I am recording...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

What a trip!

I heard about this free software (Audacity) which I uploaded, and I'm learning how to use it...

I want to record my poems!

There's a pretty steep learning curve for this computer-challenged person...

But I'm working on it, and maybe one of these days I might be able to post an MP3 for you to hear...

Time will tell!

:)

1. MY dear CP

You are NOT computer-challenged!

Keep at it. Soon the software will do what you want.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear Lionel Mandrake!

Oh, that's what you think!

However, I do expect to persevere, and eventually do the deed...

It's just not going to be anytime soon...

3. Audacity is excellent ...

It only seems complicated because you can do so much complicated stuff with it.

And I'm sure there are many here who could help you with it if you need.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear RoyGBiv...

I may just keep that in mind!

I printed the short manual that came with it, just to look at...

And it was amazingly complex!

But I'm not doing music recordings ...Just voice.

Thanks for chiming in...

5. I used audacity for a couple of things I needed to record for a radio station

I thought it was kind of fun to play around with, and I am a total moran about that stuff - if I could do it I have no doubt you will figure it out - plus the awsome DU helpers are priceless!

7. My dear Kali!

Ah, well, we shall see!

I think that tonight I managed to break the earphones w/microphone that I bought from my computer guy...:cry:

It was just a cheap headset, but still...now I have to go out and buy another one.

And I was having so much fun hearing my voice!

Ah well.

Tomorrow is another day!

Thanks, sweetie, for your encouragement!

Keep me posted!:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear seaker!

You know I will!

It's going to be a while, though...

I always face a steep learning curve!

9. Great news, CP...I've recorded my "Nantucket" series of poems with Audacity, and...

...burned them to CDs (10 CDs in the special commemorative gift set including a full-color libretto, available for only $249.95 plus shipping and handling).

Any DUers wishing to purchase them can simply PM me with their payment info! I accept Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.

:rofl:

PS: For anyone "sitting on the fence" regarding the cost of the gift set, be advised that it does include an inspirational reading of the most-requested poem from the "Nantucket" Series, "There Was An Old Man From Nantucket." Each gift set is individually signed and numbered!

10. My dear Amerigo Vespucci!

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

I must have them!

ONLY $249.95???? Why that's bargain basement pricing!

11. I am very excited that you are considering recording your poems!!!

And I know someone who belongs to Audacity.

Do you need tech support/advice?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear NYC_SKP!

I do need some advice...

Is it too late to call?

It can wait, though...

[NYC_SKP]

13. Certainly!

Give a call!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Be right there!

17. That's awesome, CaliforniaPeggy!

I want an autographed copy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. My dear av8rdave!

Ah, sweetie!

If I do them onto a CD, you will have an autographed copy!

I hadn't thought that far ahead...

I was thinking more of just MP3's...

Time will tell!

Thanks!

Enjoy your days off...:hug:
