Audacity Forum

If he doesn't know Audacity, he should know the Windows "Sound Recorder" program. Audacity can use the same sound services as are used by Sound Recorder, so if your guy can get Sound Recorder to record and play back correctly, then we should be able to tell you how to get Audacity 1.3.12 w...

Audacity is not connected with SUPER in any way. However, I have used SUPER for years, and still use it. SUPER is definitely a "quirky" application, but it is also one of the most comprehensive media format conversion tools available for Windows, and probably the most comprehensive FREE co...
