Works pretty well

I need to record many oral history tapes from older audio formats to digital. Each tape needs an intro with details on the recording to follow. To record this a live microphone, that means mistakes, a quiet background, and kind of 'on the fly.'
This ap is very easy and friendly to use. The voice choices are pretty good, and I believe the museum I am doing this for will be satisified.
I will now need to record from the earphone jack of my lap top to the mixer going to the digital recorder. The newest update (Sept. ’26) does not seem to add anything, and the voices are still to digital sounding, but any port in a storm!
