Can you use Hoster to make CDG's

Dale,
If one takes a "rec out" or even an "aux send" from their mixer to the "mic or line" input of the computer, that should work, right?

Assuming the mics and "Hoster computer" outputs are sent to their respective channels in the mixer.

This will be something MTU will have to work out for the Hoster upgrade. I foresee possible slight delay problem if the record function is recording the music output from Hoster and the mic input run through the mixer. It would probably be best to set up the record function to record the mixer's combined music/microphones output (record out) through the line in input to the sound card.

I agree, let's see what they come up with, huh?

Ummm... its not as easy as you might think. So far, I'm not finished with spec'ing out how to add Record into Hoster. It is clear that professional Hosts have a mix console, and the Microphone plugs into it, and mixes with the music that is from Hoster (Computer audio output), and goes to the amps to the speaker.

We have to totally change everything for this type of wiring. We have a near perfect setup in Microstudio that would even allow recording the signal from your mix console's line out, or an effect send channel. Then, you can burn the .wav audio file to an Audio CD in Microstudio.

Another concern is how much processing power will Record and Burn Audio CD require in Hoster. We already have live key change, playing any format file (some require decompressing such as WMA, WMA+G, MP3, MP3+G, ZIP) which requires computer power. The last thing we will test is whether recording and burning in Hoster will write a bad CD Audio disc. If we can't solve that, we won't add it. Microstudio is a very nice adjunct to Hoster, and will work very well to record right now... today... your next show.
