Half-Fast Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Hello all. I'm a song-writing guitarist who is used to tracking his songs with a mic. I'll long-loved video game music and wish to get into remixes, and some original, digital compositions. What software do you all recommend, and for what are they used? I'm use once I get my hands on the proper software and pointed in the right direction, with some time and patience I could learn to do pretty well. Thanks for any advice you can give Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any advice you can give any.......... try ableton tho. the time line is very good for live recording as well directly or with mic'd amp/cab it says ableton 7 cause the tutorial was made with it, but newer version 8 is no much diffrent. good luck!

Rozovian Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 For entry-level stuff - if you haven't done much sequencing and stuff, I'd recommend Mixcraft/GarageBand depending on your platform. Mixcraft is cheap and learning to use it means you'll know enough of how stuff works to handle almost any DAW. REAPER is also an option, since its demo is completely unrestricted. If you know that stuff already, and your focus is gonna be recording stuff, Cubase is a good option, tho all DAWs have audio editing and recording functionality. The more sequencing-oriented can work with FL Studio (tho again, all DAWs can do audio). On mac, there's Logic... and Cubase. There's a plethora of other software out there, and most of it can do most of the stuff one way or another. Just try demos and find something you're comfortable with.

DusK Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I do all my recording using FL Studio. Personal preference mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eilios Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Personal preference mostly. QFT. Unless you're using a phenomenally underdeveloped DAW, it really shouldn't matter what software you use for recording. Find something you like to use, and use that.

OverCoat Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 There are programs more suited to recording live audio than others. Give Reaper a try, since that's the cheapest option and it's also pretty decent software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
