I'd hesitate to build a recording rig out of a computer you share with 29 other people. If you're bent on it, try out NTrack studio. I think there's a free version, but I don't use it. What do you play?
Well,they don't all use it at once.It was a donation from BT the phone Company.You see I stay in a Hostel for homeless people,and us residents conjured up this computer project which gets used a lot for games emails and such.
I am one of the musical guys in the place,and when the whole kit and caboodle gets taken over by a bigger organisation later on this year,I am hoping to push for a second computer to start an co-operative music creation project.
Some hostels in Britain have got what they call " foyer" style projects going where they get shitloads of grants and such to help guys become D.J.s and suchlike.
As to what I play...well I started out on guitar a long time ago
playing folk music and such but kind of side-stepped it all to train in classical music .
I was into multi - tracking around the time of the old Akai 4000DS but it got as bit expensive and bouncing created lots of extraneous noise.
Now I have at least got a roof to live under,the realisation that digital recording has now arrived from clear over the horizon where it used to be dreamed about by us " tape - heads" has made me realise that I could risk putting some reasonably cool stuff together if I embrace this new realm of what is,in analogue terms pretty much magnificently breathtaking clarity that recorded sound can now achieve.
However,I am starting dead humble with what I have got and am gradually picking my way through a very technically top-heavy minefield of electronic considerations in getting started recording again.
I got trained quite well by an Oxford Doctor of Music,so I know some of the stuff about harmonies and composition and such and am O.K. for advice on the technical side of guitar fingerings and stuff,but I joined up with this forum to see if I can get the kind of advice that is going to get me past the four/eight track multitracking hurdles that priced me out of getting the kind of results I was going for back when.
