Free for every DJ
Press play.
You're live.
Stream your set to radio or video without touching OBS, bitrates or stream keys. Go Live finds your mixer, checks your camera and internet, tests your stream with the station, then gives you one big button.
Windows today · Mac coming soon · works with any controller, mixer or DJ software
Set up by answering two questions
Sound only, or sound and camera? Then play a track. Go Live listens to every input at once and picks the one carrying your music - not the laptop mic.
Tested before you go on air
It checks your computer, measures your upload speed, chooses the right quality and sends a real 30-second test to the station - then tells you, in plain English, what it received.
Stays live on its own
Wi-Fi blip? It reconnects by itself. Track stopped? It tells you your listeners hear silence. Your laptop won't doze off mid-set, and nothing pops up to interrupt you.
From install to on air
Sign in
Use your MakingWaves account - it's free. One click in your browser and you're in.
Sound, or sound and camera
Pick radio or video. For video, Go Live picks your webcam and shows you exactly what viewers will see.
Play a track
It finds your mixer and flags the usual problems: microphone chosen by mistake, mono, one side missing, too quiet, distorting.
Pick where
On 4TheMusic? Your account links automatically - no stream key to copy. Otherwise, paste your stream name once.
Automatic check
Computer, internet, quality and a real test stream - all ticked off for you in about a minute.
Go Live
One button when your slot starts. A big light tells you you're on air. One button to end.
Everything a technician would check. Done for you.
Your sound
Real stereo from your mixer at a healthy level. No echo cancellation, noise gates or auto-gain wrecking the music.
Your computer
Uses your graphics chip (NVIDIA, Intel, AMD or Mac) to encode video, so your DJ software stays smooth.
Your internet
Measures your real upload and leaves headroom, so someone else in the house uploading photos doesn't drop your set.
Your stream
Broadcast-grade settings, locked in: 720p at 30 fps for video, 320k for radio - stepping down automatically on a slow line.
Where you can stream
4TheMusic
Radio and video. If your confirmed MakingWaves email matches your 4TheMusic login, it links on its own - your stream name is never shown or typed.
Twitch, YouTube, Mixcloud Live, Kick
Pick the platform, paste your key once. Stream to several at the same time.
Any radio station
Icecast, Shoutcast, AzuraCast, Radio.co or a custom RTMP server. Station owners will be able to send their DJs a one-click invite link.
Scheduled slots
Go live and end on time automatically for your booked slot - including playing out a pre-recorded mix.
Fewer "my stream's broken" messages.
Every DJ on Go Live arrives with the same tested, broadcast-ready settings. Your DJs stop wrestling OBS, and you stop debugging their encoders five minutes before their slot.
Go live in minutes, not evenings.
Go Live is free for every DJ with a MakingWaves account.
Windows 10 and 11. On first run Windows may show a SmartScreen notice - click "More info" then "Run anyway" while we finish code-signing. Using Now Playing too? Same account, same sign-in.
