Would this software be user friendly for the creation of audiobooks? I need to edit hundreds of takes together and also soften a few P-pops.

I converted cassettes to mp3 very big project but I do not know about audio books

yes it is easy to use. The basic functions are very easy. For the more complex features once you read the book they are easy as well.

I use Magix only for voice as I record audio books for Blackstone Publishing. I haven't tried voice over but I have mixed musical loops for chapters. Magix has a record function and a mixer so V O is can be used. I'm happy with this this program - for the money it works quite well.

I have the free Express Scribe program and it works with it to some degree, but not with all the functions. I do use it successfully with WavPlayer, but this may be a paid program. I am not sure as it was provided by one of my companies.

Correct. It interfaces only with a tablet application. That's part of the problem. You cannot edit the sound files (easily) or store the files on your PC. Livescribe is reasonably clear about that, but even knowing that up front you may find it very limiting and frustrating in practice.

I have not tried this, but I suspect that it depends on what you want to do on it. Plain text, like document editing would probably be OK. Images, like editing photographs, undoubtedly would not be satisfactory.

Absolutely! I'm not sure exactly what software you'd be using, but it can easily be programmed to use a variety of audio samples and sound effects.

If you get your audio files in one of the file types this can play, it will work great. If you need, you can always get a free converter and (once you've purchased your title) you can convert to a playable format and transfer it then. We use these in a reading station for 1st graders, but are playing the read-along recording in MP3.

I thought not, HOWEVER, I just discovered that it is better to rip audiobook CD's in iTunes than in Windows Media Player. The result is that each disc is in order (yay!) and the chapters are numbered. After uploading each disc, I make sure the mode is Mp3, which iTunes easily converts. Then I set up a folder on the Desktop with the title of the book as its title. Drag and drop the discs to the folder. Open the Sansa clip and add the discs, using the same method as adding files to a flash drive. I THINK THIS WILL WORK! It appears that it will.

We've been using "MAGIX Music Maker 2013". We got it cheap and it's works pretty well. Very easy software to learn. Depending on what you are doing with it though, it can get kind of glitchy to work with. We record several tracks together on a compilation, and we've been running into lag issues with it. As long as you can work around it, you should be fine. Just be aware that it IS a pretty big problem with this particular software. But you can't beat the price!

Yes, you can dictate a book to Dragon! That is my reason for using it. When you first start, it goes through some exercises so that the software recognizes your style of conversation and any accent you have. That makes it very intuitive when you start talking and dictating. It does perform punctuation and grammar when you instruct it. So if you haven't done that before, you will need to get used to that. You will say things like ... Quote, comma, period, end quote. But another user mentioned that it doen't help with that, and I believe he or she means that if you don't know correct punctuation or grammar, it won't edit for you. Also, you can train it to know how to spell things like names that are different. On my iPad, I can't get it to ever spell my name right, but Dragon will learn and then do it correctly from that point on. You can even learn instructions for going back a few words and tell it to capitalize or delete or add something. It does take time to learn these things, but it is well worth the investment, especially if you don't type fast or need to stand. I think a person could also purchase a Bluetooth if they wanted to be doing something at the same time! But I haven't tried that yet. Best wishes to you as you write your book!

I'm not sure if memorex continues to make the software, but I have always preferred to use software that comes with whatever audio/video editing program I have. Assuming you have a audio/video editing program (such as Nero or Cyberlink) most editing programs will have a unique CD/DVD cover designer included. If you do not have a audio/video editing program, I suggest you Google "free CD/DVD cover designers." Also of note, a decent cover designer will have a drop down box that allows you to select Memorex as the desired format. When you do this, it reflects a graphic that looks like your memorex blank sheet. Hope this helps.

This type of software is very intuitive. The learning curve is steep but making music is very rewarding. I would suggest getting the latest version. If cost is an issue I am sure that an older edition would be fine.

That's why I bought it, for old talking books like stuff. It did load them to audacity on my computer. We will see if some one will help me get them out!!!

Added thought... I want to use Audacity software to help with the conversion. Again, any thoughts? Thanks!

Thank you for your interest in our products. We recommend Roxio, and a full version of Nero if you need extensive editing but if its just play back the Nero disc we provided you will work.
