Every now and then it happens that the urge to record a song hits me. To solve this desire, I have acquired some simple gadgets to be able to do this.
Here’s an overview of it all

Music program
After all, there are a plethora of music programs for recording (so-called DAWs). After trying about ten different ones, both expensive and cheap, I’m stuck with Wavefront Pro
The program is free for the slightly simpler version, and costs $199 for the more advanced Pro version. The reason I chose Waveform is that it has most of what is needed and is incredibly easy to use.
Drums
Although I own an EZDrummer 3 license I have stopped using it in favor of the MT-Power Drumkit 2 which sounds just as good and is much easier to use. MT-Power Drumkit is free if you put up with the 10 second delay when you start it up but for a very modest amount you get rid of it.
Amp Simulator
I’ve replaced all of my guitar effects pedals in favor of an Amp Simulator Bias FX 2 and haven’t regretted it for a second.
