Please don't take this personally but, isn't that taking a rather narrow view of things? "Recordings" might not have instantaneous sound but use of Audacity i...

@Steve, @Gale, Would there be any advantage, either now or at some point in the (near?) future, in my offering my services as a "beta tester" for these plug-ins?

I don't use "Timer Recording" but from following this, and other, topics on the forum, I get the impression it is intended to be used for "unattended recording". That being the case, and assuming the recording has been set up correctly, doesn't that imply th...
