Many thanks to JamForte and KeithieW for holding down the fort and shepherding us through a wonderful day (and night) on the Moon, great job guys!
To Keithie:
BTW Keithie it's jtmckinley as in James T. McKinley, not jtmccinley or jtmcinley. K! K as in Keithie!, you misspelled it twice in this thread LOL. K?
To Iain:
Thanks for laying out how you guys did the show, good info for muso geeks like me
You experienced the bane of digital recording with the 100+ ms delay on your voice, that's always a problem with a DAW (and apparently with Nicecast as well) to varying degrees, but there are solutions. Not sure what gear you have in your studio (I saw what looked to be a Roland drum kit, I have the TD-20 BK myself, dunno about your audio interfaces), but the best way is a sound card or other AD/DA device that lets you monitor direct off the card, the EMU 1212 is a relatively inexpensive example:

To wit: "PatchMix™ DSP zero-latency hardware mixing and monitoring - with super-flexible patchbay - no external mixer needed" is the relevant bit
I usually don't bother to do it with SONAR since my latency is usually < 50 ms, but I have singer and drummer friends that can't even deal with that, so I've used the direct monitor on my Focusrite preamp in the past. The nice thing about the EMU card (just got one for upstairs) is that it has on-board FX too so you can give a singer a little "love" with reverb and delay on their mix even when it's a direct monitor (plus it's a pretty cheap card with good converters, same as in the Pro Tools 192, I've seen it for $79 online). Also the patch bay software on the 1212 is pretty cool, I can record anything that produces sound on my computer upstairs.
Thanks again!
