Title: Audio recording on PC
Post by: goldielookinjupp on May 06, 2006, 16:54:09 PM
Obviously if I was a Mac user id be using Garage Band, but as im not, what is the best PC alternative.

I need to reocord audio, (mainly speech with some low rent music stuff) and edit it, it just needs to do the basics well and not cost too much.

Also need a microphone

Any recommendations?
