This article offers a practical framework and an effective alternative technological solution for reimagining recording arts and music production through network audio technology during the pandemic. Network audio technology has become a crucial vehicle for music ensembles and bands to remotely rehearse, record, perform, and produce concerts and albums, which offer innovative opportunities to transcend geographical distance and deepen human connections between cultures and communities. By elaborating and analyzing detailed case studies in multichannel high-fidelity network audio recording, mixing, and postproduction using hardware-software configuration, Jacktrip, and Netty-McNetface as evidence, the authors prove the significance of network audio technology and provide effective solutions for musicians, composers, music educators, audio engineers, media artists, curators, and performing arts institutions to reimagine their future practices that lead to revolutionary institutional change during and beyond the pandemic.
