But why should I have to use a several-step process to do something that I should be able to do in Evernote with one click? If Evernote provides a function, that function has to be at least usable otherwise it's just a marketing sop to entice people to use the software. Many users have complained over a number of years that the recording quality in OSx is not fit for any purpose. This cannot be a difficult thing for the programming team to tweak, so presumably they can't be bothered, or do not see that this limitation is actually turning away a very large user base whose particular use for EN includes on-the-fly recording and organising of sound clips (teachers, musicians, students at lectures etc, etc). I don't expect great sound quality from Evernote, I've got lots of ways of achieving that if I want, I just want something that is usable that works with my workflow- that's all! It would be lovely to hear from someone at Evernote why they feel they are incapable of achieving this!
