Practical tips

  • Use a USB audio interface instead of a built-in mic.
  • Prepare a stream-specific mix, separate from FOH if hybrid.
  • Test gain and avoid clipping.
  • Use BlackHole or Loopback (Mac), Voicemeeter or VB-Cable (Windows).
  • Test with a viewer before a paid concert.
  • Prefer wired headphones for monitoring.

Why 48 kHz Opus on Gniark Live?

48 kHz Opus keeps transients (drums, picks) and instrument harmonics. It is built for musical WebRTC, unlike voice codecs in meeting tools.

Frequently asked questions

Is a USB mic enough for a concert?

For a test or solo format yes; for a band or full mix, an interface with multiple inputs is recommended.

Should I compress the mix like radio?

A balanced mix is enough; avoid heavy compression that flattens musical dynamics.

Does Gniark Live replace YouTube Live?

No. YouTube Live is useful for reaching a mass audience. Gniark Live is better suited to private concerts, rehearsals, showcases, premium lives and events where low latency, link control and audio quality matter.

Can I use OBS with Gniark Live?

Yes. OBS can send a full scene to a Gniark Live room via the WHIP protocol.

Can I organize a private concert?

Yes. Gniark Live lets you create a private room, share a restricted link and run a concert for a selected audience.

Can I sell tickets?

Yes, via external ticketing such as HelloAsso, Billetweb, Shotgun or a payment link. Gniark Live provides the live room.

Is it suitable for nonprofits?

Yes. Nonprofits can run benefit concerts, galas, hybrid events, private lives or cultural broadcasts with more control than a generalist platform.

Do attendees need to install an app?

No. Access is via a compatible browser, with no mandatory installation.

How is it different from Zoom?

Zoom is built for meetings. Gniark Live focuses on live music, audio quality, low latency, OBS WHIP and broadcast control.

What internet connection is required?

A stable fibre, 4G or 5G connection is recommended. For a paid concert or event, run a technical test before going live.
