[WattDeFalk]

can't believe these responses

[DualCampers]

[SmerfNTerf]

Well uncle Sam.. audacity probably does need us, but I think we can go with out ;)

[MissFireBox]

Audacity really dose blow could anyone post a decent beat maker up that is on the real free?

[G0ldenBr0thersMaf1a]

yeah thanks a lot ass fuck. audacity sucks granny tits.

[kingdibbs]

@G0ldenBr0thersMaf1a no shit man -.-

[Jpom22]

@G0ldenBr0thersMaf1a - audacity is great... as long as you're not on windows 7 - then it sucks granny ass AND tits.

[1175ghost]

That's what i been looking for. Thanks

[DoomScytheBand]

KAE is not free.

[sproescholdbell]

uh....the bar is even...OK...

[akhan51511]

audacity is best software .. i like it most

[CaptainCocaine]

Reaper is another awesome piece of DAW software. It's not technically free, although you can use it for free as long as the guilt doesn't get to you. But even if you choose to pay for it, which I advise you to do, it's only $60, which is an AMAZING price considering the functionality. It does about 90% of what Pro Tools does, and it does a bunch of stuff Pro Tools doesn't at 1/10th the cost. I actually use Audacity WITH Reaper, as the Audio editor, since Reaper is a non-destructive editor.

[truthamedia]

@CaptainCocaine which do you use as your general software and which do you use as editing. I am using reaper as my general software cuz i can do more with it and i want to use audacity as my editor but i dont know how to sync them up. help would be apprectiated

[CaptainCocaine]

@truthamedia Reaper is my main DAW and Audacity is my external editor. Go to Options>Preferences, then scroll down to the bottom of the list in the left pane, and select "External Editors". Then click Add, and Browse to the Audacity executable. Audacity is my only external editor, so I left the File Type and Secondary editor fields blank. Now when you right click on a waveform, you have the "Open items in editor" option.

[truthamedia]

@CaptainCocaine thank you I had done that before but it was on an older version so it wasn't working properly. i will see if it will work on 4.15

[100blockshawty]

IM TRYING 2 LEARN HOW 2 MAKE A MIXTAPE OR JUS RECORD MY SELF RAPPIN OVER OTHER PEOPLE BEATS IF U GOT ANY ANSWERS HIT ME UP

[mindless4eva1000]

@100blockshawty Hey..I think i can help u on that. Just download adicity and u can do all that, and then just save as Wav or Mp3 and u can export it anywhere

[BlackToysInk]

Audacity is really the best

[djrfyb1]

@BlackToysInk  Audacity is HORRIABLE. A free trail of Mixcraft 5 is better then the newer version of Audacity

[VanillaGorillaVlogs]

can you use audacity for music that you can legally put on youtube?

[Songwriter4God]

@VanillaGorillaVlogs Mucic you can legally put on youtube would be your own original stuff or something you have permission for. Which most artists really don't care about, just the record labels which want money. So, yes, you could use it for music you can put on Youtube. Which isn't actually what you're asking. But if you google you can find tricks to upload any song to Youtube.

[hto1971]

this is fucking dumb ok you cam mix so what will do when it comes to guitar nothing butt if if you stop being so cheep Cakewalk Guitar Tracks Pro 4 only 99.00 and you get guitar fx all in one program all you do is plug the guitar in clean it play the fx lmfao butt if you would like your recording to sound like shit than use the audacity

[hto1971]

o forgot the tv show Paranormal State use audacity talking about low budget films tv file making lmfao they prob ran by linux

[hto1971]

audacity lol you can take windows sound recorder get the same fx with stereo mixer or get fl demo you can steel save in floops with the beat in side can record into it and than with demo fl you can save all got to do is do a mix with other soft ware so you can putt on line cd or wht ever lol so you wrong fl studio beats audacity and it free demo use lol

[cameraperson]

Wow. That's a stupid and horrible video.

