Hi all,
I haven't followed much of this thread and therefore don't know why
people are talking about their use of SR, but here's my two cents.
I've been podcasting since 2005, either on the old Blind Cool Tech
podcast, or my own podcasts; I've used SR almost exclusively, and
exclusively since some time in 2006. I purchased it when it first came
out some time around 2001, but due to work schedules, I didn't have time
to learn it till I left the workplace in 2005. I've used it for lots of
other things: helping friends with audio production projects by editing
out extraneous stuff and trimming the beginning and ending of recordings
to delete blank space; also doing a lot of this when copying some old
tapes to digital form. For a while I was on the ACB Main Menu team and
helped edit some files for that radio show, and produced some segments
here and there. I've put together various types of podcasts, with lots
of snippets from my collection of folk and classical music because
people were curious about the musical part of my life. It took at least
eight hours to create each of those recordings, but it was lots of fun.
SR has been so handy for so many things in the past ten years.
