Re: Digital recording software
Hi Rob and list, Thanks to everyone who offered me advice. I have since downloaded GoldWave's latest version. I am also looking at their Multiquence program. Is it accessible to WE users?

The program is downloadable as a demo from http://www.goldwave.com/ This will enable you to experiment pretty thoroughly with the software before you make a decision as to whether to buy it. It will give you about 3 thousand keystrokes before you are prompted to buy the licensed copy or to uninstall the demo version. When I purchased Goldwave several months ago I paid $49 US which I regard as a very good value for its abundance of sound editing and reprocessing features.

For even better JAWS interface I also commend you to get and install the Goldwave JAWS scripts developed by Jim Grimsby. They are free and easily installed by simply copying the 18 files into the JAWS settings folder. The scripts come in a zip file. The Lame MP3 encoder is also available on the Goldwave web site and will be needed if you want to record in or change your sampling rate to 44.1 KHz, the sampling rate required to enable production of an audio CD if you wish to do this. Lastly, I have experienced the Goldwave help file to be very easily navigable and easy to use as a learning resource. If you use other screen readers such as Window-Eyes or SAM or NVDA I must defer to those experienced users. Have fun with the brave world of audio production, whatever audio package you decide to get.

Re: Digital recording software
Hi, If you enjoy GoldWave, please do consider purchasing at least the one year license, which is only $19. I did this today, and I sure don't regret it. Expect some podcasts to come from me smiles.

Re: Digital recording software
Hi, Johnny, Chris, and listers. I would also encourage purchasing at least a one year license for Goldwave, although I purchased the fully licensed copy for only $49. By the time I took that decision I was well on my way to learning most of its basic operations after working with the trial version. The only problem was that JAWS would crash after about 20 minutes of normal operation. Thanks to Rick Harmon, host and producer of the Blind Geek Zone podcasts, the JAWS Goldwave conflict is now resolved by setting all possible video attributes to blank. This is done by pressing F11 which activates the user preferences dialogues. Then press ctrl+tab to go to Video Attributes to modify settings. BTW, I downloaded Goldwave Version 5.56 last night. So far so good. As for Multiquence, I have not tried it to know since I have not yet had occasion to work with digital video. I am curious to find out what others have experienced as to its screen reader compatibility. Johnny, if playing background music on a turntable or recorder is distracting to your wife while she is reading aloud, there is an alternative way to mix the music. If you have digital music on your hard drive or a memory stick you can mix it under the vocal track. The first step to mixing is to select an audio clip and paste it into Windows clipboard. Let me know if you want specifics on how to mix pre-recorded digital music. Chris, will your podcasts be on Blind Cool Tech? Please let us know when you have produced your first one as I will be eager to give it a listen.
