I started out multitracking 16 tracks on a 667 MHz Pentium 2 , and an
ATA66
drive. It had to be defragged pretty frequently, though.

My first audio machine was a 33MHz 486 with a Turtle Beach Multisound and
SAW software. I could just about manange to play 3 16bit/44.1kHz stereo
tracks with no dropouts - as long as I didn't want any real time volume
changes. Moving up to a 66MHz 486 gave me 4 stereo tracks and all the
volume changes I wanted.

I've also recorded 16 mono 16bit/44.1kHz tracks on a 233MHz PentiumII with
an RME Hammerfall card and Cool Edit Pro. I successfully played them back
into a stereo output but they didn't seem to like being sent to individual
outputs.

For basic recording of stuff intended for CD I quite like using CDWave
which is free and does what it does very well.

Cheers

James.

Registering makes it shareware? Is there a cost to this registration?

This says something about paying...do you have to pay for CD Wave after
the 30 days. You look it up. I don't want to.

No. No malware. I've been using CDWave for years--and I paid for it. Is
there anything wrong with it? Generally speaking, no, although there are a
few places where it could be more friendly.

The main problem with CDWave is that it works only with .wav files. To edit
mp3s, I use mp3DirectCut, but this latter doesn't show the entire file at
once like CDWave does. Another alternative is WaveRepair--also shareware.

As far as I know, there is no freeware that will show the entire file at
once, and will allow fine editing at the same time.

Wave Repair is a little different story - some of the features are free:

functions are free

"If you only want to use Wave Repair for hard disk recording and track
splitting, it can be considered "freeware". There is no need to be
register it in this case. (You will, of course, have to put up with the
"unregistered copy" nag screen when the program starts up)."

No it has no malware. Sorry...this was mainly a dig on Susan Bug-her. She
posted about malware in a program I posted about recently which set off
this newest flame war. Pricelessware Goons under her leaderlessship has
tried to maintain dominance in this NG, and assault anyone who doesn't
cater to it. The Goonies are their little drive-by flammers who contribute
little.

Doesn't Audacity do that?

and is totally free open source software.
