Wanna start recording from my computer...

[MenacingMonk]

What kind of cheap software can I use to add vocals to an instrumental? Can I use audacity?

What will I need? I was thinking of just a mic and a decent program.

 

[GMVP]

I know people who use audacity.. its free also.. But a major factor depends on your mic..

 

[MenacingMonk]

What kind if decent mic should I get?

 

[MenacingMonk]

What kind of good, cheap mic should I be looking for? Anyone got any feedback on some?

Avid Vocal Studio is about $100. Mic, Stand, Carry Case and Software...you might be able to get it used from Amazon for cheaper. I know a few people who have used it and like it.

Is it USB? or what kind of plug? Just need it to hook up to my tower.

And Get adobe audition! i've been using it for years,but finally decided to make the switch to Pro tools. I do all my recording and just send my tracks out to get mastered and mixed by the dude on her!

Bringing up old posts (ftw?). Anyway, I've fallen into some financial difficulties and I hit the old search function and found this Feb. joint. Um, I have GarageBand and the GarageBand for Dummies ebook. I can look into Audacity, Adobe Audition, and maybe even this Avid Vocal Studio (though I kind of feeling iffy about using a USB mic).

Any of you guys recorded whole songs on Garageband?

It's all right dude. I can't really rap loud when I'm recording cause it comes out all distorted.

 

[InterestedNow]

What set-up you got though? I'm tryna figure out why it would come out normal at a normal voice, but be messed up if you rap loud?

That's not that bad for a bundle (says the man that just got a check and still has it fully intact). You got any examples of what you've recorded using this?
