second Live have their own shoutcast server, so you only need a client to send out your voice.

How it works:

Your streaming client sends the data to the server.
The Listeners' Second Life clients grab the server's URL from the parcel's media settings and tune in.
