What is a good laptop to buy for recording music on?

Stick with Macs.  Get an Macbook or a Macbook pro.  There is a really good reason that almost the entire professional music community uses macs.  They are more stable, and have less driver issues than pcs.  In addition, the best music software, such as Logic and Digital Performer only work on macs.  Protools, the industry standard has a pc version, but it is notoriously buggy.\n\nYou will need to get a audio interface as well.  I recommend the Motu Traveller.

I would buy from a reputable brand.  Any of the big names would be fine.  Look for these specs:  \n\nPentium 4 processor 2.5GHz or above\n512MB DDR-RAM or above (improve this first)\n40GB HDD or above\n17" CRT monitor\nCD/DVD drives.  Consider DVD-RW if you think you might like to burn DVDs.\n\nIf you have money to spare, a Media Center PC has high end components and lets you record TV on your computer, just like a TiVo.  One last component to consider -- onboard video and sound should be fine, but you can always splurge for a graphics card.

The specs are great. Make sure you shop around for the best deal first try PC World and http://www.dabs.com but you can't get a laptop of much better quality than that.\n\nHope this Helps!

I don't know what Sony ACID Pro is, but most multi-track music production software has a on-screen mixer yes. As for youe computer... probably, there isn't anything out there more exhuasting on a CPU than making music - primarily because it's all done in real-time. Depending on what you intend to record (just real instruments? or use a lot of software synthesisers and samples) - will depend on what you really need for your computer.\n\nThis isn't an issue to take lightly, a computer is like the heart of your setup, if you don't get a good computer, you're wasting your time with soundproofing and so forth... To be honest, I would like to take into consideration the sort of room your working in? It might not be the first place to start with worrying about soundproofing... \n\nFeel free to email me at davidjffranco@yahoo.co.uk and tell me what you intend to record... I'll help you and give you some more advice as I work as a composer in the video game industry.

Dell Inspiron or Toshiba lapotops are a good buy. But as someone rightly said; its a mix of your budget and computing needs.

The audacity is a good software to use but wait.....\nMost of the latest sound cards (full duplex) have a built in capability of recording, editing and mixing of music. If you have a full duplex sound card, all you need is install its utilities (that come with the sound card in a CD) and you will find the recording software. For example, if you have Sound Blaster Audigy card, look in the programs and you will find Smart Recorder in Creative. Its one of the best recorders and mixer. You can record kareoke songs, external audio, TV, DVD and virtually any thing.

Personally I recommend Toshiba laptops. They have multiple makes (Satellite and Qosimo among others) and variations of each to fit your budget. [See the link below]\n\nSome extra information: on any laptop, what to watch out for is if the AC power port is on the rear of the laptop, be careful not to tilt the base backwards when opening the screen. This can bend the cord and result in the the port becoming detached internally. That's why no matter what laptop you decide to purchase, I highly recommend spending the extra on a good extended warranty.

Look on ebay. In most cases an older laptop with P4 (1.4 - 1.8 GHz), 512MB Ram, 30 - 40 GB HD, DVD/CD-RW will do it. You should get 'em for $600 - 700. Look for\nIBM Thinkpad\nSony Vaio\nHP Omnibook

I assume you mean that your laptop is almost out of disk space, not memory.\n\nThere are many external hard drives that will plug into the USB port on your laptop and will store a lot of music.  I have purchased some that hold 250GB of storage for $129.  They are perfect for that type of application.  Just make sure that your laptop has USB ports (preferably USB 2.0).  Unless it is more than 5 years old, you should be fine.

Try Behringer , or Mackie - they make a pretty good variety of models just for what you need , good price too.

A very basic recording studio needs several elements:\n1. microphone\n2. mixer\n3. recorder\n\nThere are oodles of variations on this simple setup, but if you have a microphone with a cable, mixer with a preamp, and a recorder, be it digital or analog, tape or hard drive, you can record.\n\nComputer recording is taking over like a storm, so that is definately an option to investigate. By getting a USB audio interface with a mic preamp built in, a microphone & cable, and [free] software, you can be setup for multi-track recording!\n\nA standalone recorder is another option, some have mic inputs already on them. To see an article on standalone recorder versus computer recording, see http://www.learn-recording.com/digital-recording.html\n\nFrom there, you have many options to upgrade, not the least of these is a good quality microphone.

Hi,\n\nI was told that this is a pretty good voice recording software, it's free :)\n\nAny microphone will do fine, just make sure you buy the right one. Or even better you can buy a headset, a headset is a headphone and mic in one :)Brands that I recommend are:\nPlantronics,Logitech,Creative.
