"Dear Drew,
Yes, I by now have made a few CDs using your product.
It is true, the product is amazing as you have indicated.
I have a large collection of LPs of the Big Band era, popular music, and classic
country that I was interested in copying to CD. I was doing research on what it
would take to make that conversion.
From all of the research, it looked like a nightmare from the standpoint of expense
for equipment and the enduring task of manually editing the soundtracks for noise.
I was nearly to the point of abandoning the idea until I happened upon your WebPages
where you described your equipment.
After reading some of your instructions and also some of the testimonials, I couldn't
believe that a product like this could be available for the price. I thought it
was just another "ho hum" kind of thing like another boondoggle arrangement;
yet the testimonials seemed sincere along with the sincerity you expressed on
your WebPages.
That convinced me to try the product and I am so happy I did.
After I received your product, the mixer and software, I studied your well written
tutorials and started using the software right away.
That mixer is a godsend device for interfacing the phonograph to the computer.
It provides superb isolation between the two units meaning no 60 Hz hum.
The software takes all the pain out of editing the waveforms; just unbelievable.
There was a learning curve, but I found that learning curve for this product to
be so much simpler than any product I have ever used that has this much technology.
The reason of course is credited to your well written and presentation of your
tutorial.
I have only one small suggestion but not really all that much. I thought you could
have touched just a little more on recording level.
For example, where you show the screen for the Wave Editor displaying the sound
waves (analog signal), there are two, what I would describe as boundary lines
above and below "signal base line".
If the input signal level is set too high, it looks like signal clipping occurs
and causes distortion of the processed soundwave. I couldn't find where you had
much to say about that, so by trial and error, I determined to keep the signal
level to fall within those boundary lines. Again, this is really not a big thing.
The BIG THING, of course, is that this is a tremendous product and a BIG THANK
YOU for "simplizing" the task of LP to CD recording.
You may use this or any part of this email as a testimonial"

"I already unlocked the editor and have made 2 CDs
so far, Boston the untitled album from 1976, and Boston More than a Felling from
1978.
Both turned out really well. I found it much easier to record the whole album
sides, then separate the tracks manually than to use the SR button.
I made a couple of coasters though (useless CDs) while learning how to use the
equipment. I set the level A slider to about 80% and the quality of my recordings
was not good.
I took it down to the third line and I'm getting good quality now after I separate
the tracks, save them as CD quality WAV files.
Overall I'm very pleased with the equipment...Well worth the money!!!!! "

"Sir: I have only had time to do 2 CD's.
What I have done so far has really been great.
I have tried other program's but none worked very well. Yours worked so well at
the small pop position, I have not had to do anything else.
The tutorials were a great help also.
Thanks very much!!!!! "

I'm writing to say thank you for a great product.
I have only done 4 recordings so far and I'm very satisfied with the results.
Even with my 30 year old BSR McDonald turn table, I got better recordings than
I had expected.
I was also impressed with how fast your shipping was.
I ordered on a Sunday and received my equipment on Wednesday."

"Drew-
Sorry to take so long to get back to you.
Everything works great. The sound quality is excellent. The interface and the
POP filter were easy enough.
Your tutorials were helpful and I worked through all the examples since I had
all the programs you used. Since I have a Creative Labs Extigy sound card, I played
around with the Creative Recorder and Wave Lab and found them more intuitive and
flexible.
The "crop to selection" function with the WaveStudio makes cutting album
sides into tracks very easy. "

"Hi Drew,
Just bought the editor and I love it.
I only need it to edit my three hour class lectures for playback in my car."

"Hey Drew,
The DAK Wave and MP3 Recorder is great!
I use it to edit and record voice over and music clips for a documentary DVD on
"Sound Sculptures" by Harry Bertoia, an American sculptor from the '60s
.Each of his sculptures
(tonals and gongs) emit a specific sound which is akin to a "metal wave"
It has been very easy to use and allows me to save the audio files in different
formats. one program does it all for me.
great product.
Thanks
P.D. Rock Cave, WV
Ps: I remember w/ fondness receiving the old DAK catalogue a few years back and
spending more than a fair share of time reading it..."

This is a great program and easy to use!
I can now record my violin playing for my students, copy it and give them a disc.
This is a great tutorial and I will tell my teacher friends to make "homemade"
recordings for their students.
Thanks.

Drew,
The wave editor has been WONDERFUL!!!
I've only done vinyl to CD so far, but I plan to try out the other features too.
The tutorial was very easy to follow. I'm the kind of person that feels like I
have to read all of the instructions first before I try anything out, so after
I try to read a manual, I usually sitting there scratching my head!!!
The pictures were great.. (I'm a very visual person too!!) The 'only' problem
I had was when I started out, I decided to read the 5 minute quick start and the
sound wasn't coming out of my speakers. When I tried to click on the link to show
me how to "unmute" windows editor, it was blank!!
So I ended up just reading the long version to figure it out (I would have ended
up reading it anyway!).
My husband bought some Klipsch speakers for my computer and I've been sitting
back enjoying the sound!! I'm so glad I ran into your website...
I'm very pleased!!

I am so very pleased with your recording program!
I am retired and widowed and in my mid seventies and enjoy just "playing"
with sounds and music (among many other things the computer provides).
I had never tried recording anything and was totally unfamiliar with the methods,
procedures, terminology, etc. associated with recording and editing (didn't even
know I could do that 'unprofessionally'), but upon sparking some interest recently
in the possibilities of recording,
I learned I would need a special program to do that (makes sense). Not having
that kind of program, naturally, I got on the internet to find and price one.
Most programs I found were absolutely too costly for my limited income--not to
mention too difficult--for a fledgling like me that I had almost given up hope
of being able to do this procedure and just accept that fact and live with it.
However, I found your site and found your wonderful program, and well within the
reasonable cost that I could afford.
There was one piece of beautiful music on a web page that was in my e-mail with
no way of saving it to enjoy it again later (without saving the e-mail). With
your program, I was quickly able to learn and save this music. I confess, I am
still having a little trouble with the volume despite the equalizer's settings
and my computer control settings up high enough, I haven't yet found out how to
overcome this small problem. Given time, I am sure I will.
Thank you again, for having this great program and priced so that anyone can afford
it and enjoy its creativeness.

Hello Drew,
Just a note to thank you for your Mp3 and Wave Editor. I had some problems after
loading it ( not the fault of your software) and Dan was a great help in solving
the problem.
I feel like I got a lot for the money in this package(I got the equalizer also).
Thank you again,
