Hey, thanks Rob and B.K. - Thanks for the input. I have been having fun with the Sound Studio. Ward at Mactown, when I was up there and told him I wanted to record my voice for posterity, downloaded it and I have been reciting poetry al over the place, sending it to most of my German friends, I still have a few tryouts before I have to make up my mind. I do like it, though. I also did read all!!?? about Audacity - where do you put the stress? Are they audacious to do this software or is it an auda- City ( maybe audible city - wonder who came up with this idea) - Yes, there were bugs that crashed the Mac and there are still some with some plug-ins I read,. And there is a lot to learn about all these plug-ins, but what is good, they tell you an enormous amount of stuff, what the software does, can do, cannot do. I downloaded it and just took a peak, but am too far gone mentally at this time of day to look at all the buttons. They are swimming before my glassy vision. Thanks, Rob for tellng me I don't need a CD. And two tracks should be enough for my purpose. I don't think I shall ever have a garage band in my house, unless some of you musicians will come over and we will record "The Bridge over troubled Waters" with me supplying the aged ( tremulous which I hate ) soprano as well as coffee and something more robust.
