Greg B. Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 After seeing the thread about putting up tracks for everyone to play on, I asked a few questions, and A-String has given me a few suggestions about getting started. He suggested asking everyone about the best freeware multitracking program out there. I have Windows XP. He mentioned Pro Tools. Any others that would be good to look at? Thanks for the help.

stamplicker Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Sorry Greg, if I had scrolled through first, would have posted this here, but put it in the Hey Mods... thread. with the $1.00 upgrade.. (convertor plug) grab this... http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ free and easy, anyone can use it.. this one works well also... http://www.cockos.com/reaper/download.php haven't played with it much but looks simple enough all you have to do is plug into your "line in" on your sound card. open your volume properties and turn the "line in" level up. open the program and choose "line in" as your recording source... hit record and start strumming!!!! once done.. highlight the dead areas and delete. It also offers a number of effects you can muck with as well... with Audacity you can export the file as *.mp3, *.wav, etc... and you can also open any audio file type with it and edit and add to it as well.. really easy and addicting... from there if it doesn't offer enough you can move up to a more rounded program. but for quick and simple I'd recommend the Audacity MagicStomp Soundbites Soundclick Rambles Haunted Art
musicalhair Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 n Tracks from flavio antonio in Italy at fasoft.com seems to work very well for some people. When I tried it out along time ago on a not so great computer it didn't work for me, but I'm no computer wiz at all. It used to be free or shareware, but I think it is like a free demo for a certain period of time. Still, it is a lot cheaper than other programs and worth taking a look at if your willing to budge on the "free" thing. It is a lot cheaper than say Sonar. check out some comedy I've done: http://louhasspoken.tumblr.com/ My Unitarian Jihad Name: Brother Broadsword of Enlightened Compassion.
