Also i hear alot of people mention "Audacity" What is it? is it that free downloadable software that lest you mess around with audio? And it gives you previews of a few seconds to listen to alterations of a mix?


Hi Mike...Audacity is free software for audio recording...it is one of the more often used programs but there are many...its low cost is appealing! grin...

That clicking sound is me hitting the Alesis sr-16 drum machine...it sounds more like a click track though....or for you since you have really good ears it is likely my pick hitting the strings...I also hit the guitar at the break into the chorus as a timing device...would maybe be better on an acoustic though...

I mic the amp cause thats what I've been told most people do with a home recording...here and other forums have said that but it does not give me the cleanest pro type sound I would like of course....

I have a Berhinger 802 Xenyx mix board that has a line in for the mic and another for an instrument but have not got it to work through the system...don't know how yet...it would be my guess recording thru the mix board would be best...

If anyone out there can instruct on how a PC and mix board works for that type of recording...please drop a hint....

Thanks Mike...let me know if you have some suggs.. smile
