i used to use audacity for years and i rather liked it for its simplicity. it did however make me think about working along the same line. it takes me a long time to learn how to use them so i am reluctant to throw another one into the mix. its bad enough with the sonar thing and figuring ways around what is usable or not. i will have a look into that.Īs for using another DAW, i had a cursory glance at reaper but i get really annoyed with demo versions. I have seen dropbox things before, never used it though.

which is a pity as it looked useful so i may keep messing and try to find what the issue is with installing.

I couldnt get CDex to work, i either found downloads that were loaded with viruses or it just failed to install. i used to send several at a time so i guess mp3 is a smaller file size (obviously not very clued up on technical ins and outs here). i uploaded this months comp entry as wav so its all good for that, but i tried to send a few tracks to a friend in an email and it said that even one was too big. If nobody knows how to get around that little monstrosity is there an easy to use and free mp3 encoder around that isnt just a demo of something which runs out almost immediately? i tried a couple before but they were complicated to use and always demo versions. i tried asking on the cakewalk forums but i just got ignored. i am rather stuck now and despite following various guides on getting the two programs to speak to each other i just get the same issue. the program is definitely there and in the same folder it was before, but when i fill the box in to configure it into sonar i click save and it just deletes the name from the friendly name box and doesnt do anything. it used to work perfectly and was my go to thing but i cant get it to configure it now. so i got on to recording again and now it seems that sonar doesnt remember the Lame MP3 encoder. i did however have to reinstall sonar LE and the drivers for my Boss pedal. needless to say it has played havoc with many things, but thankfully my recordings were unaffected. Right, so i had a major system error on my computer and had to do a system restore.
