Running live audio from device to website

I run an “online radio scanner”(A radio in my garage with several railroad frequencies programmed into it.).

Click “Live Audio Feeds”. Click the Pennsylvania map, then click the Lancaster County map, then click the “speaker” icon at Lancaster County Rail - that would be my scanner - running several railroad frequencies in my area.

The audio is, generally, horrible. Might benefit from a run through an expander/compressor/limiter/Gate/EQ/Notch filter(And any other trick one can think of!) - though, “just a bit” of everything, to smooth things out a touch.).

Can I do this with Audacity? Can’t afford a, hardware, “channel strip” just for my(Out of my pocket) online scanner efforts.

Here’s the setup:

Scanning radio headphone jack, directly into the(Old XP desktop computer) mic input jack, then to “special online scanning software”, then to the web and RR.Com… Without another computer I don’t see how, but ------ do you?

Audacity doesn’t do anything in real time and it doesn’t play well with other audio programs.

You might experiment with not using the Mic-In on your processing computer. That’s very sensitive and prone to overloading and distortion. Try using the blue Stereo Line-In instead and turn that up instead of trying to turn the Mic-In down.
