It takes some gear and a good amount of prep to learn how to stream, but you can do it. And you should. You have a strong voice that fits your work perfectly.

I didn't mean to confuse. I was trying to answer Danny's question about 'testing' original songs via live streams. My songs always start with an idea, a few lyrics, and some guitar chords. I can perform them that way, and I do, but it's not always how I want them to be debuted or heard.

As far as streaming goes, I've been doing that occasionally for a few years now, ever since Danny told me about SJ. I think I'll give FB Live a try soon. I tested my setup for that about two weeks ago.

As far as backing tracks go, at one time I started to build a repertoire of covers using BIAB. I had picked up a vocal harmony pedal and started practicing with it also, but in the end, that's just not me.
