Topic: New computer
Well, my seven year old Dell that is still rock solid stable is just maxed out. I can't do with it what I want any more, so it's going to go to the kids. My wife and I find ourselves frequently overlapping or waiting for one another, so we bought ourselves each a laptop computer for our anniversary (22 years on the 28th of the month).
I bought a Sony VAIO for myself and a Toshiba somethingorother for her. The VAIO has a web cam and will soon be getting a USB microphone. So, I may finally, finally, finally be able to record a song or two and playback to hear what I need to do for improving and refining my style and so-called arrangements.
What's that software Russell evangelizes? Is it Audacity? I use that for the voiceover work I do for training classes. Will it work for music too? Do I need two different inputs, one for the guitar and one for voice? How do I keep the mics from bleeding into one another? Maybe this should be in the Recording forum. Aww heck. It's mostly about bragging about the new computer so I'll leave it here. A moderator can move it if it needs moving, though.
