I tried to change my account e-mail address recently & received an e-mail from HomeRecording to confirm this by reply. I immediately got an error message when activating this stating "Oops, we ran into some problems" which left me unable to post. I tried...
I've downloaded the user manual but can't find a reference to whether this is a feature or not. This is prior to buying one second hand. I realise most people would do this retrospectively using a wav editor.
I know with some of the low-end PCM recorders from Tascam & Zoom that it's possible...
