The song Power Dam Drive here was created using a laptop with a standard sound card. I used Power Tracks Pro audio to record with the linein of the PC. The voice was recorded with a PC mic. This one was created to demo what we might do with the sone lyrics. Find it at http://www.mp3.com/grouptherapy
If anyone is interested, I can pass on an MP3 sample of what I've recorded using a laptop, PowerTracks Pro and a few instruments. This demonstrates(I hope) a reasonable quality multitrack recording using reasonable cost hardware/software. Instruments extra!
