Music has been a wonderful thing in our daily life. People could get in touch with those they even don't know through a wonderful song. There is no boundary of music. We could get music online, purchase music from various music stores, and even create our own music and upload to various sites. 

Quite recently, one of my friends asked me about music recording software. He is a beginner of learning how to sing. He wanted to record his own voices, but lacked of music recording tools. So I had the chance to get a research online to find out what the best music recording software apps are. Therefore, I'm here to share my searching results. The below are 5 best music recording software apps you could use to record your own voice, computer music, online audio, etc. 

Music Recorder

The Music Recorder is a professional music recording software program that could record any sound it could capture, including computer audio, built-in input audio, online stream audio, etc. It could record music from microphone, YouTube, Facebook, movies, etc. It has a built-in recording task scheduler, which allows you to schedule music recording by setting the start time and duration for off-hand recording. The key features of this Music Recorder are that it could automatically download and add music tags, support manual music tag editing, one-click operation to apply recordings to iTunes, etc. The recorded music files would be saved in either MP3 or WAV format.

MixPad Multitrack Recording Software

NCH's MixPad Free is a studio-quality music mixing app that integrates with a variety of audio tools that, like this version of MixPad, are free for non-commercial use. It differs from the usual mixing software in that it doesn't try to look like a studio console but rather uses an easy-to-understand, drag-and-drop layout that takes its visual cues from Explorer and Office. It rips and edits audio clips, samples tracks, changes pitch, adds effects like beats and reverb, and supports low-latency recordings for best audio quality.
