The amplifier that I use is putting out a smooth track to the headphones jack that I am using. So you are using the Mic-In on the side of the Windows laptop? The headphone jack pushes sound out to your headphones, it doesn't accept sound from an amplifier. If that's really what you're doing, then y...

That's a good one. We can probably think of about a hundred different ways to obscure the track, but none that let you unobscure it later. Koz

We quickly found out that VOC files stink. Probably in the right place, but why do you think they stink? That gets our attention because the quality of the sound is never going to get any better than the capture. You can't open a ratty voice file in Audacity and magically have it sound like Glenn G...
