I use it on Mac, Windows and Linux. It's free, and it certainly does have the ability to slow down recorded audio. It's replaced Cool Edit on my Windows machine as the primary software for manipulating recorded files (although I agree with Russ that Total Recorder is the best *recording* software).

Re: [IRCA] Recording software ( was 'rant' )
Better re-check their website: to buy a licensed copy of Goldwave will cost you $50 Canadian (about $45 US they say). They do have a free demo. A highly regarded totally free recording & editing package that's simple to use is Audacity which you can find at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ . It has quite a following these days, and supports the PC, Mac and Linux. Chuck -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul B.

That sound card is mounted inside the back of the PC. It will have some receptacles on it, fairly close together, usually in a line. At minimum it should have 'line input' which is where you run a jack from the receiver audio output; a 'mic input' and an output for phones.
