I remember Cool Edit Pro! Used it a loooong time ago. It was pretty good at the time.

I started out originally with Acoustica which was a precursor to Mixcraft Pro Studio which I use now. I tried Ableton Live Lite but found it to be too cumbersome for my uses. I find Mixcraft to be a very powerful and inexpensive tool for simple recording musicians. What sold me on purchasing it was the amount of plugins and virtual instruments that came with it for under $200. I've also tried Pro Tools First but it's too limited and I can do as much or more with Mixcraft. If someone's looking for a great value to get your feet wet with, I recommend Mixcraft Pro Studio.

I have a Focusrite 2i2 that has about 10ms latency at my present settings. They just came out with a smaller Clarett version that brings the latency to almost nil. Not bad price either (depending on your budget) about $460. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Clarett2Pre?adpos=1o3&creative=93365752201&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=CNnZi56ylMwCFVFsfgodTzsApw

Both worked fine for me as well. Like the tune. LOVE the guitar! tony

Rudy, I can hardly wait for the song you come up with using belligerent and jock....lol

I didn't even know it existed. I will definitely check it out. Thanks

I thought that was funny too..but if I had to string guitars all day, I would go for it.

Good and practical thread. I like the following video from Taylor Guitars:

Dude (Looks Like A Lady) - Aerosmith

Doctor Love - KISS

That sounds absolutely amazing! Not to mention one of my favorite songs too!

Thanks. It is a bit campy, but what the heck...it was fun.

Very nice song and performance. Man, I wish I could sing like that! Hope it goes crazy on the internet. Good job! Tony

One of the best set of lessons I ever took was FREE - on coursera.com. Pat Pattison professor at Berklee College of Music does a songwriting class. It takes a bit of work and time, but I learned a whole lot. I need to go back over that material again. https://www.coursera.org/learn/songwriting/ tony
