for reccording i used to have a desktop; nowadays i only have a laptop; i also use a samson C1U microphone; and of course i use audacity, wich is freeware (reccording programm for apple or microsoft) actualy i never have an idea of what i want to record, i simply start the tape, produce some sounds, and go where the music (sound) takes me; these reccordings were made with all the love in my heart… enjoy
