Live Audio
It takes specific preparations to being able to cover live events succesfully. Though audio events are technically not as critical as live video events.
Besides good quality equipment, you need sufficient encoding and media distribution capacity in place for at least the amount of concurrent viewers you're expecting.
Not preparing often results in dissapointing live sessions due to capacity problems.
Offering Virtual Seats prevents problems
Selling or distributing so called 'Virtual Seats' prevents problems and guarantee a succesfull live session.
By defining the size of your online audience, and distributing 'Virtual Seats' among them you not only determine the needed streaming media capacity, you also get to know your audience.
Interact with your Live Audience. While your radio player with your live session gets distributed among social networking sites you are able to fully control not only the streamed content, but also the applications like: voting, tickertapes with live Tweets, questionaires et all.
