I've tried to run the program with the MacRecorder on my IIci w/4m & 80m setup
... it didn't work well at all, i could hardly tell what was recorded. i only
tried one/two disk records, but the ram records sounded just as bad... why?
i have no idea. i basically tried it since i dont want to have to pay
$50 to upgrade to the newer version on soundedit so i can use the recorder.
you'd think farallon would have made the older version 1.0 of soundedit
compatible with the IIci and not force users to upgrade with fifty bucks.
