DECsound

DECsound is a software application that you can use to record and
play audio messages that you can mail to other users or include
in documents and presentations.

DECsound functions are similar to those of a tape recorder-you
can play, record, fast-forward, and rewind recordings. You can
also edit your recordings using the on-screen waveform display.

With DECsound, you record messages using a microphone that you
connect to your workstation. You can also use any other source
connected to the selected port of your audio device. Audio port
selection can be accomplished using other applications such as
Audio Control. You can play back messages on your workstation's
built-in speaker or on headphones connected to your workstation.
You can also use a headset that combines a microphone and
headphones.

You can perform basic editing tasks on your recordings. For
example, you can use cut-and-paste operations on a DECsound
recording in the same way as you would use them on a piece of
text. DECsound also provides a library of sound effects that you
can use separately or with your own recordings.
