A number of years ago I bought the ZOOM B3 multi-effects Bass pedal which came with a free version of Cuebass and Steinberg recording software for the computer. My OS was Windows 7 and that computer has since died.
I have a laptop running Windows 10 but it appears that the Cuebass and Steinberg software is not supported by windows 10.
My question, What is a Good and "reasonably" priced (not interested in shelling out several hundreds of dollars), Recording Software these days?
I'm looking to do basic editing and enhancement and also interested (if possible) at looking to seperate and edit tracks on previously Mastered recordings.
I've heard of GarageBand but have no experience with it.
Thanks

And I said:
Reaper is good, cheap, reliable, full featured, and does most of the things you mention quite well.

You cannot separate and edit tracks on previously mastered recordings, I'm not sure there is a way to do that period.

I was curious if there was a software that could remove a track for seperate editing. In the same fashion that Kareokee machines work...
I have some old recordings (early 90s) that suffer from a god-awful sounding mix. Would be nice to clean them up and enhance certain aspects...

There are some algorithms that "remove" the vocal track, with varying degrees of quality depending on the song. Most karaoke DJs have licensed karaoke CDs with instrumentals without vocals.

Like most things, probably someone knows something I don't know and I'm wrong... but as far as I know, there is no way to remix an already mixed stereo recording. You need the stems / individual tracks to remix something. A good mastering engineer can work wonders with multi-band compression, surgical EQ, and other tricks of the trade. But as far as "ride the vocal up here, change the bass sound, turn the overheads down on the drums"... nope.
