Got a question..............

[Ray Montee (RIP)]

After using Sound Forge for ten years and it's now expired with respect to my Win-8 o/s......

I've been attempting to work with Audacity but am encountering overwhelming obstacles.

Anyone here using it? Do you like or not?

What kind of problems are you having? I've been using it on and off for years. I've had nothing but good luck and results with it. I would have to say as DAW's go it's a 8 out of 10

I appreciate the help each of you have offered, and particularly Russ Wevers' referral to the Audacity Tutorials.

THAT was the answer I was seeking so desperately.
THANK YOU!
