Hi Everyone,  I am glad to be able to tell you that my preliminary work
on our own web site is almost completed and that I hope to be able to
tell you how to access same, shortly.  In the meantime, I have a couple
of questions for some of you who are audio/software experts.

1. Is there a handy piece of software that I can use to edit either
WAV or RM (real media) files (for example - of musical snuff box tunes)
that I am putting on my web page?  I guess I want to 'tweak' sound
levels as well as take out some extraneous 'noise' (primarily mechani-
cal whirring) that is overemphasized in the recording process.  I have
to have (at least for now) software that will run both on my 561/150
laptop (it has stereo audio) and on my 561/200 MMX.

2. Including the effects of iteration, do you think it is better to
record directly into the computer (Win 98 Sound recorder) or to record
on a digital Sony minidisk and then transfer the recording to the
computer?

Thanks for your help with this, and Happy New Year to all of you!
