Help me find recording software.
I'm looking for a specific recording software that I downloaded and used about a year ago and then subsequently deleted. I've forgotten what it was called -- it wasn't Audacity (which I still enjoy using). It was easy (for me) to use because the visual layout was like a traditional mixing board: the levels, pots, switches, gains, filters, multiple tracks. It allowed for a little more complex mixing and EQ-ing than Audacity. And I remember it was free, I just downloaded it, used it for a quick project and then got rid of it (thinking I wouldn't need it again). I was surprised at how good it was for freeware. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Audio Hijack, Audio Recorder, Sound Recorder, Sound Studio?
They're all Mac. You didn't say.
Anyway, just check out "VersionTracker" {for PC and Mac} search for "audio" and I'm sure you'll find what you're lookin' for.

Reaper was my first thought too. Could it have been the free version of acid? Was it a multitrack sequencer or a wave editor?

Response by poster: None of the above so far. XP not mac. Reaper is close. The layout of the interface was vertical, as if you were sitting behind a mixing board.

Best answer: This made me think of Kristal Audio Engine (still free for non-commercial use).
Another possibility might be Quartz Audio Master, which is/was a freeware, scaled-down version of a similar product. Both were released years ago by a company that has since seemed to have disappeared.

not free, but you can download Adobe Audition 2.0 for a 30 day trial which has a mixing board interface, among others.

Possibly CoolEdit 2000 with the Studio Add-in? It is now owned by Adobe and is called Audition. You may still find Cool Edit 2000 online, but you can't register it.

Best answer: Kristal Audio Engine is what I use, and sounds like what you describe.
