Using CEP 2.1a for 6 years. Great. Mixer? What I do: Individual tracks(audio) at a time–I do the 1 man band thing. Just go right into my old PC’s–WinME–1/8″ jack for all. Mics direct. Elec gtr through a Zoom effects pedal, mostly same for Ac gtr. Now have Vista. Need to go USB. Looked at Pro Tools and Cubase. Heard that midi is much better with them. Cost more, but not that much for their low-end versions. Comments comparing those to AA3? Does it require an interface–dongle? Like M-Audio?

Audacity sucks for anything but the simplest recording. Horrible effects. All sorts of limitations on moving around and and moving parts of the audio. Not for use in multi-track music audio.

AFAIK you can only record multiple channels at one time, not multiple tracks. You can record stereo or even up to 16 channels at the same time, but they will all be put onto one track.

You’re right, nobody records in mp3. But many people want to save as mp3, which you can do only with the .dll. Overdubs are really important for making songs even better.

How do you record multi-track in Audacity??

I’ve just spent 10 min. on Google and all I’m reading about are the, “overdub - play other tracks while recording new one,” selection. That sounds kind of weird.

Also, why would anyone want to record tracks as an MP3? An MP3 is 1/12th of an uncompressed audio file. Wouldn’t you actually want a “.wav,” or an “.aiff,” on a Mac?

I commony find myself using Ableton Live 8. It’s really meant for ambient/techno/electronica/hip-hop type music as a majority of the plug-in modules and bundled instrument racks are geared towards that. But I still like it alot for rock music, very versatile and has some great mastering tools plus 64 total tracks.
