Hi Y'all,

I'd like to record short monophonic sound bytes from the city/environment and then manipulate them into new sounds. Eventually they would go into a Flash movie. I'm new to computer sound but do know some digital and psychoacoustic theory. A few practical questions hamper my vision of a noisy net however...

What's the best affordable program for messing up sound patches? I don't mind a learning curve. What I envision is something like a software Synclavier but maybe that's too ambitious?

Are there any decent digital sound recorders that cost less than a car? Monophonic is fine. Since this is for web stuff the sample rate can be lowish.

Cost counts but I'd rather spend the money if it makes the difference between happy and constantly annoyed.

Thanks for any help.

Waka

Try SoundHack, best sound-mangling tool there is...
Just ask Aphex Twin (who actually reviewed it on versiontracker or the other warp guys.
