Why I moved from Facebook Live to YouTube (and Twitch)

Every month as part of our corporate inDay program, we do social activities on a Friday. With some of my colleagues (Juan Rosales, Bryan Levay), we take this friday afternoon to play Beep Boops or Blip Bloops or modular synthesizers. We book a conference room with a view and often invite friends that play modular synthesizers too.

If you don't know what modular synthesizers are, I have a music playlist just for this:

Volume is controlled because this is all electronic music and we don't have to beat a real drum set... Overall, we are not louder than a conference call, and on inDay, anyhow, conference rooms are mostly empty or used for other social activities.

At these performances, we play together, sharing a clock, so it is easier to all be in sync. At many events, performers play their set one after the other's. We prefer to play together, explore harmony and try to learn from each others. We had the visit of many artists, in no particular order, and to cite a few: Chris OtchyR BenyDistcoM.0NormalienAmanda Chaudary, ....

I started to broadcast the event live using Facebook Live. I got a Line6 Sonic port VX, so I could take a stereo output and feed it into my iPhone, while still charging the phone. As you may understand the quality of the sound is more important to me than the quality of the video. I call this video series: inWooble.
