A couple of 10 year olds - Audacity

[thebarguest]

Hi Andrew !

Sorry about the late response, but .....

I've used Audacity for a few years now to rip from cassettes and edit, amplify etc.

I've never experienced 'digital skips' (whatever they are) with Audacity. The only areas where Audacity falls down are treble-boost and noise/hiss-reduction - both are do-able but a bit messy and hit-and-miss ......

I've heard that Magix Audio is very good ......

Given that mp3 is already a heavily compressed format and the file sizes aren't really any smaller when zipped or rar-ed, I wonder if it is really worth zipping them up?
