Subject:recording audio - help instructions Posted by: judy Date:6/26/2005 2:37:59 AM I am a newcomer to Soundforge and am having difficulty starting to record from cassette. I have tried to follow the help topics for Recording Audio but after choosing Transport/Record from the submenu can find no sign of the Method drop-down list. I would be most grateful if someone could advise me where I am gong wrong.
