Second,

unfortunately I do not have much experience with Goldwave. I can say that I found Audacity fairly easy to use and I know that several people in my office have used it, including some of the non-technical folks. It is a free download (open source as well) so it is probalby worth a look.

Hi Palehorse,
How is Audacity different than Goldwave in ease of use? I ask because I am not tech savy and would like to have a stream lined process available to put together a presentation for an upcoming conference. Any ideas on how to make this process as “painless as possible?

Thank you for your time and kindness. Craig

Hiya second,

Basically I like Audacity as an audio editor, which is it’s role. You can use it fairly easily to record audio as well. Depending on your setup your quality will vary of course. If you have nice mic’s going into your computer, or better yet through a decent mixer, you’ll get great audio that you can then manipulate as necessary.

I’m not sure what else you are looking for. I hope that helps.

Thank you for your thoughts. I am looking for a voice recording software that is free and easy to use to record presentations. Please give me an update per your experience with Audacity to date. Thank you my friend and have a pleasant day. Craig
