Mixcloud as a Broadcast Destination
One Broadcast, Every Platform
SavePoint streams to Mixcloud Live alongside Discord, YouTube, and the built-in web player. Add Mixcloud as another destination in your multi-platform broadcast.
Simple Stream Key Setup
Paste your Mixcloud RTMP stream key into SavePoint and you are ready to go. No complex OBS configuration, no manual FFmpeg commands.
Reach the Mixcloud Audience
Mixcloud is built for DJs, radio hosts, and long-form audio creators. Broadcast your station to an audience that values curated music programming.
Three Steps to Mixcloud Broadcasting
Paste Your Stream Key
Copy your Mixcloud Live RTMP stream key from your Mixcloud dashboard and paste it into SavePoint. That is the only platform-specific configuration required.
Build Your Schedule
Use the weekly schedule grid to program time-based segments. Morning deep house, afternoon funk, evening ambient. Schedule once, let automation handle the rest.
Start Broadcasting
SavePoint pre-renders your content and streams to Mixcloud Live via RTMP. Your station broadcasts continuously with Baseline encoding, 720p output, and paced delivery.
Professional Mixcloud Broadcasting
Weekly Schedule Grid
Program your entire week with time-based segments. Automate content rotations for a real radio station experience on Mixcloud.
Pre-Render Pipeline
Content is rendered ahead of time. During broadcast, CPU usage is near zero. Run 24/7 Mixcloud streams on modest hardware.
Dynamic Overlays
Now-playing tickers, logo watermarks, and custom graphics on your stream. Your Mixcloud broadcast looks professional automatically.
13+ Visual Transitions
Crossfade, dissolve, wipe, and more. Professional transitions between segments keep your Mixcloud stream polished.
Independent Channel Control
Enable or disable Mixcloud output independently from other destinations. Broadcast to Mixcloud and YouTube simultaneously, or Mixcloud alone.
Multi-Destination Output
Stream to Mixcloud, Discord, YouTube, and the built-in web player from a single broadcast schedule. One engine, multiple platforms.
AUDIO & VIDEO PLAYLIST MANAGEMENT
Import audio tracks, video files, and visual assets into your broadcast library. Create playlists with shuffle or sequential playback, mark favorites for boosted rotation, and exclude content without deleting it.
Folder Scanning
Import audio and video files from local directories with automatic metadata extraction. MP3, FLAC, WAV, MP4, WebM.
Playlist Scheduling
Create playlists with shuffle or sequential playback. Assign playlists to schedule segments for automated broadcast rotation.
Favorites & Boost
Mark content as favorites to increase their frequency in shuffle rotation. Weight your broadcast toward preferred tracks.
Exclusion Lists
Hide content from broadcast rotation without removing it from your library. Useful for seasonal or retired content.
Program Your Entire Week
Arrange your segments into a weekly schedule. Different music for morning, afternoon, and night, automatically.
Rotate live DJ sets on one Mixcloud station
Hand a scheduled hour to a label artist or guest DJ and let them broadcast into the station from their own rig. SavePoint relays their live set straight to Mixcloud for the duration of the slot, then returns to the regular programming when their hour ends.
Music labels use this to rotate a roster of artists through prime hours, then backfill the off hours with content from the same lineup. Curators run guest-mix nights, residency blocks, and special events on one station without juggling stream keys per artist.
Per-DJ time slots
Assign a scheduled segment to a station member. Their PC becomes the studio for that window.
OBS-compatible RTMP ingest
DJs stream in from OBS, hardware encoders, or any RTMP-capable broadcasting software.
Owner master override
Per-segment connection keys are scoped to one slot. The station master key reclaims the air at any time.
PREDICTABLE RESOURCE USAGE FOR 24/7 STREAMS
Real-time encoding keeps CPU and GPU usage elevated for the entire broadcast. That makes 24/7 Mixcloud streaming expensive and unpredictable on standard hardware.
SavePoint pre-renders transitions and visual overlays before playback, then streams cached segments during broadcast. This keeps resource usage low and consistent, even on modest hardware.
The result: broadcast software that runs reliably on both home machines and production VPS instances, without thermal throttling or surprise load spikes.

Your Station, Your Hardware, Your Rules
No Monthly Subscription
No recurring SaaS charges for the core station manager. Platform broadcasting features are available through an optional Year Pass ($69/year).
No Software-Imposed Storage Caps
Your media library lives on your drives. SavePoint does not limit how much content you import: capacity depends on your hardware.
No Software-Imposed Listener Caps
SavePoint does not gate capacity behind pricing tiers. Listener and viewer limits depend on your hosting, bandwidth, and streaming architecture.
RUN YOUR MIXCLOUD STATION ANYWHERE
Local Setup & Testing
Build and test your broadcast schedule on a home computer or local network. Configure playlists, visual overlays, and stream destinations before going live on Mixcloud.
Deploy to a VPS for 24/7 Streaming
Move the same configuration to a Node-ready VPS or dedicated server for always-on Mixcloud broadcasting. No reconfiguration needed. Your schedule, media, and settings transfer as-is.
Optimized for Mixcloud's Requirements
Baseline Encoding Profile
Mixcloud Live requires the H.264 Baseline profile. SavePoint configures this automatically when Mixcloud is selected as a broadcast destination.
720p Downscale Toggle
Mixcloud caps video input at 720p. SavePoint includes a per-channel downscale toggle that converts your 1080p content to 720p for Mixcloud without affecting other destinations.
Paced RTMP Output
Mixcloud rejects RTMP streams that arrive faster than real-time. SavePoint uses paced output to deliver frames at the correct rate, preventing connection drops.
SavePoint Streams To
The core SavePoint station manager is free to use, including the built-in HLS web player. Platform broadcasting features (such as Mixcloud and YouTube outputs) require a Year Pass ($69/year). Get instant access. View pricing →
