Music question

Post by **<LT>YosemiteSam[NL]** » July 18th, 2005, 3:46 pm

A friend of mine has an electric guitar and keyboard and was wondering if it's possible to record those instruments directly onto his pc. Does anybody of you know what kind of program/soundcard (or whatever) he needs, cause I don't have any idea ?

yes mate.. You need a piece of equiptment that comes with a program... It is called the Line 6 Riff Tracker.. costs about 279 american dollars... very nice piece of equiptment i use one myself next door.. saving up to by my own

... can digitally record music straight through the unit..

Ah ok, do you have a link to a site or something so I can see what he must look for in the stores.

I use "Audacity", just search that on google. It is a FREE multi track recording program, simple to use and easy to edit things afterwards. Small file to so give it a go.

If you want really advanced features, you would probably have to spend a bit of money, maybe on something listed above.

well ownia, that is a home recording program/ equiptment... made for a computer at home, but only has one input so you nca change from guitar to kb... just give this idea to your friend and then see what he wants to do

i've been using cakewalk guitar tracks pro 3 for awhile, its a 32 track guitar studio program..the effects on it are shit, i tried using a plugin called amplitube which sounds amazing, but i get a funny noise every few seconds when i try to use it

i also have a problem trying to join parts together. all i want to do is create 2 or 3 tracks, and make a track repeat itself with a fixed time between..can u do that with audacity? and what effects can u get?
