This programme is free for the basics and comes with guitar bits, drums, synths, etc already pre-loaded. You can then add your own files (apparently) by downloading them and putting them into the correct directory.

I thought Pro Tools Free was still available. Depending on how good your sound card is then you might be better getting a new audio interface or card which has 1/4" inputs. You'll get better quality recordings and many interfaces come with basic DAW software such as Cubase LE.0

Did you try, it downloads for me!
Me too, always worth giving it a try, I've found that quite often online download offers etc will last a while after their expiry date."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"
