Chiff and Fipple Forums

Bummer - I hadn't looked at the sight for months, until I got a notice that someone else had posted to this announcement., I used to check it daily when I had RSS available to weed out all the junk notes about politics and religion. This is a shame. Every other favorite site I use has RSS. It can't ...

Would still love to see this go forward.

FWIW - while you are checking out the other options, I have found that if I simply hang my headset on my laptop screen (with the mic on the screen side) I get a reasonably good recording. I simply sit back at normal typing distance and play away. This link is to a file I made that way using Audacity...
