I'm new at all this and all I have that I know I can record on is
the basic sound recorder program that comes on Windows XP. Is there another program I should be using? Do I have to go buy it? Can I download it from the internet for free? I can't figure out how to get more than 60 sec of recording on sound recorder.

thanx,

John
 
Wellcome to the board...

This kinda question asked frequently here, why don't you take time to dig deeper in other thread...

This one perhaps...

How to get it ? you can try the demo's version before buy. Make sure you know what you need before buy. Download or online order.

PS Pirate ain't having no place here.

Once again, wellcome to the board. :D
 
check out these sites....

IW -

www.audiomelody.com ---> freeware audio programs

www.sonicspot.com ---> freeware, shareware & demo programs.

www.thepluginlist.com ----> plug-ins (effects and instruments) that you can use with audio programs - you can sort them so you only see the free ones!

Personally, I like Sonic Foundry's Vegas for audio recording, and Cakewalk / Sonar for audio + midi. But there are good, cheap alternatives everywhere.

Magix Music Studio 6 does 24 tracks of audio, 256 tracks of midi, supports plugins and VST, and I found it at Office Depot for $9.99 new in the box - version 7 just came out, so people are *dumping* version 6... I even found version 5 (16 tracks of audio) for $5.

good luck. keep your eyes and ears open.
 
All of the bigger software companies have demo versions of their programs (at their respective sites). ;)

Good program for getting your feet wet!:cool:

A post from the Powertracks forum about Majix Studio!

Hi Ron
I have spent some time earlier this year exploring budget music software - my current prime interest is Virtual Instruments. Although PT doesn't support this feature yet, the development of the realtime effects points the way.

There is a limit one can learn from Demo Software and in the end I opted for the cheapest version of Magix Studio 7, which had the best VSTi implementation. This Studio is actually two softwares cobbled together - a Midi Studio ( bought in from Logic) and an Audio Studio. Each can be operated separately and are joined
together via an Audio Studio command from the Midi Studio.

I don't intend to rabbit on - so to the crux - The Magix Support (based in Germany) only supports the Audio Studio, any comments re the Midi Studio is passed on (passed away?). They try manfully to answer such questions as why the programs do not work with SB Audigy Drivers (in the end I found that the program could piggyback on to an ASIO driver provided by a Demo of Cubase). Why the security measures required the CD to be resident in the CD Drive when loading the programs. Why the Midi studio doesn't recognise Banks 126 and 127 in the Patch Lists etc.

There is NO Forum for Majix Studio - thus you are on your own.

The cost in shekels is about the same as for PT, but the absence of a Forum such as PT costs a great deal more.
