Re: [Audacity-manual] {manual} Your First recording tutorial

[Peter S. <pet...@ya...>]

I have made the first cut at a draft of 2 and 3 from my plan today.

See: 
http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/User:PeterSampson/Tutorial_-_Your_First_Recording


If there are no serious objections I shall replace the existing YFR with is 
draft later this week.

I am minded to Agree with you Gale - so my new plan

1)  I think that Bill's material on Audacity setup on his draft page (minus the 
h/w plugs sockets etc.) is considerably better than the text that is currently 
in the Reference/Understanding - it doesn't say much that isn't there already 
but it does say it better, and it is more up to date.  So I propose to update 
the Reference section withe Bill's Audacity s/w set-up stuff.  I agree that the 
Reference section should focus on Audacity setup and not h/w setup.

2)  As we agreed earlier I will atomize the YFR into its four basic sections.

3)  Then update those four YFR sections taking material from Bill's draft page 
as appropriate.

4)  When the YFR tutorials are looking in good shape I propose then to prune 
Reference/Understanding Audacity/Audacity Setup and Configuration - with pointer 

to where the h/w setup material can be viewed.

5)  I agree that a tutorial on "Recording Computer Playback" would be a good 
idea (whatever we call it) and that it could incorporate some of Bill's material 

from the links at the material at the bottom of his page.  I will try to find 
some time later to draft such a tutorial on my user pages.  I record streaming 
audio on XP a lot - but I will need some help from the Mac and Linux brigade 
when I get around to this please.

I have noted the comments from Gale and Martyn  about the "Tutorial - " and will 

do so.

I will not start until Monday morning as I have other commitments before then

Peter.
