This month is all about the people behind the stream. Mixing Station Anywhere has a new name, a longtime producer shares what he wishes he'd known before his first paid gig, and a one person operation in a town of 6,000 shows what small town sports coverage can look like. Plus, grab your seat for October's webinar on leading tech volunteers.
Mixing Station Anywhere Is Now BoxCast RemoteMix
Same product, same team, new name to match the rest of the BoxCast family. Every feature and workflow you use today stays exactly where it is, so there's nothing to reinstall and nothing to relearn.
Our partnership with Mixing Station isn't going anywhere either. It's still included with your subscription, just like it is today. We have more coming for BoxCast RemoteMix soon, so keep an eye out!
7 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Got Paid to Live Stream
The jump from streaming for fun to streaming for a paying client changes everything, and most of those lessons come the hard way. Josh Clemence spent ten years learning them on real events, and he's written down the seven that would have saved him the most trouble.
A few might surprise you. Clients care far less about the brand on your gear than you think, audio problems lose viewers faster than shaky video, and knowing how to price your time is its own skill. Worth a read whether you're taking your first booking or your hundredth.
Every producer has a story about the night the internet died. This video walks through the gear we actually pack for backup: hotspots for when the venue's connection gives out, a recorder running alongside the stream, a hum eliminator for the XLR line that won't behave, and enough battery to outlast the power.
None of it is exotic. It's just the stuff you'll wish you had the one time you need it.
Church Tech Volunteer Leadership Tips with Todd Elliott from FILO
Recruiting tech volunteers is one thing. Keeping them for years is another. On October 15 at 2:00 p.m. EST, Todd Elliott of FILO joins BoxCast's Brett Bzdafka to talk through what actually works when you're building an audio, video, and lighting team that sticks around.
They'll cover how to spot the right people, what a good first month looks like, how to keep training going after onboarding ends, and the common missteps that quietly burn volunteers out. Bring your questions.
Corry, Pennsylvania has about 6,000 people in it. DeeJ Experience covers more than 350 events there every year, and pulled over 230,000 views last season doing it.
Scott Lockwood started in 2017 with an iPad pointed at a Facebook feed. Today he runs a multi camera setup with BoxCast, Blackmagic ATEM switching, and Hollyland wireless, covering student athletes across every age, gender, and sport in town. As Scott puts it, the commentary is what makes DeeJ work, "but if you don't have the video quality to back that up, you might as well get your phone out and stream." His story is a good look at how a community operation grows into a real broadcast.
We're proud to share that BoxCast has been recognized as a NorthCoast 99 winner and named a 2026 Top Workplace in Northeast Ohio. Both awards come down to the same thing: the people here, and the customers who keep us pointed in the right direction. Thank you for being part of it!
