Timface Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 OK I really would like a program that would allow me to plug my bass into my PC record it, then use Vst plugins to get the right tone ect.. and if needed then plug a guitar in and put another track down? Suggestions? xxx Quote
urb Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 It's been a while since I used PC recording stuff but without wanting to sound totally ignorant I suggest you try getting hold of Cuebase - or a light version of Pro Tools if such a thing exists - sorry but I'm totally Mac based andf have been for some time - there must be some entry level recording software for PCs that doesn't break the bank right? Help! M Quote

G-77 Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 my band use [url="http://www.cockos.com/reaper/"]http://www.cockos.com/reaper/[/url] i don't get on with it to well,, but it still in beta for Mac. it free, / shareware will ask you to pay for a license, but will run with out it . Quote
metalmaniac Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 For that kind of stuff you wanna buy a mac min off the bay, and get garageband. for about 300 quid you can have an absolutely mint environment for recording. Or Audacity is good, if you willing to try Linux try Ardour. Quote
ironside1966 Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 (edited) I use Cubase SX3, but I have also used most of the big names in my time. Sonar INHO as the better plug-ins {EQ, s, Compressors) and is good value for money. If you only want to record a few tracks of audio and tweak it most sequences will do More important is the choice of sound card this effects the quality of the recording. And has a low latency (the delay in the time it takes to hear the note when played) Try the M-Audio Audiophile 96/24 that comes with FREE eton Live Lite [url="http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=products.bundled&ID=03958e3abee4f501c7f0690e4819e2ff"]http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=produc...7f0690e4819e2ff[/url] Or E-MU 0404 [url="http://www.emu.com/products/product.asp?category=505&subcategory=491&product=10447&nav=softwareBundle"]http://www.emu.com/products/product.asp?ca...=softwareBundle[/url] Better sound card as FREE Cubase Le Sonar Le Ableton Lite Le or Lite stand for a cut down version or less features but the audio quality is just the same. There are USB alternatives. Also remember that unless your bass is active you will need a DI Box or equivalent Edited February 24, 2008 by ironside1966 Quote

Peter[/quote] I use Audacity to, pretty good for a free bit of software and runs on a PC, Mac or Linux. worth a try before shelling out on something expensive like Cubase. R. Quote
