The guaranteed way is to use the envelope tool and jog the volume back and forth word by word, increasing during the far side words and reducing back to normal for you. You might try Chris's Compressor. That's a look-ahead broadcast compressor that does a very good job of evening out volume variatio...

not allowing me to upload the recording to the third party software anyideas? Which is? I'd be really surprised if any on-line service encouraged you to push uncompressed, perfect quality, WAV files.

You want to take that again? A pre-recorded audio file plays perfectly except ...

Which version of Windows do you have? Which virus protection do you have and is it up to date and working? How much room do you have on your hard drive and when was the last time you manually error checked and defragmented it? Are you trying to save the work to an external hard drive? Are you using ...
