Hi.. which module should i use if i want to make a multi track music application recorder?

the features I need..

* I desire to record from the sound card input.
* option to play while recording..
* at least 16 tracks ability..


Ive might have asked a similar question long time ago..

Also which GUI is the most recommended for this under blitzmax?

TY

I would roll my own gui as that is what is expected with desktop audio applications and use portaudio (available as bah module) which I think opens up possibility for ASIO driver support because on Windows all other drivers suck.

For an app I would use monkey as using a touch interface on a mobile device for music is a lot more cooler and popular than sitting bent over a desktop pushing a mouse around.

I would use monkey2 because having a cool 3d visualiser at the top of a music app is cool and monkey2 will have 3D before the end of the year.
