Re: [Harp-L] Recording Software Opinions/Garage band video audio

You can also do some nice quick fixes for video. I had some video I digitized from
an old vhs tape with the audio done olnly with the mike on the camera.
I knew I need a little help but dreaded stripping it an putting it in DP and fixing it and
putting it back to the video. I took a chance and dropped it in Garage Band and
there it was video on one track and audio plane as day on another.
I added compression, eq, reverb and a little echo in no time. I saved and put in IMOVIE and did the video editing and loaded up to youtube. Here it is.

In my view for intuitive use you cannot beat garageband, but you need a mac to run it. I know people who have never used audio software before who get it to work in less than an hour. Garageband is miles better than audacity. Its only serious limit is that you are restricted to recording on one channel at a time (I think).
Apple have also bought the Logic system and offer Logic Studio and Logic Express at reasonable prices. These are likely to be even better in terms of features and the reviews suggest that they are also very intuitive to use. There are reasons why many music and film pros use macs.

One can now do audio mixing and editing tasks in 2 minutes that took hours if not days 25 years ago.
