FAQ

Common questions about setting up Virtual DJ PRO for live audio streaming with Primcast.

Where do I find my server address, port and password?

Log into your Primcast dashboard and open your radio server settings. Your stream hostname, port number, and source password are listed there. Copy them exactly into the Virtual DJ PRO Broadcast tab.

What bitrate should I use for my stream?

The default value of 128 kbps MP3 is a good choice for most stations and provides a solid balance between audio quality and bandwidth usage. For voice-only or talk radio, 64 kbps is usually sufficient. Set the bitrate to match what your Primcast server plan supports.

Which server type should I select - SHOUTcast or Icecast?

It depends on your Primcast plan. SHOUTcast plans require the SHOUTcast server type; Icecast plans require Icecast. Check your Primcast dashboard to confirm which type your server is running.

My stream connects but listeners can't hear audio - what's wrong?

Check that Virtual DJ PRO has the correct audio output selected and that the master volume is not muted. Also verify the encoder bitrate and format match your Primcast server settings.

Do I need a paid Primcast plan to stream?

Yes, you need an active Primcast radio streaming plan which provides the server credentials used in this tutorial. Visit our Radio Streaming page to view available plans and get started.
