1. A system for producing combined audio data associated with an event, the system comprising a user computational device, comprising a user interface and an audio intake device operated by said user computational device; a server comprising an audio data combining engine; an audio display; and a computer network for connecting between said user computational device, said server and said audio display; wherein said audio data combining engine of said server combines a plurality of audio data sources, including audio data from said audio intake device from said user computational device, in real time during the event, to form the combined audio data; and transmits the combined audio data to said audio display for audio playback in real time; wherein said user computational device is selected from the group consisting of a smartphone, tablet, an Alexa or other smart speaker, a smart home appliance, user computer, laptop, a phablet and another suitable computational device; wherein said audio playback in real time occurs with a delay of at least 100 ms; and further comprising a plurality of user computational devices, wherein audio data from a plurality of audio intake devices operated by said plurality of user computational devices is combined by said audio data combining engine, and wherein at least one audio data from said plurality of user computational devices is received with a time delay, wherein said combining by said audio data combining engine is adjusted according to said time delay.
