Thank you very much for your welcome <smile>

I don’t think anyone is doubting for one second what can be done but there are 
some points which the original sender of the mail in the discussion brought up 
which are worth mentioning again.

Audacity is free and that’s good, we all like free software however where’s the 
support when you need it?

I’ve seen people on this list and many other struggling and bemoaning Audacity 
sometimes so what do they do then? Of course they can search Google if they 
want and nothing wrong with that as I’ve done the same thing many times 
<smile>, they can go looking for a tutorial and just how many of those are 
around.

On the other hand they can purchase a product like Total Recorder and there’s 
the Tech support and knowledge base right in front of them.

Your point is well made, we’re talking about 2 very different products given 
the fact that Audacity does multi track editing but I still think the point 
made about Audacity originally was perfectly valid.
