Hey Gene, I did download Audacity initially, or thought I had, until I attempted to bring it up from the desktop, and the message said that the configuration was incorrect. You are right, all I want to do is to record my voice on to a MP3 programme and to be able to alter it as I need. I'll try your suggestion and hope it works for me. Cheers.

First, what do you mean by configuration. Your message is unclear about whether you have downloaded and installed the program yet. I would suggest you listen to part of my presentation on Audacity and Mp3 Direct cut, done for Accessible World's Tech Talk. You may want to only listen to the audacity section, or part of it, or you may become interested in the entire presentation and become curious about both programs. If your uses of the program are going to be simple, spoken word recordings you make and that's all, while Audacity can be used for such purposes, you may prefer Mp3 Direct Cut for those uses. You are probably going to be working with mp3 files and will probably want the easiest and most convenient way of editing what you record. You don't need any effects, at least not based on your description of how you want to use the program. All you need is a very simple recording program, unless your needs are or become more complex. You may listen to or download the presentation from this page: http://www.accessibleworld.org/content/accessible-world-tek-talk-presents-gene-asner-discussion-and-demonstration-two-recording-0 Search the page for the word file and look for the link a little below the line where the word file appears as the only word on the line. the link will be an odd one, it won't have words, but it will end qwith mp3.

The problem I have is that I seem to be getting the configuring wrong, and I am getting p*** off with it to saythe least. Then I don't know what to do when it is downloaded, so I shall be on to you a lot I'm afraid. I want to record my voice and attach it to an email, and also to record part of a book onto a mem stick for my friendwho can't read braille. Please help!!!
