For those of you that record your music I was wondering what you use.

I use Adobe Audition 3.0
Run my PSR to my sound card MOTU
The into the software running win 7

I recently got Sonar 8.5 as well and after some time with it you need at least a 2 year degree in sonar courses just to figure it all out. What a pain.

I only upgraded to Sonar to get into the syth patches and what not.. I can't even get the midi to work..

Let me know your set up and help give me some more options

Thanks Guys

Beach, I keep it pretty simple.

I use the Audio to USB recorder in my S910, and then upload to my PC via flashdrive...and then burn to CD on my computer using Windows CD Burner XP.

Sonar, and PowerTracks

Thanks Donny, I'll check it out, it's cheap to... That's refreshing

Ian - That is very nice and simple... However, I'm good with audition for basic recording

Miden _ I really think to use Sonar you needed to use it from day one - when it first came out. Now, looks like doctorate is required to figure it all out


Keep'em coming I'd like to know how everyone approaches it!

Go over to www.pgmusic.com and have a look at Power Tracks...from memory its about $40 and it has full MIDI and AUDIO capacity as well as a suite of VST effects, and Real Drums...

I only really use Sonar when I have some serious audio work to do....Power Tracks is so easy to use and setup, its great for all the standard stuff.

As for Sonar, LOL, yeah I have been with it since Cakewalk 4.....It has certainly grown since then.

You must try Reaper.

It pretty much answered to my needs and more.

I use a ThinkPad with a creative labs USB souncard that has phono (RCA) in and out, headphone socket (for monitor) and digital. It does have a microphone input which i have never used. Its out of production now, but the behringer u-control are fine and very cheep on ebay but there is no headphone monitor.

Hi,
I'm really new at this.
I've got a new win7 laptop & soundcard.
Recently upgraded my Band in a Box. To be able to use the Real Track Audio styles included in BIAB.
I'll be using Real Band sequencer (included with BIAB) rather than my more familiar Powertracks sequencer.
Real Band allows me to incorporate Real Track audio tracks into a song ie if I have a midifile or a song created on my PA800 & I want to replace the midi guitar track with a Guitar Real Track , I can just "generate" the guitar track into the song remove the midi one. Same goes for drums & some othe instruments.

Also a great way of having additional styles. I can either use BIAB midi styles a mix of midi & real track styles, or just 100% Real Track styles to create songs.

Only reason I'm getting into recording is, I can't convert a Real Track style into a keyboard style, so rather than miss out, I'll be recording them as backing tracks.

best wishes
Rikki
