What is a good Windows alternative to Garage Band?

Asked by thebalrog (27points) July 20th, 2007

I recently acquired a decent set of sound equipment for recording music, but I don't have very good software. I have Cakewalk Guitar Tracks 2 (which is about 23 years old, I'm fairly certain). I'm looking for something Windows-based that is (hopefully) as easy to use as Garage Band and still does a decent job of recording. I don't need lots of features, but something intuitive would be nice.

Probably Acid.

Beyond that Cubase, Pro-Tools, and Digital Performer

Adobe Audition is good. Sony SoundForge is also good. Looking for Open-source and Free? AUDACITY.

Band in a Box. Inexpensive. Just check out their website. http://www.band-in-a-box.com
