Hi Danny. If you are unable to use Gold Wave for recordings on that computer then have you tried using CDEX. This will record straight onto the hard drive or on to an external hard drive. Unfortunately though, it isn't an audio editor so when you start the recording then stop it, the resulting file can't be manipulated. You can though do so with Gold Wave if you transfer the saved file to another PC or lap top that has Gold Wave. Walter

Thanks for your advice. Kevin, unfortunately copying in real time (which I gather is what you're suggesting) isn't an option for me due to its longevity, but the suggestion was appreciated. Also, I'm unable to put Goldwave on the laptop I'm borrowing, but have previously found it very helpful and will be going back to it when I get my new computer. Gary, thanks for your suggestions, but as I said I think such machines require the same discs as my stand alone recorder, so it wouldn't make any difference to me. I guess what I'm trying to find out is whether there's any machine (apart from computers, obviously) which record straight onto hard drives or SD cards, allowing you to conveniently shift files straight to a laptop without the need to record in real time or edit anything.
