Q: What is the best music recording software?

I have been using Wiretap Studio to record my Sibelius compositions for years. It stopped working the other day. I wrote the developers, who said it's no longer compatlble, and they have no plans to upgrade. So, I'm looking for a good music recording program that doesn't cost a fortune. "Lossless" is good (no reduction in quality). An equalizer would be nice, too. Got to have it by next week, because I sing to my own stuff and got some programs coming up, I have tried Garageband, and find it hard to understand. Probably my fault, not GB's. Need something simple, preferably with an interface like a hand-held recorder. Don't need lots of bells & whistles. Using MacBook Pro, OS X 10.10.2. Thanks.

    OK. To make "... music [come] intenally from [your] Mac ...", you must have a music (audio file format) somewhere on your Mac. Do this for me:

    • In the Finder, find a sample 'music' file (as if you were going to play it)
    • select it with a single click
    • press ⌘ Command + I ( i the letter ) to Get Info on the file
    • ⌘ Command + ⇧ Shift > Press ' 3 ' > release all three
      • this will save an image of your entire display to the Desktop with some filename (varies but likely a LONGdate + other stuff)
    • Use the camera tool above the compose pane to insert it into a reply

    EXAMPLE

    I then can look at all the file attributes and get my mind around this

     

    Bottom line... if it is a file already, there is no need to "PLAY" it and RE-record it. CONVERT the fileType MAYBE to get it to play in iTunes

     

    Tell me what you would do at "Showtime"... Play the song and Sing with? You have me guessing, amigo.
