You are right jjjtttggg, Kristal really is pretty lacking. It's free and has good community support but I've switched to Cubase LE4, which was also free, and it was indeed a big upgrade. I'll have to look into Reaper sometime, though... I do hear a lot of good things about it. The OP is...

An Update Hi guys. Sadly I haven't had as much time to work on recording as I'd like, but I thought I'd update with my progress so far. I took the conventional advice and got an Audio Interface and some monitors. I settled on Cubase LE4 (came with something, I forget now) - I'm pretty happy...
