Maybe I'm asking for too much but...

[Guest]

does anyone know any freeware programs that one can use to record some guitar and maybe simulate some effects?

I've seen some stuff about VST, from what I can tell you can simulate all sorts of things with that but need something from Steiberger to run those simulations.

Any hints?

I know, I do have an amp, but I'd like to test somethings now and I'd like to record a half-way decent clip without resorting to recording the amp with my mp3 player (doubt I can connect the amp to the laptop without blowing something up). I say half way cause I can improve my tone digitally but not my playing :laugh2:

Not sure what you need exactly but here is a 4 track recording software that works really well. It has reverb, delay, adjustable gain, and something else I can't remember. Works great for direct recording.

If you meant you are looking for a guitar effect/amp simulator, I have nothing.

Mmm, thanks, I'll take a look.

Found something called VSTHost, lets just see if I can record out of it eheh.

Look up Reaper . . . I've never used it, but heard that it's pretty decent. At least it's free . . .

Have you looked into Audacity. Pretty good multiple track recording with some effects. You can add tracks to existing tracks. It's a free download.
