Hi All,
I'm a complete newbie (1st post) so be gentle with me, and have literally just starting playing around with Audacity and am just about beginning to understand the basics. Are the paid for alternatives for home recording much better without spending a fortune and if so what are the advantages / extra functionality ie are they better for mixing and which ones are good at the lower end of the cost range ???
Also you often hear of drums referred to as "compressed" during the recording process which gives them a damper not so ringy sound as when they're played live. In Audacity under Effect and Compressor which brings up Dynamic Range Compressor, is that the tool people are referring to or do I need something seperate to that and again might some of the paid for alternatives do a better job ??????
Many thanks for your responses in advance !!!!!
