Reaper is a very good multi track recording program. I use it myself. It has a unlimited free trial, and it rivals some of the most costly suites on features.
This is good info, Andy. Here's a tip that I learned when I was early in my drumming. If you want to record, but can't afford recording software or equipment right away, a USB Rock Band Mic and Audacity Software (can download for free) is a great starter that works. For obvious reasons, though, you will be limited in features and such, but they work well enough to get started.
Hi Andrew, I am very glad I came across your video it was full of essential information.
I have a question I am confused that which software is better specially for live music like rock n roll,heavy metal etc.logic pro or pro tools? Its because I use logic and i am more towards live music should I get pro tools or would it be fine to stick to logic your reply will be most appreciated.
@butt4242 Software doesn't make a difference. It's the usability. Your mic, acoustical arrangement, etc. are what's paramount. Get what's affordable to you. If you want to get what professional musicians are using mostly, go with Pro Tools. Cool Edit is what most radio stations to use to record their shows. It quick, simple, and a kid can understand it.
a man can you are ne 1 tell me what type of pc i need are what a computer would need for a good studio im looking to get cubase i dont need the best high priced stuff
i used to use audacity and i thought it was great! but get real guys, youll never get studio quality recordings from it, the DAW does affect sound... i then got pro tools 9 and it was sick!!!!! i would recommend it to anyone, i now have my own pro tools HD session in my room bt thats prolly outta the question for most of you guys, since a $10,000 recording software isnt in most peoples budget..
After using aincent Cabase VST 5 since i started using PCs i just got Pro-Tools M-Powered 8 and i would have to say it`s more suited to muso`s that arent also computer experts ! It seems like all the other DAWs i`ve tried required a Degree in IT(Or maybe im just dumb?)! There is so much less faffing about with menus,Submenus etc ! It`s just more kinda have an idea and get it down than anything else i`ve tried ! That`s me a Pro-Tools man for life i think !! Peace Ye`all !!
i want to make a home recording studio but i dont have any kinds of equipment the only things i have is the fl studios demo, virtual dj, and a casio keyboard i am thinking about buy a laptop just for music use only but i honestly dont know about which programs to use what midi does all the connections and if the laptop has an impact i have a budget of about $1500 but i plan on leavin to college in about 2 years so im saving my money as much as possible can some1 guide me abit?

