Whats the best FREE software for recording ACOUSTIC GUITAR!?




Brandon Ta


I dont like audacity or mixcraft. i want something i can change the treble and bass on for the best acoustic guitar quality.


Answer
What do you expect for nothing?..
If you take the time to learn how to use it Audacity is the best free multi-track audio recording and editing app around.
It also has a very good graphic equalizer for cutting and boosting frequencies accessible via the "effect / equalization" menu.
The basic rule of thumb for recording is - "rubbish in = rubbish out".
If your microphone and recording technique are not up to scratch then no program, costing hundreds or nothing, will get a good result.
If you're not prepared to put in the time and effort then you're going nowhere.

How do i record music at home for acoustic guitar and vocals? Whats the best equipment and software?

Im in a band and we've made some songs. We don't want to pay hundreds of dollars to get them recorded.
What sort of equipment is best quality but at a cheap price?
And what software do we need? I have a PC with Vista.
And any other info for 'first time recorders' would be great!

Oh also..
How do you get your music/songs copy righted so no one can steal them?? and your band name too?

Again any information will help :)
IN ENGLISH PLEASE! not technical professional terms lol
Cheers!



Answer
You need a couple of microphones - 1 for guitar and 1 for vocals if you are going to record together, or you can multitrack and just use 1 microphone, recording one track/instrument at a time. - There are plenty of free software packages out there to record on these days to your computer (garageband etc) just yahoo/google: 'free recording software' and that will be a little bit of a learning curve if you have no experience with recording. If you want to be really cheap you can get cracked software using torrents ie: cuebase, logic etc but i am not advocating illegal downloading - It's your choice!

Secondly you will need a soundcard: the best cheaper types to use are USB or Firewire connected and have 2 microphone inputs and will convert your analogue signal to digital and digital to analogue called AD/DA conversion. Various brands include: Edirol (recommended for price), Roland, Motu (pricey and great), Apogee (expensive but awesome), Joe Meek ( highly recommended for price)

You will also need to add as much RAM as possible to your computer so that it copes with large transfer and manipulation of data!

I can go on for ages if you have more questions just ask!
