Members Chrisjd Posted December 1, 2007 Members Share Posted December 1, 2007 Guys, I want to start recording stuff on my computer so that i can share it with you and be able to save some work. The ONLY guitar application I have for my PC right now is the Line 6 Guitar port thing, but that wont let me record anything... I have some guitar mics at the practice space, but no recording software. Is there anything cheap or even free that I could download that would allow me to start recording my guitar??? Please and Thank you...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheToneMan Posted December 1, 2007 Members Share Posted December 1, 2007 Thank you... I hope its not one of those programs that is overly-complicated for the average guitar player.... I dont know {censored} about sound boards etc.... at first sonar is kind of over complicated. if you want something easier that is just as good, get cakewalk guitar tracks pro 3.

Members bkd_guitarist Posted December 2, 2007 Members Share Posted December 2, 2007 +1 on Cakewalk Guitar Tracks Pro 3. It's very simple to learn, comes with a nice library of loops that you can use to build backing tracks, and you can buy it for a hundred bucks or less.

Members rushtallica Posted December 2, 2007 Members Share Posted December 2, 2007 Audacity is free, and I hear good things about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HackedByChinese! Posted December 2, 2007 Members Share Posted December 2, 2007 why will it be closed? Because HC doesn't allow the discussion of torrents or torrent sites. Get ProTools LE or something. None of the stuff in this thread is legit, and carries a bunch of risks with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheAmazingBlob Posted December 2, 2007 Members Share Posted December 2, 2007 Just get Audacity, it's free and legit... I know the pros will scoff at it, but it's easy to use and I've had good results. Everything on my band's Myspace was recorded with Audacity.

Members OverDriven Posted December 2, 2007 Members Share Posted December 2, 2007 You're gonna get tons of different opinions here. This is my rig for recording...it's cheap as far as recording rigs go: SM57XLR cableMic StandM-Audio Audiobuddy mic preamp (this think kicks for the money)M-Audio Audiophile 2496 sound card (also awesome for the money)Decent computer running Cubase SX3 with EZDrummer That's all you need man. I HIGHLY recommend learning Cubase...it's the standard unless you go with a full blown ProTools rig. It's also rock solid and easy to learn. You can make pro sounding recordings even with this minimal amount of gear if you hone your skills. BTW...if you can't spend money on Cubase, Reaper does look awesome and is said to be the best of the freebies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing I'd do is figure out what PC hardware you have, what program is gonna run best on it without so much lag you can't even play along without delay and then figure which app is most intuitive for you personally. I like my stuff near 4 track cassette simple but it's by no means limited. Post you PC's hardware specs ( CPU speed, RAM, free HD space, Soundcard, etc ) and I'll throw some suggestions at you. Also, how fancy do you want the program to be? What do you want it to be able to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dattebayo1 Posted December 2, 2007 Members Share Posted December 2, 2007 Audacity is free, and is in all honesty a fairly decent program, but Cakewalk is alot easier to use so i'd go for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW...if you can't spend money on Cubase, Reaper does look awesome and is said to be the best of the freebies. PT LE would easily beat Cubase SX3/LE/4 in the popularity battle but it really depends what you're going for. If you want to be able to work with many other people/studios (i.e. Record a track naked at your house then bring it to the studio etc.), be using to be said 'the standard' in DAW's (digital audio workstations) and be tied down to only a handful of audio interfaces, go PT LE. If you want incredible MIDI control, a huge verity of hardware configs as well as an extremely practical solution, go Cubase/nuendo. Then there is SAW studio, Amplitude, Sequoia, Sonar, etc. Undoubtedly the best 'free' DAW solution is Reaper, extreme control of what you're doing. Don't bother with audicy. All in all, the DAW vs. DAW argument is worn out and over with. Every DAW can literally do what any other can, all depends whose hands are at the control station. Or keyboard.

Members SlayerofShadows Posted December 2, 2007 Members Share Posted December 2, 2007 I'm currently using Sonar LE because it came free with my Samson C01U, but I'll put in another vote for Reaper. Much better than Audacity, IMO. Audacity is a lot simpler, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
