Speaking of software...Audacity is great but REAPER is good too. Its has a free trial, but the beauty is that you can use it forever! The trial lets you use the whole program too it isn't limited at all. I have had better luck with it when it comes to connecting digital recorders/ mics than audacity. And Jack fe mentioned the Tascam Portastudio 4track above. That thing is amazing. You really gain an appreciation for all the music of the 50's and 60's that had only four tracks at the very most to work with. Also M-audio makes some pretty good stuff for getting mics/guitars into the computer for editing.
My band did an album using all of the above items + an old beat machine. The description and a link given below.
We piped the beat machine of an old Hammond Organ onto a TASCAM Portastudio 414mkII 4 track casette recorder, added some bass and acoustic guitar, put that on Ziggy's computer. Then using a M-Audio Fast Track Pro, we put the rest of the tracks into Reaper. Took about two weeks and several sleepless nights. Tell us what you think, hopefully it gives your life a halfway pleasant 31 minutes.

Haha - I just used an alesis four track mixer. It's got some weird sounds on it. Basically just put it through a laptop with a shitty mic. Recording the band stuff with it too.
I need to record more, but it's difficult because there's always people at my house and the walls are thin. I'm going to move out and get more productive. |
