[GUIDE] Music trough microphone

[Joram]

NOTE: Before attempting anything of this you should know the rules of the microphone. You shouldn't be mic spamming, So how to avoid being considered mic-spamming? Spawn a radio prop and stay stationary on the same place, Do not walk around. Or get in your car like it's playing music from your car, You may drive around
Also do not "act dance" in your car, This is considered FailRP

For people who do not wish to readI do stutter in real life and hateful comments are not appreciated

Good guide, one correction;

I've been wondering how to mic-spam without HL-DJ, thanks for the tutorial.

This is a great, easy to follow tutorial.
Although, I do have a question.

Does using more than one cable as well as more than one repeater somehow increase the quality of the sound?
Because I simply set my cables to 1, default Line 1 in my recording devices, set foobar to transmit to Line 1 and launch a single repeater to transmit from my mic to Line 1 if I want to speak.
Wouldn't that setup mean less audio data flow and therefore less stressful for weaker computers?
