Re: [LAU] Streaming radio and calls from listeners

Hey everyone!

Thanks for all your advice!

I do have a second laptop I can use and I was thinking of this scheme:
channel this second laptop into the mixer or, indeed, channel the phone
into the mixer and do it this way. Thanks to the mixer, I will be able to
mute the call if someone says nasty things.

I installed Internet DJ Console, will look into it.

I wonder if streaming it live will work. A complicated setup, but
manageable. I was also thinking of streaming it to YouTube, live.
