Don, If you want scrubbing, check out WavePad from http://nch.com.au/wavepad/masters.html
WavePad is actually free unless you want or need the more advanced features of WavePad Masters edition. The free version does a lot though so don't be fooled by the free part of it. The free version definitely does scrubbing with your arrow keys, and a lot more. Give it a try. This program in my opinion does not fit into the "you get what you pay for" category. If you want batch processing, regions, and multiple book marks, then you might want to pay for the Masters edition. The free trial download has all of the Masters edition enabled for 14 days and then turns into the free version. --Best regards, --Rick Alfaro [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Donald L.

You cannot read the VU meter when recording; or at least, on my system the reading is usually 0. And, 2. There is no true scrub feature. Other than these two, it is a super program. In fact, I have both Goldwave and Total Recorder and use each, but for different purposes. For example, I record NLS books at four times normal speed and then use Goldwave's playback rate modification feature to make at play at the correct speed.
