I don't think I can do this in SoundForge. Can anyone recommend the right product for me ? Will I need any special hardware - or can this be done with software solutions on simple hardware.

The 2408 has 1/4 inch balanced inputs for the guitar pickups (or microphones). The newer 2408 Mark II, has eight 24 bit converters onboard! There are other software and hardware combinations other than these, but for ease of use and safety backups on tape, I recommend this avenue wholeheartedly! It's the best of both worlds, analog and digital! You might look at sonic Foundry's homepage and download a version of VegasPro to try it out.

Newbie recording question - don't flame me,

I want to record guitar tracks one at a time - but I need
to listen to tracks I have recorded previously so that I
can play along and record additional track alongside what I
have already recorded to build up a song.

I don't think I can do this in SoundForge. Can anyone
recommend the right product for me ? Will I need any
special hardware - or can this be done with software
solutions on simple hardware.

Cheers

Adrian.