@ProjectBerklee im thinking the same thing.. i think u need to get a usb interface or preamp or whatever u call it.. to plug the mic into and then plug that into ure usb... forgive me if im wrong.. i was planning on buying m audio fast track pro and an sm57 to mic up my amp.
@tysongettelTSP It would depend on what you wanted to record. If you just wanted to record vocals, guitar, etc, those sorts of things, then that'd be sufficient. The only thing you should consider is if you'd ever need more inputs than the two on the Duet, say if you wanted to record a drum kit, or something that requires more than two mics.
Awesome as always. I was wondering what you think about the M-audio Fasttrack Mk2. It comes with Pro Tools software. Please tell me what u think and if I do get this, would I still need a mixer and all the other stuff i.e. software, pair of stereos, microphones, etc.
you really forgot REAPER. you can download the demo version, it is NOT shrinked down functionwise and you can use it for no time period, in other words forever. but it is really better to buy it if you like it to the the developers justice. it costs about 60$ i think for a private licence. its really worth a look
@boggsty Reaper was not what it is now when this video was made. However yes Reaper is probably the best "Free" DAW around. The demo version never runs out and ir does not limit the features you can use.
heya i was wondering with all this microphoning. I have never been able to record a video with good sounding guitar and the live image of me playing. Can you please help me on how to record a video with good guitar sound!! thnx man
hey this video was great! very informative! its nice that u not only say what you need in a consistant order that was easy to follow and you actually go into detail and give a better discription to help people buy their own things. most other videos just say "buy this its great everything else sucks." so its nice that someone is realistic and understands budgets.
lol not in ontraio thairs not as far as i know lol and the sorce sucks balls lol i miss the days when the dollar store had all the cables and wires ya needed lol
anyone know anything about rcording in the pre-computer age? I mean I'm not like anti-computers die-hard old days kinda thing but I'm not the only person in the industry starting to think computers are killing music
I'll ask you as well. If you can tell me how to get effects on the voice (high pitch/low pitch), please tell me. I saw some other effects but you can't understand the lyrics when those are used. Thanks
I've been using Audacity, and I'd recommend it to anybody. I've stacked up to 20 tracks on top of each other (trying out for fun if I could turn myself into a little choir :) and it worked.
It might slow down once you reach too many tracks, but then you can convert your file into an mp3 and bring that mp3 back into a new Audacity file, basically condensing multiple tracks into one and starting to build up again from there... works really well.
@philipheubeck Yeah, I only use that for recording and editing samples, if I even attempted to make a song in that I would fucking get frustrated as fuck. Cubase, FL Studio. Those are my favorite.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I have done multi-track home recording for 20 yrs.
I started recording as I was learning how to play guitar, so for me its interesting to have audio documentation of my progress. I just started a You-Tube acct and I have begun posting my songs for fun and for posterity. If you have the opportunity please check-out my songs. I have always used hardware for recording and I am learning by trial and error to use DAW. Whats your recommendation video creation?
I 'll never recommend anything just because it's cheap. I'm so frustrated when i think of the time i wasted using cheap equipment that never help me achieve anything .
audacity is a great program for being free, you have built in effects and all that, and you DO have multi track recording, you can have as many tracks as you want i think, i've never tested how many you can have, but i've been up to 9 tracks.
im thinking of changing my room into a recording studio. but ive got £860 so far. And im not sure either i should buy my Roland Juno Gi. Or buy a cheap midi keyboard, and then get all the other hardware i need. ( speakers , etc..)
I Bought the ADS Tech Analog to Digital converter box, to go from my existing mixer, to my compueter. Really happy except for one thing. When I record in any software, I get a lot of noise ? Hum, or buzzing ? In the background. I used Audacity software has a feature to reduce noise, but I was wondering, if you had any other solutions to try.
Nothing in this video is incorrect; however there are other options. For example, rather than buying a mixer AND a cheap interface, perhaps consider interfaces like the M-Audio Fast Track USB/Pro/Ultra, or similar devices from other manufactures. The cheaper Fast Tracks would work out at a similar cost I think, but would probably give better results and would come with an ASIO driver.
im only 14 but still wanna record somes songs with my band. We obvioulsly hav a low budget do You think we could get the whole recording set for under 300 dollars 500 tops. Thanks,
audacity is multi track but your room dat u ar3 r3cording has to b3 sil3nt b3cuz it will catch any nois3 3v3n if u drop a pin whil3 u r3cording u can h3r it
