Hey, my mate is moving to Derby in a few weeks and we had about 2 months ago set up a band named Road To Russia, as hes moving a couple of hundred miles away,we would like to meet up and record an album, we have the playlist and have made the sleeves and album cover etc. but what is the best way to record songs onto a computer. I have tried recording the chord progression, copying to CD, playing really loud and singing over it while recording, this seems the best way but is quite fuzzy, Ive also tried overlapping tracks but can never get it dead on, without any software, can you guys help it sound better???

Never tried without using special software I'm afraid - there must be wave editors that are free to download - one comes with Nero CD burning software. All I can suggest is using a wave editor and pasting each track over the other.

Ideally though get something like Cakewalk or Cubase, you can get them pretty cheap on ebay, apparently they may be available for free off one of the p2p download sites - but then again I wouldn't know...
