Null Output

Hey,

Can you use two instances of Winamp at the same time, or will it affect the broadcast? For example, can you put the broadcasting (SHOUTcast) instance of Winamp on the NULL Output and use another instance to cue songs?

Will that cause any problems?

Depends on your broadcast settings.

If you're in advanced/soundcard mode and both Winamps are making sounds, then both will be heard.

Otherwise, one Winamp/DSP combo going straight to the DNAS with the null ouput should be separate from a second Winamp. Even if you fire up the DSP on the second Winamp, it won't connect since the DNAS only accepts one source.

Ahh, yeah, didn't think about that...ok...i got it:
Soundcard mode + two winamps = mixed broadcast.
Winamp mode + two winamps = OK, b/c only first is broadcasting (no sound overlap at all?).

Btw, when someone says advanced mode, is "soundcard mode" all they're refering to?

thanks,
rg.

From my limited experience with either, they're the same thing to me.

I've only used Winamp as the source.

Your scenario appears correct.
