I did this with T-Pain and Lil Jon's stream, the audio is still trash compared to what I'm talking about. I also have to stream my entire phone to my TV and I can't close the application the entire time it's live. Not ideal, and inconvenient.

Honestly, there's really no argument against what I'm saying outside of the audience/users accessibility thing... but yal got it.
most people don’t want to close the app...you’re arguing for a listening experience when a lot of people are there for the viewing experience, seeing celebs chop it up with each other, reading comments, hitting twitter for jokes or being on another device viewing with friends. Tons of people are more focused on what celebs and brands show up than the music, the shyt is a kickback more so than a performance. We can all let Spotify play in the background if we want flawless music that we can walk away from and go cook dinner, take a shower, play with our kids, etc to

I think Teddy and older artist don't understand the more gorilla style of media most people are making.

But, I understand him wanting to have a production and monetizing it.

People are really upset he doesn't want to do this for nothing.
Understandably:manny:


All the other battles have been for fun. We all inside with alot of people permanently unemployed.

The spirit of the battle was thrown off.

Yall talking about bringing it to another platform :mjlol:

The whole point of the shyt is convenience.. 90% of us already got the app.. jus click on the "live" you see..

No one trying to download a whole other app for the shyt..

I have known about this Versuz shyt since they started with Tim vs Swizz.
.but I only watched Wza and preem.. .:yeshrug:
And even more of us have Facebook, yal nikkas are ignoring logic. You acting like nobody knows what Youtube is

:ohhh:

The viewer experience would be elevated.

Having the option to watch these on our TVs and listen to these over real speakers is a better experience. That's not watering it down, that's taking some bootleg iteration of an idea and improving on it.

And even more of us have Facebook, yal nikkas are ignoring logic. You acting like nobody knows what Youtube is

:ohhh:
:manny:


Can facebook or youtube easily facilitate two people streaming with each other like instagram can?

You gotta remember that we're under quarantine and coordinating a studio quality livestream between two parties is damn near impossible at the moment. Of course we'd like higher quality, but it is what it is right now.

This live streaming shyt is obviously new to a lot of people for making it seem like what I'm saying is rocket science. I'm aware of why the viewing experience is what it is for these battles. I'm also aware that, this isn't anything new. I've used everything that I'm suggesting, and all I'm saying is that everything would be improved on a platform that is actually built for this.

T-Pain even said he wished he could stream the audio directly to the stream, because HE knows how much better it is as he's a regular streamer on Twitch, so he is hip to what else is possible.

This virtual party/dj set can be a new normal thing in music... even after this pandemic is over. Yal combating people who are discussing improvements and thinking ahead for what?

:what:

So you've livestreamed two people simultaneously interacting with each other on these platforms you're encouraging with readily available equipment to all parties involved?

IG is the easiest right now. Facebook removed the feature, so it's not like they can't do it. Youtube you can do it with Hangouts.

With all that said, these are billion dollar tech companies, and Facebook owns IG. It wouldn't be hard for them to enable 2 people steaming like this.

No one is arguing for a lack of improvement, people are happy with what it is. If they move it, they move it. But y’all acting like someone gonna come take their idea and do it better is just as silly, everyone knows who got this shyt popping. Lastly, if y’all want polished sound, write the set lists down, go make a playlist and spin it back...IG is where it’s at ATM so either appreciate what it currently is or don’t log on :yeshrug: Most people are there for the commentary and comments over anything, we can all go play the hits on our own, it’s the interactivity between regulars and celebs that has people in those

EXACTLY!! I was amused seeing Ghost and Meth make jokes during the Rza/Preem battle. That’s what I want to see. These guys aren’t going to comment on FB or YouTube. They’re all on IG right now

No, but I've streamed on everything, and I've used OBS and Elgato. If they have a computer, phone and a camera they can do this.

But since this is a show/series, the producers of the show would configure the shyt for everybody, so it's literally as easy as signing in and connecting to the platform that they're using. There would be more time for the initial setup, but that would improve the show and avoid situations like last night.

At the end of the day I ain’t mad at Teddy for trying to make a buck. Newsflash. Thats what your SUPPOSED to do with your talent. Especially someone like Teddy, who got jerked financially at the beginning of his career.

So all that “greed” shyt ain’t warranted. Thats like asking for an artist to drop a free album because its a pandemic. That ain’t the way the world works. We’ve been blessed so far that these IG Live battles have been free, but nobody should feel entitled to them.

On Youtube and Twitch you can go back and experience the live chat as it happened when the stream was live.
:hubie:

It's ok, I get that IG is the cool kid, but it pales in comparison to what's out there specifically for this type of setup.
