[PlanetCCRMA] Newbie Questions

[Mark Knecht]

Kent,
   It's absolutely fine to use this kernel for day to day work. I do
as do many others I'm sure.

   Audacity is a good choice for what you want to do. There are other
good apps also, but that's probably a good one to start with.

   Give it a go and have fun.

cheers,
Mark
