Both Lo Fi Lazer sessions were recorded that way: http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/lo.fi.lazer When I use a computer based performance rig I use to set up a function to instantly record the main output, same concept as the H2/H4. The problem with recording a lot of sound sources already merged into a stream is that if certain frequencies were out of balance as you performed it may be difficult to fix that in the recording. But I must say that a lot of in depth editing of an orchestral stereo file actually is possible if you are using a software that lets your automate EQ. Takes a lot of time though. But actualy I use both methods for producing recorded music, I mean I also do close mik multi track recording. The backdraw is that you have to make a lot of mistakes first to acquire enough experience of where the process may lead you - and then you have to still keep your creative mind focused on your vision rather on what you are hearing as you are recording. This method definitely is boring and unsexy but it pays back in fidelity. Maybe better suited for composed music than for improvised. The two keys to succeed are to (1) do your homework and (2) keep the vision alive. Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se www.perboysen.com www.looproom.com internet music hub
