Hope this helped you set up live callers on your radio station. If you have any more suggestions please let me know, comment below! 👇
Can you help me find my station i.d for airtime pro
another one is the windows phone link same thing just use the phone link to hook up with blue tooth directly to computer and use your mike and headphones for the call leaving your mixer free for other audio hook up
My name Linda M. From Columbus Ohio
When you made that call,I heard nothing Mr brit
Resonance between RF and the magnet of the phone receiver. They may have changed the frequency slightly to remedy that. You were actually hearing the signal code in that resonance, hence the morseish tapping pattern in the buzzing. It's actually computer code you are hearing when that happens.
Exactly what I needed! Cable from phone into input 2 of my Scarlett 2i2, and I am roaring and ready for phone conversation recording on my new Podcast! :D
Wow that is awesome. Now I can take callers. Thank you for the video. Very informative. I started my station back in Aug on a different service but I think I can pull it off with my interface. Going to have to test that out. Thank you very much.
Excellent presentation on point, our friend has the Roadcaster and loves it very much especially with the feature that he can hold an interview via his cellphone. Next year we will purchase a unit and broadcast from our company and interview the many spanish artist in NYC. Good tip's for using a cellphone as well to hold an interview and the broadcasting program is populer here in the USA as well.
THANKS JAMES!!! You solved a phone issue with a great video explanation!! GOD BLESS!!!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this video! Very helpful
This was a huge help and super informational! Thank you!
I'm glad you found it useful!
I love this video, from simple to more complicated, very helpful thank you so much
Hey James, I use the RODECaster Pro and love this piece of Aussie tech! My tip for people who buy one is to use the cable connect where possible - I have found that it provides superior sound quality to the Bluetooth option. That said, if the TRRS channel is being used for something else (e.g. external music source), BT is more than adequate.
Great tip, Neil! Thank you for sharing!
Great video, any advice on what hardware to use for multiple phone calls?
Good info
Thank you!
Welcome!
hey mate, great video, I do live streams every week however I do have phone calls ringing in but when someone else rings in at the same time they is a noise letting me know that someone is calling and comes though the stream how do i turn that beeping noise off.
thanks mate
great! thanks a lot
Glad you liked it!
Thanks James, am interested in starting my online radio. I need your help.
great video!
Glad you found it useful! 🙌
Thanks for explaing. Does radio co available on a Android phone
great info.. thank you. i actually get that interference when i use a usb mic and get a txt or notification
Good to know!
You know it's funny that you pointed that out because I saw a Instagram post talking about the past kind of nostalgia type post and it played that audio and showed some computer speakers. And I was like you know I haven't heard that in a while. I have no idea why we used to get that sound and we don't now.
Hi, what DAW were you using with the AI/phone adapter setup?
Could you show how you route the caller into the RIGHT channel and then your voice in the LEFT channel? I use Adobe Audition and I'd love to know how you do that. Thanks!
With obs you can add window audio and use TextNow on the desktop to get a caller audio
Also can this Interface box work with taking live calls on streamyard ?
Cool video; I"m new to podcasting, and I like to use Skype, since its already hooked up to my laptop, as well as extended speakers, as I dont have the mixer board as of yet
Thanks! Using a mixer just gives you that extra degree of control 👌🏼
So you can use Skype for taking live callers? I am new new to this so thank you.
Great video ✊🏾👍🏾
Thanks for watching
@@JamesMulvanyTV thanks for posting ✊🏾💯
Can you do method #2 if you're using a zoom as your audio interface?
James my question is can the rode caster pro hook up to voice changer equipment or software and make calls and receive calls with me having a studio quality altered voice?
Loved the video..it helped a lot. Not sure if I should go with your software to go live or Radiodj?? I'm not the sharpest knife in the computer box lol I need some help
Radio.co is cloud based and super easy to set up and use. RadioDJ is desktop software which is a lot more complicated.
Great but I love the cable connection to Audio Interface more
Sometimes Analog can’t be beaten!
Hey. So I'd like to do exactly what the Rodecaster does with the 3 ring cable for phone calls, but since I have my own mixer already I think getting it is overspending. Do you have any recommendations for what I can get to achieve this? I just want clear output from the phone, and input from the mixer back to the caller.
Maybe a mix minus setup would work?
You can find steps on how to set this up towards the end of this blog post: radio.co/blog/take-live-calls-with-mix-minus
Oh and as far as that sound it would happen before the person's phone started ringing and sometimes boob tube TVs would make that sound even if the power was off. We had a TV in class and I could always tell when my teacher's cell phone was going to start ringing because the TV that was turned off would do that
So how does the audio interface connect to your computer? Would this work with OBS? Are your headphones connected to the interface or the computer itself? Thank you.
