    As some of you know I have a 64 track digital recording studio. I have produced several cds for myslef and 2 others. I can not afford the high end mastering software but have found something that is really just as good! [​IMG]
    GoldWave is a professional digital audio editor. It is rated as one of the best on the ZDNet Software Library. It contains so many great features, you will be amazed by all the things it can do:

    Play, edit, mix, and analyze audio
    Apply special effects, such as fade, equalizer, doppler, mechanize, echo, reverse, flanger, and more
    Digitally remaster and restore old recordings with noise reduction and pop/click filters
    Record audio from cassettes, vinyl records, radio, etc. through your computer's line-in
    Record dictation through a microphone or play dictation back at a slower speed for transcription
    Make perfect digital copies of audio CD tracks using the CD Reader tool and save them in MP3, WMA, or Vorbis files
    View a variety of real-time visuals and VU meters
    Convert files to/from different formats, such as wav, mp3, ogg, aiff, au, vox and even raw binary data

    GO to www.goldwave.com you can download a demo version which is great and can be used a lot of times. The full version I think is $40 but well worth it!

    Trust in the Lord,

    Here are a couple of suggestions:

    RegCleaner What I like about this program is its ease of use, and the fact that it has never caused any problems with my registry. It lists all the programs that are or have been installed on your pc. If you see a program listed that you know you have un-installed, all you have to do is check it and tell RegCleaner to clean. It will clean your registry of any invalid or unnecessary entries that program has left behind. Put out by the maker of JV16 Power Tools, but no longer supported (since JV16 it is no longer freeware). I still use it, though, and it may still be downloaded at:

    http://www.sofotex.com/RegCleaner-download_L4965.html

    RegSeeker Although I haven't yet tried this freeware utility. Here is the recommendation and description at OnlyTheBestFreeware.com:

    "Thanks to several helpful visitors, I've found a worthy replacement for the registry cleaner in jv16 PowerTools: RegSeeker. I also looked at EasyCleaner, but RegSeeker found much more errors in my registry and has several other registry-related features too."

    "With RegSeeker you can easily search, view and clean your registry. RegSeeker can search (parts of) the registry and view, delete or export the search results from a handy list. RegSeeker can display a list of installed applications, startup entries, color schemes, and several histories (IE URLs - including index.dat; run; map network drive; find files; recently opened files). It also contains a list of 'tweaks' to change hidden options of the Windows GUI. You can also maintain a list of favorite registry entries.
    RegSeeker's registry cleaner searches the registry for errors, including unused extensions, unused filetypes, unused entries, unknown paths, invalid CLSIDs (ActiveX/COM), obsolete entries, obsolete start menu items, missing DLLs, and missing help files. You can select which errors you'd like to fix and create a backup of the registry before you do so."

    You can dowload it at OnlyTheBestFreeware.com:

    http://www.onlythebestfreeware.com/program.asp?program_id=30

    Or at the author's website:

    I hope this has been helpful,

    Check out this neat free program! You know how some people put yellow stickies all over their monitors so they won't forget? Well, you don't need to do this because after you download this freeware, you can have your own yellow stickies in your computer!

    Click here to read more info and download the free software:
    http://www.btinternet.com/~tom.revell/index.html

    I have this now, and I can even set it so it will "wake up" to alert me at the time I set it when I am on my computer...for example, I typed on a stickie: "Use your eye drops before you go to bed"..and then I set it to "Sleep" until it will wake up at 10:00 PM every night to remind me. There are other ways you can set it like for 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 week, set it at the exact time you want to see the stickie, and several other options.

    The current Ripper/Encoder I used is called CDEX. Its a pretty good tool which can rip/encode on the fly. In addition it can encode into multiple formats, has built in CDDB support as well...

    I've been using Spamihilator for about 3 months now. Problem is, the longer I use it, the more spam I get! Since I get more spam, it can't possibly catch all of it, and so a lot of spam is delivered to my Inbox every day.

    Is anyone else having this problem, or is there something I'm doing wrong?

    If others have had this problem, is there some program which you have not had a problem with?

    EasyCleaner Here is the description from the website:

    "EasyCleaner is a small program which searches Windows' registry for entries that are pointing nowhere. EasyCleaner also lets you delete all kinds of unnecessary files like temps, backups etc. You can search for duplicate files and you can view some intresting info about your disk space usage! You are also able to manage startup programs, invalid shortcuts and add/remove software list. ToniArts may not be held accountable in any way if EasyCleaner affects your computer in a negative way.

