As a musician, audio engineer, and software engineer, this just blew my mind. I can't believe I've never heard of or thought of this until now. But my primary focus has been non-audio software through the pandemic, so I haven't been actively trying to find solutions to this. Thank you.
What applications would you recommend? Can it also do video, if not each link in the chain, at least one camera for the conductor (the node providing the metronome audio)? I realize the conductor would hear nobody at all, until playing back a recording from the end of the chain. Playback of said recording could begin after the song, or one measure into the song if there are no tempo/time changes (NINJAM style).

I can't remember off the top of my head what else worked that way.

- hunter2_ 6y agoNot-live overdubbing with perfect sync has been going on since the dawn of multi-track recording, although the popularity of including video from each layer (and DIY without a tracking engineer running the session) surged in popularity during the pandemic. With modern editing in a DAW, quantizing every phrase, word, or even syllable to the grid (or other layers) isn't difficult at all, just a bit tedious.
