Hello M;
It started when I upgraded WavePad to the new version. The file starts at approximately 1 hour. (It is a recorded program of music and speaking) I then cut it in two, the first part is the music, approx. 30 min, followed by the speaking part, approx. 30 min.) Then I work with each file, editing out dead spaces of longer than 2 seconds, coughing noises and other interuptions or mistakes from each file. The result is two files that can be placed on one cd, showing the complete program in its most concise and easy to listen to form, allowing listeners to choose between focusing on the music portion only or the speaker's message only.
Thanks for your assistance. Louis
