I'm looking for software that will do something along the lines of the following.
I play a pitch on a keyboard that is connected to my computer via and audio in port.
The piece of software takes the pitch and recreates the pitch through a utility like simple synth or garage band or Ableton.

I need to record and "save" a voice over recording in this file format:

MUST be recorded in the following format;
8KHz, 8-bit, mono, A/mu-Law (*.wav) format.
If you right-click and view the properties of the file, the Summary tab will show “Audio format” CCITT u-Law.

Using a mic on the kick and an overhead, what are some general ways to use software compression?

It is going to be a typical modern rock/pop mix. I know everything is probably close mic'd and/or replaced with samples, but I only have access to this setup.

Ok. I have a small home studio and mostly make up songs comprising vocals, guitar, bass, drum machine and keyboard.

Hi
Any recommendations for the 'best' NR software and/or plugin ? Any votes for iZotope RX?

I am a guitar player, not a drummer. I don't own a drum set. However, the music I like to create usually needs custom drum tracks for accents and alternative rhythms.
There are tons of software drum machines around, however most are programmable using the beat grid. When I see that grid, all inspiration for recording is gone. Forget it. It always ends up sounding fake anyway.

Does anyone know of a good software tuner to use to tune an old RMI 368X ElectraPiano/Harpsichord?

Alright. I am selling my MOTU HD 192 because I am buying an electronic drum set and won't need near that many inputs- and also, i need money to afford the electric set with.

I need to buy a new interface with maybe 4 mic input preamps- maximum.

I contacted Mathis Nitschke to discuss the product and share my question about the price [as many have]. I would just like to know if anyone on this forum has tried even the demo version on any of your problem recordings?

I have a professional grade recording mic, and have tried to use Adobe Audition software. The truth of the matter is I'm just not versed in mixing enough to figure out complex software like that.
