Archive for the ‘music recording software’ Category

I’m looking to record my songs and i know that the Mac software is good but what about Windows. I use Windows XP on my computer. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

I would suggest FL Studio, if you are looking to buy. It is professional music software. You can record in with midi and many other things.

the barebones is $50 while the best version is $300

hey just wondering what is a good cheap recording software for music, and also i want to add my amplifier to the tracks, so what do i need to buy to plug y amp into the computer to get the amp sound, and also what program would have drum loops aswell, thanks!

If you have an AUX Output on your amplifier for an External speaker system, then you run a chord from that to a Line In jack on your audio/digital USB computer interface and you can record directly from your amplifier. That is the best idea to get a clean sound. The alternative is to place a good studio quality directional mic in front of the amplifier between the center and the edge of the speaker.

You might be wondering what an audio/digital USB computer interface is. Your computer did not come with one. Generally that is something you purchase to go with your recording software or DAW (digital audio workstation). There are many different kinds of DAWs on the market. Some of them (like Audacity) are even free. I don’t know what your goal is for your music but, if you are serious about writing and recording your own music and you intend to sell it on Amazon.com, iTunes, CD Baby, or Tunecore, then you need to produce broadcast quality music which you can then also get local radio stations to play for you. In that case, there is only one DAW you should consider and it comes with lots of drum tracks and other loops and sounds and it even comes with it’s own audio.digital USB computer interface with a built in music quality sound card. The sound card in your computer was not intended for recording music. That DAW is also the industry standard software for recording and the vast majority of music that you hear on the radio or through the internet was recorded using this software. That software is Pro Tools. When you compare it with the best recording software products out there is seems very reasonably priced. http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Digidesign-Mbox-2-Mini-Recording-Bundle?sku=702525 – This package deal even includes a studio monitor so you can listen to your recording through the Pro Tools interface, a very good studio quality microphone (I have this microphone, it’s great) and a mic stand and all the cables you need along with the Pro Tools LE software.

So, if you are serious about your music, I would not recommend anything else. Pro Tools! There really is no substitute!

Hi, I was wondering what is one of the best recording software’s to record rock music that i can get for free. We have 2 electric guitars 1 drummer 1 singer and 1 bassist, and i would like to record them seperatley. Could you please tell me what software I should download that i could get for free, thanks.

By the way i do need it for free cause we are not processionals

Try Audacity. I haven’t used it much, so I don’t know all the features, but it’s a great free audio program.

I’m looking for a really good music recording program for my computer…for metal blues and heavier stuff.

Pro Tools.

Here is a wonderful article on setting up a Pro Tools studio: http://www.audioneeds.com/forums/content.php?3-The-Startup-Studio

Also, you should seriously consider joining a community like http://www.audioneeds.com – it’s a great forum filled with sound engineers that are always asking and answering questions and discussing techniques in mixing and recording. I think it’ll help you a lot since you are interested in recording so much.

I currently have Audacity just because it is free, but I would like something that you could put MIDI drums in. I used Pro Tools 7 or 8 in a class at school and I was very pleased with it, however when I got home, I realized that it cost a little too much for me. So what I’m looking for is, in a way, a cheaper version of Pro Tools (something I can record live guitar and bass on and add MIDI drums). Thank you!

To expand on what h2_sut_lover lover said, not too long ago Pro Tools realeased 3 new ’starter’ versions. There’s Pro Tools Essentials which comes with an interface, Pro Tools Key Studio that comes with a 49 key keyboard, and Pro Tools Vocal Studio that comes with a Mic. If you like Pro Tools I would look into Essentials. It will give you the interface you need to record guitar/bass, as well as allow you to make MIDI within Pro Tools. Its not quite as beefy as LE/M-Powered (Only 16 tracks) but it’ll be good if you’re on a budget and just starting out.

Hope this provides some insight,

I am looking to record guitar/vocals, recording in loops would be desirable. Also for Windows Vista.

I have Reason, and when I upload it online (myspace) it sounds horrible; even when I converted it through the software to the right compression for online playing it was really bad. I want a software that will sound good online..

I’ve been trying to record some songs I’ve written as well as some covers & I’ve used Audacity but I don’t think that it’s that good of a program. Does anyone have a better, free, downloadable program suggestion? & if that program has music making options, that’d be wonderful. Thanks [:

You can try http://www.mp3buzz.org
You can download straight from there or you can just listen to the music from there.

No need to download any programs, just download the mp3’s directly from the website!
Check out the video and how easy it is to use

ok well my band and myself are looking to do some home recording and we don’t have money to rent a studio so i need to know what kind of computer software for windows will let me recored single instruments and let me put them together with other instruments. thank you for your help

Protools is pretty much industry standard. As far as cost, it’s all going to depend on how many channels you want to record at a time. For rap/hip-hop an mbox2 mini would be perfect. It has a mic and an instrument input. That is all you will need if you are only recording one thing at a time. That will cost from $2-300 and comes with protools. I also saw a package deal for that as well as a mic, stand, monitors, and cable for $400 which is a killer deal. I believe that was on musiciansfriend.com. The prices will go up from there as you add channels. You may want 4 inputs, or 8. This will cost you more. But should be able to find a decent interface that comes with good software cheaper than the above prices. Those come with protools. The other Interfaces would come with different software. Not as good, but will do the job. The beefit of protools is that most studios in the country will have it. So later on down the road you can go to a professional to have it mixed or mastered without much of a hassle. I believe I’ve even seen a small interface at Best Buy that was fairly cheap, and would get you started. Don’t forget a mic. And when it comes to mics, the cheaper they are, the shittier they are. If you pay less than $100 don’t expect it to sound great.

I have Windows XP

The best free software would have to be stolen. (j/k) The next best that I have personally used is Krystal, followed by Audacity and then Reaper.
Krystal is simple, Audactiy has a bunch of stuff you can do with it and has a huge fanbase, and Reaper has probably the most features and is well supported by its author.
Audacity is the only truly free program. Krystal is free for non-commercial use only, and Reaper is fair-priced, meaning that if you like and use it a lot you should buy it for the $50 asking price.
