Look,
i'm not like alot of you guys. i have a job that occupies me most of the time, and i'm kind of a musician second as bad as that sounds. you know, i've got an acoustic guitar and i play for small gatherings of listeners and around camp fires and stuff.
anyway, i tried recording into my computer using a CDgrabber program that had a "line in function". i played into the microphone of a headset/microphone thingy i usually use to practice my german pronunciation, and poof! it came back to me ten times better than when i press 'record' on my buddy's little boom-box. neat!
so with this new discovery, i get a little creative.... i put the little mike between me and one of my speakers. i play the wave file i've just recorded through winamp, and i play and sing along while recording again. you get the jist. a real ping-pong jerry rig kind of deal.
but man did it get me addicted. i even made some half decent stuff from my perspective. so my curiosity is more than peeked. but i just can't dive in just yet. i need to baby-step this one.
so if i managed to multi-track like this with the meager tools i had, i know that there has got to be a free version of some kind of multitrack recorder and mixer. don't scoff. quality is of little issue for now. i'm just trying to build some momentum here. so where's the free stuff?
