Abstract: An automated recording facility and method of recording may include a potable booth enclosing an interior space with an exterior shell. A processor may be enclosed within the booth and the processor may communicate with an audio recording system. A hard drive, an audio device and a system interface may all be connected to the processor and the system interface may receive selected input from a user to control the audio recording system. A user can enter the portable booth and select a musical work using the system interface. Then a user can record a first and second audio performance which can then be stored on a hard drive. Then the user can edit the first and second audio performances using the system interface and merge the first and second audio performances with the selected musical work using a track merging program stored on the hard drive. After completing the merger the user can transfer the merged audio performances onto a fixed medium and dispense the fixed medium.
