- TidalCycles<\/a> (obviously)<\/li>\n
- SuperCollider<\/a><\/li>\n
- SuperDirt<\/a><\/li>\n
- Atom<\/a> (or your preferred text editor)<\/li>\n
- Soundflowerbed<\/a><\/li>\n
- OBS<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Instructions<\/h2>\n
Soundflowerbed<\/h3>\n
- \n
- Launch SoundFlowerbed<\/li>\n
- A status icon will appear in the top menu strip. Click it and tick the ‘Built-in output’ option under\u00a0Soundflower (2ch)<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Also on the top menu strip, click the speaker icon and from the output device options select\u00a0Soundflower (2ch)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
SuperCollider<\/h3>\n
- \n
- Launch SuperCollider<\/li>\n
- Run the following command in SuperCollider by pasting it in the input window and hitting Shift + return<\/strong> anywhere on the line:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Server.default.options.outDevice_(\"Soundflower (2ch)\")\r\n<\/pre>\n
- \n
- Hit\u00a0Cmd + Shift + L<\/strong> to recompile the class library<\/li>\n
- Launch SuperDirt with:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
SuperDirt.start<\/pre>\n
In the post window you should see something like:<\/p>\n
\"Built-in Microph\" Input Device\r\n Streams: 1\r\n 0 channels 2\r\n\r\n\"Soundflower (2ch)\" Output Device\r\n Streams: 1\r\n 0 channels 2\r\n<\/pre>\n
This confirms that SuperCollider will output to SoundFlowerbed, which will act as the audio input to OBS for the stream.<\/p>\n
Atom \/ other text editor<\/h3>\n
- \n
- Launch Atom and save a new .tidal file<\/li>\n
- Exit full screen if that’s how the application is currently set. This is to overcome an issue with OBS detecting full screen application windows.<\/li>\n
- It’s also worth increasing your editor font size a few points so it’s clear in the stream.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
OBS<\/h3>\n
- \n
- Launch OBS<\/li>\n
- In the Sources menu click the\u00a0+\u00a0<\/strong>sign and select\u00a0Window Capture\u00a0<\/strong>from the list of available options.
\n![\"Soundflowerbed](\"http:\/\/blog.tidalcycles.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/img1.png\")
<\/li>\n- In the next screen select the application and file name combination that matches your text editor.<\/li>\n
- Switch back to your text editor and set it to full screen mode. Then head back to OBS.<\/li>\n
- You should see a stream of your text editor being rendered in OBS.
\n![\"OBS](\"http:\/\/blog.tidalcycles.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/img2-1024x948.png\")
<\/li>\n- Click the\u00a0 +\u00a0<\/strong>sign again to add your audio stream. Select\u00a0audio output capture<\/strong> and select Soundflower.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
YouTube<\/h3>\n
- \n
- Log into YouTube with an account you want to use to broadcast your performance to the world.<\/li>\n
- Click your user avatar in the top-right corner of the screen and select\u00a0Creator Studio.
\n![\"Youtube](\"http:\/\/blog.tidalcycles.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/img3.jpg\")
<\/strong><\/li>\n- From the left-hand panel select\u00a0Live streaming > Stream now<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Enter basic information for your stream.<\/li>\n
- Under the encoder set-up section at the bottom, click\u00a0Reveal\u00a0<\/strong>to display your encoder key and copy it. This will be used to authenticate your stream with YouTube.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Back to OBS<\/h3>\n
- \n
- \n
- \n
- Enter\u00a0Settings\u00a0<\/strong>and select\u00a0Stream\u00a0<\/strong>from the left-hand panel.
\n![\"OBS](\"http:\/\/blog.tidalcycles.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/img4-1024x381.png\")
<\/li>\n- Apply these settings:Stream type:\u00a0<\/strong>Streaming Services
\nService:\u00a0<\/strong>YouTube \/ YouTube Gaming
\nServer:\u00a0<\/strong>Primary YouTube ingest server
\nStream Key:<\/strong>\u00a0paste the key you were given on YouTube<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOBS Output Stream settings<\/h3>\n
You may wish to experiment with different settings for your stream (the bitrate in particular), I found these work for a decent resolution and audio quality, without encountering buffering issues.<\/p>\n
![\"OBS](\"http:\/\/blog.tidalcycles.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/img5-1024x583.png\")
<\/p>\nEncoder:\u00a0<\/strong>x264

You’re good to go.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Click\u00a0Start Streaming<\/strong> in OBS. In a few seconds the steam will be live on YouTube.<\/li>\n
- When you’ve finished click\u00a0Stop Streaming<\/strong> and YouTube will create a recording in your channel. You can choose whether to share, edit, delete, and so on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Here’s a guide for live streaming your TidalCycles session to YouTube. This is the set-up I use so it’s specific to Mac with SuperDirt and Atom. There a load of ways to achieve this so it would be great to see the guide expand.
