Recording mixes straight onto my mac

Recording mixes straight onto my mac

Ive always recorded my mixes using a cd recorder and then ripped the cd onto my pc/mac, though due to me knocking out roughly a mix every 1/2 months for years now the cd recorder's life span is starting to come to its natural end, to the point where the main factor in whether a recording attempt is successful or not is what mood the fucking thing is in, and whether it will just stop recording halfway through the mix or stick random track breaks in for no apparent reason

What software does people use for recording straight onto a mac, something like soundforge? And anyone know where i can get any cheap/copied copies?

Thanks in advance

Re: Recording mixes straight onto my mac

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/ <<<<<<< i use audacity it does the job and its free

I think soundforge is the best program available but audacity does do the job.

Soundforge is allover the torrent sites

Its all about Soundforge, I cant get a torrent to work so kep downloading the trial whenever i record a mix

Audacity is the best free option like!

Right kids, a bit more advice here please..

Ive tried recording mixes using soundtrack pro and also audacity, though because the connection from my mixer into mac is going in through the microphone input it is also picking up noise from the room (such as me on the phone during the last attempt )

Any ideas how to avoid this?

Danke sehr

with audacity check your preferances the mac normally is set up as microphone input instead of just in put change that i had the same problem

Its a fucking nightmare, the first time i noticed it i was listening back and my brother came in after about 10 mins of the mix kicking off that id woke him up with the noise, fully recorded over the tracks

i did a mix caught some canny funny stuff listening back was canny pissed at the time

is this on a mac did you say? isn't garage band the business?

also, mute all the other inputs
