I've found the software we need...

Alrighty...New fundraising goal: 500$!

... *Gulp*

No need to panic, we got this.

Don't you think you should trial it before actually buying it?

I second this motion. I trust the recommendations, but you can't be too safe when making a $500 investment.

2 questions:
1) Are you getting the mac or pc version (got confused by your earlier statement).
2) Can we share it, for some reason I want to say probably not. But idk.

Agreed, donations go to where you are needed!

[Gero-kun]

Agreed, and also glad to hear the recommendation for the program.

Anytime I am most honored to help out in any way I can.

seems pricey are you sure none of the free ones will work for you?

at the very least you should test some free options before jumping at the payed option

also I can't say I recommend a Windows server

@Applejack did you see this post already? I don't know anything about streaming but... that's a lot of free options to consider before dropping $500. Though I understand the pros of having the software for when we start growing even more.

[ScreamingSidewalks]

Looking at it, it is a fair bit but I'm sure we will all get behind you and help if you need it, I toss in a bit more if I can find a gap in my expenses.

****edit****
Have you looked at available linux programs as an intern solution? You might find what you need until you get your desired funds.

Linux would be nice, just not userfriendly, and honestly that's what we need. We need to eliminate technical details, not create more. I like the idea of try before you buy. Man it looks like this is going to be seriously expensive. I'll keep digging.

Cool, but when it is going to be here?