I know there's a time limit, but I do think you could have gone a bit more into detail on some things. Like Adobe Audition, maybe talk about some of the features. Other than that, excellent video.
For the ASIO part you mentioned, i just want to note that ASIO4ALL is a wrapper driver. They are different stuffs. Its sort of a project made by few independent developers in order to bring all sound related driver into one. For example, if you have a USB mic, it lets you combine the input from your sound card with the USB mic. It basically lets you control the latency and buffer of everything in one simple driver. Very useful when you just can't get USB latency to be low.
n-track studio is a decent multitrack program, I've never tried to produce anything serious with it, but as a sketchpad for songwriting or making jam tracks it's great. I think it's still going for around $60 US as an instant download from the website. All the tracks your machine can handle and more effects than you should probably use.
I know i'm gonna get some criticism for saying this. But, Get a Mac. Why do I say this?? Well, besides discounting the mics, cables, and other things that go into a home studio. The Mac comes with iLife..which has Garageband..the most trouble-free way to go. iMovie, iWeb, iDVD, etc. all of these help further a musicians career. If you go into any film school, recording school, etc. all you see are Macs. Apple is a cornerstone of the entertainment industry. OS X is really superior to Windows.
I did and it was the biggest piece of SHIT ever! The hard disk crashed in 3 months! I lost everything! Got a replacement, that one's monitors' screen separated from the face of the frame. Got the monitor replaced and then my Mac GOT a VIRUS !!
Yes, I find out that OSX has more security loopholes than Windows XP.
Mac / Apple is a marketing success, not a technological one.
Now I have a Panasonic laptop with NOD 32 and Windows XPSP3. Runs 100%
A bad experience notwithstanding. Until recently Macs were the only serious consideration for professional or industrial work. Now PCs are fast and can also do the job. The fact is that the PC is designed and marketed to the consumer and the Mac is designed and marketed to the professional. Having said that, I have heard many fantastic projects recorded and mixed on a PC. The software determines the needed computer. The user determines the result. I am a Mac user BTW.
PCs have always had the most powerful hardware..but now you've got Macs with the same hardware as PCs..and still a lightweight OS compared to Windows. That is why you can get 7 hours of battery out of OS X and still only 3 1/2 hours out of Windows on the same machine. Core Audio is optimized for OS X..with very small buffers. Steinberg's ASIO is just a workaround for Direct Sound..you can get acceptable results from it...if you don't mind pushing the CPU...
absolute balderdash. PCs had nowhere near the pci bandwidth of a Mac. PCs are just catching up, but dont have anywhere near the same construction quality. You can probably excpect a lot of comment here. I am not trying to be passionate about his, but I have never hears such a claim. There is a reason Macs were once the only acceptable solution. All the pros didnt spen 3 times the cash cause they were duped by promo. Their big mistake is the Intel collaboration.
For example (and maybe this is the root of our disagreement) a 500 Mhz Mac was certainly outperforming a 1Ghz PC. This is because of the PCI bus being designed to pass information at a much higher rate. That is why, at the time only Macs were being used for pro audio and graphic applications. Windows is designed for consumers, OSX is designed for Professionals and students. Compatible with much less, but that much more certain to work on a given application.
Having said all of that. Nowadays it matters a lot less. You say Macs caught up to PCs, I say PCs have almost caught up to Macs... neither will make or break the recording, nor will the software. The most important factor in recording is the microphones. The computer is pretty much a storage device for all intents and purposes. Once your room is tuned and yout talent is assembled the microphne is the crucial choice;)
A $999 Macbook can outbenchmark 9 out of 10 PCs. ASIO is no substitute for Core Audio..ASIO was developed by Steinberg as a workaround to use VSTs in Real Time. Core Audio is a seamless system level way to handle audio. There is nothing comparable on the Windows side to the Audio MIDI Setup Utility in OS X. Apple Loops, Audio Units, Logic, Garageband...it's all Apple...every audio need you could possibly have is from one source...too many cooks spoil the soup.
I deffinately agree. But it seems like you are on both sides of the arguement here. Your first reply seemed to put you on the PC side of things (dispite your username;) But in any case, this discussion has less to do with the outcome of a given session (once things are up and running) than does the descisions made by the operator. The mics chosen and where they are placed, the performance selected as the take.
@garagebandjunkie I agree with you on the fact that Mac gives you the most easy setup you could possibly get. However, most VSTI's are still compatible with windows. This is an important aspect as alot of things are produced 100 percent digital.
