for years, i've used a boss br-8 to record myself and bands play. since it isn't 2003 anymore, i've decided to switch to computer-based recording software. I have an HP 6710 with an AMD quad-core processor, running windows 7 64-bit and 4GB ram.

i've tried the pro tools that comes with the M-audio Fast Track USB and it crashes when I try to play back what I've recorded.
i also tried this cakewalk UA-4FX,and the SONAR program was so incredibly greek to me that i returned it.

if you can help me out, this is what i REALLY want.
1. a recording program that is easy to use. i want to be able to have all the necessary items (volume, pan, eq) right there, not in a hidden window.
2. ability to record a section, then add more things BEFORE the recorded section.
3. ability to record guitar and vocals at the same time, when i get inspired to have memory of me sounding like an idiot.
4. ability to plug a guitar and/or a mic directly in and use plugins to alter the sounds/add effects.
5. ability to do the same with the M-Audio Oxygen 61.

now don't be afraid to just say, 'hey dickhead, you already HAVE pro tools. spend the time and figure it out and stop wasting mine.'

any ideas? feel free to email me at profwohead@gmail.com if you are taking personal offense to my claims of protools being silly. i just ask that you have a solution in mind instead of hate mail.

thank you in advance for any ideas/suggestions.
 
You should ask this in the Computer/Digital Audio forum...or the Recording forum...or the Newbies forum.

This is the Studio Building forum...acoustics, lumber, insulation...etc.

I wold recommend postin this in the appropriate forum, as this one is for the physical construction of studios. But anyways, I would take a look at reaper. It's free to try, and only 60 bucks whenever you feel guilty enough to buy it. It's a very easy and solid daw.

No offense to the original poster, but is there something misleading about "Studio Building & Display"??? There have been a number of threads started here lately that belong in totally different forum sections.
