Re: [ARSCLIST] audio workstation help

[Steven Smolian <smolians@xxxxxxxxx>]

I too am a Sound Forge user.

Have you tried the Sound Forge web site and help line?   They are owned by
SONY now and the site has a whole new look.

Howver, the idea of playing back and recording an altered signal through the
same sound card may not be what either are designed to do.

It may be possible to do this on some the multi-track combos.  It just never
occured to me to try it this way.

As we speak-er-digitally communicate, I'm dubbing a problem record to tape
wher I can do things to it more conveniently that in the digital domeain.
Later, I'll get it onto the work station and continue with what IT does
best.

There are many ways of skinning the cat, some not approved by the ASPCA.
