This looks like it could be really powerful, especially for people doing
internet lessons. Could make jamming fun too!

Excerpt: "Google wants Hangouts On
Air<http://www.google.com/+/learnmore/hangouts/onair.html> to
become the way musicians stream concerts from their garage or the stadium,
so today it launches Studio
Mode<https://plus.google.com/u/0/100732602720556154243/posts/AtucPBYBUgS>,
an option that lets broadcasters optimize sound quality for real-time music
instead of voice. Studio Mode makes a big difference, turning the noisy
digital gargle into something closer to CD-quality. I’ve confirmed with
Google that Studio Mode streams in stereo at a higher bitrate through a
different codec. The feature is rolling out of the course of the day."
