The Recording Software

     No matter who you are or how much money you have, if you are going to record something you are going to need to choose a specific recording software. The prices range from $30 to $200 but you really don't want to purchase anything less than $65 because the others do not have the proper features and are known for their glitches. Buying software really is a personal favorite depending on what kind of set up you like. The main brands are Pro Tools, Mixcraft, and Audacity. I have Mixcraft 4.5 because the format is much easier to understand than other programs. In this specific program they give you the ability to adjust the volume of each track and add effects while the song is playing like most quality programs. What sets this one apart from the others is it's much more simple to add effects to the music because it's just a couple of clicks to add something unlike Pro Tools where you have to click a million icons before you get to select what you want.
     Pro Tools is also another well respected recording program. It is also the most used in professional recording studios around the globe. This software will run you about $100 to $150 depending on what version you get and what comes with it. Pro Tools is good because it has more customizing features than any other product out there. The combinations are almost endless. The down side is people say that  it might be difficult to learn because of all the options. This program also is only compatible with certain interfaces like the M-box which limits your choices when it comes to the equipment you use.
