more recording stuff

I use Adobe Audition to for my recording. I used to play around with Goldwave with my brother. It works fine..... if you want to record your voice and speed it up so you sound like a baby..... We couldn't record multiple tracks with it. I downloaded an expansion for it that let me record multiple tracks, but it was nothing compared to Adobe Audition. Goldwave is afterall, freeware, and Adobe..... well it's Adobe. Adobe rocks. And Adobe Audition RAWKS! I haven't messed around much with the effects/editing tools. All I've done so far is change volumes of tracks, change the balance, and move clips around so all tracks are on beat with each other. But I know you can do crazy stuff like change the pitch of tracks, I just haven't taken the time to figure it out. Anyway, Audition is pretty straight forward. The interface is easy to understand and convenient.
Uncle Bill, I'm currently working on a song I wrote. This is the first time I record song in which I play other things besides just the drums. Felipe got a keyboard, so I'm using it to record piano, strings, choir, etc. Nothing complicated, I use all of two fingers. Wait no, there's one part where I use three fingers..... but anyway. It very simple. Very fun though. I'll send you an mp3 of it when I'm finished with it. I will warn you though, it's a sappy love song.

Look for and try a program called audacity. Its a free multi-track recorder that will allow you to loop, use effects and save in different formats.

If you can get at a mac, try and mess around with gerageband. But be warned, once you go mac windows will seen like the bald headed stepchild.
