Recording?

Looking to record some mixes onto my laptop. Not sure what processor speed it is, but it has 256K memory. What do some of you guys use out there and what do ya suggest with my limited recources given that I cannot upgrade the memory? right now im trying the normal windows recording stuff in the applications. anything i can use that dosent use much memory.

Yes..total recorder works real well. Even with my slow computer with 64 mb of memory, it worked fine for me

If you can find it, try Iomega RecordIt, Works really well for slower computers!!

Soundforge is the way to go.

Yeah I think that I have to agree with Dj Phu......Soundforge is the best one to use.....I tried the adaptec one and it is alrite....records with too much bass though...

With soundforge, u have to go into ur control panels (the sound menu) and turn down the line input from there.....that should solve ur clipping problems....

my suggestion would be to not use your unreliable computer for recording and instead get an MP3 recorder. There are some out there that aren't too bad in price and the quality is going to be about what you would get with your soundcard if not better. Though if you can't afford more RAM when it is at one of it's all time lows, then I doubt that you can afford an MP3 recorder.
