I use Acoustica Beatcraft for drums : http://www.acoustica.com/beatcraft/

Easy to use ( imo ) and you can end up customizing things pretty well to your liking if you so desire ( for instance the panning on different parts of the kit, or levels of the individual items ).

Just use guitar pro 5 it has rse (realistic sound engine) and you can export mp3 file right out to record over. It does a lot of different instruments too.

For bass you can get Spectrasonic Trilogy. Great sounding samples.

For drums - it's all stated above smile.gif XLN Addictive Drums for me! biggrin.gif

Of course smile.gif
Or you can record it into your PC as well
(if you have enough inputs for that on audio card and if it's easy for you to carry it around).

that would probly be the easiest way to becuase my friend doesnt have a computer where we practice. and also though i use a line 6 toneport gx, how could you record drums and singing with that because i only have one imput.

well the thing is i have the first line 6 thing i showd you so i could record my own stuff. but i could get the second one to record more stuff instruments but i would only use it for drums n singing. i want to get a drum software to record full songs but the thing is i dont want to buy all this stuff and then have to buy a multi track recorder for my band which would probly be easier since you dont need a computer but i dont wanna be spending all this money if were not going to be recording and stuff so im confused right now blink.gif


can you record guitar the same way as a usb recorder and post it on here for collabaration stuff? or is itdifferent?

Groove Agent Vst from Steinberg is pretty decent and realistic for recording drums. It has
various samples from the 1950's upwards...only thing is that you ideally need a midi keyboard
or drum pads to use it to its full effect.
