New recording idea, a bit crazy

(1/9) > >>

lenny:
Well I was playing guitar while thinking about that plugin I found awhile back that was basically a drum machine (what ever happened to that anyway?) and I got this crazy idea.

I think somebody (I wish I could) should write a multi-track recording program for rockbox. You could have multiple channels for which you could either record to or simultaneously play back. You could only record to one channel at a time of course, but depending on how effecient the rockbox wav playing and recording routines are, theoretically could they be done simultaneously?

One more thing, humor me please. If I were to say that I wanted to learn how to program just so I could write this thing I'm dreaming up, what would I need to learn and how long would it take me to do learn so I could write this assuming I've got a good head on my shoulders? (the most complex I ever got language wise was php)

So, what does anybody think about my idea?

OtisFunkmeyer:
I think it's a great idea.  I even think it would be possible to get music editing software in there too. :)

MoAv:
You want one channel recording and one channel playback ? Instead of stereo playback/recording ?

I'm glad you like the idea too. what do you mean by music editing software exactly? what are you thinking?

um, no. I want a multitrack recorder. record a new track while simultaneously playing back multiple previously recorded new ones. Think of it as a very small mobile recording studio for musicians.

Anyway....

That's the thing I'm most curious about right now. Anybody have an answer to that?

XavierGr:
From what I understood he means:
1) Record something.
2) Play it back and record what you will play plus the playbacked file.

This way you will be able to add new "channels" to the recorded file.
(E.g You play guitar, then you want to add a second guitar, or vocals)

Seems interesting idea though I don't know if such thing si possible.
