There are several “Sampling rate” options to choose from.Select “Dual channel” if you have different audio content (for example, in different languages) on each channel.Select “Joint stereo” for optimized stereo compression.For bitrates lower than 48 kbps, select “Mono.”.For bitrates higher than 48 kbps, select “Stereo.”.The combined bitrate of all your streams should never exceed 80% of the value of the upload speed reported by. Make sure your bandwidth can support your streaming bitrate.For example, if you signed up for a 64 kbps stream, your profile must stream at 64 kbps or lower. To avoid having your streaming service suspended, select a profile that will stream at a bitrate that’s less than or equal to what you signed up for on SpacialNet.For a good cost/quality ratio, we recommend 64 kbps. However, a higher bitrate also costs more and will require more bandwidth.

The higher the bitrate, the better the sound quality. Set your “Bitrate” under “Setting.” The bitrate is the amount of bandwidth used by a single stream.The MP3 (LAME) encoder window will then appear. In the “Encoders” window, click the plus sign (“+”) to add a new encoder.Click on the “Encoders” button at the bottom left corner.To set up your MP3 encoder, open SAM Cast and follow these steps: Either leave this page open or copy it so you can use it when setting up your MP3 encoder.Under “Hosting” in the left menu, click on “Stream hosting.”.For the sake of example, let’s say you’ve signed up for a SHOUTcast hosting account through SpacialNet. Its low-bitrate sound quality isn’t as good as, say, AAC format, but MP3 is very popular.īefore you start, you must retrieve server details from your SpacialNet account. MP3 is one of the oldest streaming formats, which means it’s compatible with most players on most software, sound devices, and browsers.
