Hi All,
I was wondering if any of you know of a simple, accessible and free sound recording program. All I want to do is record stuff without sound recorder making me press play every time a minute passes by. Nothing simple like editing or anything like that, although I wouldn't mind that, if it exists. Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated. I really want something, and so far the goods ones I've heard of, like Sound Forge and Gold Wave, cost, and I don't really wanna pay like a lot of money if I'm just gonna record simple stuff, once in awhile.
Thank you so much!
Caitlin
sorry, i've no idea. it is good if anyone can tell. i'm searching for it as well.
well, goldwave, yeah, you do have to pay, but it is so good...and I dunno how much it costs...but I can tell you it's goooooooooooood!
Okay, thanks, Alison! And Season, too, for posting lol. Anyone else have any ideas? Thanks!
Caitlin
I heard that sound forge, is better then gold wave, witch has less features.
Yeah my blindie friend has Sound Forge and loves it, I've heard they're both good. But Sound Forge is like seventy bucks lol! And I"m not wasting that much money because I'll only record and do nothing fancy teehee. I've hold Goldwave is only like thirty right guys? Not sure.
Thanks though Keao.

Hey why don't you look up Cdex on downloads.com? Not only can you rip CD tracks with it, but you can record stuff with it. You can even record them directly in to MP3 format. Take a look at it. It's completely free.
Thanks to Maddog and RR, I am happily using CDex! Thanks guys!
Caitlin
well whenever I like a program, err, I always go and search for a rack... yes, yes, very bad for you! But you still get free stuff. I have not found any for studio recorder yet, which is excellent for editing but costs like 80 or 90 dollars.
sorry I ment crack
I use Gold Wave only for converting because of a flaw in recording that we found. For recording I use Total Recorder from High Criteria. It has to versions. The free version allows for like up to 45 seconds of recording, and you can record into almost any format. Any format I'd use anyways, and the other version only costs $12 and is unlimited recording. I personally love it.
Hmmm sounds interesting. What is the URL where i can check it out, and is it accessible and fairly simple? Sounds interesting.
Caitlin
Yes. It is fairly simple and very accessible. The URL is: http://www.highcriteria.com
there are some scripts available at www.jfwlite.com
Thanks guys. I'll check it out!
Caitlin
HI, I use gold wave, and I'm unable to figure out the program it's quite frestraighting. I obtained a legal copy and reccomend it for thoughs of you who want to do a lot of converting, but as far as simple stuff goes, I'm sure it's great, but I have no idea how to use it, I'm needing help with it so if anyone is there who is willing to go through with it with me, I'd appreciate it. thanks, ray! oh and is cdex accessible to jaws?
Yep it sure is, so I've heard! i have WIndow-Eyes myself, and it sure works with that!
Caitlin
Hey I think there are some Goldwave classes on FTP (For the People) if you wanna check those, I downloaded them but haven't been through them. And yeah I know this thread is old, sorry. lol
BTW does TotalRecorder let you put in times to start recording? That's the only thing I'm missing, recording on cue. sigh
I use audacity, handybits voicemail, and cdex. And all are free!
Troy
Where did you get the first two, Troy?
Caitlin
I can't remember the site for audacity but the rest I got from www.jfwlite.com
