The basic recording function is very straight-forward, but the naming of files transferred, erasing and re-numbering tracks less so - consult manual or ask.  Various formats and sampling rates are available: intermittent noise has occurred on some 22.05 kHz mono recordings. Best to check a sample before recording a long session or use 44.1 kHz and down-sample with sound editor. </para></listitem></itemizedlist></section><section><title>Edit recordings</title><para>The first step is to install a waveform editor. The main one we use is Audacity, but you can also use its predecessor CoolEdit.
