Re: [Harp-L] into computer

[Joel Fritz <williemctell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Another inexpensive alternative, free, in this case, is Adobe Audition 
3.0, which you can download for free from the Adobe site.  It's an older 
version but it has more features than most people need for home 
recording.  It's a descendent of Cool Edit, which Adobe bought several 
years ago. I've made a lot of multitrack recordings using a 4 input 
mixer although 3 of the channels were useless to me since I was 
recording one track at a time.  <g>  Since I bought that mixer a lot of 
inexpensive mixers and condensor mics with USB outputs have come on the 
market.  Considering what a decent reel to reel tape recorder cost when 
tape was the only option for home recording and 2 channels were the 
practical limit for what  most people could afford, computers are amazing.

I'd recommend this type of setup to anyone with limited resources on a tight budget
