[Dixielandjazz] Free software for MP3 and recording was More on the Zoom H2 -

[Ric Giorgi]

Larry, check out Audacity freeware at 

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ 

Power Tracks Pro can record as well and you can use it to integrate
midi and audio but Audacity is very easy to use and you can save
(Audacity calls it "Export" to other formats). 

The reason I use Goldwave is that it saves too OGG VORBIS files
which are about 1/10 the size of wave files without losing any
quality and the doctoring and editing functions are amazing. 

Thanks for the tip on wavepad.

Best,

Thanks Rick - I have power tracks pro and really don't use it.
Isn't it 
really for midi and that sort of thing?  I guess I need to take a
closer 
look.

I downloaded a freebee called Wave Pad    www.nch.com.au/wavepad
that looks 
extremely promising.  There are about a dozen other things that
download 
with it that have a lot of uses too that range from audio ripping
and 
burning to setting up a virtual PBX phone system. You can even turn
your 
computer into a recorder with some of this software.   It's worth a
look.  I 
did some samples last night and this program will do more than my
Sony 
software.  The only drawback is that you can't see both channels at
the same 
time and it's too easy to convert to mono but using it a time or two
can 
work out the bugs.  I don't see this as a major problem if any at
all.
