Recording sound?

[Marshalldude]

hey , I have audacity but do you guys know a better program that has better sound quality... Audacity is very simple and easy to use thougt. I do record with the lowest quality on audacity to send them to people .Thanks for sharing your opinion!

I've used Audacity and found it very capable for recording, especially for free software.

As a guitarist, I bought a copy of Rifftracker mostly for practicing on my own and getting ideas recorded. When I do recordings that I want to share, I use Cakewalk as it gives me more control over how the sound is mixed.

Audacity is a VERY powerful program. Send me a clip and ill tell ya whats going on with it.. I suspect it is because you are not using a speaker/amp simulator (which is a must with direct recording)

what's a speaker/amp simulator

Theres many of them.. the 2 most popular is a Line 6 POD and a Behringer V-Amp.

Or, you can do it with mic'ed cabinet. Which will give you the real sound, and not a simulated sound.

i believe its a virtual amp you can download from somewhere. where you can hook your guitar into the pc and play from there.

i have protracks, but just went a got
Acid software, just because it is so easy to toss some backing tracks together with it. you can downloas the free version which works the same but i am not sure if you can render it out to mp3 or anything like that.
