ThePurified1	Date: July 29, 2006 @ 1:37 AM Guys, what recording software or equipment should i get to record stuff and put it on here? I'm lookiing for good prices too.

Second - Make sure your soundcard will be up to snuff, most on board sound is not sufficient for many tasks, if you don't have an ASIO driver for your card download Wunschel's ASIO4ALL driver. M-Audio, Echo, E-mu etc make decent pro-audio cards (among others) for around 100-150 bucks OK - Freeware - Kristal v1 or Audacity are freeware multi-track recorders (neither can do MIDI) but work OK. 75 bucks - N-Tracks (can do audio + midi), Acid XMC. 150 bucks - all do audio+midi : Cubase SE3, Samplitude SE, FruityLoops Studio, Cakewalk etc. 300 bucks - Cubase SL3, Samplitude Studio, Sonar 5 Studio, Acid Pro 6, Ableton Live, etc.

Opossum	Date: July 29, 2006 @ 3:29 AM Oh, one more you're bound to find useful: http://www.sf2midi.com/
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: July 29, 2006 @ 4:25 AM Wavelab costs nearly 600 bucks and is designed to be a mastering suite rather than a multitrack recorder, although you can multi track 8 tracks in the audio montage. It is a brilliant tool for mastering purposes though, dvd-authoring (v5 and 6) and red book CD burning. It is not designed for MIDI work or scoring etc unlike Cubase SX. Cubase is Steinberg's designed multi-track audio/midi recording, virtual instruments etc.
