What program do you use to record with?

Switchay · 05-24-2006, 04:11 PM

I'm trying to record with Windows SoundRecorder but it doesnt seem to be working. Thoughts?

bassistuvdoom731 · 05-24-2006, 04:13 PM

O god no. Never use SoundRecorder.

Get Audacity, its free. Or if your in a pirating mood, cubase, reason, and acid are good.

Audacity is good. If you can, find someone who has a program and pirate it. That's how I got Adobe Audition. lol.

Manticore Guy · 05-24-2006, 04:41 PM

Garage Band is good when you can figure out how to use it. Kinda annoying though.

wicked_child · 05-24-2006, 05:26 PM

i used sound recorder for years.

given me good results, you just have to be patient.

now, i use audacity and nero wave editor.

naut · 05-24-2006, 05:27 PM

i use Garage Band and Sound Studio.

Frank · 05-24-2006, 05:43 PM

Where can I find Audacity at? and what do I need to run my guitar to the computer, obviously some sort of adapter? Thanks for any help. I have been interested in recording myself for a while now.

well, for the most part. yes, it was developed by Mac, for Mac; but i believe if you buy Apple OS formatting software for your PC, it will run Garage Band. i think...

all you really need is a 1/4" to 1/8" input adapter

Make sure you get a stereo adaptor, not a mono one. Makes a big difference.

Frank · 05-24-2006, 08:08 PM

Where do I plug into once I get the adaptor?

Audacity is sufficient, if you've never used anything better. Beats the hell out of MS Sound Recorder, I'll give you that. But so would a dead mouse.

For recording at the moment I'm mainly using Wavelab, then sequencing in Reason. Technically there are loads of reasons why I really shouldn't, especially since I have working copies of Cubase, Logic, and Acid Pro. But I love Reason's synthesis and audio processing system, and it lets me use them to their full.

That's for home recording, for coursework and such I either use ProTools, or do it the good old fashioned way, with a reel of 2" tape, and not a computer in sight.

It really, really doesn't.

Bass is a mono instrument. A select few effects might have a stereo element, but for the most part a stereo adaptor won't make a single difference for you.

baggagebassman · 05-24-2006, 08:37 PM

I use Audacity due to its freeness and the fact that I don't do a whole lot of recording.

Cool Edit Pro 2, and Adobe Audition.
