Music and Digital Audio
Good Christian music with a solid, Bible-based, relevant message is not easy to find in today's pop-Christian music scene. As I discover good sources of written and recorded Christian music, I will list them here. If you know of sources that are not listed, please let me know. I'll gladly post it for the blessing of others.
Digital audio recording is a hobby of mine. Listed below are resources related to recording, editing, and sharing digital audio as well as what I've learned about the process of remastering analog formats (cassette, LP, reel-to-reel) to digital.

SOFTWARE
I currently use Goldwave digital audio editor for most of my recording projects. Unfortunately, it is Windows only, so I'm looking for a good alternative that is either cross-platform or Mac only.
HOW TO'S
How to transfer an audio cassette tape to CD using Goldwave and iTunes.
