Lizzie B Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Hello, I have a programme of unsigned music. I am a musician and not particularly technical!!! I produce live, and pre-recorded shows. I am looking for a different software programme to produce my pre-recorded programmes. It would need to be pretty simple!! At the moment I am using Cool Edit Pro v 2.0 but I find it is missing the spontenaety of recording in real time. I wondered if you had any reccomendations, Idealy i would be looking for 'shareware' or similar. Cheers, for your time. Lizzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickSS Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I have seen many use Audacity, http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithd Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Lizzie, Cool Edit and it's update Adobe Audition are probably the best software packs you can get in the recording market. You can record live as well as edit in Cool Pro I use it for both all the time. I hope I am not repeating something you already know but put simply route your instruments and mics through a mixer, I use a 16 channel Behringer then take the master output from the mixer into the line in on your PC and record the output direcly into Cool Edit using the red record button at the bottom left. You can preset your levels and EQ at the mixer stage and of course adjust with Cool Edit. Depending how clever you are you can even record each component of the mix seperately and put them all together using the multi track mix facility in Cool Edit, up to a staggering 128 tracks!! Hope this helps. Keith D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickolasM. Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I have seen many use Audacity, http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ That is my best guess. I have used it many times never fails me gets the job done. Its free (from that link) and its good. No Viruses or Spyware attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie B Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Thankyou, both of you, I will check both options. Cheers, Lizzie:boonie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronsnet Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Adobe Audition costs a lot, although it has a lot of good features. We have been using Audacity for years now and have been quite happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpazzRadio Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I use MixCraft. It is not free, but it's not too expensive either. has multi track features, direct recording options and comes with a LOT of pre recorded loop tracks and sound effects.

Guest Baabaa Productions Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Hi I use both Cool Edit Pro and Audition 3.0. I think both are excellent. If you cant afford Audition 3.0 stick with CEP. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
