Hello, Henry,
Having read what you have said about this computer-program,
I wonder how I could benefit from such a program because I have never gone that far.
I am also an amateur musician and I am learning pieces for the Fortepiano,
& I record this is with a microphone connected to a Sony-unit that records unto a CD.
This is as far as I have gone. I use it as a teaching-aid because I have no teacher
& learn on my own, whenever I feel well enough, & to find out how I develop,
I listen to my recordings and compare with pianists/harpists etc.
Sometimes it is a little tricky, for example at the moment I learn Händels “Air” in “Saul”,
transcribed by Muzio Clementi in his 1801 “Introduction to the Art of playing on the Pianoforte”
& I try very hard to find out when/where it was played to get a better idea,
& have not yet been successful to find anyone who has played it on a keyboard-instrument.
As I write this I am wondering whether such a complicated editing-program
is suitable for just recording my music, maybe this is something for the future
when I am a bit more accomplished.
Kind regards from Kristina.

I've used Audacity in the past for many things. Got it in 2004, version 2.1.1, I'm not recording or mastering any more, but you're right, it's a good, free program, and I would recommend it to any out there who play around with their music.

Thank you Henry for your kind advice.
Mind you, my system is a bit ancient, but it is very simple to handle and I have no problems with it.
Thanks for doing a search for Händels “Air” in “Saul”, I appreciate it, I could not find it either.
I could only find singing as well, but it was a different melody of the Fortepiano-score I have.
Thanks again from Kristina.
