#Put limiter on nicecast mac#
Although we’ve never done this, it may be possible to do so routing the audio internally within your mac through an app or plugin. You may find it helps to reduce the input volume on your Mac to very low, and turn up the output volume on your XDJ-RX we record to Line In on Macs here in the studio a lot and find that gives us more control.īroadcast radio stations always apply compression to the output before sending it to the transmitter. That said, if you are using autogain in the software, that should more or less take care of this for you. By that, I mean jump to a loud part of the track and adjust its gain so that the level is a high as possible without going into the red, before you actually mix it in. The type of music you play is immaterial, because if you correctly gain stage each new track, they should sound fine together.
