  2. Word of a new feature for Soul source Its called Source Talk and is now fully open after a brief sort of trial Its basically a high standard chat room service with a few extra decent features that feel can only make the whole soul source thing a better experience 1. Intergrated fully with whole of site - following the one site, one login, many features approach, Source Talk is just a one click no fuss thing, uses your soul source user name 2. Live Chat - Yep chat room thingy, normal sort of thing, but a lot of extra features read further for list of features 3 Live Audio - All members can now instantly stream audio from their pc to either all in Source Talk or if wish privately to one member. If you can play it on your pc you can instantly stream it in a no fuss no brainer way - see below for more 4. Private Chat - one on one chat with other members ?- easy just right click the name and away you go 5. Multi Rooms - Many permanent rooms can be set up - early days but all you have to do is shout if have any suggestions for permanent rooms you like to see 6. Members Rooms - All members can set up own rooms - password protected if wish 7. Other stuff - hatfull of other features - away notifications, can send sound smilies , can refuse private chat, can ignor eusers Future As said do feel this has lot of potenial, some obvious ones that spring to mind and plans are a foot follow Live Question and Answer Sessions - can host such" events , obvisouly can feature artists but can expand to whole gaggale of soul related interesting perosonalities Special Soul Audio Sessions - the live broadcast feature can be used many ways, be it organised main event radio type sessions, regular scheduled members sessions, or just free for alls, after event muckers sharing plays, and so on Along with ability to feature past live event tapes,members podcasts, archived rare soul radio and so on... chat - basically simple to use 1 type message 2 press send thats it best bet is to just try stuff out - there is a help guide which covers most things in the menu if need help etc - feel free to ask in members feedback audio (note need flash ) to listen to other members broadcast if a microphone is showing next to a members name that means he is broadcasting just right click the members name and choose the bottom option - listen to broadcast thats it - a window should open and you should start hearing the broadcast thru a flash player broadcasting to othe rmembers any member can brodcast anything that can be played on his pc or if fed into his pc by line in mp3s. podcasts, recorded radio, live off the decks via lin ein 1. set up our media player on pc with sound clip, playlist or set up line in 2. in chatroom choose the voicechat menu and choose "start my broadcast" 3. a window opens, the first time you will have to allow flash access to your mike, click on the mike icon and choose what device you want to broadcast from eg cdplayer, line in, stero mixer, etc etc 4. press play on your media player or playlist etc - thats it - you should be now broadcasting once set up the browser should remember settings for next time Boring stuff... limits no of users : 50 user limit t moment it is hosted on a specialist server, if it is required then will increase it audio connections - 50 again same as above members groups due to nature of this feature it is only open to the mint members group at moment any mint minus group members are more than welcome to request to move to the mint group if have a solid id there should be no problem, if not then all ask is that either supply a isp or traceable type email or get a mint member to vouch for you please pm requests to myself with title mint security features such as ignore user, deny private chat do exist any user having any sort of problms please use the email link at top of every site page and let us know modding normal rules and terms of use of site apply as all users are already members of soul source it is hoped that this will be used in a similar good natured manner and spirit such as the vast majority of members normally use the forums daily. there will be a small team who will help look after things end note ok now fully open live chat and live audio available, as said feel there is alot of potenial for the features these bring to soul source it is early days for this and there may be a sort of bedding in period. As always feedback, views suggestions, criticisms most welcome , please post in members feedback heres the link /index.p...utocom=chatpara this will be added to top menus asap over next day or so will rotate some archieved soul radio shows to demo the sound features when time allows just right click me if there and choose bottom listen option cheers mike

  6. As things have started falling in to place at long last on here , you should be seeing the news and articles section on here getting a kick up the arse and getting back to how it should be Some tale of two cities style event news Next month see's the return of the once regular Bangor Soul Nghts. Now with a new team taking it on they are returning on the first Friday of February and will be held on a bi-monthly format. Its same place as the last series ie the Con Club, but word is that the room has been greatly extended, it now takes in that back bar as well. Fresh team, better venue.. got to be worth a visit if in area Word from the forum is that the classy venue Qube in town centre is in the thick of things soul wise in Sheffield, with it now the new home of the regular Vault Of Soul nights and also Mick H being involved with putting on a alldayer on Sunday March 23rd Bank Holiday. Went to one of the charity alldayers last year and was well impressed with the two room venue. Can read Vault Of Soul and Micks words on the forum thread here https://www.soul-source.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=63977

  10. post deleted take it to pms
  11. A fair few bits of site news coming up over next day or so First off is word of a new forum setup and at long last now fully intergrated with the site and fully open. The new forum is called "Sharp End of Vinyl" and can be found in its new home via the look at your box forum. Its just been set up and is being looked after by long time member Roger Blythe -who you may know better via his member name 45cellar (members profile link https://www.soul-source.co.uk/index.php?showuser=2311) Many members will be aware of his many informative posts over the years on all sorts of vinyl related subjects, often with label scans and such. Thanks go out to Chalky, who made a suggestion after Roger has started a new series of posts, that it could be a worthwhile resource if all such posts were posted in a seperate section. Big thanks to Roger who when talked to him about the possibilties of this, quickly stepped up to the line and agreed to take it on and look after such a place. The forums already been running for a few days, and as its now offically open, showing on front page. in the new search index, it should in the near future be a valuable and worthwhile resource for all soul fans Anyway enough of my words here's Rogers intro from the forum. Words from Roger: Welcome, everyone. The aim of this sub forum is to concentrate on information relating to the collecting of original records. All relevant details relating to original records are worthy of a mention on here. So, please feel free to input and discuss. There is a wealth of knowledge on this forum and together we can compile a reference for all. I shall continue to scan, photograph and provide information with as much detail as I am able. The Bootleg Guide is of course an essential purchase, beyond the information here. Can view the new forum via link below https://www.soul-source.co.uk/index.php?showforum=56
