Here at RipChord Studios, I’ve always used n-Track for my recording software. It’s a multi-track recording program that will record as many tracks as your computer will handle. It works great and is one of the cheapest programs available.

It was created by a guy in Italy, Flavio Antonioli. He does a great job of supporting it, fixing bugs, and implementing feedback from users.

Years ago, I think it was when we went from version 2 to version 3, I had a problem. The new version wouldn’t open files created with the previous version. I sent him an email about the problem, not sure if anything would come of it or not. Not only did I get a reply very soon, but attached to the email was a new build of the program that fixed the problem!

We’re on version 5 by now. I’ve recorded several albums with it: “Purpose” from AHQ, “A Heart Like Yours” from Heartbeat, an upcoming release from my buddy Pete, and of course the stuff from Acoustic Persecution. I’ve also done quite a bit of live stuff using it on my laptop.

I recently emailed Flavio again, requesting a small feature. He emailed me back saying he would add it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll add the button in the next version of the program.

Best regards,
Flavio Antonioli.

The big guns in the multi-track recording field are ridiculously high-priced. n-Track is cheap, it does what I need to do, and it does it well.