[hto1971]

@cameraperson lol i think your right

[ManUtd589]

You actually have the audacity to claim that this program is as good as GarageBand!

:-O

[hotheadgio]

audacity is fuckry



[TEXASMADExxxx]

AUDACITY SUCKS BALLZ..

[killbot4590]

There is one REASON you should eat FRUITY LOOPS for breakfast: LOGIC. But you'll need some PRO TOOLS to eat them in a MASSIVE nuclear REAKTOR or a TRAKTOR.

[XleegDubstep]

@killbot4590 you forgot cubase :(

[killbot4590]

@XleegDubstep I can't believe you would have the AUDACITY to challenge my statement. Your argument is a KOMPLETE lie. :D

[XleegDubstep]

@killbot4590 Hahaha ledgend, still forgot Cubase though :(

[killbot4590]

@XleegDubstep Do you use Cubase?

[XleegDubstep]

@killbot4590 Yeah :D

[killbot4590]

@XleegDubstep How do you like it?

[XleegDubstep]

@killbot4590 Its Amazing haha

[killbot4590]

@XleegDubstep Is it good for like making dubstep/electronic music and classical music?

[blindman182]

@killbot4590 Ableton and Reason is the best for dubstep ;)

[XleegDubstep]

@blindman182 Nah man Cubase is good for dubstep aswell :D i make dubstep :) as you can probably tell from the name haha

[blindman182]

@XleegDubstep i could tell :P i'll check out your channel. I use reason and ableton to make dubstep (my dubstep channel is /user/k0NV3X3d) you should try those. it's becoming used by big names like skrillex and zomboy

[XleegDubstep]

@blindman182 Aah yeah, you doing well mate :) but i chose cubase because Funtcase uses it, Its like reason but abit more simple, well, in my opinion, but everyone has there diffrent producing methods :) i find mixing and mastering easier on cubase but while the automation is pretty sick in cubase, reasons automation is just that bit better :)

[blindman182]

@XleegDubstep ill check it out when i get a chance. hopefully its easier :P reason is complicated even if you know how to use it >.>

[killbot4590]

@XleegDubstep I'm thinking about FL Studio, just because it's on sale, and I like the interface, but Cubase looks pretty sweet.

[XleegDubstep]

@killbot4590 Fl studio is good, its a really user freindly interface but it has bad automation, Cubase however has really good automation but its slightly confusing at first but once you get used to it, it gives a professional and crisper sound :) i have both but i would go with cubase :)

[XleegDubstep]

@killbot4590 Yeah man, i make dubstep :) although its all about what plugins you use :)

[sumthinlike]

........

[JerryTravis]

I have a question... Do any of the programs record multiple mics that are plugged directly into a laptop? Im cheap and i want to try a few Rock Band mics. If anyone can help, that would be amazing.

[MrKevinwoodruff]

Podium is a great new program from Zynewave on windows...very useful free version too! Liking it better than cubase or sonar!

[ZachMacc381]

ive found a program for $30 that does just as much and gives the same quality as PROTOOLS. hit me up ina private message for the link they gave me a 75% off coupon. ive been tryin for months tryin to get somethin free lol dont waste your time guys !! just trying to help.

[lilcee12]

@ZachMacc381 Hey thanks bro that really helped me alot:D Glad I found that before buying something expensive

[sumthinlike]

@ZachMacc381 I need that software

[cxc90]

@ZachMacc381 pro tools is bugged has hell :S try studio one or ableton live PC not mac ;)

[nrgshkl093]

@ZachMacc381 ever heard of The Pirate Bay? and btw you can install as many programs as you want but you need to spend time and effort on learning these stupid programs to get some music out of them...they are so friggin complicated and the learning curve is very steep

[johannes914]

@ZachMacc381 Yep ! its called Goldwave.

[hto1971]

@ZachMacc381 lol

[MichaelLoveGun]

@ZachMacc381 Hey man, what is that link you are talking about?

