Software to go ...Depending on your computer platform, a number of software packages are available to you. Here are a few ideas to choose from, to get started:
Shareware / Freeware downloads:If you want to try freeware versions, t's mostly your job to find the places to download freeware / shareware from [try to ensure it's legal!] - a good site to start is Tucows. Audacity is best downloaded from their own site (you can find it here) to be sure you get a clean copy. Audacity is a great tool to start with. Lite versions:Many of the "bought" packages are available as "lite" or low-cost versions [Ableton Live Lite, Cubase Essential 5, Pro Tools LE, for example]. It's also worth noting that many sound interfaces come with some very good, "lite" versions of commercial software bundled into the package. Some of the boxes from Focusrite, E-MU, Presonus ... for example, come with bundled software potentially worth two or three times the price of the interface box or card. On the other hand, Some of the Behringer interfaces give you very good hardware without the software, much cheaper.  So some of their "entry-level" inteface boxes, and a download of Audacity can give you a great introduction to "proper" studio kit at a very low price. Magazines:You may also find useful packages on the cover CDs of the following magazines: ... and there are some excellent magazines covering the more technical aspects of the sound studio and recording technique: NB:Please Note: Many of the product names and manufacturer names quoted in this section are trade marks or registered trade marks of the associated companies.
