Karaoke Competition IX

[GipFace]

So, how many entries are we looking at in total? Just want to reserve the appropriate time off, of course.

[Shinndou]

I couldn't make in time, I got myself a cheap microphone today but I hadn't any spare time to record anything at all, plus I'm still coughing a bit as I have not 100% recovered from flu.

Oh well, amen.
I hope the next contest won't be one year later, and to be a little less unfortunate with health+equipment issues.

Still looking forward to hear everyone else's entries.

Man, every time Kcl hosts a comp it feels like a small reunion. All the people I haven't heard from lately get back together to share the excitement of singing anime songs. I can't wait for the stream and chat.

[kcl822]

If I get the ones that are owed to me we have about... 30 songs give or take. Got some really interesting entries too, that's for sure. Can't wait (no wait, I already heard them, mwhahahaha!).

You mean people might actually USE the #animesuki channel on irc? o.O

[Langknow]

Lol...thats what I thought all anime fans are , super irc users to leech off anime...hahahaha..can't wait, reserving 3 hours for the event, then I gotta go to an anime bbq/christmas dinner...

[kcl822]

The non-competing entries will be aired at... 8:00am EST. Damn, that means I have to wake up early... Gah, I hate waking up early!

[Chibi Nasu]

I'm so excited!

[cheyannew]

GAH! My dad wants to nab motorcycle parts at like 1030 am!
I guess I will have to call him and say I had a rough night and uh.. need to sleep in.. yeah!!
What time will the broadcast likely be over?

[Cz]

Yo! Finally got my entries and non-entries in. Thanks to kcl for the extension. Winter colds are sure fun.

I won't be able to make it for the ending half (probably) of the broadcast. Let's just say I'm learning how to exercise. And maybe the non-competing broadcast too. 5 am is a bit too early for me these days. We'll see.

Instructions for connecting to IRC
To participate in the chat during the live broadcast, you will need to log on to the #animesuki channel on IRC. We use synIRC. Fortunately, the good folks there already provide a useful page on how you can connect to IRC.

http://www.synirc.net/chat/

For Windows, the most popular IRC program is mIRC. However, if you've never used IRC before and/or prefer not to touch unfamiliar programs, the page also lists a browser-based method of connecting to IRC: synIRC CGI:IRC.

If you choose to use synIRC CGI:IRC, just type in a nickname for yourself and "#animesuki" (type the '#' too). Then click "Login". It's that simple.

Thankies
Too lazy to to add another server to my settings so this works quite nicely as an easy web based IRC program ^^

VLC is doing the cutest thing of the stream going silent, right after KCL uploads a new track when she's finished speaking.
Sounds like a bug I'd love to find out why, but otherwise, aside from refreshing it every song, VLC seems to be a wee bit touch and go.
MPC (for some reason), sped it up , alvin and the chipmunks style (buffering it was not)

But for others, it'll probably be no problem

edit: realplayer, works fine, labelled tunes and everything.
But non-competiting entries are done, so I say 'night night' and 'good luck' to the competitors

Thanks for hosting your sleepy self on air, KCL

Mibbit huh? Never heard of it. Looks useful though.

EDIT: People had problems with stream stopping with MPC or VLC during non-competing entry broadcast. Alternate music players that don't have this problem:

Winamp
Foobar2000

[GipFace]

Winamp
Winamp pauses for three seconds or so after each song. No big deal, but be aware of it.

Just so you guys know, iTunes can now also open shoutcast links. Not that you'd necessarily want to.
