I miss Sound Recorder. I used to put in a CD, record sections of a song, save (as a .wav, I think), and use them for certain “events” in the system. Soooo easy.
There was some kind of command scripting recording macro tool that would copy a series of actions and then one would have a command to execute a complex action to automate things one did frequently.
Try Audacity, it can be a little overwhelming at first glance but it will do what you want plus many other audio editing features, and it’s free.
