Comparison of Recording Software


Ok guys today I am going to give you a quick comparison of the recording software spoken about in the past week. These included Mixcraft, Audacity and GarageBand.

Mixcraft

Mixcraft is very user friendly and has plenty of support after purchase. Its website has discussion forums and other information on how to use the program. As discussed it has over 6000 music loops and sound effects and 11 virtual instruments to make your own sounds with. It packed full of features such as multi track recording and other audio effects. The base software program is priced at $74.95 and the Mixcraft pro studio is $149.95. Mixcraft works on both pc and mac operating systems.

Audacity

Audacity is the free option out of the three programs. It has features of an expensive software suite and it also allows you to cut and paste sections, delete sections, use effect such as fade in and out, noise removal, echo and many more including extra plugins that can be downloaded. The Audacity website offers up to date help manuals and tutorials for those who need it, which is great considering the software is free. This is available for windows, mac and Linux operating systems

GarageBand

GarageBand as discussed in the recent post, gives you the ability to create your own music with over 100 software instruments included in the software. It allows you record and edit your sounds as well as share them with others too. It is a user friendly program and has a clear and easy to use layout. The program as mentioned previously comes free with mac computers and is exclusive to mac as well.

Hope that gives you a quick comparison on the recording software. Next up is the DJ software comparisons and finally our own options on what software you should be using!
