In the Lounge, you can not only play music but also perform voice live streaming.
You can enjoy the Lounge in various ways, such as talking about the songs while playing them, or stopping the music to perform acoustic sessions.
Furthermore, the Lounge adopts ultra-low latency audio streaming technology, allowing you to enjoy conversations with listeners with almost no sense of lag.
Note: However, since the music playing in the Lounge streams directly from the listeners' apps, if you sing or talk along with the music, your voice may be heard with a slight delay.
Steps for Voice Live Streaming
Points to Keep in Mind During Streaming
Use Earphones
Since the microphone may pick up the sound coming from your device, we recommend using earphones during voice live streaming.
Check the Volume of Your Voice
In the Lounge, you can check the volume of your voice during voice live streaming.
The microphone icon at the bottom right of the screen becomes a volume gauge as shown below. You can check the volume through the gauge and its color, so please stream so that the gauge inside the microphone icon turns green.
Streaming Using an Audio Interface
By connecting an audio interface via USB to your smartphone or PC, you can stream using a microphone or instruments.
How the Lounge Works When Using an Audio Interface
In the Lounge, as shown in the diagram below, the broadcaster's voice and performance audio sources (① and ②) and the music playing in the Lounge (③) are streamed separately.
Therefore, if your audio interface supports a loopback function (*1), please always set the loopback setting to OFF when using it. If you turn the loopback setting ON, listeners will hear the music doubled.
*1 Loopback Function: A feature that mixes the sound from the USB-connected device with the microphone sound, etc., and outputs it.
* If you are not using the QUEUE features in the Lounge, you do not need to set the loopback setting to OFF.
