EPTLately I have had the urge to start livestreaming my sets. Basically that would entail putting it on ustream or w.e, and having a cam view my set up with me mixing live. Even though I don't use standard turn-tables, it might be fun because:
1. Visually it might be cool
2. I can chat with viewers, maybe accept requests or genre changes or whatever.
3. Live is always more exciting!
The thing is that, I really wanna make sure it would be worth it. It might be a fair bit of extra work so I want your opinion. I would still upload regular mixes to soundcloud, this would just be extra for fun. Some tracks may repeat but whatever...I don't have a billion dollars to buy every track out there.

Couple things:
1. Good news, I am now able to put files on soundcloud as 320 bit rate, compared to the rough 128 before. I actually record in WAV, but the file is too huge so I need to bring it down to something smaller to be able to upload it online. I am using Audacity and it would always convert to really bad quality (128). However recently I discovered an option to be able to convert to 320 which is awesome because now it will sound WAY better (especially if you have decent headphones).
2. Just two questions I have regarding the format of my mixes. Since you guys make up pretty well 99% of the people who listen to my sets, I figure I might as well ask you what you prefer here:

That's about it. Next set should be up in about 1-2 weeks. Also please feel free to give me any suggestions for improvements regarding format, structure, genres, or anything about my sets. Also, thanks so much for listening, it really gives me a reason to keep making these.
