We are going to be using this thread to gather suggestions and questions!
- What questions do you have on this topic?
- Any particular area you would like me to focus on?
Forum questions will be answered first!
Learn how to virtually duplicate yourself within a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and produce a duo recording single-handedly or with your socially distanced chamber music partner! Since chamber music has suffered greatly from current restrictions, ensembles worldwide suddenly were no longer able to publish any creative output. But with the magic of digital audio production, we will learn how to create a guitar duo "in the box"!

Great topic!
I was amazed and fascinated by the Virtual Guitar Orchestra project (200 classical guitarists) and have tried "duplicating" myself after the recording course.
I doubt I'll be attending live though - it works out to be 5am in Sydney - but I'll definitely watch later.
Any chance of finding out if anyone has tried some of the low latency services / applications for online practice sessions (JamKazam, Aloha et cetera)? It's not "recording" but a similar topic.

I started making duet recordings last fall and it is a lot of fun. Here are some of my examples.
In this recording I am working with a guitarist who lives in London. Chris recorded with a green screen and “transported” himself into my music room in St. Louis, MO, USA. We both recorded using iPhones. I transferred my video to Chris – he likes doing the final editing. He uses an editing package for his ipad.
I recorded this in January. I heard the piece in a virtual concert and the composer was kind enough to send me the score.
I have been doing my recordings with an iPhone and MV88+ microphone and then using the free software SHOTCUT (on my windows PC) for the final video.

Hi Martin
I hope you are feeling better soon.
I had a go at doing this last year (before I got my green screen). First attempt is attached the timing goes a bit astray. I was going to use a click track but there was some reason why I couldn't do it (I can't remember why). I had another attempt for a project last Christmas but there was a bit of tricky bit in the piece I was recording and I kept playing one section too fast and I ran out of time so I've put it aside until next Christmas. Would be fun to start it again now that I've reorganised my equipment and bought a green screen.
