using a yamaha audiogra with audacity , is it a good move?

[marvin2k]

Hi there,

I am using windows vista 32 bit with audacity 2.0.3.

I am trying to record electric bass guitar , electric guitar with effects pedals and keyboard .

I dont need to record all at once ,it will be just me inputting each track one at a time .

I was going to go with a yamaha audiogram , 3 or 6 .Is this a good choice ? will it work well with audacity ?

Please let me know what you think or if you have any better suggestions . Maybe there is a cheaper usb audio interface that I could use ?

thanks im not good with computers so somthing that works out of the box is what i am after

the audiogram should be fine. It looks to be the same as every other USB AI out there as far as connection and what not.

There will be software drivers to install first. After that, plug it in and select it from inside Audacity.

I'd recommend that once you've worked out the very basics of recording, you ditch Audacity. It's a useful program, but not really intended for multi-track recording. There are many better, cheap, options.

Audacity is really a stereo file editor with multi-tracks patched on.

Check out Reaper.

Thanks, what would you guys recommend instead of audacity ?Cubase AI6 came bundled with the audiogram , im having issues getting it to recognise the audiogram but would it be abetter option?im also using a program called lmms to make beats and then export them to audacity , i find it painful to use if anyone has a better suggestion ?
