Hi guys 'n' gals,
I have watched videos on YouTube where members of 'a band' - each member located far away from each of the others, sometimes even other countries - all play their part of the same song, and the resulting videos are put together in a sort of multi-screen effect showing each participant but with the combined soundtracks making up the one song; a bit like just watching the whole band in the same room at the same time.
I'm sure this technique must have a technical name but it's way over my head.
Do any of you know anything about this? Is it difficult to do? Does each member need much equipment or software?
It just strikes me as a great fun thing to do, collaborating on a musical project and being able play and sing with your buddies when you can't physically get together easily.
