thouston Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 If you've never recorded, but can operate a cassette deck, than one of the BOSS BR recorders would be great for you. They are easy to learn to operate, you'll spend more time recording, than trying to figure out how to record. The next question, is how much do you want to spend?

RoC1909 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 The BOSS BR recorders are quite nice. There are many types of 'computer' programs as well that will do what you want, though they can go from simple and easy to 'pain in the ***' and complicated. I have messed with Guitar Tracks, Ableton and Sony Acid. Myself, I can do the very basic with them but these programs are capable of doing some amazing things. Download some of the demos and see what you might like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download some of the demos and see what you might like.[/quote'] I don't recommend PC based recording software until I know if a person is knowledgeable on computers first. I sometimes use Reaper ($50/home use) and a Edirol UA-4FX. Reaper has loads of plugins, has a small memory footprint and is pretty easy to learn, if a person is familiar with recording terms and technique. I have over 200 songs on Soundclick, where I recorded lead guitar to backing tracks from another forum. Almost all the tracks were recorded on my BR-600, and some using Reaper.

[/quote'] I have Cubase 4 and it's great. It handles both analog and MIDI inputs and comes with a number of preset sounds for your keyboard trigger (or you can program them in) as well as effects (delay, reverb, etc.). The learning process is steep but well worth it in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolongermike@gibson Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Come Jan/Feb, Reality Records will be releasing an album I did as "Von Johin" which was done mostly here in my studio, though the initial tracks for most of it were done at a big studio in Nashville. We did the overdubs here. Hang tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieC Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I have an old TASCAM Pocketstudio 5, but I've moved on to recording with my PC. I use a Lexicon Lambda interface and Sony software -- just upgraded to ACID Pro 7 and Sound Forge 9 -- the learning curve is steep! I have a Line 6 PODxt and a bunch of stomp boxes and plug-ins. No mikes, so far all of my recording is direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Pup Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I have a couple of AKG mics I run through a Behringer Xenyx 802 Mixer into a Boss Micro BR Digital Recorder.

80LPC Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Old - but still useful Roland VS 1680 with FX card. The COSM guitar effects are absolutely dire, but the reverb and mastering EQ/compression are excellent. 2 free PC based systems worth trying are Audacity and Krystal. I had niggles with Audacity, but I've heard some very good results from others using it - many free plug - ins also available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
