[Hidden-tech] Making audio recordings

[Will Loving]

Hey David,

There's a great "Reader's Report" on Macintouch on Audio Recording with an
enormous amount of good information.

http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/audiorecording/index.html

Also, I've only spent a small amount of time working in it, but Apple's
"Soundtrack Pro" application is a wonderful audio editor. It's far easier to
use and much less quirky that Audacity, which is to be expected since
Soundtrack is a commercial product and an Apple on at that.