They connect via USB and show up as a sound device (either on Mac or Windows) and yes they will all work with OBS. It's just a case of making sure you have the correct source selected.
Great video. I can’t afford a mixer, is it possible to connect your phone to the main laptop/computer without a mixing desk?
As far as I know there is no way to connect your phone directly through your laptop/computer.
There are cheaper options out there when it comes to audio interfaces (check out the Focusrite Scarlett series). However, by far the cheapest option here is holding your phone up to the mic! 🎙️📲
In method number two, how was the caller able to hear you? (I understand how you were bringing back the caller’s audio into the aux input of your mixer… Different question).
So is this possible if one decides to use it as a RUclips video instead of podcast or radio live?
What camera did you use to film this video? I like the smooth clear video which gives a kind of live feel. I think it looks really nice!
Sony Zv7
how about zoom for phone or video call on live radio? I will try this over the weekend and check back.
Let me know how you get on 👌
When you add guests to a live broadcast, will I be able to play music or an introduction song before I unmute their mic?
You can if you route it into another computer's DAW (or just use a mixing board)
Hi James! I enjoyed this video. I have a LIVE radio show on LIVE 365 and I have asked a friend of mine to join my show as second chair. He lives in the UK and I am in the states. My show goes through SAM BROADCASTER PRO. Which style of call in setup would you suggest? Could I use just the cell phone method held up to my mic or is there another method you would suggest. I don't have the money to buy a lot of expensive equipment just so people can hear his voice along with mine on my show. Thanks for your time. Keep on ROCKIN'! \m/
Hi do you have any tutorials on how to alternate between music and talking?
Yes, I do!
Music stops, talking starts! Talking stops, next song starts?
Hi James, perhaps you could have included Skype, Telegram, Messenger, and Whatsapp to the list. These platforms even enables multiple callers in a session. We have been using those since Wavestreamer days. Just a thought.
Of course - the point of using a mobile phone or computer is that you can use any platform to make calls! Also I mentioned WhatsApp in the RODEcaster Pro Section. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍
James Mulvany I'm looking forward to an enhancement with codes written into the radio.co app to integrate at least Skype with a minus one configuration. Great app nonetheless. Been with you guys 7 years running👌🙌💯
Thanks Charles 🙏🏻 take care
Hey.. can the callers hear each other on this options or do I need to do a group what's app call? Is it strong enough and clear? Cant wait to have two callers on one show but they need to hear one another
I have a USB mixer and I’m trying to figure out how to use this solely for live calls on my live streams on stream yard . Can you help me pls ? Once I connect my iPhones with the white little wire and then plug the mixer wire in(it’s a 2 headed Jack) where as u just have one lead that plugs into the hole of your unit . Help help help . I was told by the compay it can do this , but it hasnt any instructions . I’ve asked mates to call in and it still doesn’t ring on my end my iPhone sound goes and
Great content loving it
Just a question can we video stream same radio session on RUclips?
Yes, although RUclips may restrict your stream if you're playing copyright material.
@@JamesMulvanyTV like songs in background ?🤕
@@heyletsplay8579 Yeah... coz those songs are someone else's property. Using them without permission is copyright infringement. Pro radio stations have to submit playlists and pay a mechanical royalty to each artist for every play of a given piece of music. Having had one of my own songs used by Polygram in a movie... which I still haven't received anything for... I'm a strong supporter of copyright law... and a victim of copyright theft. So... your use of the "injured" emoji is 100% inappropriate. You have to pay!
I'm interested in starting a online talk show where people can share life experiences and just get things out of their heads (stress rebirth). We are about being here for each others and motivated each other with various topics. I have been trying and learning from different website but seems as if am not getting anywhere. Any help will do. thanks. I just want to start.
Hey I have a RUclips page where I have callers who want to call in. I can't keep using Stream Yard becuase if they put bad things on the screen youtube can delete my page so I want a way they can call in right away, and then then audience can hear them.
Hi sir am planing to start offline phone cal frank cals. So what are the things i have to purches. Plz suggest me. Already i have sony alpho 6400 camera only.
Buying a phone would be a good start!
to do a web radio via radio.co or listen2myradio we must pay royalty for the songs we play?
