I’m a singer/songwriter. What program or software should I use for recording voice, guitar, drums? I will also want to do some music editing also.
Majority of the pros use Pro Tools for the Mac although it’s also available for Windows. Pro Tools is a little on the expensive side and not the easiest program to use, it may be a overkill for you but it’s something to keep in mind.
If you are serious about creating music get yourself a Mac (Apple PC) and pick up a program package called Logic Studio from Apple, this is a really powerful music recording/editing tool that’s used by a lot of musicians and recording studios. Apple recently dropped the price for Logic Studio to about 500 dollars which makes it very affordable and this program comes with everything you need including remixing, recording, instruments and drum effects and more.
You should also check out Fast Track from M-Audio for the mics, drums, and keyboard interface.
