Microstudio 4.004 does support recording a Mic In and mixing it internally (within MS) with the playing music. You can click the SAVE AS button to save the file as a .wav file, which is what is needed to write a quality CD. We may add WMA compression later, but it's not there now.
We are adding the same RECORD function into Hoster 4.0 right now. It will have an added feature to select
INTERNAL MIX (you give us the Mic signal only and we mix with the music - on-screen volume controls) or
EXTERNAL MIX (you give us the output of your mixer with mic+music and we don't mix, only record to a .wav file).
Hoster is not expected to contain CD WRITING code. That is fully implemented in Microstudio now. Our goal is to allow you to record a singer while they perform, then with 1 button click (our goal) to add it to Microstudio and start burning their Audio CD.
We currently are trying to have the first release of Hoster 4.000 out before the end of December with this feature and Tempo Change (including the lyrics staying with the faster/slower audio).
There is the issue of copyright violation. We are expecting to display a warning message to you (the Host) if it is your song. If it is a song imported from the Singer's disc, we won't display this as they already own the disc (that is our assumption anyway). You can ignore the message or not... your choice, and your hide if you are caught. We're just toolmakers adding this requested feature to our software. If a method ever evolves where we can allow you to pay a royalty for the copied music, we'll acquire it so you can pay one per show, week, or whatever "the licensing means" requires.
