xarchive is still there according to Pfind

tar -xvzt simple_recorder.tar.gz fails on my laptop with a complain about the command, it fails on the other laptop saying that the file is not a real .gz

???

Puppy 4.2.x has xarchiver, not xarchive.

All working now, thanks!

Is there an app that includes a recording level meter?

Also, are the features like Mic Boost active or not based on the autodetect of the sound card features?

Thanks again!

alsamixer usually gives what is available.
Mhwaveedit was in puppy 4.12....fairly simple with vu meters

I found it in Puppy Package Manager and it installed OK on my laptop - I will try it on his - sure looks like a good "middle option" between simple_recorder and Audacity.

Will report back ...

Thanks!

mhwaveedit does not seem to offer the option to Start-Pause-Resume-Pause-Resume-Save that my son needs to create multiple voice-dialog recordings in a simple file.

Can someone explain how in Audacity he could simply Open a new file, begin Recording, Pause, then Resume, Pause, then Resume, and when done simply save to a wav or mp3 file?

Neither he or I saw that in Audacity -- it looked more like one had to create a complex Project then try to extract simple voice audio from it.

There is a tutorial here http://www.gposil.com/puptuts.htm on how to record voice in Audacity... Smile