[gtrhero100]

Audacity is a free open source software which means that developers contribute their ideas to improve this software. They know it's not perfect and as with anything there is always going to be a better program somewhere and as the PC musician matures, he/she is always going to find the need for better, enhanced recording software. As for the beginner, Audicity is an excellent place to start. If you want software that sucks, go to NCH software.

[lessonman2k0]

helpful, thank you.

[hubertson93]

@Brandonrobocop The only person who's a f***ing retard here is you. How about getting your lazy arse up, earning some money and getting decent stuff instead of sponging free stuff from internet or downloading programs illegally?

[LamaraMarieGraham]

I broke my audacity, it does not evan have a reset or defaults button, ggrrrrrrr

[hubertson93]

Why do people keep patronizing Audacity?! It's soooo shit. Try Guitar Rig by Native Instruments. It is expensive but you get an amazing program full of amazing features + an actual pedal / DI box with it!

[Brandonrobocop]

@hubertson93 Well there you go retard, people get audacity cause it is free, ofcourse if you pay money for a recording program it will be better, thats a given.

[monkymonk6]

The version of Reaper .99 (the last freeware version) is an excellent choice for multitrack recording.

[1014perry]

Does anyone know where i can actually download logic pro and express from for free?

[FCFTrip]

Ive gotten excellent sound out of Mixcraft 5.2, using a ton of vst's, like Guitar Rig 5 pro, EZ Drums w/ metalheads add on and using Mixcraft's VIT's get awesome strings and sytnhs...have done a whole CD and alot of stuff for the school I work it, great program for the $75, lots of free vst's out there for vocals, guitar etc...extremist and guitar rig 5 pro being best!

[sideslick1024]

AHHHHHHH!!! I don't know what to think! 64 users each! Do I bash the reds? Do I bash the greens? I just don't know anymore!!!

[HeyItsRIOT]

Why does everyone insist on audacity... it actually sucks.

[cxc90]

@HeyItsRIOT like your mom did to my cock last night ;)

[blindman182]

@HeyItsRIOT its pretty much everything you need to record... nothing fancy about it. It looks like protools in my honest opinion (im ready for all the hate)

[hto1971]

@HeyItsRIOT lol you know it did you know that the tv show tv show Paranormal State use audacity talking about low budget lmfao like i said all ready linux prob runs the tv show lol

[1616corey]

@HeyItsRIOT hell ya it does

[TheGuyInUrCloset]

@HeyItsRIOT Just wondering, what do you find so wrong with it? Im not flaing or anything, but just wondering, because when it is used for the right tasks, I find it to be quite powerful actually (but as I said, that is only for the right tasks)

[driveinshowbunnik]

@HeyItsRIOT Yes, i thought it was good so i make a mix and now i can't save it? FML

[lastsiteliving]

@HeyItsRIOT

Tell me why.

[airstrx]

[rrrtbds12223]

these are the only free softwhare programs. unless you pirate them

[choppa939]

Fl studio all the way!

[TheBigPopcorn]

I went to the site for google guitar on there. v_v

[louistubemk]

you forgot FL studio

[nystedrulez21]

i use mixcraft. ehh, not bad software, it sounds 'meh' so thats my opinion.

[TheNashvillebassist]

Presonus Studio One Artist or Pro is my suggestion. I have artist and I am very pleased with it. cost about $350.00

[TheNashvillebassist]

Presonus Studio One Artist or Pro is my suggestion. I have artist and I am very pleased with it.

[artistdeterminedmsv]

freecorder 5. i

[C3DMuzik]

reaper



[loinman83]

Has anyone tried Samplitude 11.5? I'm having problems with tracks bleeding over when recording audio.

[jwootheboss]

thanks for the info but? with out internet is there a another way to down load the program on my tower like a flashdrive or CD.

[DJRoadkill18seven]

i think cool edit reigns supreme its not free but a little help from "peter quisgard" and his password and your good to go

[bubuavatar]

i see tha only 14y.o. retards disliking this video because they don't see any differences between the teams of professional who are rewarded for their work and several amateurs who developing for "GREAT THANKS DUDE! NICE PIECE OF WORK!"

