Hi: Audacity is a mult-track recorder. You have seperat files for each
track, guitar, avoice, drums etc... you can record each seperatly and edit
each seperatly. Then you can save them all as one file. Goldwave only works
on one file. You might have a standard mp3 audio file you can edit but you
can not edit the individual tracks that made up the file originally - only
the whole combined mp3 file. Goldwave is easier to use me thinks and is
accessible with Windoweyes out of the box, at least the key shortcuts I use
work. I am not at all sure about Audacity since I have not tried it.

But how does it compare with goldwave where editing is concerned?

Audassity is a free program because it is an open source program. Similar to
NVDA screen reader.

OK but then why is Audacity a free programme?
I know that it is multitrack but does it have the same kind of audio
editing facilities as goldwave for example?

Sorry, must contradict the below.
I use Sound forge and Audio Studio to record what's going through the
sound card of my computers; not only that but skype conversations and
YouTube and
BBC streams at high quality. This has meant I don't need to move from
my
computer to get interviews with some local people as Skype recorded
via Sound forge does it very nicely.Streams as well.
All that is necessary to do this is to select the right input device
in the appropriate recording software's input/output settings. Of
course the mixer, (M Audio Delta for the most part in my case) has to
be set so that the output faders are right up, or nearly so. the
other faders will control levels of line input/ as well as SPDIF, and
line
and digital outs of the Delta card.
Much the same goes for the more humble and grotty on-board sound of my
other computer, but Sound Studio (and goldwave) will record what's
going through the sound card once the right input has been set.
That's often the tricky part and where people often come unstuck.
I agree whole heartedly though that goldWave and Total recorder are
very good, the latter if you aren't going to do a lot of editing. It
depends far more on your sound card, it's settings and the setup of
editing software - if that's what you are using. total Recorder
would, of course, make things much easier, as well as saving money.

Hi!
For the purposes of this discussion - as Lisa's asked a perfectly
valid question - I've changed the subject line to avoid confusion.
Yes products like Goldwave, Sound Forge, Total Recorded, Audacity and
Wavepad have the ability to record from at least the input or multiple
audio input hardware sources of a computer and that's where Total
Recorder is different, this software has the purpose built ability to
record any audio which is coming in and out of a Windows computer and
this includes software streams such as Internet broadcasts, Skye
chats, streams of audio being played by another application such as
Winamp or Windows media player and so on, to my knowledge software
such as Sound Forge, Goldwave, audacity and Wavepad cannot "capture"
this type of audio so that's where Total Recorder comes into its own.
As to what you want or need? Well that's a personal choice, you may
find yourself buying one or more applications for your use, Total
Recorder for example is excellent! for the person who wants to
"Record" audio, with its built-in tools and flexibility it can't be
beaten and the Professional edition has a good built-in audio editor
to boot. On the other hand of you're thinking abut doing audio
editing which requires the precise manipulation of sound they you may
have to go for a piece of software with better editing capabilities
such as Sound Forge or Goldwave, I personally recommend Goldwave over
Sound Forge and I've documented a lot of my reasons why on this list.
The really great thing is that you can get both Total Recorder and
Goldwave - in other words a great recording and a great editing tool -
for well under a hundred dollars, armed with these 2 pieces of
software you'll have most of what you'll ever require for manipulating
sound on your computer, burning sound to CD and so on.
The primers I gave a link to on the Total Recorder web site can be
adapted to other applications in the main because the steps outlined
are pretty straight forward though some may not apply to different
applications as outlined above.

Hi,
My name is Lisa and I'm new to this list: I have one quick question
couldn't you also do the same with gold wave as total recorder.
Suppose someone wants to record from the victor stream instead of
using a tape player could you get the same results from both pieces
of soft wear? Or is one better than the other?
thanks'
Lisa

Hi everyone!
I response to a question from Steve yesterday regarding recording
Skype conversations, Googletalk etc, I know he wasn't exactly
talking about those pieces of software but the link to the following
tutorial on the Total Recorder web site should help with most audio
chat applications. For those who record audio - whether it be from
the net or from a tape deck - I would certainly recommdn the
Professional edition of Total Recorder to be in your application
toolbox.
