Thanks again everyone for the suggestions. I've decded to stick with Audacity, having spent a good while over the holidays tinkering with some settings to try and eliminate the issues that were pushing me away from using it. For starters I reduced the sample rate down to 16-bit having looked into my...

Thanks again to all.

I have a few options to consider as a result, will check em all.

Thanks and Merry Christmas.

Over and Out.

Hi Uncle! As some here will know, 99% of the time I don't record on a computer. I use a Zoom digital multitrack recorder and then import the tracks into my DAW. I suspect I use far less than a quarter of the facilities/options that are open to me. :) I'd go along with the suggestion to check out Re...

Thanks

Thanks all for the further suggestions, I'll look into them too. Audacity...I'm tempted to discuss, but honestly I've been over it all indepth at their forum with no resolution and loathe to get that indepth again, plus I'll just derail my own thread by doing so !! Thanks again though, I have a few ...

I really am looking for something no more complex than a mixer I can master from. That's what a DAW is/does. Unfortunately I think you are going to be doomed to disappointment with other options. Maybe, that's the challenge though! I mean...I had a Tascam 4 track cassette recorded 25 years ago...su...

Are you sure that it's Audacity that's at fault? Is your PC up to it? Or is it old and short on memory, like many of us here? It says here that the only limit is your PC (as one would expect), and that 40 tracks is not impossible, for example. https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?t=99100 Ye...

I'd also say to embrace a 'proper' DAW. Sure, it will involve some learning, but with a bit of patience (and a few 'Help!' posts here!) life will be easier. To be brutally honest I would not have recommended the DAWs you've tried up to now... Going full DAW just doesn't fit my circumstances unfortu...

You will probably read on the 'net that Reaper is very complicated and with a "steep learning curve", which it is if you have to unlearn and rethink loads of stuff but when you initially spark it up and create a few tracks (double click on the screen) then it's basically what you describe...

I've just typed 'Audacity Multitrack Equivalent' into a well-known search engine and have got loads of hits... that would probably be a good starting point for you, as you can explore across a wide range of offerings. Sorry Mike, I should have mentioned part of my search included that. I found that...

Hi, My title probably spells out my question I suppose, but to give more detail... I've been using Audacity a little bit for a year now and it certainly has plus points, but I am finding it problematic when I get into the realms of having say 10+ tracks in a song...Audacity starts to clip, have soun...

Update on my situation is I already had an iso file from years ago when I first had the CD ROM to try on a desktop computer, and have managed to successfully mount the iso and run the programme using Windows Compatability mode. This haa previously ended in disaster but now works, perhaps a combinati...

https://www.retroarch.com/ PSX emulation is pretty mature at this point, you can run the original on your PC or any number of other devices with a USB controller (or an emulated PSX mouse even). The sound quality should be very close, and I think it should be possible to route the sound directly ou...

Thanks. Sorry, I should have said I've tried and excluded the PC version of both Music 2000 and MTV Music Generator. Music 2000 I had on CD and tried on various desktops and laptops over the years and cannot get it to run. I've recently had MTV install and open on my laptop, but then it refuses to w...

Hello all, As may be guessed from the title, I used to use Music 2000 back when it was releases on the Playstation. (Apparently it was called MTV Music Generator in the US). I'm looking (and failing so far) to find a piece of software for Windows that is as close to Music 2000 in its simplicity and ...
