Please be more specific with your needs. That's like saying "I need a car, what kind of car should I get."

sorry

umm...i need a multi track recording program that will work on my pc thats fairly easy to use.

is that better? If not tell me how i could be more specific

:D

Thanks, that is a little better. There are alot of options. Here are some questions you could answer qualify more:

1) How much money do you want to spend?

2) What other gear do you have?

3) What interface/soundcard are you using?

4) What are the specs on your computer (processor, ram, etc.)?

These will help us get started.

Wes

1) 0 - £100

2) Nothing apart from a pc and my intstruments etc. I figured this would be the best thing to buy first.

3) :oops: a standard AC'97. Will I need to upgrade this aswell.

4) 512 RAM, AMD Athlon (1100 Mhz)

I hope this is Ok, tell me if i need to upgrade anything to get the recording program working. If i have missed something please say so.

Thanks for the help.

Hmm. All in due time. You will probably end up like the rest of us. Continuosly wishing for better stuff and never be happy with what you have. Be warned and turn away from this hobby at once!

Hmm. Still here?

Well, maybe you should start by wetting your feet with something simple. Here are a few to look at. Other people will probably add more to the list.

A free program for recording sound is Audacity.
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

A rather nice and not very expensive program is n-Track Studio
http://www.fasoft.com/

Another nice program (if you ask me, others might think differently) is Magix Audio Studio deLuxe. Get version 10 or later (things has changed to the better). Look at the Magix home page
http://www.magix.com/select.html

A very common program, available in many versions at different price levels is Cubase. Often when buying sound cards you may get a limited, but useful, version for free.

And on the list goes.

My suggestion is for you to start out by spending little but trying to gain a lot of knowledge. You have to learn about what you want to record, perhaps only external instruments, or also midi. All in all you have to find a bit more of your own way.

Good luck.

sorry, i forget to say i have the following programs already:

- Audacity
- Fruity Loops Studio 4
- WaveLab Lite
- Sibelius
- Acid Pro
- Sound Forge 6.0
- Cubase SX
- SayIt

You have all those programs already and your still asking:

"I was wondering what the best recording program is to get.

I have to think that one of your friends hit you up with one of those CD-R's with a bunch of warez on them. You probably couldnt or tried to install them but got extrememly confused or couldnt get them to work. So why dont you just ask Mr Warez to help you use one of them?

Delete all your cracked versions and buy a copy of [[url=http://[/URL]="http://www.mackie.c…"]Tracktion[/]="http://www.mackie.c…"]Tracktion[/]

I can't believe you included SayIt in that list, thats classic :lol:

Dude, if you can't put something decent together or even decide what program to buy from all of the pirated stuff you have, it's time to pack it in. Go to a school, learn a program, buy the educational version for half the street price of the full license. Then when you've saved up for the full version buy the upgrade. Bottom line is: you can't buy knowledge. It's acquired with time and experience. That means a ten month course to some and years of trial and error to most.

Stop Pirating! If you must download then try krystal. Its free its decent and its a lot like cubase which is what I'd recommend once you get some money and are serious.
