Hello, Total Recorder is indeed very accessible, and is probably more so than GoldWave. Total Recorder, the professional edition at least, allows you to record, edit, process, and convert sound. Recording sources include your sound card's line in/microphone/"what you hear" input, as well as its own virtual device driver which captures exactly what's being sent to your sound card. Total Recorder supports many file formats, including PCM WAV, MP3, WMA, and, with plug-ins, OGG and WMV, for example. The Audio Restoration plug-in is similar to GoldWave's noise reduction feature, however I never really needed to use it so can't exactly say. You can download a fully functional evaluation copy, with the exception that a short portion of audible noise will be inserted into each new recording about every 1 minute, from www.totalrecorder.com. Hope this helps. -- Chris Hallsworth e-mail: christopherh40@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN: ch9675@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: chrishallsworth7266 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ibrahim Gucukoglu" <ibrahim_gucukoglu@xxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, March 14, 2009 4:19 PM Subject: [access-uk] Total recorder versus goldwave? Hi Everyone. I'm currently using goldwave for my audio editing and conversion needs, however Total Recorder has been recommended as an accessible alternative. If someone has used or uses both applications, could they please give me a rundown of the features of TR and if possible a comparison? Looking on the total recorder site, I also see a number of plug-in. One that caught my eye was the audio restoration function, however has anyone used this and if they have, what do you think of it? All the best, Ibrahim. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
