Remote presenter

Post by claudius06 »

Hello Bernd,
Is it possible to produce a show with a remote presenter who only has a microphone, to whom I need to send everything happening on air except his microphone?
Thank you,
Claude.

ProppFrexx supports Remote Voice Tracking.

The remote presenter needs a ProppFrexx license and a sound device plus a Mic of course.
See our Tutorial Videos for a detailed explanation on how Remote Voice Tracking works.

Thank you for these clarifications. But if it's a one-shot interview, I can't ask to purchase a license every time! What do we do in this case?

Not sure, what you are looking for?

If you have a one-shot interview (whatever this is?), you can send the interview as a recording to your remote or master studio to integrate that into a playlist.

Or you are looking for a remote mobile recording solution to stream directly from your mobile phone to your studio in real-time - but such solution is not part of ProppFrexx, but can easily be added.

OK, thank you Bernd.
I also have a DJ who works with Mixxx on Mac. I don't know how he can send his signal to ProppFrexx. I thought about a non-public streaming with only one listener that I retrieve on a browser and send to a special input on ProppFrexx, but there will be a lot of delay. What do you think?

I don’t know Mixx.
Yes, streaming servers introduce some latency (of various seconds, depending on the server settings).
Another way is using a AoIP solution, ie. a Virtual SounduDevice with which you directly connect the two instances. Something like VAC, Dante, VB-Audio or alike.

hi claudius06
To realize your idea I would use the Studio-Link software, just google it, the delay is 20-50ms.
Here you can simply invite your guest and then stream the mix.

Thanks for the tip! I checked out Studio Link, but I'm not sure I fully understood everything because the automatic translation from German to French or English isn't very perfect. That being said, I'm not sure if Studio Link allows me to send all the tracks I use on PF except the remote host track.
But I have a question: with virtual cables, is it possible to connect all the tracks from PF except the remote host one and send them all via Studio Link, Skype, or another app?

Any virtual device/cable acts as a regular sound device, except it sends the audio of that mixer output channel to a remote (distant) location.
It doesn't connect or recognize 'tracks'.

I am no sure, what you want to achieve and what exact use case you like to realize?
Before you just talked about sending an audio signal from a remote location to another location - now it seems, you want something different?

Actually, I want to product a show whith a remote host speaking from his home between the tracks, and me I play the tracks, jingles, etc. So, I need him to hear the tracks, the jingles, all the sounds, but I don't want him to hear the feedback of his own voice to avoid any discomfort caused by the delay.
