Hi John.
Like another member suggested yesterday, most of these recorders record a
file for you and that's all.
What you do with that file is up to you.
You may wish to make it quieter, slower, faster , louder or add some thing
like a small echo or you may simply wish to maximise all the tracks to be
the same volume, etc.
You achieve these things by using something like Goldwave.
I do this kind of stuff all the time and as recently as Friday night of last
week I recorded a 45 singer choir onto such a recorder and came home with my
digital recording.
But then the technical work really started
I had to load it into Goldwave and make some of the improvements that I
listed above.
I ended up with a high quality recording that you simply cannot get on a
stand alone hand-held digital recorder.
Once on the computer I was also able to burn my work onto a CD for the
group, which is to be used in a television advertisement.
I could not do this without some experience of digital editing on a
computer.
So if this is what you want to do, then that is the way to do it.
Hope this helps.
Andy.

Subject: Question about LS-14 digital recorder
Hi. I listened to Neil Ewers' excellent podcast on the Sony LS-14 recorder.
I'm thinking of getting the recorder but I have one question. Is there a way
of varying the playback speed? I often record meetings to take minutes and
I'd like to speed up playback. I didn't hear anything about that in Neil's
podcast. Thanks. John
