Hi Hans Peter
The tracks that are recorded on one's own PC during the session are mixed tracks that include all the instruments/mics from an individual band member. So the use of those tracks relies on the band member having set a very good balance between their sources. In practice, people set a balance that is most helful to them while playing live, rather than the best balance for a band. For example, we have a band member whose session track consists of a mix of an accordion (which has in-built mics), a midi bass track driven from the bass keys on the accordion and a vocal mic. Using that as a single "track" in a DAW does not give any scope for making fine adjustments to the balance of those sources and does not, for example allow the application of different EQ to bass and vocals in the final DAW mix.
On the occasions when the JK app sucessfully uploads/downloads individual tracks, it replaces this mixed track with 3 separate tracks for accordion, midi bass and vocal mic tracks. I have got much better results in the final mix by using these separate tracks. As this approach gives a much better final mix, and is supported by the JK app sometimes, it would be great to know if there is a way to get it to work all the time.
Regards
Steve