I DON'T BELIVE YOU ANY WORD!you didnt buy a mac,you onlay think your cool wih your bad comments!MACs are the best you can get! i have a one,and i never got a virus,i never had disk problems,it runs like new for 4 years now! MAC is the ultimate recording,multimedia,sufring,writing,office,watching,editing,everything computer ever!
I am a bigtime Mac fan. I would never want to make music without it. They are built to a more industrial grade. Open a PC and open a Mac (without tools BTW) One will be full of large components and the other will be virtually empty with cheap wiring. But, choose PC or mac depending on your preferred software. Logic and Digital Performer ONLY work on Mac, Cubase and Sonar ONLY work on a PC. With a PC, have a Pro Audio dealer construct the system.
Nope...i'm suggesting that iLife, OS X which is the industry standard in media production...and all of it backed by Apple..the original and best personal computer that you can buy...is the reason to get a Mac!! Guess what sporto..I've never had to deal with latency issues..or poor performance with a Mac...it's cause a Mac is built for Music!!
I had a laptop with XP on it. Couldn't get music software to run on it with decent results. After some research, found out the graphics card was on the same IRQ bus as the audio card..the only way to fix it was by some major work..involving disabling hibernation, ACPI, etc. I got a Mac...opened the box..15 minutes later was amazed it was just like plugging into an amp..no noticeable latency..could run 16 track projects with small buffer sizes...never looked back since.
Yeah, i like the Adobe product. I use Audition 1.5, and I like the results. I like 3.0 more, but I don't have the cash to get it. If anyone wants to hear what the product is like, they can listen to some of my newer songs on my channel. the older ones were done on Audacity(which sucks balls!). I use a Blue Snowball USB mic I got for 100.00. It's what was used on the song Babalon Eyes.
I think Cool Edit Pro is very good. I have the 2.1 version and impresses me. It's great. Audacity sucks! Cakewalk is also good. I don't know about Steinberg Nuendo, anyone knows about it? It's a "light" version of Cubase.
Most of the CakeWalk programs are very nice and simple. I use CakeWalk Pro audio 9 and it works great for me. It also has many different filters and effects that can add some neat things to you tracks.
Audacity Sucks, if you want good software for a cheap price, that is rather simple check out the Mackie Traction 3 bundles. There is a lesser version for $50 and the ultimate bundle for $100. And it has everything, everything, you will need.
This has helped alot thank you and look out for a band called truthful lies it could just be me! Hoping to go into recording or be in a hit band! see you around youtube thanks again
Using CEP 2.1a for 6 years. Great. Mixer? What I do: Individual tracks(audio) at a time--I do the 1 man band thing. Just go right into my old PC's--WinME--1/8" jack for all. Mics direct. Elec gtr through a Zoom effects pedal, mostly same for Ac gtr. Now have Vista. Need to go USB. Looked at Pro Tools and Cubase. Heard that midi is much better with them. Cost more, but not that much for their low-end versions. Comments comparing those to AA3? Does it require an interface--dongle? Like M-Audio?
i use my v-amp2 wired directly to mu computer, i also wire my headphones into it, making it an monitor, i also use a free program called "record pad" and to edit it i use another program called "wawe pad"
I commony find myself using Ableton Live 8. It's really meant for ambient/techno/electronica/hip-hop type music as a majority of the plug-in modules and bundled instrument racks are geared towards that. But I still like it alot for rock music, very versatile and has some great mastering tools plus 64 total tracks.
Audacity is pretty good for recording. It's able to record multiple tracks and overall it's not as complicated as most other recording software. It's good quality, and best of all, it's free.
Recording mp3s requires installing a .dll is one caveat. If you're recording a podcast or some demos, try Audacity. It has a lot of high quality filters and effects, too.
I've just spent 10 min. on Google and all I'm reading about are the, "overdub - play other tracks while recording new one," selection. That sounds kind of weird.
Also, why would anyone want to record tracks as an MP3? An MP3 is 1/12th of an uncompressed audio file. Wouldn't you actually want a ".wav," or an ".aiff," on a Mac?
AFAIK you can only record multiple channels at one time, not multiple tracks. You can record stereo or even up to 16 channels at the same time, but they will all be put onto one track.
You're right, nobody records in mp3. But many people want to save as mp3, which you can do only with the .dll. Overdubs are really important for making songs even better.
Audacity sucks for anything but the simplest recording. Horrible effects. All sorts of limitations on moving around and and moving parts of the audio. Not for use in multi-track music audio.
on the hardware side a lot of the cards and interfaces are supported, even if the manufacturers don't say so on their websites, etc. i'm using an M-Audio interface with my laptop. the alsa-project(.org) has a complete list of supported hardware.
there's lots of software to record with. linux-sound(.org) gives a taste of some of the open-source audio projects out there. i use Ardour as my main tracking and mixing software, and it works like a dream :)
