starving artist

does any one know of any decent recording programs for your computer that are free, (by decent i mean dont mess up your computer and take up too much space) ? i dont like spending money and i dont have it anyway. i dont care how simple it is as long as i can put multiple tracks on it. also what things would i need to get for this cheapo program if it exists (like micraphones, or other extra little things) ??

I use pro tracks and i hook up into a live drive...

It's pretty cheap and sounds good
U could just get the software and an adapter to hook into the computer mic spot.

well, u cud of just looked at the last 10 posts that are basically all about free programs. Look for audacity. its free and easy. As for mics, i just use a crappy comp mic and it sounds good.

Kristal all the way mate, solid as a tank, efficient, so simple to use it make think your note doing something you should, (no wait, there is something you
should do.....midi....kristal 2 covers that though so yeah kristal,

Its free too, get aload of free vst plugins (fx) and your sorted,

I advise Vexengo, and the Simulanalog ranges for guitar sims,
and the classic range for compression,verb, ect..

Glaceverb is good too!

Theres basically loads of free plugins to use, some of them extremely good,
i use some of the free ones above the ones cubase and other pay-for products,

Thrust me i know, my diet over the last month wouldnt feed a 9 year old,

So i am a starving musician.......lol..

Best of luck matey
