What is the best audio mixing program for me?-I'm looking for something simple and easy to use.?

Question

I just purchased a Fostex digital mixer from Guitar Center that has the option to export your tracks to the computer for further editing and mixing when it is necessary. I want to take advantage of this to get the best recordings possible but I'm hesitant to purchase any recording software, as I know these programs can be very expensive and complicated to say the least. When it comes to mixing and mixing programs, I'm a complete beginner so I'm trying to find a program that's simple and easy enough for me to use without spending hours figuring out the interface beforehand. I don't want anything over the top, just a decent program that lets me easily edit each individual track and do things like adjust the volume, clip and move parts of the tracks, and maybe add effects like distortion, delay, echo/reverb, etc. Pretty much just the basics. My mixer has some of these capabilities, but I'd like them available on my computer as well in case i don't think to use them until after the track has already been recorded. Can anyone recommend a good program for me? -Please don't forget that I'm a beginner with this, I'm not computer illiterate whatsoever, but when it comes to these kinds of programs, I tend to get a little lost in trying to figure out how they work. I appreciate any help that any of you can give me, thanks in advance. :)

Answer 2

I suggest Ableton's Live, it's simple but powerful. It's not as complete as Cubase or something similar, but it has an user interface (that you'll need to learn first) that's clearly aimed at quick recording and easy setups. There's always a box at the bottom that explains what a button will do when you roll over it, and it's still multi-track capable, you can add several effects AND there is a lite version to help you decide if it's worth buying. It works with most audio interfaces (for guitar), guitar rig, VSTs and other standard stuff. Check out Youtube's videos "ableton live guitar recording" to see how easy it is to loop guitars and "play with yourself" !



Good luck!

Abelton, FL Studio, Dance EJay, CuBase are the main nicely-typical classes. Cubase is greater professional and you additionally could make all forms of songs with it. for the classes like CuBase you will desire an excellent frustrating tension to place all the easy sounds in it and likewise you will desire a working laptop or pc with a sturdy sound card like resourceful Audigy 4 professional which they don't have it to any extent further or one in all X-FI fashions including resourceful Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite professional. additionally you like a Keyboard or an Org with midi or USB output. USB output is stated because of the fact it rather is quicker and it circulate the notice precise away, however the midi ones have a million or 2 2d delay. additionally you will desire an amplifier with a minimum of two audio equipment. 50 to 80 Watts RMS could paintings.
