It just seems frustrating to have to buy software that pro's use, when I'm just a nobody trying to have some fun. The more and more I research, the more obvious its becoming that I need to invest in some software. Is there any free alternative to audacity that will record, and let you run with VST's without having to flip back and forth between menu items? But the problem with audacity is like I said.the VST opens in its own window and you can't keep it open to adjust the settings, then hear it, then tweak it some more, then listen.etc. What would be nice is if I could hook up a VST like iZotope's 'Nectar' ( ) which I'd have to buy, obviously. I find that step 6 obviously takes the most amount of time. I like audacity for its simplicity, but perhaps its just too simple?Ģ) Record it again, because I fuked up the first oneģ) Aw heck, another take can't hurt, can it?Ĥ) If needed, record it again.and again.and again.ĥ) Unplug from the studio, and take my laptop back to my officeĦ) With the app still running, I trim out breaths and noise, and piece together the best complete run of what I'm trying to record I'm a hobbyist, so I can't justify buying something like pro tools, reason, etc. It's great for the basic stuff, but it loads VST's in their own modal windows, meaning you can't tweak something, hit play, tweak it a bit more, hit play, etc.

I've searched through quite a few different places, and have yet to find a good free program to record vocals. What recording software to use for voice?
