Audio recorder with recording level meters
Roxio Audio Recorder has the precision vertical recording-level meters like the original Voyetra AudioStation had. I need them for stereo recording. Roxio Recorder works but often dies in windows XP without warning.
Am looking for a replacement program. Anyone know of a good sound recorder, hopefully free, remember, it MUST have accurate recording level meters, like the above 2 programs mentioned, and it is for XP. Thanks.

Well guys, I tried everything you suggested here, as well as a slew of others, gool Edit Pro, Total Recorder, I probably tried a dozen or move -- and gave up on all of them and went BACK to Roxio Sound Recorder.
Despite all of these other programs complexity, NONE allow precision levels and ease of visually correct recording for perfect volume input and balance like Roxio Sound Editor does. All the others do is make a simple process more complicated than it need be, what is crucial in recording is accurate input levels.
I am splitting points because you guys tried to help. Thanks for the ideas.

I would be happy to post a screen shot of the volume level meters, but cant find a way to post a JPG on expert exchange. I dont know if ROXIO 6 is still available, but an installl of that program includes the Roxio sound editor, and you can see how much clearer and superior it is to the other products, which use tiny useless volume controls, and they have no way to visualize whether the WAV recording is maxing out on volume distorition or not. If you are really intersted, see my profile, and I can email you a JPG file.
You can also post on photobucket and drop a link. I would be interested to see this as well.
What is the full name of the product (ROXIO 6) ?

Roxio Easy CD creator 6 -- only install the CD burning and the Sound/audio options. Roxio is a great DVD burning program, far better than Nero for DVDs. If you've ever seen the original Voyetra Audiostation for windows 3.11, you've seen the Roxio recorder. Voyetra dumped it for Cd ripping to MP3, what a waste!!
The latest version is Easy Media Creator 8 why do you use 6?
it sound like RecordNow might intrest you as well.

Nope, Roxio 7 and 8 dropped the original sound recorder, and the new program, record now, is as worthless as all the rest of the programs that were recommended to me -- none of them are any good, believe me, I tried them all, and they are stupidly designed, and have no logic or common sense to them.

Soundman, I appreciate the help, but am not interested in anything that costs that much, after all, this is just to record music, it should not cost hardly anything. Sure I could try audition, but I would never pay the fee, so why even bother? I will try this other free program and let you know. So far, Roxio is looking better than I thought!!
