Thanks Dane. I've been using Total Recorder for a while and agree with your comments. I've set up user windows to allow quick reading of the current position and total length, but nothing else.
High Criteria, who make Total Recorder, also make a similar but different product called Dictation Buddy. One of its features is being able to adjust speed while retaining pitch. Another is automatic stop and start during recording. I have downloaded a demo of Goldwave, but haven't installed yet. The latest beta of Audacity is interesting. Does anyone know how to either join tracks or stop and start a recording without starting a new track?

I'm probably just confirming what most list members know here. I purchased the Goldwave Audio Editor/recorder for $45.00 and I have to say that if anything ought to be put into my "value for money" basket then this application goes straight to the top. The product (thus far at any rate) was accessible right after installation, no scripts required, no need to write set files and very little tweaking thus far. For those of you who already use Goldwave, you'll already know that the developers have gone out of their way to make Goldwave interact and accessible with Screen reading software, that's what the manual says anyway and I've no argument with that thus far. All commands are intuitive and well thought out. I've heard some people say that Goldwave isn't a "professional sound editor"? Well its like everything else, if you sit down and learn the software then there's no reason whatever why you won't be able to do what the so called "professional sound editors" do with audio and actually, you'll probably be able to accomplish your editing tasks much quicker because Goldwave seems to be totally accessible and with a well thought out manual to boot. The next great "value for money" piece of audio software I'd like to comment on is Total Recorder, I may have mentioned this before. Version 7.0 is now out and (whilst there are many advancements) accessibility is still good, a few tweaks may need to be made but they're few and far between and they're mainly to do with the labelling of buttons, graphics and check boxes. Total Recorder v7 is $40.00 ***************************** Dane Trethowan >From Melton Victoria Australia mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] PHONE: +613 8732 9237 Fax: +613 9743 7954 mobile: +61 418 773 5532 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: callto:grtdane12 ****************************** If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
