Getting Started As A Second Life Performer

A Note On Adding To This Page

Getting Started With Live Music

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

Setting Up A Stream For Second Life

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 [1]. That client connects to a shoutcast server. Either you set up your own server [2] 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.

-** One of these locations with daily schedule is '''The Vibe'' in Shaea [http://slurl.com/secondlife/Shaea/221/197/25]. 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.
