Lew - to be honest - the part in the Audio where you Shift and make extra noise - you may NOT be able to Get rid of that. You may need something more sophisticated than Audacity. I actually have it - although - have barely touched it. Was going to try and use it to make recordings from Audio Tape and help cut up into sound tracks and make separate MP3 files. But, never spent much time trying...

I just recorded a lecture with my android phone, leaving the thing sitting in my lap the whole time. The result is a very faint, marginally understandable speaker plus very loud interruptions from when I shifted my legs etc... So now I'd like to edit it into something useful. A friend recommended the Audacity program which looks great, but the problem is, among all the features, I still don't know what I want to do since since I'm totally new at this and unfamiliar with the terms and lingo. -Lew Schwartz --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/E58CBABF4AED4DCBBE2440777F66B857@Programming2 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
