It’s been over a year since I switched to streaming some of my DJ sets to Twitch. I landed there for a variety of reasons but here are the key points.
Twitch wasn’t new to streaming. Having served the gaming community for a long stretch, they had much infrastructure already in place and that meant absorbing a lot of newcomers wasn’t too much of a heavy lift as it was for many other platforms expanding into that space in the middle of a pandemic.
Their overall sound and video quality in-stream was equal to or better than most of their nearest competitors.
The part where they struggled with the most was structuring their copyright compliance so that it fit what deejays do. After a few hiccups they also seem to have landed in a very good position there as well. The only platform that might be better positioned in this arena might be Mixcloud. Interestingly though, they have had some significant growing pains in the other two areas I mentioned above.
So in an effort to grow on Twitch and to satisfy all you voyeurs, this month I will start doing periodic live streams while I’m creating new music. Here’s your chance to get a peek into a part of my creative process. This is an addition to my DJ sets that I stream on that platform.
