So here's a question:
In professional radio, it is not uncommon for two radio hosts to not actually be in the same studio. In fact they can be at opposite ends of the country or even the world. The two studios are linked so that it appears to the outside world that they are in the same room interacting with one another.
Does anyone know how a similar setup can be done with OSX and Virtual DJ?
I have a DJ friend of mine in England and I'm in Australia. I want to run Virtual DJ to output music to a shoutcast server with internittent voice inserts where my friend and I can combine our mic inputs and output an aggregated stream to the shout cast server.
Can this be done? How?
It would seem that the solution is a piece of software that captures my friends mic input and transmits it to my machine where it is then combined with my mic through an aggregate midi device before being routed in to Virtual DJ. I haven't been able to find a piece of software that can do this.
Obviously we would each need to be able to hear what the other is saying as well.
Any insights would be fantastic .. Thanks

I just did something similar for a local radio station using the Comrex Bric (hardware). http://www.comrex.com/products/briclink.html It is expensive!! Around $1,500 per unit. You would need 2 units - one for your end and one for your friends end. The delay for me was 137ms (less than 1 second!). I was sending audio 155 miles (2 hours 20 minutes).
You would take the output of your device and route it into your audio mixer and then the master output of that into the soundcard to feed the audio to send to shoutcast server.

Can you use Skype and route the audio into Vdj?

The delay would be bad using Skype I would think but it's worth a try. The radio companies you referred to in the original post...those guys are using the top of the line stuff like the Comrex. That device uses the UDP protocol instead of TCP.

There are many platforms for musicians to collaborate online in real time with low latency.... The technology is available. The only problem is you may need a dedicated pc for the software & additional hardware to reduce the latency for a error free dj set.
The search word is " online jam sessions "
Some are based around audio sequencers so i would also consider checking the Cubase Ableton , Pro tools , Garage band etc etc or musician forums..
Some may involve additional hardware eg Jamlink https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svN4ZmrR7vclist=PLTWOrQ7R1szlrjYlPQiNLU4ZCQ6UrJ09R
Ive not kept up with developments but you could also try looking at a trial version of E jamming http://ejamming.com/ which is a very popular platform or the freely available ..Ninjam ( used alongside a reaper sequencer / daw ) as a guide.

I forgot to mention that these platforms will only be effective under 500 miles with a healthy internet connection so consider this.
London England - Sydney Australia.. Distance= 10553.06 miles ..
