What other gear do you have? It takes more than just an audio program to record quality sounds.

Sound Forge comes with a good manual and help files.

BUT - if you have a pirated version of Sound Forge, don't even bother asking for help here.

Sound Forge is a 2 track recorder with lots of effects. Think of this as a tape deck, only on the computer and it doesn't use hissy cassettes. It's great for recording sounds and then cutting them into loop-sized files which can then be used for Fruity Loops or Acid to make the a backing song.

The reverb and effects are pretty good too. Note that I have only a small amount of stuff to compare it to.

Sony just bought the company that makes this and I haven't looked at Sony's web site much at all. But there have to be tutorials on the web, just do a google search.

And just record some stuff and see what it does. You can see pretty quickly what all the effects really do when you record yourself talking into a mic, and then try all the effects on that sound!
