In 'Preferences', is your interface recognised, and are you creating Stereo tracks..? That should do the trick; Audacity is minimalist but should do the job.

Here's my simple 'xls' file anyway, in case it helps someone... Running Time Set List1.xls

No dragging up or down with the simple list I'm doing right now. Just put a '1' in the 'To Be Included' column and it's all ready. I'll post it here in a few minutes, if you want..?

Excel will do what you describe easily enough, I'd say. Given a total list of all the songs, with a column to indicate that they be included or not in a filter, a total running time would be a simple 'Sum' of the individual time column. It sounds easy enough to me, at least. I can't think of any easier way to do it, nor specific 'set list' software.

What software are you using for recording..?

Fixed.

Does it matter..?

Amazon link to Kontact Cleaner ...

Reaper will do what you ask, and can be trialled for free for as long as you want, with no restrictions on functionality. It is not 'resource-hungry, and capable of handling that many inputs, once configured. It would cost you nothing to try it out.

Hmm... If that's what the 21st century has become, you are welcome to keep it. I'll stay in my World, thanks all the same. Good day to you.

It sounds simple, indeed, but I'm afraid that I'm even more 'simple'. I don't use/understand 'smartphones' (Too old..? Too dumb..? Too lazy..? Whatever...), so I'd be the one walking out if the ticket price didn't fit my budget. I don't 'haggle', nor price compare. Two questions are all I have, for myself. Do I want it..? If 'Yes': Can I afford it..? If 'Yes', buy. That's it. Simple..? Yup, that's me.

Beware your 35th birthday. ...

Very much more important to choose wisely the audio interface you'll be needing, if you're at all serious in your desire to record stuff. For a modest outlay (second-hand is fine, if guided in your choice...), the ease and quality of your recordings will be ample reward. Ask for advice if/when you go down that route, but you'll thank us all for it. As for Cakewalk v Reaper ... I tried Cakewalk a short while back, but I have already my way of thinking modelled on Reaper, and could get nowhere with it. I must admit to finding Reaper very easy to work with for simple things, which is what I do, but able to extend much, much further if required. Simple things are simple with pretty much any model software, I'd say, but not all are capable of more than that, once the initial 'honeymoon' is over.

It would appear that that train left the station quite some time back. ...

I was listening to a 'shoot-out' comparison of various renderings of this, whilst getting off to sleep last night, which inspired me to listen further this morning, so here it is...

There will be a 'learning curve' with any 'effective' DAW'; Reaper is no different. Many years ago I looked into the various offering for a Windows PC, and ended up choosing Reaper. I've looked since at later software, but have retained Reaper, as it does everything I need/want to do, for a price I'm able/willing to pay. Try it for free, ask any questions here or on the Cockos Reaper forum and decide for yourself. It's no harder or more difficult than any other, and 'makes sense' (to me, at least...) in the way it presents stuff. Hope this helps.

If one takes the definition of 'mediocrity' to mean 'average', then it's not really a surprise that most populations would be appealed to, to a greater or lesser degree. If one interprets it in a pejorative light, it takes on a different hue. Just a question of point of view, really. Is being 'average' bad..?

That's 21° F, in old money.

I bought a (very cheap...) guitar with my first brown wages envelope, mid '60s. Struggled with Mickey Baker chords, then bought a Hofner President guitar. The chords got a little easier. With a younger brother and some of his school mates, we played strange compositions and a few equally strange covers. The bottom strings of my Hofner became the bass, for lack of any other instrument. We played a few 'gigs' (a willing pub in Hounslow, a couple of church hall youth clubs...). It was the drumming from Fairport Convention (Martin Lamble, RIP...) that turned my attention to drums, and I never really looked back. I still play bass, and guitar, on and off, but basically I'm a drummer, and that was how it came to be.

Topics such as this will, every time, receive a tribute to the much-missed Sandy Denny ... As a bonus, it's drumming like this that inspired me to take up drums, with that sly, discreet 'killer' whip on the hi-hat. Not much to fault with the Fairports of this epoch.

At least expenses such as travel should be offered for such an event. Poor show. What animation will they get instead (or none at all..?)

Beethoven, Concerto n°4, Rondo for piano and orchestra. Kurt Masur (Chef d'orchestre), Hélène Grimaud (Piano), Orchestre Philharmonique De New York.

On the disk, there's a 'walk-up' at 2:55, and another at 3:05, neither of which are critical, and entirely 'ad lib' for this kind of song. The basic structure remains he same throughout; he's simply got a little bored of just the riff and is stretching his fingers a little. To be imitated, or not, but is of no real consequence either way. There's a clue in the title of the song. Hope this helps.

I never tire of Schubert's Ninth.
