i am a guitarist and i want to record my music better. the default rcorder just isn't cutting it.
i am just wondering if you guys have any ideas for a good recording program.  it can be a free download or something you have to buy. something that runs on windows xp and isn't to complicated. i have heard of fruity loops and have tried it but i just don't think i like it much. but please help me out.

you might want to try guitarpro. or if you want to create some musical score, you could use sibelius. you have to buy them though.

Hmm something on Xp what are you using? The default Recorder? Hmm I downloaded a recorder for Xp a while ago it was very good! But it cost money after the Trial Expired. So that probably wont work for you. Try Download.com or Something.

oh i forgot to mention, i haven't used guitarpro yet. in sibelius, you could have a playback of the score you just made so you would know how it sounds. good luck on your compositions.

QUOTE you might want to try guitarpro. or if you want to create some musical score, you could use sibelius. you have to buy them though. i research these programs and i don't think they are what i am looking for. i want something to record on. they look like programs such as finale. which is a program where you place notes on a staff and it plays it to you. well guitarpro deals with tab but same thing. i will definitly try them though. i am downloading the torrent for guitar pro now. i will let you know what i think of it when i do. in the mean time does anyone know of any recording programs that take feeds from mics and such. something where i record and mix and alter with ease would be pleasent. but i don't think there is much out there.

Try the free software Audacity. Its a free sound editor that runs on virtually any operating system, including XP. It can take feeds in from practically anything and record them on to the PC. You can then edit the sounds and apply filters and adjustments to get it sounding perfect. Give it a go - its free so you've got nothing to lose!

Don't like Fruity Loops!?!?! lol I love fruity loops! But anyway, I think you might look into acoustica. They have lots of different versions of software. I think it might cost a little bit of money. I don't remember. I used to run a cracked version
 But the software is really simple if that's what you want. They do have some okay effects and stuff too. It's all really simple to use. For what I was doing (and what it sounds like you're doing), it was perfect.
