I haven't tried anything intense with it -- such as multitrack recording/editing mixing, dj what have you.. As such I don't know whether or not it is suitable. I recall chatting with the developer of another multitrack recorder s/w a number of years ago; he did not think linux was up to snuff for that, and I tried to convince him otherwise. A lot has to do with sound card buffers and how fast your computer is. the idea is to record n tracks of audio directly on the hard drive. broadcast 2000 I think was the software, I think it is still around, and perhaps will work OK now. I haven't tried it in a very long time. Much of what I do with audacity has been to clean up and edit wav files after I record them. Audacity will record on the fly but it took some doing to get it to record in stereo. The newer versions allow you to do that but you have to configure it to do so. For my needs, it works well, most of the time. the basic task -- recording audio live from the net (radio station show), editing it, publishing it as an .mp3 on usenet and burning it to a cd to listen to on the bus. (well, audacity won't do that, of course) :). I misssed last night's show, though. In case anyone's wondering, "Schickele mix" by mr. p.d.q. bach himself :) from pri. in 9.0 etc., audacity was problematic in that there were permission difficulties all over the place. I had to run the thing as root (I know, bad idea) just to get it to edit. Beware, audio files in native audacity form eat up large portions of your hard drive. I've just now am working from cooker 9.2 beta 1 and i'm getting back all the thnngs i need. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