@creativeguitarstudio well actually i do have some experiences for linux and a linux user can use something called adour, though i moved back to windows because i notices linux held me back from full potentials in windows. in ardour it dosent even come with a eq you have to download packages, the setup is also difficult for a newbie. anyhow i was able to learn to record in ardour after a week of trial and error, though you can also use audacity in linux too.
I clearly recall Andrew saying in the video that he was only commenting on what he has worked on in the past. >
And, keep in mind that Linux is mainly really only used in; routers, servers, phone exchanges and cell phones coupled with the fact that the market share for Linux used on desktops was at 0.75% for Jan. 2009 put's Linux in the more or less irrelevant category.
Sorry heminder, but Linux is kind of a non-issue overall.
i must disagree here. purely because linux is used in servers and has a low statistic in market share does not make it any less useful in a studio. i think it's not used widely because most people have never heard of it or are unfamiliar with it. i think that a linux distribution can be an excellent recording tool (escpecially on a budget) because it's free (as in libre), ethical, stable, virus free, and not much more difficult to use than windows or macs, contrary to people thinking it's hard.
You are admittedly getting into an eria outside of my knowledge. My comment was a regurgitation of something I read somewhere (a reputable source) but not firsthand knowlege. I am getting in over my head:)
Umm, I think he didnt mention it because I dont think there is a single audio application that runs on Linux. Correct me if I am wrong there. But I think there are tons of tools available from DAWs to plug ins that are compatible one way, the other or both, but I have never seen a Linux logo an any major audio production tool, ever. So the linux user might be left out in the cold when it comes to the nicer platforms available, as it were.
the thing with getting a logo on something commercial is that the manufacturers are always on the side with companies with lots of money and legal advantages (patents, etc). open source software is community-driven, and as such there isn't really any large corporation behind it to slap a logo on others' products.
The logo isnt for promotion, it is to let you know which programs are compatible at a quick glance. No matter. If what you are doing works, then all the best brother:) I use the high end stuff (not to belittle whatever you are using) for commercial release and I just never heard of anyone using Linux in conjunction with a serious audio application. That is not to say its not so. I just never heard of it.
i know what you mean. but even with that little logo to show a product is "compatible", somebody somewhere down the line will have paid for it. stuff usually tends to work with linux. if not, someone will write open-source divers sooner or later, depending on the popularity of a device.
yeah, it is quite uncommon. though it's slowly become more and more accepted since i first started using it. some accept it for its ethics, and others for its performance.
I used to work there, about 7 years! LOL Did you know that Shure manufactures many of their mics? Specifically the Pro 3010 is basically an sm58. Having said that, everyone seems to be fixated on the software and computer as segnificant in the quality of audio. Nothing is more important than the microphone. (besides the talent assembled in front of it) The Mics and the room are everything. The monitors too. So avoid Radio Shack if you are serious. Get an sm57 at the very least.
i use reaper for music editing which you can download for free. even though they say its an evaluation version it still has all the features, limitless exports etc and there is a vst plug in you can download for free also that has loads of things in it like noisegates, compressors, advanced eq and effects aswell like reverb chorus etc i've used cubase before and i think that reaper is just as good as it and as a free download its stunning yet not many people seem to know about it :/
i'd like to think my comment on the last video may have spawned seventhbrokenstring's question... hah...
anyways- i've been using cool edit pro since about 2003 and i still use it to record today! i highly recommend finding it. you can definitely find such old software SUPER cheap or maybe even FREE.
I also emailed Andrew asking, "I wrote a song, what next?" And, the same as you, I mentioned that I used Cool Edit Pro.
I still use it. Best program out there... but I might try Adobe Audition. I heard it sucked (and Andrew just verified that 2.0 did) but maybe it's getting better with the 3.0 version. It's just hard to give up something familiar that works so well.
Audition 3.0 is definitely a few steps above Cool Edit Pro. Especially with the quality of ASIO. The recording and monitoring quality is quite superb. Adobe Audition 1.0 was just a repackaged Cool Edit Pro 2.1 and Audition 1.5 added pitch shifting, and is certainly an excellent all around program. Audition 2.0 is garbage, (it was the initial launch of ASIO however). In 3.0 all the bugs seem fixed and it actually won the Editor's Choice Award at the 2009 NAMM show.
I just Googled Radio Shack, and it looks like they're no longer in my Country (Canada). But they are in the U.S.A. and a whole whack of other countries world-wide!
VERY COOL!

