In OS 9 and before, it was always part of the OS where you could simply hook up a USB microphone and record your own customized alert sounds. This seems to be missing in 10.4.11, unless I'M missing something.
Basically, I have my USB mike hooked up, and I want to be able to make a number of short recordings of 30 seconds and less, preferably saved as MP3s, but if it's WAV, I'm sure I can find a program to convert. And I'm not doing this for alert sounds. It's for my ventriloquism act. (Cheating!)
Doesn't the current OS still handle this? Or do I need other software?
And the key point here is FREE software.
Thanks!

Additional Edit:
The Apple Help Menu/whatever tells me I should have an Alerts tab in the Sound preferences, like I always remember, but I ain't got it now.
Which is why I'm thinking that I'll need some 3rd party software to get this done.
