What do you use for converting audio files from one format to another? I have a very basic rig set up, I use Audacity as my DAW, if you can call it that...

Dear Kinger,
Thanks for the info... and for the bonus answer. You intuited my question behind the question, which was, is there a small-footprint, low cost DAW out there that will run on somewhat older hardware and not break the bank? I'll be checking out Reaper shortly.

Hi, Sorry if this has been asked here before. Is it possible to get a physical mixer (USB or Firewire) to talk to Audacity? Or was Audacity never designed to do this?

I volunteered to work on an exhibit in a small museum near where I live on the life and work of instrument designer Harald Bode. His two most famous instruments are probably the Bode Vocoder and the Bode Frequency Shifter. More info on the exhibit is here: http://haraldbodenews.wordpress.com/ The cu...

Hi, Anyone know of a good and easy to use embedded HTML 5 music player? Or have any experience with the topic? I've been using Soundcloud's or else Fabricio Zuardi's embedded Flash player to put playable music on web sites. But since the iPad came out, I'm looking for a Flash alternative. Thanks, John
