Perhaps I am missing something; however, are we talking about changing the sampling rate; or, are we talking about changing the playback rate, whatever it is called? I ask because with Goldwave, I can record an NLS cassette playing at 3.5 inches per second (which is four times the playback rate). I will record with Goldwave using a bit rate of 64 khz. Then when I playback that recording with Goldwave, I change the playback rate to 16 KHZ and the recording plays at the normal speed. With total recorder, I do not have this option. I love Total Recorder but prefer Goldwave in this instance.
One little foot note. With recent versions of Goldwave, I no longer see the V U meter as I did in previous versions. Conversely, Total Recorder's V U meter is wonderfully accessible. So my point is that I use different sound editors contingent on the task at hand. By the way, if you have it, studio recorder is also an excellent audio editor. Some folks love Sound Forge, but I have always felt it is over priced although it has a lot of features.
