Hey

Is there anykind of software you can use to record songs without a portable studio or whatever? Once, at the beginning of my playing, I placed a $9.50 mic infront of my amp, but it really sucked, haha

Anyway, are there any downloadable programs to use? Will I need some kind of speciell port into my computer? Well, any help is welcomed!

the recording software I use is called Cool Edit Pro, which I believe is called Adobe Audition these days.

This is awesome, yet expensive software, so for a cheap, yet not as good alternative, I would recommend using DDClip

This song was recorded by me using a 10 watt practice amp plugged into a Soundblaster 16 using DDClip Free Version as the recording software.

I've recorded a number of songs with cool edit pro. I've found a few things about it "irky" so to say, but nothing that would effect the quality of the program. Course I started with soundforge and that's a good bit different so it took some getting used to.

I use Adobe Audition, formerly Cool Edit Pro. I have found this software to be the easiest to learn and is compatible with a great deal of other software out there. It allows the use of DirectX plugins for effects other than those that were installed with it. However, its cost can be prohibitive for some. A cheap, albeit less capable, alternative is Cakewalk's Guitar Tracks, which can be purchased for around $50.

Cool Edit Pro is available as shareware now. Simple to use. You'll need an adapter to plug into your soundcard.
