This material was quite good when originally submitted 12 years ago, however it is severely outdated at this time. Activities reference files which are not present on the website. Activities reference software which is no longer supported.

This is a valuable source for recording digital sound and music, because it gives a detailed description of the steps need to be taken. It covers working with the most common sound recording software in the market.

This looks like it could be very useful as a teaching tool for instructors not familiar with this technology
