The obvious problem with this approach is that you lose the immediacy of live radio, which is certainly undesirable. Also, sitting there pressing the "play" button over and over again can get a little boring.

You may be thinking, "if I'm pre-recording bits of my show, why not edit it all together in one go?" And indeed, this is possible. There are quite a few caveats though:

* This is very time-consuming.

* This is very time-consuming. You will need to record all the links, and then edit them together with the music, in advance.

* You will need legal copies of all the music you want to play - you '''cannot''' download songs from Show Planner.

If you don't have the technical skills to mix a multi-person show yourself, you could ask someone else to do it. A number of our presenters and technicians have the skills and equipment to do it - so for you it'd be as simple as joining a Zoom call.

One massive caveat though: many (if not all) of those people are '''extremely busy''' at the present time, with uni work, URY admin, and personal commitments. Don't count on this.

If you want to do this, ask around in #remote-broadcasting in Slack. '''Make sure you have this sorted at least a week before your show.''' Remember that ultimately your show is your responsibility, and we will not be held responsible if you can't find someone to mix it for you. For this reason, you should always have a back-up plan.

There are many different ways of doing this. We have [https://ury.org.uk/ceedox/engineering:documentation:voicemeeter_guide a guide] to one way, using Voicemeeter on Windows. If you're using macOS or Linux, there are certainly tools for that. If you prefer to do it in hardware, there are ways to do that too.

Remember, however, '''you do this at your own risk'''. While the Engineering and Computing teams will make an effort to support you, there are no guarantees and responsibility remains with you if your show goes wrong. For this reason, this should only be attempted if you know what you're doing and how to fix it without anyone from URY helping you.
