Recording Shit - GoFuckYourself.com

What's the best way to input a guitar / bass guitar sound into your computer for mixing and shit? Right now I just have a mic next to my amp, which blows for quality.

Also, what software is good for recording a guitar, then recording a bass, then recording drums, then voice...and mixing them all together?

I ususlaly jsut lay down everythign onto ADAT then transfer to PC. But the software/optical card for that is 500$ alone so if your on a budget grab one of the soundblaster external cards.... tehy'll do what you want. You can track in somthing like acid and soundforge is the best for WAV editing. wish I could give more info but its pass out time./

Hey, I do all my recording on a PC. I have a recording studio here (both Mac and PC based). I prefer:

http://www.cubase.com/ is a link for info about Cubase, the software I use.

Also hardware-wise if you want it to sound pro you need an excellent sound card like the Layla (http://www.pcrecording.com/laylarev.htm)

If you want to go cheaper, the Duo is great (http://www.zzounds.com/love.music?p=p.MDODUO&f=2035).

Yeah what MarkTiarra said....... Cubase is cool. Used it a lot in the past. Great software. I play a lot of keys these days and have ended up using Sonar by cakewalk. I like the midi editing on that better than cubase. It all ends up in Pro Tools by time we are done though. For me guitars still sound best with a mic shoved right up to the speaker of a nice tube amp. I use a Tech 21 Samsamp preamp and a dbx compressor to record my bass directly to the sound card. No board at all. That works very well.

So far the best. Depends on your budget.

Speaking of recording and shit... Who has Cubase Sx 1.02 ? and can put it online for me ? Hit me up ...

I'm looking to go fairly low budget, so I think I'm going to go with the Audigy series of stuff. I already have a SB Audigy, would the Extigy going into my USB be good enough? Or should I go ahead and get the whole SB Audigy 2 package?
