Hi Guixers,

In order to record a song with my laptop, which programs are useful?

I found audacity and audacious.

Audacious is a player.

If you just want to record a few tracks from audio input with minor
cutting and arranging afterwards, try Audacity. For a more ambitious
project, use Ardour.

I’m using obs. It’s surprisingly good for recording.

Best wishes,

Hi,
I have to write in English, so that everybody can understand it.

I tried OBS and it worked.
I attached two microphones, one for the guitar (red one), and a blue one 
for my voice. Both microphones are connected with usb to the laptop.

My problem is now that, if after recording a song, I want to play it, to 
listen to it, but the voice is quite silent. How can I increase the 
sound (to get it louder).
Do I have to adjust it in the OBS? If yes, how?
If not, what else can I do?

May be I have to use a audiointerface/DAW Didital Audio Workstation?

To play and adjust it, you can use audacity. That’s what audacity excels
at. If you want to re-do the recording, you can adjust the input volume
in obs (to minimize post-processing losses).

Just open the recorded file with audacity. You can split the stereo
track, then you can process both tracks individually.

Best wishes,
Arne
