Hello,

That's a very nice tool. Can Digital Workshop please develop a similar tool into Opus so the end user can record audio, also if DW did do this an MP3 save option would be good.

In the past, teachers and students have requested a voice recording feature in OPUS, but I'm afraid my personal first reaction is "please don't." OPUS is a multimedia development tool. While some applications have been built using OPUS, that's not what it was designed to do.

The DW people get well intentioned "suggestions" every day. Each individual has their own "personal project" that would benefit if Digital Workshop would put their developers to work to custom create their idea. It's been mentioned before that software tends to become bloated with the addition of boutique features. Unless a new feature will benefit most of the core users/purchasers of OPUS, it just is a drain on human and computer resources.

Please post your suggetion for a recording feature in the "Wishlist" section of this forum, and let's see how many licensed owners of OPUS want DW to spend the time/money to develop it. In my world, building interactive, multimedia business-to-business sales presentation, I don't see this as a need. Sorry to "rain on your parade."

Audio not multimedia - well I'll be a ....

Thank you Chris Jones for the sound recording utility, I'll give it a go and see how it shapes up, just a pity it's not included as standard in what is a very good package...

It would be nice just to record to memory for say 10 secs and be able to play it back, as a majority of machines in educational establishments are prevented from saving to the hard drive:?:


In my world, building interactive, multimedia, EDUCATIONAL media with audio recording facilities, is a need and necessity.

I beg to disagree with demofred's comments. Just because you don't need it doesn't mean the rest of us might not like it !!! And what exactly WAS Opus designed for?!! Education is one of the key sectors that Opus IS aiming at in its marketing, and therefore a sound recording utility would go down very well with the majority of educational establishments I believe, both public and private adult education and training establishments. Seems somewhat pretentious of Demofred to tell us what Opus is meant for and what it isn't. And audio is obviously most definitely multimedia development in my opinion or am I really missing something here ??
