My little blues / jazz band is together (I hope). Would like to produce some demos, and mp3's.. but all of my extra cash just went to mesa bogie (aww yeah).

Someone recommended a package called "Cake Walk" for doing this, with not much extra equipment needed. Anyone used it?

Until I just got my 16 Track Fostex, we used to use Vegas. I've heard cakewalk suggested too, but I always thought that was for more the midi side (it may have changed since version 2 :)). Vegas by sonic foundry allows all the tracks you need and easy on the fly editing.

Anyone want to hear some good recording? Go to http://www.mp3.com/tea

Recorded on a single track, live in a warehouse on a Ross 4 X 4. My first attempted at recording, and pretty crappy at that! But it's number 2 on the all time listen list for Davie, FL (last time I checked, and that was only out of four or five songs :)).

I have a friend who has been doing a lot of studio time.
He did Cake Walk a lot and really liked it.

I have used Magix Music Studio (Older version) it had a lot of features very similar to Cake Walk, it was made by a German company. It was ok, but a bit clunky to use. I later purchased their MP3 Maker...what a RIP OFF, they give you a poor MP3 engine and tell you to go get another MP3 engine that used to
be free but now belongs to anotehr company that will sell it to you for
about the same price I paid for Magix MP3 Maker. My personal opinion was
Magic MP3 Maker is Junk Ware and it should be a crime for them to sell crap like that.

But your question was Cake Walk, I have heard good things about Cake Walk
but have only played with a demo version about 4 years ago.

I curently use Music Match 7.2 to do basic recording, You actually can play back a recording and play to it and record off the system mixer to record
both the playback and yourself over top of it, pretty fun tool to mess
around with.

I would play a blues rythem and record it, then play it back and rerecord
leads and singing. You can record to WAV, Windows Media, MP3 and MP3pro.

It is a free working download from MusicMatch.com, the registered version is worth paying the $29 for it, it opens up a couple extra features like faster burning speed, though I never use it to burn, I am partial to using Nero Burning ROM.

Good luck.
