[sdiy] Sound recording program advice ???

[Jay Schwichtenberg]

Harry,

I would have recommended Cool Edit also.

BUT!

Syntrillium has been bought out by Adobe and it's been discontinued. Shame
it was a good little package and they had a set of plug-ins for audio
restoration.

Might check into GoldWave at www.goldwave.com. It's $40 and has some
restoration stuff for it. Don't know if it's XP compatable though. But that
probably won't be a problem for you.

Jay
