Quake3World

Got a friend with a computer quite new and he wants to know if he can record sound onto the computer and write to a cd.

The onboard sound does have recording ability, but I'm not sure how to do it. Windows XP Home.

I assume you just record to a folder on the computer. But when you start recording, does it give you that option or do you have to do something to tell it what youre doing?

google for audacity. great freeware recording program.

Thanks for the link

I meant the name of the site, not the lack of a direct link. I was being sincere.


However, my friend downloaded some Midis from the Net and wants to be able to play them as background music with singing to be recorded. He says that he gets "error parsing midi file" when he trys it. Could it be a bad file or does Audacity not support midis? If not, is there one that does?

Audacity only works with sampled files ie; .wav, .mp3. .ogg, etc

no midi playback, only for visual studying of the data. apparently it will support midi playback in future releases.

if you want to try a trial version of another great editing program, try Goldwave

do a google for cubase, and get the cubase sx 3 trail.

I tried goldwave, but I cant find where it plays midis. I have midis on my drive, but goldwave doesnt seem to support them inless Im looking in the wtrong place.

I found a program that converts midis to .wav or whatever, but it doesnt seem to work. Called ease midi converter.
