Recording Multiple Inputs Over the 'Net?

TFGeditor asks: "Thanks to the advice of fellow readers from a previous Ask Slashdot, I now have a PC system optimally configured to produce professional on-air radio programs. Now I have a new problem: my radio co-host and I are in different cities located a few hundred miles apart. In order to give the show a real-time (i.e. 'live') sound, we need to somehow connect us so that we can produce a show complete with co-host banter, real-time interaction, and so on. I want it to sound as if we were both in the same studio. How can we do this? Will Skype or other VOIP applications do this without the result sounding 'tinny' (like a phone connection)? Are there other apps that will do a better job?"

Re:POTS?

You do realize that many, even most, of the group conversations you hear on over-the-air radio are between people who are connected via POTS, right?

Yes, and they generally sound like crap. Yes, you can hear them, but they still sound like crap.

Not if you have a sound-warming tube amp, and gold-plated connectors.

The only problem with VOIP is latency. It's a subtle thing, so whether or not it's a factor will depend on the type of discussion, but it can easily throw off comic

Ah, you can fix that in post.