    Thunderbird 0.4

    I have been using Pegasus for some time, which is an outstanding freeware email program. However, it has a bit of a learning curve, so I was happy that Mozilla Thunderbird finally got the bugs out and also offer a download with an installer. If you scroll down the linked page, you will see offered for download both the "official releases from Mozilla.org" and "Contributed (unofficial) builds." Under the unofficial builds there is a version with an installer offered, which will allow you to uninstall easily in the future using Windows Add/Remove in the Control Panel. I am using this version, and it is terrific. It imports addresses and mail from Outlook, Outlook Express, and Eudora with just a few clicks. It is very user-friendly.

    http://texturizer.net/thunderbird/download.html#install

    It can install a quicklaucnh, but if you are like me and don't use the quicklaunch toolbar, you can download Thundertray to run it from the system tray.

    http://protonfx.com/

    After unzipping Thundertray, read the Thundertray text document for instructions about installation.

    I hope this has been helpful.

    While it's not a program per se, I've found a new web search site that rivals Google:

    www.vivisimo.com

    It's main difference from Google is that it doesn't rank pages based on number of pages linked to it (like Google does; the more pages linked from or to the page, the higher the Google ranking, and the higher that site appears in the listings).

    Vivisimo also gives you options on the right side for related categories.

    Confessions of a Freeware Junkie [​IMG]

    Hi all.. love the thread... I wanted to let you all know that for all of the freeware that I have dnloaded and deleted and reinstalled and..... well, you get the idea, the very best most exhaustive resource for freeware is The Freeware book... it is set up alphabetically and each site has a blurb about it, and whether or not the site is strictly freeware, or if it contains nagware/shareware, this book has literally thousands of freeware files... it can be found http://freewarearena.org/PHPNuke/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=18

    which is the homesite of the guy who put together the Freeware Book itself....

    as far as progs go, I too will chime in re browsers, I like the Mozilla stuff, it seems faster than IE based browsers, and has the same bells and whistles... pop up blockers etc

    I might mention some of the better antivirus progs, I do no think anyone mentioned them yet... though if you get the Freeware Book, any site you go to (btw, you need to be online to use the book as it has hypertext links in it to take you to the various freeware sites) will have these listed as reliable and effcient antivirus... they are, in no particular order; AVG, Avast! Home edition (my fav! it is awesome, constant updates, though the others are good as well), AntiVir Guard, Bit Defender Free Addition (which has some nice (and free!) add on features, ie protection written specifically for users of Yahoo, MSN and other IM progs).... though you can use the Bit Defender IM protection progs seperately, that is, in conjuntion with another different type of antivirus prog, everyone needs to be warned (in case they do not already know) to never install 2 antivirus programs at the same time! possible serious meltdown!!

    I also like the free edition of Scotty, mentioned earlier, and spyware guard, also spyware blaster... I also use LavaSoft's Adaware and SpyBot, together they are great...

    and another great Image viewing program is from the Fresh Device people called FreshView, they have a suite of freeware progs, you just need to register and get the free codes, they have a Download Manager, a device manager/benchmarking/etc etc prog called Fresh Diagnose, and FreshUI, a tweaking prog... all 4 are good programs... re FreshView, I am new to the image manipulation scene, we have just gotten out first digital camera, so I have not had much experience with other image prgs, but FreshView is very user friendly and has done all I have needed thus far

    another prog I have not seen mentioned are File Managers.... I have never really liked Windows Explorer, some others you might try are 2xExplorer, Gyula's Navigator, Pablo Commander and Turno Navigator... but I do a lot of manipulating of files... moving stuff around etc, so if you do not do that sort of thing, Windows Explorer is probably enough.... and btw, the antivirus stuff I mentioned earlier will all, I think, give you the choice from within their prog, to right click on a given file, folder, or even drive, and the ability to scan for viruses from that point is very handy.... I am constantly downloading stuff, and so I need to be able to readily rt click and scan even individual files, or even the whole folder I have set aside as my default folder for downloads to make sure they are clean before I install....

    whew!

    hope this helps....

    is there a 12 Step Group yet for Freeware junkies?

    Another mention of a free Bible program (which I kinda kick myself for forgetting til now) is at:

    http://www.freebiblesoftware.com/default.asp

    check it out! you will be glad you did!
    I posted some of the advertising.recommendations at the esword vs QV thread, so you either look there or better, just visit their site. I have the cd myself, and can testify that this is the real deal, no scams, no hidden charges or agreements.....

    blessings!

    After D/L the module you have to click start, browse, find the zipped file, it should be in the E-Sword folder, hilite the "Zip: file, and click run. It should unzip in the right folder.

    Free downloadable Talmud anyone?

    #1 Soncino Talmud with two search engines online, Google and Picosearch.

    Site index.
    http://come-and-hear.com/talmud/index.html

    Talmud index, similar to #2 below
    http://come-and-hear.com/tcontents.html

    Now the good stuff. Download complete Talmud with indices, etc. When installed on HD or CD it functions just like the web site, only faster. The search engine included is called the Fish and Fumble page, not as powerful as google but generally adequate.

    http://come-and-hear.com/download.html

    #2 Soncino Talmud online, all Books and Tractates. Not searchable.
