Resources
Hokusai is a very comfortable app. It is like audacity, which is used by a lot of teachers. It is free and very easy to use. You don’t need cables or external mike. It’s easy to record or import a track, and make it sound awesome: not just trimming the ends, but full cut, copy, paste and delete and a suite of filters and special effects.
