Also, you may find it convenient to operate on one one complete sentence rather than try to cut word by word. Phrase editing can sound very unnatural. Koz

If you think you're good enough to wing it, you can use Append Record (Shift-R) to start recording the correction at the end of the show. Then drag-select > Copy > Paste at the appropriate place. The correction should push the old work later in time. Then go back in and delete the bad work. Most peo...

Here it is. I thought we had something like this. Edit > Preferences > Recording > [X] Overdubbing (select). Open your show. Tracks > New Track (stereo or mono is up to you. It should match the show). Select the new track by clicking just above the MUTE button. Click somewhere just before the fluff....

If you like to use a USB microphone, the p...

I killed your other post. You should not hang a different conversation from the bottom of somebody else's post. Those are impossible to answer. We'll deal with this one. Koz

Another method of turning on monitoring (at least on Windows, anyway) is to do a single left mouse click anywhere within the meter itself. That totally works in Mac-Land, too. The problem of doing it that way is the human feedback. There isn't any. If the meters are all the way to the left (complet...

Man I am a noob
