Audacity Forum

Thanks, guys! I feel I can bring quite a bit of useful info to our group now. Greatly appreciate all the help you've provided running the viability of this option down.

ok, is it the blue one that's for stereo input, typically? I'll look into sound cards first chance I get. thank you, steve

Well, all that's about the reaction I had when this was originally suggested. I wouldn't use one either and I can well imagine the hassle of trying to get inept users on lousy PCs moving toward even one single finished song. ....HOWEVER, I'm not going to abandon this sows ear solution altogether. Co...

by the way, I really like the blankets over the toms notion. I did not know about that. Must also agree, starting with a poor sounding kit in a marginal space sure makes it tough.

So you're saying just recycle the old computers. There is no Audacity version I can use on them with Linux or say Windows2000 that's relatively trouble free?

Any advice on saving Vegas Pro files?

SV btw... thx for help

Koz, Thanks for the info. Sounds like I'll do windows for now and download version 1.3.12. I started on a Mac in the 90's but needed to work with architects and engineers so had to go with what they were using. PC's... At some point soon.... I'd like to give some older computers away to my penny-les...
