[QUOTE="dtownley1, post: 258215, member: 20564"] yeah, it's a great app. Powerful editing tools. Some stability issues though. I've noticed it's nowhere near as smooth on intel macs though. Playback is fine, but scrolling is a bit jittery. Also, I wasn't able to get the mp3 export plugin to work on my macbook - even though I had no troubles on my iBook. I don't think intel macs recognise that plugin, despite the fact that I downloaded the intel version of Audacity (the 'stable' version - there was also another beta version, which I haven't tried yet) heh, there may be a roundabout way of getting that done. To do some recording recently, I purchased a cord which goes from audio in (on the mac) to the headphone port of something else - and it allows you to record audio from the source like that. If you like, you could get a cable like that, plug one end into the headphone port of your mac, and the other to the audio in. I think it would loop the audio round through that and straight into the audio in :P I got an app though, which supposedly records audio from pretty much any app - I'm not sure how it works as I haven't tested it yet. It's called Audio Hijack Pro - should be a free demo download from versiontracker.com. Might be worth checking out if you just want to record audio from your mac without cables. [/QUOTE]
