Good recording software

Hardware software

I think we all agree that usually the software that comes with the computer is not really up to the task of making a half decent recording. PCi cards are good but once again you are putting them in a noisy environment, many years ago I switched to standalone hardware, M Audio makes a lot of decent stuff for a reasonable price, also with outboard hardware you get more features like handy control of your headphone and other volumes and mixes. Myself I use the new Adobe Audition software and my son uses the Magix software because he deals a lot with samples, they are also a reasonable price.
 
Sorry, I lost track of this thread and didn't see your question VP.

The Delta 1010LT installs into a PCI slot in the back of your computer (assuming your computer has them---if not, then I'm not sure it will work). On my Dell Optiplex, it was pretty simple. Once it's installed, all of the connections hang out the back (but only a few inches).

I think I had to download an ASIO driver at some point. I used a free one (ASIO4ALL I think), and since then, I've not had any problems with Reaper (that is ... those that I didn't cause myself. :) )

Thanks, I think I do have some removable panels in the back of the new HP.

Yeah, truth be told I used reaper for a few months before buying it. This was back in the early days though when they were only charging 40-45 for it. Reaper is a solid buy IMO.

Yes, Reaper looks good. I think I will be getting the MAudio 1010. I am looking forward to using my computer with my TSR-8 I have in my computer room. What is cool is I can move 8 track tapes back and forth between my computer set up and my main studio, which is in another building.

Wow that looks sweet! I always debate buying a tape machine when I see a used one. I'd love to hear some clips!
 
I have a new HP h8 1210 which is probably very much like the OP. I just ordered a usb mic, so I guess I'm in for an ugly time, head scratching, and lots of frustrations in the future *sigh*
Nothin' is ever easy !!

Hi
I just got a new HP computer and it came with a simple recording program. The problem I have with it is on playback it adds a "Whining" sound to my music. What is available that sounds good and has options?

Thanks
