simple recording
We need to be able to record using our pc and a micro phone. We have
2 basic needs: 1. To be able to record auditions (for example a clarinet solo), to a digital file. 2. To be able to record several different tracks, (one for each instrument), from a group that practices together. The ultimate aim would be able to then create an mp3 file that could be e-mailed to the various audition reviewers. We don't need a big difficult to use professional mixing software program. Any suggestions? Thanks. |

om... 1. To be able to record auditions (for example a clarinet solo), to a digital file. You can use any one of several different free or inexpensive programs. You might have a look at Audacity to start with (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/). It will run on several different platforms and will easily do what you want. 2. To be able to record several different tracks, (one for each instrument), from a group that practices together. snip We don't need a big difficult to use professional mixing software program. Are you saying that you need to record multiple tracks at the same time? Or you simply need to bring in each person and record them? Kent |

Thanks. We tried Audacity. Downloaded and installed. It seems to
load and run OK, but can't get it to record any sound. Also downloaded the plug ins we were told were necessary, but one of the two could not be unzipped and I could not figure out what to do with the other. I am thinking I may just buy a program that has all that is needed with it along with a manual. |

I downloaded it, installed it, and went to File, Preferences, Audio I/O and selected the audio interface in my machine. First time I pressed the record button, appropriate squiggly lines showed up on the screen. I stopped it, rewound it, and played what I just recorded. Also downloaded the plug ins we were told were necessary, but one of the two could not be unzipped and I could not figure out what to do with the other. I didn't download anything but the basic program. What audio interface, what OS? I am thinking I may just buy a program that has all that is needed with it along with a manual. I'm mystified! |

Below is a copy and paste from the web site saying that you need to
download three items. All download separately and without trouble, but one of the two plug ins won't unpack, and there is no explanation of what to do or where to put the other plug in. Copied instructions: Be sure to download all three parts to the program: Audacity Program LAME MP3 Encoder Library (you must download this for Audacity to create MP3 files.) VST Enabler |
