Multiple tracks, Skype, and other such frivolities.

At some point this summer I intend on recording a podcast/radio show with partner in grime Jody Neil Ruth. It's going to be new music and lots of idle banter.

I would like to be able to:

• Play Tunes
• Have Jody participate via Skype (or similar)
• Potentially have other guests join via Skype or similar
• Do live mixes
• Record Everything internally onto my laptop's hard disk.

I have random kit to accomplish this:

• Traktor S4
• TSP 2
• Ableton Live
• Multiple PCs (if needed)
• Multiple USB Headsets/Mics
• A crappy 3 channel Numark Mixer

I will worry about live broadcasting at a later date but would take any recommendations on that now.

So, whats the simplest, fool proof way to set this up?

no words of wisdom i'm afraid... but i just read your mate's new years eve blog entry... genius :D

If this goes according to plan we'll be the next big thing!

Sounds like a great idea. I'm sure with you and Jody doing this I'll need some adult diapers. That way I won't make a mess when I piss myself laughing. Both of you are funny as hell. I can't wait!

Would be potentially better to have Jody participate via something like Ventrillo which has a far lower impact on your connection as well as CPU, RAM, etc.

I'd worry about bandwidth with streaming and Skype. Doing it as a pre record as live would be easier but not as fun :)

Any suggestions on managing the various channels?
