So I use "audacity" for my recording and mixing. It was free to download. However, I have run into some problems when it comes to recording...especially bass. Low bass almost never gets recorded right onto audacity, and that kills some of my more bass-heavy songs. Does anyone know of any other free musice programs that are more flexible, or just plain better than Audacity (I'm a student so I have very limited income). I will be your friend if you tell me about new free mkusic recording programs.

i doubt your symptoms have anything to do with audacity, but i could be wrong.
I haven't used it to record, so I'm not sure. but...I just saw a new version of audacity released today. you might want to check if that is a bug fix.
it shouldnt be anything to do with audacity.
its more likely to be your microphone or soundcard or maybe the recording is fine and it just sounds like crap on your speakers?? or maybe you recorded it wrong somehow. I thought Adobe Audition was free at one time, until i checked out their website frequently, gotta pay for that sucker. Its an over-all good program though, you may want to check that out.
i think audition was free when it was called cool edit, and i'm pretty sure you can still find it out there somewhere.
i've heard really good things about Reaper, which is a multitracker made by the guys who designed winamp. I agree with everasmah et al., audacity is not your problem.
1. poor Soundcard. 2. Bad source of bass to begin with 3. Perceptional difference, your external gear may be louder than your computer when you play both back through your mixer/amp If you can't fix your soundcard/mic, etc... then go over to link and look for bass enhancing plugins
there are plednty of free enhancer VSTs that'll help "restore" (really, recreate) low-end on your recordings. Check out Kristal Audio Engine. Free multitrack program can host VST fx on the tracks as well
