I have a couple of CD's of a live recording of my band but the bass and the steel parts can't be heard....the rest is great though.
I don't own any recording equipment other than my laptop and a good sound card.
What recording device would you recommend I use (buy) to dub in the missing parts?
Also, don't know if it matters but the cd's are one set long with no individual tracks.
(as soon as I posted this I just noticed John McClung's post for essetially the same thing)

I would think a relatively inexpensive 4-6 channel recording program should do the trick.
And something like the M Box or Focusrite Saphire etc.

CAN'T TELL WITH OUT KNOWING WHAT YOU HAVE FOR A COMPUTER.

Do you have 1384 Firewire, or USB?

There are several solutions for 2 channel In and Out for both typical computer cdialog systems.

David, I have a Dell P4 Inspiron with XP Home.
Would you recommend using the 'puter or buying a stand alone digital recording device?

Do it on the 'puter. Look up "Musicians Bundle". "Mixcraft" is at least a 16 channel digital mixer, and you can get Mixcraft and Beatcraft for about $70 US.
Do it in .wav format & have fun....

I use "Guitar Pro Tracks" by Cakewalk, PSG thru my PODxt connected via USB to my Dell PC.

YOu cannot tell that it wasn't recorded in a REAL recording studio.

Amazing!

E mail me for mp3 examples if you are interested.

Thanks !

Tim

Why spend money on a hardware system,
when a software addition will do the job.
The only question is inputing your steel / mics.

That is a hardware question,
but a lot cheaper than
a standalone recording system.

Tim's Pod idea works well.
There are other instrument to USB or Instrument to Firewire solutions.

Ray's bundles look adequate.

You don't need top of the line, just clean and simple.

The other good part is you will then have it
for other uses after these tracks are cleaned up.

Learning new software can be a b!#$#. But, it's the price we pay for improved functionality.
What I really hate is when the current method is nothing like the new method, and the brain keeps wanting to interpret the new method using the old method's rules. It would be better to be dumb to start.
