Hi Neal and all,
Thanks for the question, for sure!
I don't use it for talking books, but I do audio editing, so that's what
I use it for.
Let's hope everyone answers this question, because it would give APH
info on what the program is used most for.

Pete, it would be interesting to know the percentage of SR users who use it
for talking book preparation and those who use it to edit podcasts and other
audio. I know SR started out, and still is, directed to people who do
talking books, but what percent of people who use SR is this? Perhaps if the
percent of people who use it in other ways, APH should start thinking about
other possibilities. Of course, I have no clue what would be involved in
doing this. Would SR need to be totally re-written to do this. Only the
programmers know. And, if this is true, I can see why SR has stayed where it
is for a long time.
I also agree with your first point. If a person needs to have one
application to do all one wants to do and there are several out there, why
not learn them. And this may be exactly why SR has not gone there. If there
was nothing on the market , for example, to do Equalization, SR might have
gone there. But one could say, why bother, if lots of other accessible apps
can do this.
Just some thoughts to ponder.
Neal

Harry,
I agree with some of what you say and disagree with some other aspects.
First of all, you indicated that you don't have the time to work with other
programs. I would submit that if you have an important task to perform that
can't currently be done with SR then you need to make the time to learn to
use other programs with which the task can be completed. Otherwise you
really are wasting time by not getting the task completed. Unfortunately
there isn't always one "fits all" solution for tasks that we need to perform
in life, and I'm not only talking about audio production here. The most
effective people are those who have a variety of tools at their disposal and
choose from within their toolbox the best tool for the job at hand.
That being said, I also would like to see SR grow a bit. SR is not an
inexpensive program and, like other products, should be planned to grow
incrementally over the years by slowly adding new features as other products
do and not become stagnant. Yes, it would be a big job to overhaul
overnight, but SR has been around for a long time now and hasn't added any
new features that would keep up with modern audio production directions and
requirements. Even for podcast a multi-track capability is very useful. I
think people not only expect change and improvement these days, but folks
will undoubtedly take advantage of new capabilities to find opportunities to
use SR in interesting ways for novel projects they might not have even
thought of before.
So yes, I too would like to see SR start to move forward but having a number
of tools at your disposal that are accessible is indispensable.

Hi Pete, and all,
Here's the thing, the reason I brought this whole thing up is, I don't have
time in my day, like all of you do, obviously, to have to work with multiple
programs.
the world we live in, is fast, and it's going to get faster, and those who
do a task faster, will survive, and those who don't will not, in the world
of work.
I don't have hours, to use multiple programs.
SR has great key commands because of windows key commands.
It would be nice to have 1 program, to do all of what we all want to do, and
studio recorder, has the best keyboard commands to do things.
I here people out here, all the time, saying, "I'd like SR to ...," and
they're right, it needs to, and I will back those people up, every time.
Just because it's not designed to do something, doesn't mean, that it should
never be, because it should. If people settle for average, that's what we
get, if we settle for wasting time, using multiple programs, then we will
waste, time, that is a scarce resource today.

visually impaired person can use it. Thus it is natural that folks
would want to see some of these other features included that are
available in other less keyboard friendly applications. It would be
nice to see new features added occasionally and slowly built up over
the years as with most other applications. If folks don't want to use
the new features they don't have to, but the world and expectations
keep
On the other hand, as Neal points out, there will never be a single
application that will cover all audio needs for everyone. People use
multiple tools to perform the variety of specialty tasks involved in
complex audio production and that's just the way it is.
I also use SR along with Audacity and Sonar depending on the task at hand.
I too would like to see the ability to do multi-track recording and
include some effects in SR to make it more flexible in putting
together modern podcasts and other audio material.

Neal,
I agree. Studio Recorder was written to allow talking book producers
to record digital books. To do that, you don't need noise reduction,
multi-tracking, etc. Although I wish it had some equalizer capability,
I'm not disappointed if it never shows up.
