And I'm curious, is there a way to do that within the app, or are you using an external thing like a CD player or your computer and then manually dialing up the volume and down the volume. So overall, mainly curious what techniques you all would recommend for that kind of post

But I know that some people have a program that enables their phone to become integrated into their laptop, and then they can kind of use an internal mixing board to kind of bring their voice and their second source of music into that. Live music is really easy, obviously, because if you're just playing something and it's just the actual featured thing, you use your phone as a microphone

What you are talking about is externally done. Swell does not have those capabilities at this time. So what a lot of people are doing. I can imagine that they're using their desktop computer and they record their swell on there. So they're using Audacity. I use an app called Reaper. There's a plethora of different apps out there that allow you to multitrack record. So they're using one track to record with their audio and another track to record with the music

It emulates essentially a lot of what the Roadcaster Pro does, but again, you would still need a microphone of some sort and a way to pipe whatever you record into your phone because you still have to hit record the way you would normally make a swell and then play what you recorded in that way or do it in real time, which that actually would probably work as long as you can get something into your phone

Here's a link for some more information about the Road Connect software and how it works

Hey, Dwayne and Average Joe, thank you for your insights. There's a missing product out there, I think which is something that is Journal to the phone that allows for a little mixer channel in the phone that somehow you can control while you're recording. And I don't know, I'm imagining something beautiful and e, easy and responsive to what we're all talking about. That doesn't require the PC. Interesting. My spinnings are wheels and my wheels are spinning
Hey, everyone, thank you so much for sharing your techniques for achieving this. It's neat to hear about the variety of techniques from just using just manually turning volume up and down to actually using your PC and having the hardware to hook it up and run the interface between apps like Roadcaster and Audacity, which I've had a little bit of experience with and the phone