If you're playing copyrighted music you will need a music license. You can find out more information here: help.radio.co/en/articles/899777-music-licensing-royalties
I'm doing it right now on a community radio if my ox got a problem
I think no interference from 2.4 vs 5 ghz transmissions (I don't know if this is rudimentary or not to share).
What’s that audio interface called?
I use two interfaces in this video:
Audient iD4 (UK): www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0107YJU8Q?tag=radiodotco-21
Audient iD4 (US): www.amazon.com/dp/B0107YJU8Q?tag=radiodotco-20
Rode RODECaster Pro (UK): www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07M5LQ1YZ?tag=radiodotco-21
Rode RODECaster Pro (US): www.amazon.com/dp/B07M5LQ1YZ?tag=radiodotco-20
Most updated phones have a noise gate interface
But when you connect your phone via Bluetooth...You can get your double audio one is through your mic & then you get it from the phone also.. what is the solution for that ?
So I understand how you can hear the caller when the phone is connected to the interface, but how does he hear you?
In that scenario, the caller will be able to hear you through the microphone which is built into your smart phone.
Hi, I have a podcast coming up. I am trying to set up a phone queue for multiple callers. (We may get one caller or 20 or 50, not sure)
But I was wondering if you have an idea on what I could use so people can call in, wait in a queue for their turn and such.
Any ideas?
What is the software you're using to record your show
Also thank you. You have shared a ton of info on how to get started, thanks
Adobe Audition
I have a small mixer and mine does music audio via Bluetooth only no call audio
This is a really excellent video I may say.
I’m trying to live stream and take phone calls while on live stream and I’m having a little bit a problem. Wanna see if someone on here can help me out.
I have a Yamaha mixer and I have the RANE 4 Controller. I also am using the Serato software on one PC and stream labs on another PC separately and I have the ID for plugged into my PC that has the stream lab software. I did a test run I can hear music playing out of my monitors from RUclips very clear from my cell phone and with great quality, but when I try to make a phone call, I cannot hear anything come out the monitors or out of my headphones that I have plugged into my ID4. Can anyone assist and help you out to understand how to configure it where I can receive phone calls, and it can be heard into the live stream broadcast.
Thank you in advance for anyone who wants to help out. I greatly appreciate the group.
when phones went digitial the old analog noises went away.
All I've been trying to do is give an answer to recent question on 101.7 live radio. DJ Said people drive 15 miles over the speed limit.... WRONG. U can drive exactly 7 miles over speed limit. Told by my uncle (traffic signal decisions... Just follow any semi. They drive exactly 7 😢 over speed limit for 40 yrs! Mad because I can't answer the question asked on 101.7. Columbus Ohio 😠
I didn't hear any caller audio with method 2 of just hooking your phone up to the audio interface
I need help setting up a real show with paperwork on the so call Gees
We couldn't hear Graham, so I'm not sure if it sounded awesome or not. I guess I'll have to just take your word for it haha.
He sounded great, I promise! 😂
Just checked the audio on the video and it's sounding okay to me. Is the phone call a bit too quiet?
@@JamesMulvanyTV I could hear you loud and clear, were we meant to hear Graham? Because I literally could hear nothing from him.
@Acorn to Icon You should be able to hear him at 3:16. I can hear him fine on my end 🤔
@@JamesMulvanyTV Are you winding me up? lol 😂
@@acorntoicon I didnt hear him either
The interference is 2G GSM we no longer use GSM
Thanks for the information Andrew - I knew someone would have the answer! 😎
@@JamesMulvanyTV 2G still exists if there is lots of congestion or if you are out in the country side you may still get a 2g or sometimes called EDGE
Well, I still get it using 3G. Surely, its just RF breakthrough? If you put a string(ish) transmitter near a microphone cable chances are you will pick it up
no interference because it is digital as opposed to analog communication
Help me please
The interference is still there, you can't hear it because it's on a higher frequency and it's at a much lower power for battery life.

BUT HE IS NOT HEARING YOU FROM THE OFFICIAL MIC, HE ONLY HEARS YOU WHEN YOU SPEAK ON THE PHONE MIC
He explained on the rodecaster pro,
Gayikajhinukkephoneditebolshagor
you lost me at the haircut
You lost me at the fact your username is “ActorComedian” but you clearly not funny 😢
you're batting a thousand -- every method is unrealistic for someone who already has a radio station setup and doesn't want to spend a fortune in hardware.
Hang up then.
…you just said holding a phone up to your mic is dumb though? That doesn’t cost anything? Now you’re saying it costs too much?
I promise - I’m not the one that’s dumb.
