Subject:How to upload music from a CD or an instrument ? Posted by: divyangray Date:2/14/2000 2:33:00 PM Hello, I am new at this, but I am really interested in making music through software. I am planning to buy some of the softwares that are listed on the site, but before that I would like to try and download some of the trial versions. first of all, which software will allow me to record multiple tracks and the allow me to mix them ? 2) How can reacord an instrument via the computer, do I have to use some sort of a midi port cable? 3) can I upload some cd track lets say an mp3 file on a track and work with it ? 4) how can I use a mic that will allow me to record my own voice on the computer onto a track. It would be really helpful if someone that answer these, or if I am asking the wrong question then direct me in the correct direction. thank you Ray

Acid 2.0 will do the trick 2. Get a mixer and connect the Line Out of the Mixer to the Line In your computer's souncard. Plug your instrument into an Input Channel and make the necessary adjustments. 3. You can record wave files, an mp3 that is being plaved will record if you play it as you record it. 4. Go to Step 2 above and plug your mic into the mixer. 5. Connect the Line Out of your sound card to an input (CD, Aux) of your stereo to listen to what you recorded or you can use the computer's speakers but they are usually crappy compared to a real stereo sytem. Salute, Jon ### You don't have to have an external mixer but you'll get more professional results with one. >> >>It would be really helpful if someone that answer these, >>or if I am asking the wrong question then direct me in the >>correct direction. >>thank you >>Ray

1. Acid 2.0 will do the trick

2. Get a mixer and connect the Line Out of the Mixer to the Line In
your computer's souncard. Plug your instrument into an Input Channel
and make the necessary adjustments.

3. You can record wave files, an mp3 that is being plaved will record
if you play it as you record it.

4. Go to Step 2 above and plug your mic into the mixer.

5. Connect the Line Out of your sound card to an input (CD, Aux) of
your stereo to listen to what you recorded or you can use the
computer's speakers but they are usually crappy compared to a real
stereo sytem.

Salute,
Jon
