No. It might seem that way. You can edit any track you want, but sometimes it's a little magic to select the portion to edit. First I would turn off Auto Update Screen. That can be handy when you're recording—to have the screen and blue waves keep up with the live performance—but during editing that...

What do you think we're doing that we ought not? Use different words.

Normally we do his with people who just can't make ACX compliance no matter what, but I suspect you might benefit from a quick look. Record a 20 second mono WAV clip and post it on the forum. Doesn't matter what. Read the ...
