Recording music is done mostly from the computer if you want to store music to your MP3 player or iPod. You can do this with the most basic software that you can buy online.
How digital music recording works
Recording music digitally is nothing like storing music to a cassette from a cassette player. Because digital music is stored in files when you record music from your computer to a player or a CD, all you need to do is burn the music to the CD or copy and paste the file to your MP3 player.
What you need when recording digital music on home PC
You need a recording software that will allow you to rip or burn music from your PC to the CD. You also need a computer that meets basic specifications.
What specs your home PC should have to accommodate digital music recording software
Basic specs for digital recording of music will require a PC with Windows Professional 64 bit or Windows Vista Unlimited 64 bit. An Acer = 4000+ AMD 64 Athlon x2 processor with Dual core 4 gigs of ram is a good example of a PC that can do the job with ease.
