i know what you mean though i have some people who say i can call them day or night but i don't really want to because it's not like they can do anything really
No, I wouldn't recommend any cheap or free recording software. Did you get my contact-tab email?
Some people seem kind of satisfied with Garage Band (which seems to come free with Macintosh computers these days), although I found it clunky and frustrating. I use Cakewalk SONAR 4 (I think Cakewalk actually released version 5 recently), which is absolutely the bomb, but is also pretty expensive. You might poke around the Cakewalk website and see if anything catches your interest. Music Maker Pro and Guitar Tracks (possibly Pro?) seem pretty cheap, but I've never used them and can't vouch for their recommendability.
Really, though, when it comes to just straight up sound quality (which is what you seem to be after at this point, much more so than convenience, features, or ease of use), the program that you use is much less important than what kind of hardware you have. Something with good mic preamps, and an audio interface with good A/D converters is really of utmost importance, as is knowing how to use what you have.
Contact me through my contact tab, let me know what you've got and what you're doing with it, and I'll do my best to give you some advice.
i'm a carpenter. so most of the work is concrete or sheetrock & metal studs. sometimes they send me to dock building & pile driving jobs.
some of the politics with the international are shitty, but there's a lot of good things about it. i'm making more money now than i would without the union so i can't complain.
yea,i don't know what your dad's situation was but i guess it depends on which union you're dealing with and what the situation is. my dues are 20 a month, and the initiation was like $60 so it's not bad. some unions cost like $400 for an initiation fee. i guess they want to keep people out.
a long time ago in the 70s one of the business agents disappeared with the pension fund from a local that eventually got merged into my local. they found his body in nicaragua somewhere.
some unions are still corrupt and old school, but more unions are trying to change cuz they lost a lot of members since business started going overseas. the carpenters are part of the coalition that split off from the AFL-CIO back in september.
well residential was going up for a while... i think residential is petering out now.
there's also a lot of commercial work around the 2 "indian" casinos. they're also building an indoor nascar track and talking about building 2 movie studios in the eastern part of the state. there's always something going on, but it's growing really fast because they have all these huge projects that are lined right up.
and then there's almost always highway and dock work because we're right between boston and nyc and we've got a lot of ports. for a small state, it's pretty densely populated.
ct didn't get hurt as bad when manufacturing started to die out because most of it's industry is arms manufacturers. i was just building a koffer dam at a submarine plant.
