Recording your own music?
I was just wondering if you guys know of a software or PC program that will alow you to edit and record music. I'm ol' skool. I am used to a 16 track system, but i heard that there are some stuff available out there that will allow you to edit and record sounds. Just some basic programs... nothing complicated.
I have a couple of buddies who wants to record some of their music (instruments and vocals) and have the capability of editing it. Thanks guys. I know that some of you college dudes gotta know.....  |

i've never used it, but i have heard good things:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ a friend of mine used Propellerhead Reason to make some pretty complicated songs, but it has a steep learning curve. Very expensive, but not if you know where to look (ahem, check torrents) There is another program I have used (not successfully) called FL Studio (also called Fruity Loops). More intended for techno and stuff, but you may be able to adapt it for your uses. |

If you're looking for something to use that's bare bones (like no effects proccessing other than the amp/heads/etc.) then you can get away with some ridiculously easy stuff. You don't need insanely expensive stuff like ProTools...although ProTools is great if you want to add things like effects after something's recorded. I'd recommend something like Cakewalk or even Cool Edit Pro. Cakewalk is just as easy to use as the name implies...Cool Edit is more of an editing tool but I'm pretty sure it can record as well. I've always used Cool Edit more as a tool to clean up sound and it's worked really well with all of the plugins.

sony sound forge is one of the easiest ones ive used. FL studio5 is kinda fun if you wana make beats and whatnot, and im pretty sure you can still record, or import recorded parts to mix over it.
