Default Audio Editing Advise? Revamping our training program

We're going to record our Home Buyer & Listing Appointments on CD so that our new (and experienced) agents can learn the appointments more effectively. Does anyone have any recommendations for audio editing software? Basically, I need to be able to record the audio & then break it into tracks for the CD.

Thanks!

Eric,

Try out audacity. It should do everything you need and it's free. I used it for a few radio commercials last year.

Hey Eric,

I record music and such with Acid Music Studio. You can record listings and put music behind it or just the listings. It's really easy.

I used to play around w/ Acid in college - when programs were "free" through kazaa. It's fairly pricey, right?

Don't open up that can of worms..... I used to "borrow" all of my programs till I started using them for business. Now I actually pay for everything I use.

Acid is not cheap. If you want to know some of the best stuff on the market try Reason. http://www.propellerheads.se/ It's what my techno band brother uses for their music recording. It's not cheap either and will take you a month to figure out.

If you want quick free and easy Audacity is great! You can drop in background music, add 50+ effects, import, export etc... On top of that it's quick and easy to learn. Plug in a Mic and you are ready to go.

Hehe, Coastal, my comment was more in response to his Kazaa remark. I do agree you are better off buying them if it's for business reasons. However, you can get the 30 day free trial of Acid and I believe you can do everything you can with the full version.

You can buy Acid for about 50 - 60 bucks at London Drugs. I don't think that's too bad. The package comes with tons of stuff... and I find it very user friendly.

I'm going to try out Audacity first, since it's free - also, I don't really need a ton of features, just some basic functionality to break up a recording into tracks. This is just going to be me giving a buyer's presentation, listing presentation & on a few mock ad calls for our new agents to listen to. Who knows - maybe I can email it to Coastal & he can put a good house beat behind it.
