Newbie Needs Help Recording Vocals And Producing

Hi,

Today is only my second day ever working with sound equipment. I have converted one of my rooms into a booth for recording vocals, namely Rap. I currently have a Behring x1204USB connected to my laptop Running Audacity (which I have no idea how to use really... but I'll get to that in a second). To my Mixer is connected an AudioTechnica Mic with a popscreen in a room that has been foamed for soundproof. The room does not echo, so the sound coming out of my laptop sounds VERY crisp and VERY clean.

My problem is that I need a program that will recognize my Behringer Mixer as the input deciver (on Windows 7), and that will allow me to produce my own beats (on the computer).

I need some instructions on how to properly put together some instrumentals that I currently have with some vocals that I will record to them.

I also need some tutorials or instructions on how to produce Hip-Hop/Rap beats.

I understand that this is not something I will learn over night. I am very dedicated and would appreciate any and all help that I can get.


Thanks.


Sasquatch

Hi Sasquatch,

A great audio software program to use is Reaper .. it's got tons of advanced features and best of all it's free! Also, Check out Record, Mix and Master http://www.recordmixandmaster.com for loads of helpful hints and tips.
