My band has called it a day. Sadly, our bandleader is pretty ill and the prognosis is not good. I've been working hard on material we recorded over the past few years and I've managed to find enough tracks for 6 complete songs, which I'm going to put up on the usual platforms just so we remember the good times we all have.

In this lockdown there's loads of material on YouTube with brass bands, choirs, orchestra etc all singing at home and then it sounds and looks so simple.

I got asked - as a freebie of course, to do one for an amateur choir - you know the thing, really nice people but the prospect of using technology at home on their own daunting.

Feel free to post your own examples of songs/bands/artists who had great musicianship...and great sonics/mix examples are welcome, too.

Here's a fave of mine, from the Fall of '77.
Smoke From A Distant Fire, by The Sanford-Townsend Band ( TSTB). I loved this track the first time I heard it.

hello,

Hello,

I'm trying to do a live off the floor recording by taking the Record Tape Out on a powered mixer and plugging the 2 stereo ouputs (a Y cable) into the Line-in jack on a USB line/mic device (basically an external sound 16bit/44Khz card). The PC is a fast WinXP box with 1Gb of Ram using Audacity or Soundforge.

Does anyone know how to set up NI Bandstand for multiple outputs in SONAR 6 ? The Bandstand User Manual says that this is possible, using Bandstand as a DXi soft synth, but for the life of me I cannot work out how to do it.

hi, I'm very new to the world of recording. and as a summer hobby i have decided i want to set up a small studio for local bands to come cut there CD's.
