Software
Hi all, I know nothing about recording and would like to purchase some software to get started. Will someone offer up a little advice? I have plenty of computer gear I just don't know where to start. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Mike

Pro Tools Is the favorite. I use Adobe Audition v. 3 and love it!

Hi Mike. I've used Sonar for several years (PC based) and have had good results. I only use a small fraction of what the program will do - you might download a trial version of Sonar LE to see if you like it. (Manufacturer is Cakewalk). As important are the mics you use, the room you record in and the mood you are in when recording. Make sure you get a program that is very easy for you to use or you will be frustrated when you start the "red light on" process. Here's a little jazz exercise I did this AM on Sonar - converted twice - to wave first and then to mp3. No flatpicking content - I'm trying to master jazz and then move on to bluegrass! Good luck,
Cheers, Steve - Attachments:

Very nice! What guitar are you using? Sounds like a hollow body Gretch.

What is your budget? You can get started for $150 or less (you will need a basic audio interface) and you can try/use quite a lot of software for free. Is this PC or Mac? After that, you can spend as much on this stuff as most folks spend on a car or a house...

Check out Krystal Audio. It's a free download that you can surf for on the web. A little limited but pretty good for learning.

Steve, my office is across the street from Dusty Strings in Seattle and it turns out they have a D18GE in stock. I had not even noticed it but picked it up. The neck takes some getting used to (or probably for me the bigger adjustment is tied to a 1…

I like what you said about being able to afford a 20 Dollar Hygrometer... if you can spend 4 grand on a box.. and you can't spend the little bit of money on the…

Dedicated to those of us who are just getting started.
So what you are talking about here Jon, is not what I started the thread for( but it IS a nice aside!) You NEED to know what your humidity is at in your house were your axe lives. That is what the Hygrometer is for. There are all kinds of threads ev…
I've never had a gauge that I've used for any of my guitars, but what I have done which only costs a few dollars is to get a travel soap box and a sponge to use as a small humidifier that I keep in my case.
It's works really well and fits perfectly…
Really nice. Great to see someone slowing down and being tasty.
I have to admit I do like D'addarios, once I get my callouses back I may move up to ej17's
