Sound Recorder Software (FREE)
Sound Recorder Software (FREE)
Anyone know a free sound recorder that I can download. Me and my friend are getting really good at our instruments, and it would be cool if I could record them (All I need to do is work on my singing, and get a drummer, and there we have a band!)
Anyway, the program that comes with Windows has a limit of 60 seconds. It would be cool if I could record crap for longer than a minute.

Made it about ten minutes after I got audacity. Tell me if it sounds good. (Hopefully not "crappy work" at least)

There is a cd bootable linux distro called Dyne:bolic
that contains everything you need to really get into media on your computer, its full of audio production programs, streaming tools, video tools, and tons more - all on a bootable cd. No install, take it out and reboot and you're back to windows. It is also Rastaware, which to me is pretty much as cool as it gets. Nuff respeck.
Mbox is good because of the focusrite pre's but don't limit yourself to a program because it's \"the standard\", try a few and pick what feels natural for you. Making music is about expressing yourself so make sure that's what you are doing, not fighting your gear. I recommend looking into Dyne:bolic just to get a flavor for what linux can really offer you as a producer, not as a suggestion. Jumping into linux is not for the impatient. I would suggest Acid 6 for multitrack recording and editing in windows, despite its price tag it is one incredible piece of software. Sonic Foundry (now owned by Sony) is the way to go for audio editing in my opinion, I have used Sound Forge since version 2.

Good... now the only thing that could screw this whole band idea is if I can't get good vocals...

I had a Squier Venus, by the way.
The recordings are pretty good, man. They could really use some compression, but other than that, not bad at all!
