I recorded an entire choral concert with a portable recorder (MicroTrack 24/96). Although it was placed towards the rear of the room, the quality was quite good. The controls (volume) were not changed during the entire performance. There is considerable volume difference between numbers, which I do not want to alter much, as it was an intentional diference, though not as marked as evident on the raw recording Now the problem: The suggestion in the Effects section of Help is to make all other edits BEFORE normalizing. I wonder if it couldn't be done on the entire raw recording to ensure proper balance throughout. Would it be possible to make this the initial edit, then make necessary edits to sparate tracks and do fade in/fade outs, etc. Any help would be appreciated! SHS

Many thanks once again musikone!!!

Hello again! I am trying to insert short silences at the beginning and end of short files which will end up as tracks on a CD. I don't really understand the proper procedure. Do I need to select the area in which I want to insert each silence (there is a sparate selection under edit for this, I believe)? Then, when I choose to "insert the silence", a box comes up asking me to choose beginning, current, or end. What do these choices refer to... the pre selected area)? I have randomly tried each on a "practice" file, and get strange results that I don't really understand! Is there some short cut way to tack the silence piece on each end? Sorry for all the questions, but any help will be much appreciated!!! SHS

This is my first attempt at editing! I want to "insert silence" from the edit menu. Question is: what (or how long) is an ms? The default for some editing is 5 ms. Mini, micro,... wht portion of a second is this unit?? Thanks for any help! SHS
