How to be a DJ in Second Life

'Spacial', the creators of SAM Broadcaster, a professional broadcasting suite for Internet Radio stations, has published some help pages on their website detailing how to set-up their software for use in Second Life.

The story has been posted to active internet DJ's, looking to grow their audience figures. 

As we know, Second Life has a massive party scene.  For DJ's bringing their talents to Second Life, it is highly likely that extra listeners will be acquired.

So if you have ever been interested in being a DJ, the following help pages may be just enough to encourage you to take the plunge (with a free trial).

It is worth mentioning that SAM comes in several flavours, the most popular ones being SAM-Cloud for a monthly or yearly fee, or SAM Broadcaster Pro, which you install on your computer and pay for just once, without recurring fees.

Both support Auto-DJ, which means, when you are not personally broadcasting, the software will automatically choose tracks to play to keep your station on-air, even inserting jingles, voice-overs, and promotions at set times or intervals.
