thx man...glad you enjoyed.....im hoping to have an album out by end of summer....lol not realistic but imma try.
 
cool edit pro.....its pretty good for what i need it to do, has quite a wide array of features and effects

also im using a 1/4 to 1/8inch converter plugged direct into my soundcard in the back of an ancient comp....im upgrading my setup soon....any recommendations?
 
I love CEP.....

.....but do you know that it's now called Adobe Audition ?


An upgrade would be well worth your time !!!
 
ya i do know its adobe audition.....just say cool edit out of habit i guess. So im thinking of getting just a mixing board....nothing fancy prolly 12-16 channel mackey or yamaha. Lets say i wanted to record 4 tracks simultaneosly....would i be able to record them to seperate tracks using a mixing board? also would i use rca cables to connect a mixer into the back of my comp, or 1/4 inch....some have usb but i dont trust usb transfer speed not to lag. Others have firewire but are semi pricey. thanks in advance
 
Do yourself a favor and go right to the Firewire.

M-Audio has some really nice solutions.

I am 1 week away from buying this......http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/ProjectMixIO-main.html

Don't let the price scare you...... that is their most expensive control surface. You don't need to spend anywhere near that if you don't want to.

I beleive they have options a cost effective as $150.


M-Audio stuff is REALLY REALLY good, and easy to use.

another noobish question......if i got a firewire board would i need a soundcard with firewire capabilities, or just a firewire card?
 
No you don't need a sound card.....

The device you buy will act as the sound device to Adobe Audtion.


You would need a Firewire Card.

(My SoundBlaster Audigy happens to have a Firewire interface built in as a bonus, but....... just buy a $50 PCI firewire card....)

You don't need a drummer. Use sampled drums. Is easy to mix and you don't have to spend thousands of dollars in proper mics and a decent drum kit. I will recommend BFD or Drumkit drom Hell.
