recording hardware & RECORDING SOFTWARE

Hi Lieven,

I think you are trying to go down the wrong road looking for 'software to correct tracks'. It is far, far easier and quicker to re-record a guitar or vocal track that is not right.

Russell is absolutely correct, apart from a microphone, you appear to have everything you need. I know you are impatent, but you really must set aside time to read the Boss 600 manual and experiment with it, the more you use it the easier it becomes and the more you find out what it can do.

Take care,

Roger

Me likey.

Back in the day, I used to work for a church bell company. We had some electronic systems that played a sampled bell for those who couldn't afford our "real deal". We used a program called "Cake Walk". I thought it was pretty user friendly, and could do a lot of cool stuff. Don't know if it is still out, or how expensive it is, but maybe worth a Google?

At the risk of dating myself again, Cake Walk used to be "the" program. I ran it on a 386 computer back when having Prodigy was cool and the internet was a rumor!!1

At the risk of sounding like a MacWeirdo, get yourself a Mac.  I tried several programs (Including Adobe Audition) to do home recording, and it was all just so complicated for a singer-songwriting-guitar-player-non-sound engineer. 
Two little words made my life so much easier: Garage Band. Not being in one, but recording with it. Comes free(!) on any new Apple computer with iLife. Yes, it's a bit simple, but it sounds to me like this chap just wants to get his songs recorded. In reality, it's not that limiting.  Depending on how much of your life you want to put into it, (and how much the wife lets you put into it) you can engineer a recording that even has other musicians giving you kudos on the 'production'.  Don't believe me? http://www.garageband.com/song?|pe1|S8LTM0LdsaSlYVmzZmw
(Yes, this is a little shameless self-plugging, but then would I be a musician if I didn't do it?)
Hardware to do this recording was: Toneport UX2, ($199.00) which you can replace with your BOSS BR 600, MXL 990 Condenser Microphone ($59.00) and a 1.5GHz Powerbook (you can find them used for $500-$700. Martin acoustic, Dean acoustic bass, G&L strat.  No amps, no effects racks.  I just used the effects in Garage Band.  Of course, each effect was customized, but it's easy to do, and you start off with a pretty good set of effects.  And I could go on and on, but let me add this disclaimer: I work at Apple. BUT, I didn't when I recorded this. And now I'm shutting up.

That's the point. They present it as if it is SO SIMPLE, even my BOSS 600, I found a translation,
250 pages long. I HATE MANUALS, and, this is my nature, everything I'm hating or not interested, causes a lot of trouble and problems.
I even don't like to read books, and if I read: 200  pages = 2 hours, perfectly knowing and even reproducing that book. I am a "diagonal reader" who is very impatient. Of course I miss the "essence" of a lot of things, like having a floorboard, I use maybe 20% of the capacity. I am NOT in the mood since some weeks to play guitar. Since New Year, I don't play electric. Acoustic, slowly learning some finger picking, and playing maybe 15 minutes a day. The strange thing is, that I play a lot better comparing it with the play-time. Has somebody an explanation about this mysterious fact?