you really forgot REAPER. you can download the demo version, it is NOT shrinked down functionwise and you can use it for no time period, in other words forever. but it is really better to buy it if you like it to the the developers justice. it costs about 60$ i think for a private licence. its really worth a look

I've been using Audacity, and I'd recommend it to anybody. I've stacked up to 20 tracks on top of each other (trying out for fun if I could turn myself into a little choir :) and it worked.
It might slow down once you reach too many tracks, but then you can convert your file into an mp3 and bring that mp3 back into a new Audacity file, basically condensing multiple tracks into one and starting to build up again from there... works really well.

Nothing in this video is incorrect; however there are other options. For example, rather than buying a mixer AND a cheap interface, perhaps consider interfaces like the M-Audio Fast Track USB/Pro/Ultra, or similar devices from other manufactures. The cheaper Fast Tracks would work out at a similar cost I think, but would probably give better results and would come with an ASIO driver.

For the ASIO part you mentioned, i just want to note that ASIO4ALL is a wrapper driver. They are different stuffs. Its sort of a project made by few independent developers in order to bring all sound related driver into one. For example, if you have a USB mic, it lets you combine the input from your sound card with the USB mic. It basically lets you control the latency and buffer of everything in one simple driver. Very useful when you just can't get USB latency to be low.

n-track studio is a decent multitrack program, I've never tried to produce anything serious with it, but as a sketchpad for songwriting or making jam tracks it's great.

I know i'm gonna get some criticism for saying this. But, Get a Mac. Why do I say this?? Well, besides discounting the mics, cables, and other things that go into a home studio. The Mac comes with iLife..which has Garageband..the most trouble-free way to go. iMovie, iWeb, iDVD, etc. all of these help further a musicians career. If you go into any film school, recording school, etc. all you see are Macs. Apple is a cornerstone of the entertainment industry. OS X is really superior to Windows.

@garagebandjunkie
A bad experience notwithstanding. Until recently Macs were the only serious consideration for professional or industrial work. Now PCs are fast and can also do the job. The fact is that the PC is designed and marketed to the consumer and the Mac is designed and marketed to the professional. Having said that, I have heard many fantastic projects recorded and mixed on a PC. The software determines the needed computer. The user determines the result. I am a Mac user BTW.
TheProgmagog 2 years ago
PCs have always had the most powerful hardware..but now you've got Macs with the same hardware as PCs..and still a lightweight OS compared to Windows. That is why you can get 7 hours of battery out of OS X and still only 3 1/2 hours out of Windows on the same machine. Core Audio is optimized for OS X..with very small buffers. Steinberg's ASIO is just a workaround for Direct Sound..you can get acceptable results from it...if you don't mind pushing the CPU...
garagebandjunkie 2 years ago
@garagebandjunkie
absolute balderdash. PCs had nowhere near the pci bandwidth of a Mac. PCs are just catching up, but dont have anywhere near the same construction quality. You can probably excpect a lot of comment here. I am not trying to be passionate about his, but I have never hears such a claim. There is a reason Macs were once the only acceptable solution. All the pros didnt spen 3 times the cash cause they were duped by promo. Their big mistake is the Intel collaboration.
TheProgmagog 2 years ago
@garagebandjunkie
For example (and maybe this is the root of our disagreement) a 500 Mhz Mac was certainly outperforming a 1Ghz PC. This is because of the PCI bus being designed to pass information at a much higher rate. That is why, at the time only Macs were being used for pro audio and graphic applications. Windows is designed for consumers, OSX is designed for Professionals and students. Compatible with much less, but that much more certain to work on a given application.
TheProgmagog 2 years ago
@garagebandjunkie
Having said all of that. Nowadays it matters a lot less. You say Macs caught up to PCs, I say PCs have almost caught up to Macs... neither will make or break the recording, nor will the software. The most important factor in recording is the microphones. The computer is pretty much a storage device for all intents and purposes. Once your room is tuned and yout talent is assembled the microphne is the crucial choice;)
TheProgmagog 2 years ago
A $999 Macbook can outbenchmark 9 out of 10 PCs. ASIO is no substitute for Core Audio..ASIO was developed by Steinberg as a workaround to use VSTs in Real Time. Core Audio is a seamless system level way to handle audio. There is nothing comparable on the Windows side to the Audio MIDI Setup Utility in OS X. Apple Loops, Audio Units, Logic, Garageband...it's all Apple...every audio need you could possibly have is from one source...too many cooks spoil the soup.

I deffinately agree. But it seems like you are on both sides of the arguement here. Your first reply seemed to put you on the PC side of things (dispite your username;) But in any case, this discussion has less to do with the outcome of a given session (once things are up and running) than does the descisions made by the operator. The mics chosen and where they are placed, the performance selected as the take.
TheProgmagog 2 years ago
@garagebandjunkie I agree with you on the fact that Mac gives you the most easy setup you could possibly get. However, most VSTI's are still compatible with windows. This is an important aspect as alot of things are produced 100 percent digital.

I am a bigtime Mac fan. I would never want to make music without it. They are built to a more industrial grade. Open a PC and open a Mac (without tools BTW) One will be full of large components and the other will be virtually empty with cheap wiring. But, choose PC or mac depending on your preferred software. Logic and Digital Performer ONLY work on Mac, Cubase and Sonar ONLY work on a PC. With a PC, have a Pro Audio dealer construct the system.

