Need free/cheap software to do this....

[bobbykokinos]

For the life of me I cant find something easy to use, and cheap, that I can toss in a drum loop, loop it, play a few chords on top of that loop and loop that, then be able to record me playing along with it afterwards... I was messing with FruityLoops but its WAY too complicated for what I want to do.

Any help?

Try Audacity.

Try Audacity.

Tried it but I cant layer loops.. Say I load in a drum loop on the first track.. I cant have that repeat while I play on top of it.. I have to paste that loop on to the end of it over and over again..

If that makes any sense..

I need some like that too. My teacher's got this cool device that's abouth the size of an effects pedal and can lay down great grooves, you can add instruments like guitar, keys, horns, etc and play over some changes you program or the presets. I'm sure it's pretty expensive, tho

Let me know if you find anything

Download the freeware version of Acid. You can't export a finished composition more than 20 times, but you can use Audacity or other software to capture the audio as it's played.
