I'm thinking about picking up a home recording package but I know next to nothing about these things. Have any of you purchased something similar? This comes with a bunch of software as well.
Just pirate Protools and Guitar Rig. You'll still have to get either a DI or a cable that came with Guitar Rig so you can just plug your bass/guitar directly into the USB and a mic
Recording of the bass is done with a Line6 BackTrack digital recorder, which creates an uncompressed wav-file. The headphone output of my BP90 multi-effect pedal is fed into this BackTrack recorder. Here's a tutorial that explains my way of working with freeware programs.
I spent a decade playing but I was never interested in the recording/production side of things. I must admit I have fallen down the rabbit hole trying to understand all the different options. I called the shop I deal with and they agreed to show me a bunch of options. I am hoping to go and see them this coming weekend.
Jebus, I can just imagine what it is going to be like when I have to figure out how to use whichever software I choose to go with.
