Yes, or the plex talk pocket I think it is called. If wanted can give you
links to podcast on these recorders.

Michael, may I make some suggestions?  First, I would consider using a
digital recorder such as the olympus dm4 to do the recording work. If you
are recording your own presentations this is perfect and will give you the
control you need. I have recorded podcasts this way and it works well. Next,
you would just import the file in to your audio editor of choice. Personally
I like Audacity and it's free. Click on: http://audacity.

I produce professional programming with this editor and it does the job for
me. I have also used Amadeus pro and it's excellent. I used that before
Audacity. Give them both a try and see which one suits your needs.On Oct 23,

        Greetings to all of you,
        
        In the next couple of months, I will need to be doing a lot of sound
editing.  While I am quite proficient with Sound Forge running under
Windows, I want to continue migrating more and more tasks to the Mac.  So
here are some questions, and thanks so much in advance for any and all
feedback.
        
        1.  I will be recording all of the presentations for a conference of
the European Blind Union which will take place here in Vienna from November
11-14.  Would GarageBand allow me to comfortably edit these large MP3 files
that each presentation will require?
        
        2.  I may need to leave the recording equipment unattended for
several hours at a time, thus producing very large files.  Since I am a
presenter, I won't always be able to leave the main conference auditorium to
turn off the recording equipment after each presentation.  Will GarageBand
let me split larger files into smaller ones without introducing too much
degradation in the quality of the recordings?  I assume that this is
possible, but I just want to make sure.
        
        3.  I am somewhat concerned about AC hum in the recordings.  Does
GarageBand have filtering tools which might help allay this concern?
        
        4.  Since I am already somewhat familiar with sound-editng software,
albeit the Windows flavor, how steep a learning curve will there be before I
can undertake a project of this magnitude? 
        
        5.  Finally, where can one purchase GarageBand, and how much does it
cost?
        
        Thanks so much,
        
        Mike
