Hello, I'm new to the forum. I admit that I'm simply an overwhelmed newbie with this whole recording thing.... Anyway, I've just been playing around a bit, trying to record some basic stuff on my computer to get a feel for the whole thing. What I've been doing is micing my amp and running that into my soundcard and recording with soundforge (version 4.5 I think). What I really wanted to do is record something, and then have that playing back while I play something else to mix with it. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this with soundforge. So if I try to record something else to mix with it my tempo is always a little bit off because I can't hear exactly what my other recording is doing. I've tried playing around with editing the length of one track or another (ie speed it up or slow it down to fit with the other) but it's always a little off. I am SURE there is an easier way to do this....isn't there? Maybe soundforge just can't do it. I also have Cakewalk express, but I couldn't even figure out how to get that to record from my mic input on the soundcard...it appears to be midi only. Is there...well I guess I'm just really overwhelmed....Any recommendations about what I can do to learn about this stuff at a beginner level? I don't have all that much money to spend, but I want to be able to make recordings for the fun of it. I looked into getting something like the Tascam porta 02 but I didn't know if I'd be able to play back a track while recording another on it...like I want to.
Sorry for the long post. And thanks for any help you can give me.
