For me, I decided to make my nodes mp3 capable. Using notes from: http://ki6psp.blogspot.com/2010/09/arrl-news-on-allstar-node.html this way I could 'work' with my audio and then output in a format I liked using across different platforms. I use soundforge as I've been using that for years but certainly doesn't make the audio better or not :) I have a recording of a doorbell as my courtesy tone instead of computer generated tones. The best advice I can give you with audio quality is to make sure you are recording the best audio to start with. Use a high quality sound input and feed it with a high quality microphone. Now, I don't mean hundreds of dollars, just use the best equipment BEFORE you get 'digitized'. Garbage in garbage out even with the filtering capabilities of your software. Good luck!