Audacity is pretty good for recording. It's able to record multiple tracks and overall it's not as complicated as most other recording software. It's good quality, and best of all, it's free.
Recording mp3s requires installing a .dll is one caveat. If you're recording a podcast or some demos, try Audacity. It has a lot of high quality filters and effects, too.
twocsies 2 years ago 2
How do you record multi-track in Audacity??
I've just spent 10 min. on Google and all I'm reading about are the, "overdub - play other tracks while recording new one," selection. That sounds kind of weird.
Also, why would anyone want to record tracks as an MP3? An MP3 is 1/12th of an uncompressed audio file. Wouldn't you actually want a ".wav," or an ".aiff," on a Mac?
boblawblaws604 2 years ago 3
AFAIK you can only record multiple channels at one time, not multiple tracks. You can record stereo or even up to 16 channels at the same time, but they will all be put onto one track.
You're right, nobody records in mp3. But many people want to save as mp3, which you can do only with the .dll. Overdubs are really important for making songs even better.

@creativeguitarstudio well actually i do have some experiences for linux and a linux user can use something called adour, though i moved back to windows because i notices linux held me back from full potentials in windows. in ardour it dosent even come with a eq you have to download packages, the setup is also difficult for a newbie. anyhow i was able to learn to record in ardour after a week of trial and error, though you can also use audacity in linux too.

I clearly recall Andrew saying in the video that he was only commenting on what he has worked on in the past. >
And, keep in mind that Linux is mainly really only used in; routers, servers, phone exchanges and cell phones coupled with the fact that the market share for Linux used on desktops was at 0.75% for Jan. 2009 put's Linux in the more or less irrelevant category.
Sorry heminder, but Linux is kind of a non-issue overall.
onlinetechreviews 2 years ago
i must disagree here. purely because linux is used in servers and has a low statistic in market share does not make it any less useful in a studio. i think it's not used widely because most people have never heard of it or are unfamiliar with it. i think that a linux distribution can be an excellent recording tool (escpecially on a budget) because it's free (as in libre), ethical, stable, virus free, and not much more difficult to use than windows or macs, contrary to people thinking it's hard.

Umm, I think he didnt mention it because I dont think there is a single audio application that runs on Linux. Correct me if I am wrong there. But I think there are tons of tools available from DAWs to plug ins that are compatible one way, the other or both, but I have never seen a Linux logo an any major audio production tool, ever. So the linux user might be left out in the cold when it comes to the nicer platforms available, as it were.
TheProgmagog 2 years ago
there's tons of audio apps for linux :P
the thing with getting a logo on something commercial is that the manufacturers are always on the side with companies with lots of money and legal advantages (patents, etc). open source software is community-driven, and as such there isn't really any large corporation behind it to slap a logo on others' products.
i certainly don't feel left in the cold :)
heminder 2 years ago
@heminder
The logo isnt for promotion, it is to let you know which programs are compatible at a quick glance. No matter. If what you are doing works, then all the best brother:) I use the high end stuff (not to belittle whatever you are using) for commercial release and I just never heard of anyone using Linux in conjunction with a serious audio application. That is not to say its not so. I just never heard of it.
TheProgmagog 2 years ago
i know what you mean. but even with that little logo to show a product is "compatible", somebody somewhere down the line will have paid for it. stuff usually tends to work with linux. if not, someone will write open-source divers sooner or later, depending on the popularity of a device.
yeah, it is quite uncommon. though it's slowly become more and more accepted since i first started using it. some accept it for its ethics, and others for its performance.

AgentsRecord 2 years ago
Hello AgentsRecord,
Audition 3.0 is definitely a few steps above Cool Edit Pro. Especially with the quality of ASIO. The recording and monitoring quality is quite superb. Adobe Audition 1.0 was just a repackaged Cool Edit Pro 2.1 and Audition 1.5 added pitch shifting, and is certainly an excellent all around program. Audition 2.0 is garbage, (it was the initial launch of ASIO however). In 3.0 all the bugs seem fixed and it actually won the Editor's Choice Award at the 2009 NAMM show.

Hi bigdawgandrewm,
I just Googled Radio Shack, and it looks like they're no longer in my Country (Canada). But they are in the U.S.A. and a whole whack of other countries world-wide!
