I believe the way this was done requires that Noise Gate keep your whole show in memory during the operation. So it's a machine limit, as far as I know. Koz

If the new section is "highlighted," then File > Export Selection > MP3 [options]. Two problems: Making an MP3 from another MP3 will double the compression distortion, so if the original music was right on the edge of honking and bubbling, the new file may be unusable. You can get around t...

I think we can isolate the children, but the ring tone is hopeless.
I can't believe you can't find that on the internet and download a clean copy.

You cannot recover from microphone overload in post production. Microphones have a limited ability to transform voices into signals and if the voice is too loud, the signal will be permanently damaged. Turn on View > Show Clipping. If your show is a forest of red lines, then there is no recovery. Th...
