Thanks guys. No can do, Redstone, ye Native of Mine Native Ontario! The file apparently only downloads from Germany or something like that. I don't get it, and I CAN'T get it, cuz it just won't download. I never knew about such shareware, but if you know of another such free application, I'm gonna give it a whirl. Meanwhile a friend of mine suggested the Omega Lexicon. Definitely NOT free, though. He loves it. I checked it out on Musiciansfriends I think it was, and the critics are split right down the middle. My friend says it's essentially just a fancy soundcard. I'm starting to think that's the way to go, cuz I am putting in a bit of time into recording these songs and granted, my equipment dates back to the Great Flood, but it works, and it sounds pretty damn good for a guy who has no clue what he's doing. I could follow what Jay1232 was saying and it made sense to me, but the downside seem to outweigh the good sides. Do you guys know of any other applications, free or otherwise, or even hardware that I could buy, to solve my "burning" issues once and for all?
thank you all for your time.
