What if I want to use turntables to Broadcast Live through SHOUTcast?
Most new turntables can be connected directly to your PC using USB or FireWire. This makes live streaming through SHOUTcast much easier, as all you would have to do is select that particular input in the SHOUTcast Source Plug-in.
If your turntables can’t be connected directly to your PC via USB or FireWire, you will need to use your sound card’s “Line-In” to transfer the sound from your turntables to your PC. You can then select “Line-In” as the input for your SHOUTcast Source Plug-in.
