Audacity Forum

And you have got me on a hobbyhorse as I never liked this background - it isn't a colour that's part of our logo, as Vaughan once pointed out. The only color from the logo that you could give to the header background would surely be the inner red flash - otherwise you would lose either the blue/bla...

Treasures, some further thoughts: I'm sure that as you are an archivist I may not need to make some odf these points, ignore those you are familair with, other readers may benefit in the future. 1) Before recording the tapes, I would recommend a full wind to the end of the tape and then back again -...

Treasures, I wrote one of the reviews in the soundcard link that Koz provided you with above. I have been using the Edirol UA-1EX on my two Windows machines (XP-HE and XP-PRO) for a couple of years now to transcribe my LP and tape collection - with very good results - my objective is listening not a...
