I am new to digital recording and I know little about it but the basics. I plan on purchasing a BR-532, and I was wondering if someone could suggest some software for me for my computer. If I need any, what kind of software do I need? I have heard Cakewalk mentioned a lot. If Cakewalk, what kind? What would the benefits be?

John,
Welcome to the awesome world of home recording. I have the BR-8 and I run my songs into Cakewalk Homestudio 2002. I am VERY happy with all of the results I am getting.
If your interested, check out some tunes. I did them all with the set up I just described.

Good Luck.

P.S. What kind of recording are you planning on doing? Why not just get the BR-8? It has 4 more tracks.

Those sound great! How did you record the bass and drums? Did you use the Rhythm Guide on the BR-8? Did you use the bass simulator?
I plan on recording probably just a few tracks with guitar and vocals, and doing some experimentation with the Rhythm Guide and bass simulator. I am trying to keep costs down, staying with the BR-532, but I want to maximize its capabilities.

John,
Thanks for listening. I have a couple drum machines I use. I dont use the rhythm guide for any of my songs. I do however use the rhythm guide for a solid tempo for acoustic songs. But I dont use it in the final mixdown.
The bass simulater is really cool. I have used it before. But I own a bass guitar. So I just plug straight in to the BR-8. The guitar effects on the BR-8 are pretty sweet too. Dont just settle for pre sets. fool around a little and come up with your own sound.
I am sure you will have fun.

P.S. I am sure you will be back with more questions once you get it home. Have fun.