[tugay332]

<3 Thank You vor Ever!!!!

[djzigify]

i have audicity.but it came with my pre amp...try mixcraft..i have created plenty industry records on there

[Lemon714bklyN]

Sony acid pro is pretty efing amazing-it does what cue base took me hours only a bout 5 years ago.drop in a loop and it auto syncs to your master tempo-and speeding it up dosent change the pitch-For electronic music its really an awesome tool. Could use some work on its midi functionality-when i lay down complex chord arrangements, it can stutter..def 81/2 0ut of 10

[Lemon714bklyN]

how bout using torrents and downloading and installing a more sophisticated, and enhanced recording program. And if you dont know what torrents are, than you dont deserve free anything

[Olivilivable]

I. WANT. REASON.

[TheRealDonald]

Audacity is good to learn how to use recording programs, but as you get more serious you need a upgrade. Does anyone know of any professional software. I dont care if its not free

[MusicRecordingSoftwa]

@TheRealDonald Try out ABLETON LIVE 

[guitarlegend32]

@MusicRecordingSoftwa Can you please help.I have just started using Audacity to record rock lead guitar onto some backing tracks(guns n roses etc)but am having serious problems when playing back the mixed recording.The volume level of my miked up amp through the alesis mixer is o.k through my earphones until I record a piece then play back the mixed piece and the guitar is so loud it's untrue.I can barely hear the backing track only my guitaring eventhough it sounded a good mix when recording.

[ANC180]

@TheRealDonald my guitar teacher is a major in sound mechanics as well as music theory, he uses pro tools,

THE BEST recordng software that is known to planet earth, but it costs money i think, and also i think you have to go to school for it.....but if you have done that then your good!

[NeoSin100]

@TheRealDonald try Cubase ;) it is the very BEST music recording software

[PERIZ99]

@TheRealDonald Thanks for the info; Do you know of a good Karaoke recording software- It's ok if it's not free..

Thanks !

[messinash]

@TheRealDonald MixCraft 5 is pretty good

[WANABGUITARIST221375]

@TheRealDonald Presonus Studio one!

[OfficialTyRaeMusic]

@TheRealDonald Adobe Audition CS5. Cubase 6, Pro Tools

[Bennythehubcap]

@TheRealDonald pro tools my band used it and loved it you gotta know what your doing though and have all the right shit

[LazyTutorials]

@TheRealDonald Cubase

[dustyroot]

@TheRealDonald I found Cakewalk/Sonar to have a lot of features and a fairly easy learning curve while being quite a bit less than Pro Tools

[eldonloco1]

@TheRealDonald If you want something professional then go with Pro Tools!!!

[F1xXxStYLeS]

@TheRealDonald  a great program to get is Presonus Studio One Pro

[rmnichols11]

@TheRealDonald Pro Tools is the top of the line recording software used in studios, it works great, has many plug ins and is very high quality but with that comes high cost.

[TheLightKit]

@TheRealDonald Fuck what anybody says, LT 10 studios producer edition is the BEST THEIR FUCKING IS. 200 bucks, or free if you make a contract with soundcloud or others. Or if you cant scrap up 200 bucks there is REAPER for 50. Or for a free program, kinda sucks, but Mu.Lab

[uVme1game]

@TheRealDonald REASON by the propellerheads, AMAZING !!

[unitebeatz]

@TheRealDonald PROTOOLS

[epcdave]

@TheRealDonald Reaper try it for free as long as you want.

[bybumzen]

@TheRealDonald Fl studio :)

[mojoj87]

@bybumzen Fl studio can record voice?

