Hey guys, do you know of a program where I can record myself singing? I don't currently know what program could do that... (I have some way but it's harder to do) so do you know any? And I mean free programs. =P
Singing Program?

Audacity is a pretty good program from what I know. It's just awkward that you need a program to sing on...
That's the program I used. =Pcookieboy17 said:
But idk how to record if with music though... Well, other than combining them both, but that's silly.
Idk then, I know macs have garageband I don't know if Windows has a similiar program or not.
Windows doesn't. But combining the two is the only way I know how to do it. Whether my beat gets smashed by a third party 
, or it sounds OK quality wise, but it's garbage either way.

IDK there's a free program to combine the instrumental and the voice together. Combining is possible if you align them. Be sure to normalize your singing (I tend to spike in the lower end when I voiceover) before combining.
I thought GarageBand was for making music, not providing accomp. >_>

FruityLoops mixed with Cool Edit Pro is your best shot. I used to make a s***ton of beats all the time and these never failed me.
I'm not sure how aligning the vocal track with the instrumental is silly, it's done all the time. You could use ANY sound manipulating program, even Sound Recorder right on your own computer.
I use Ableton, so if I ever needed to record a vocal track, I would listen to the instrumental and sing along into the mic so both could be separated for later (say, for mixing or remixing).
A good thing to know is using a compression effect on the voice after you've sung it, and to have a good mic. If you're really aiming for something professional sounding, make sure to add a bit of reverb as well (or a lot if you really want to) as it makes it sound more natural.

Or you could just get a dynamic mic. =P
But yeah, align/combine the tranks, compress/normalise, and add reverb where needed. (Don't overdo it or you'll get audio clipping).
