[IRCA] Great softwware tool (EXPStudio Audio Editor)

["Les Rayburn" <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's becoming increasingly important for DX'ers to be able to record audio 
directly on their computer. To reduce
size, and make it practical to e-mail out reports, it's also handy to be 
able to convert those files into compressed audio
files in formats like MP3. "Audio editing" is also helpful---being able to 
literally look at the audio waveform and edit
out everything except what you need.

For example, I have recordings of every logging in my book...reducing 
usually to just the legal TOH ID, or perhaps
a few minutes at most of format, along with legal ID.

A great tool for doing this is EXPStudio. It comes in both a free version 
(but it only saves in .wav format) and a very inexpensive $30 "Pro" version 
that will save files in any number of formats. You can also amplify those 
weak sounds, do some basic filtering, etc. It provides about 90% of the 
functions that Sony's Sound Forge 9.0 provides, for a small fraction of the 
cost.

It's available at:

Hope this helps!
