That's it. Edit > Clip Boundaries > Split. I could not figure out where Split was hiding (or what it was called). You don't need any of the other odd drag-selections, intervals, etc. Just point to the place you want to put the insert and Edit > Clip Boundaries > Split. A heavy line will appear and y...

They start out molecular-level tiny and boosting that voice signal loud enough to be useful is a really big deal. The closer you get to home qualit...

It just makes my teeth hurt when someone ships high quality original work around in a less than perfect quality. Of course, if the object is just to listen, then MP3 export is perfectly valid.