[bybumzen]

@mojoj87 Yes, with many options like auto tune, robot voice and so on. :)

[mojoj87]

@bybumzen even Fl studio 7? I haven't upgraded it

[bybumzen]

@mojoj87 Yh, I'm pretty sure, u just need some plugins to do it real fancy. there is tons of videos on youtube that shows how to do it, and I'm sure there is video swell showing how to upgrade it :)

[mojoj87]

@bybumzen using asio4all? thank you :)

[bybumzen]

@mojoj87 Yes, u can use asio4all aswell, just choice it as your adio driver settings.

[TalianLuv]

@TheRealDonald You need reason and cubase

[Smurf431]

Reaper, Cubase, Samplitude, in that order....:cool:

[josbael]

@TheRealDonald

try ProTools or Logic

[KillswitchEngage4eva]

@TheRealDonald REAPER LOGIC PRO 9 SONAR stuff like that NOT FREE THOUGH

[STEAMWORKER]

[SultanaKidStudios]

@TheRealDonald fl, cubase, logic, ableton, never use4d reason but its ment to be goood

[lileza100]

@TheRealDonald protool

[JDMb18hatch]

@TheRealDonald

Adobe Audition its really user friendly and a really nice DAW and if you ask me its better them Pro Tools, and for the ones who dont know this Pro Tools was actually a knock off of Cool Edit Pro witch is the old version of Adobe Audition

good Luck

[MegaThangal]

@TheRealDonald Stainberg Cubase

[szalagitaros]

@TheRealDonald NUENDO from STEINBERG :D

[TheLynxie]

Audacity it amazing, and I work professionally, I don't use it to make music, I don't use it to make works of art. No. I use it to record off my mixers, and instruments as loops, or samples. I also use it to record samples from the internet.. If you want something to produce music for free..... LMMS.

Look people, it's free so it's not good? No, it' free and OPEN SOURCE. Go look for plug-ins you ninnies!

[xSCFRxFPSPLASMA]

i need sometihn that produces music not record it

[BlueLightGravity]

yeah i Agree Audacity Realy Sucks ! Y u r not Using Adobe Soundbooth or Adobe Audition they are realy Pro. FTW :)

[TheLtlpxru]

nuendo 5 and cubase is the best!!!!

[meryll0905]

I cant say it is best in recording, but i can say, it is best in editing audio. :)

[XdrummerXboy]

You can't say Audacity sucks. It's perfect for quick edits you need for school projects, and some slightly higher-level stuff. Plus, IT'S FREE. No one is making you spend money on it, so quit your complaining.

[nuclearlung]

this is a great program to make references.. its common sense, you don't want to be limited then you have to spend money for it. music production is expensive+plug ins etc..

[KdynamyteBaby]

Audacity was good but while I was recording half way through it would stop working. I wouldn't recommend it...

[mojostudio]

this video is terrible

[SmartAlecz]

guys if the owner of a howto video's name sounds like a product, its either a scam or a waste of time

[JOSHWF2]

Audacity can work a treat, if you know it back to front and mix the audio down for the best possible sound quality :)

[MadiMe123]

Yogscast uses audacity... They use stuff that sucks? *tear*

[Markaveli95]

Cool Edit Pro 2.0 is awesome and good!

[reantkent]

can anyone tell me where i can download pro tools 9 for free? i really need it badly :(

[VijSJAAA13]

audacity sucks!!! this sucks!!! then what the hell is good and worth recording with and is FREE?

[Shuki362]

adobe audition or mixcraft is better

[ggpucky85]

i just download this program with key and everything but it does look suck,wish mixcraft can get fix soon ^_^

[LILJOKER603]

protools vest



[kapone815]

Fl studio

[abielm123]

anyone tell me a free one that has electic guitar,bass,drums

[TheMarsLegend]

i have audacity its ok, but the audio comes in late, can anyone please please please tell how how to adjust sum so it can record on time...thanks

[MusicRecordingSoftwa]

@TheMarsLegend this latency is caused by your audio card. You need to upgrade it to better one if you want to decrease the latency. You can purchase such audio cards for around 30-40 bucks
