Kevin,
I missed you but I see you will be on again on this date and time, Sat, Sep 14, 2013, 8:30 AM CDT. Is this correct?
Edited: How can I tell who is on air?
Thanks,

jo: If you have a slow connection, I think the sound will keep up (I hope), but there is no chance for the video. I hope it was OK for you.
Danny C: Yea, I'll be doing another early show next week. I will try and schedule something for the other time zone folks. 6:30 am is tough on our west coasters!
Any performance critiques or improvement suggestions from those who watched?

That's great! I've seen other folks use backing tracks, so it seems like an acceptable practice. I am not set up for that yet, but I want to do that in the future. My a/d device doesn't act as a mixer! They pay the licensing fees to BMI and ASCAP, so covers are just fine also.

I think I am going to do another set tonight at 7pm EDT. OK, it's the same set, so if you saw it yesterday, feel free to ignore me (ha, ha)!

Hi Kevin. I am very keen to sign up. I hope my internet connection is going to stand up....being in Africa we don't have the best broadband. I think I will sign up and then do a test. I am not too sure how to find out exactly how fast my DSL line is. Regards

I would think (hope) that the audio will be OK, but the video might lag a bit. If you have DSL you should be just fine audio-wise. Just let everyone know that you have a slow connection and the video might be choppy.

Kevin, one the StreetJelly site I saw a DOWNLOAD button... do you need some proprietary software to broadcast your performance?
I've been at work every time you've performed so far, but I've watched others and its an interesting concept. Indeed, it's a study in stage presence... watching people fumble around and waste their whole time slot is eye-opening for anyone who ever intends to get up on stage in front of a crowd.

Pat: Is it a flash download? if not, that "download" is advertising something.
I have my two guitars tuned-up and ready to go, a capo and water within reach and my set list loaded and on-screen. I hope I don't fumble around too much (ha, ha).
I agree with you, when folks are searching for things to do, it diminishes the performance. It should be 1,2,3 .. Go!

Reading thru the FAQ and other information on the site I saw a blurb that said "LIVE MUSIC ONLY, NO RECORDINGS"
does that ban include backing tracks? I didn't see a specific statement to that effect. But nobody I've seen so far has USED backing tracks...

I've seen performers using backing tracks. You just can't record a video and play that.

Cool! And you can do covers too! That seals it for me!
I'm off work today and tomorrow... will you be performing either of those two days?

I think once I have a couple of sets ready, I'll play 2 or 3 times a week. It is fun, for sure. I also try and catch at least part of a show or two every day. Let us know when you are going on!

thanks for posting the link Kevin.. I have a feeling you've a set a very large ball in motion. It wouldn't surprise me to see a BUNCH of forum members performing there.
As you noted, the format lends itself to what we do.
Already Silvertones and Jo are gearing up. I want to see a lot of others here, but I won't start naming names for fear of leaving one out and accidentally offending a friend. But if you're reading this.. assume that I want to see YOU performing !

Kevin,
I missed your shows sorry but I did watch some of your videos and enjoyed them. I took a look a few acts on air last evening. It looks like fun.
Could somebody explain to me how you would set it up to use backing tracks?
Thanks.

The chances of us catching your act in person is pretty slim! ... I missed your shows sorry but I did watch some of your videos and enjoyed them. I took a look a few acts on air last evening.

Could somebody explain to me how you would set it up to use backing tracks? ... Since my audio device passed on the mic sound so easily, I though I could crank up sonar and play those backing tracks and play along -- NOPE! The web cam only got the live mic sound. I think you need a usb mixer like this or this. That way whatever goes into the mixer will come out as a stereo channel via your USB. At least that is how I understand it!

The site indicates that there are instructions somewhere about how to do this.. but I couldn't find them. Has anybody else found them? If so, post the link.
I created my profile today, but its all lies. There's no way I'm saying anything remotely true about myself. At this age truth doesn't market well.
I notice Silvertones has also created a profile. I looked for Jos but apparently she hasn't created hers yet

Gonna set up my profile soon......
Josie I am going to try using my ordinary old mixer. Mic the voice and mic the guitar in separate channels and then use my ipod in another channel as input for the backing tracks. Will let you know how I do with that!

That contest was over in July. yeah, which is why I just deleted that post. on another note: I hope that anybody who decides to go live will post a blurb here beforehand. In fact, let us know once you've signed up and created a profile. If another member puts you on their favorite list they'll automatically be notified if you schedule a performance. Although it looks like you can perform without being scheduled. Today a couple of dudes who weren't on the schedule went on the air. In the case of spontaneous performance, I don't know if the favorite list gets notified or not
