So far, Total Recorder has been sufficient for my modest needs. But if I hit a wall with it, I will check out the WavePad you suggested.
Thank you very much for your help.

>>Is there anything in the PC OS (XP PRO) that controls the input lever of an external microphone? I couldn't find it. I can control the level of the output sound in Control Panel. But can't find anything related to a mic. So it is all basically a function of the microphone itself?
