Re: [microsound] audacity not there

[jeff gburek <tsazmaniac@xxxxxxxxx>]

i was excited about audacity and still think it works
fairly well having established the buggy limits. i
still cannot save projects in it and have them remain
retrievable. it breaks down the project into multiple
smaller files and it may be an issue with windows but
it will never reopen the files claiming that it
doesn't recoginize them (and i have tried changing
file extensions etc)--maddening. I've not used it yet
beyond 6 tracks but I always do the project in one
sitting and export it. many on the fx plug-ins don't
work that well but a few that do are actually very
nice. the denoiser is great.
