Recording Programs

Hey guys i have Line6 Rifftracker but i need to register it first by use of the internet, but i don't have internet access on my computer yet. I already find it limiting as you only get prerecorded drum tracks and you can't create your own.

So i was considering buying Drumkit From Hell. Do any of you use it? if so, what software do you use to record the guitars?

What other programs should i look into that won't cost me an arm an leg?

Yeh i use Drum Kit From Hell. Great program. As for an overall sequencer, something like Cubase SE (which can be picked up from soundcontrol for around 99quid) would be a start.

If you plan on using DFHS you definitely want a VST host sequencer (Cubase, Logic, etc). It doesn't play nice with Sonar.

both superior and ezdrummer really get the shits being run in sonar for some reason - which is a shame - because sonar is actually quite awesome.

I hear you. I absolutely love Sonar. The only feature it doesn't have that I wish it would is the ability to group MIDO sequences (the way you can in Reason). I think they believe that groove clips achieve the same functionality, but it doesn't. For audio, editing audio and applying effects, etc, it's unbelievably easy.

Would Cubase SE3 be ok for what i want to do ? or should i spent £200 more and get the Cubase 4 Studio?

Bear in mind, i just want to record guitar and bass and be able to use drum tracks from Drumkit from hell.

Again open to suggestions for which programs that let me use DKFH.

I run sonar but I too would second cubase.

Find a student and use them to go get the students discount for Studio 4 - I just used my copy of Logic to get a crossgrade version of it for a whopping 200.

The only difference between Cubase 4 and Cubase 4 Studio are some plugins that come stock with it, a special panning feature on stereo tracks, lack of that extra control room crap, no 5.1 mixing option, and limited to 128 (

) physical ins/outs.

Definitely go with Cubase - I've not found a more intuitive, easy to use program. I just sold my copy of Logic and can't wait for this to get set up again!

I've been using Tracktion 2 for a while now. Extremely simple and effective. I have yet to find anything wrong with it. You can get a demo here, and see if you like it.
