Where to find software for recording music at studio quality on my laptop?
i have windows 7 and i want to produce music tracks like they do in the studio and i need a program to use and where to find it free of course?
You will not get studio quality software for free - period..
To quote Everyday "there are a lot of programs that will give you good quality, but at the end of the day, what matters is how you use it".
I've used Audacity (a free audio recording and editing program) to record demos for bands so it does work - keeping in mind the above quote.
Having over 25 years experience as an audio engineer / musician also helps.
Audacity..

Lame if needed to encode to mp3:

How to install Lame:

Very basic Audacity starter guide.
(1) Because of patent restrictions Lame needs to be downloaded and installed separately to save tracks in mp3 format.
(2) Audacity will only accept and play files in wav, mp3, Ogg and aiff format apart from it's own native .aup format.
A short noise for about one second indicates an incorrect file format.
(3) For any effects to be active a part or all of the track needs to be highlighted.
Left click on a blank part of the panel to the left of the waveform or use ctrl+a to highlight the whole track or left click, hold and drag to highlight a selected portion of it.
(4) The recording input is selected from a drop down list at the top right of the program.
For Vista users if "stereo mix" or "what you hear" is not active on the input list:
Vista: Click Start> Control Panel. Select Manage Audio Devices in the Sound Section.
Click the Recording Tab and if the Stereo Mix Option is missing right-click on an empty part of the window and left-click on Show Disabled Devices. Right-click on the icon and select Enable. This will enable recording of sound coming through your speakers.
(5) Multi-track recording setup:
Version 1.2 via File menu, version 1.3 via Edit menu.
Preferences / Audio I/O tab and check:
"play other tracks while recording new one".
Version 1.3.12 - Edit / Preferences / Recording:
"Playthrough / Overdub / "play other tracks while recording new one".
Import the first track then monitor it while recording subsequent track/s.
It's best to use headphones while doing this to prevent feedback.
