Isn't that "some" pretty close to "all"? When I was starting performing in SL I don't think I met a single established performer who wasn't more than happy to hang out and talk gear, software, inworld stage settings or any other aspect of performing inworld. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I had a live music club in world after the shows I'd turn on voice mode and some performers still there would talk shop. I would hear comments about getting gear from Sweetwater or Reverb a lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about an easy way for the "broke musician" to become the "bankrupt musician" in 30 seconds flat if they don't ease up on the GAS. And everybody is on there. Buddy of mine sold a fx pedal he'd bought when he was 13 (he's now 62) on there and it went to a buyer who was actually quite a big name and had been looking for one for years... It's also my go-to place if I'm looking for parts to complete a keyboard restoration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not throwing anything at me, thankfully Been there, done that, collected the beer bottle upside the head My current "stable" is a Martin 6-string and Takamine 12-string acoustics, American Performer-series Strat and a Reverend Airwave 12 for the electric side. I'm hoping that's me done with instrument acquisition for a good long while (unless some evil sod of a salesman puts a nice resonator or mandocello in my hands when "I'm only in here to buy some strings, honest!" - NEVER visit a music shop right after the day-job's payday. It always hurts.) I truly wouldn't be nervous about performing in SL in your situation. You already know how to create a live sound. Just do it as if you were performing live-RL and send the main mix to the stream, the same way you'd send it to the "House PA" - with the SL-sound muted so you don;t get pings, beeps or 20-second-delayed-applause-gestures sneaking into your audio You know, that's actually the cleanest and simplest way to say it. The software to send it and the stream server are the "House PA" - if you can handle that, you can send a stream. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
