<<<i cant be the only person who has had this problem. >>> No, but you're the only person that's had that problem on your computer. One of the problems with writing a wiki or instructions for a simple multi-track is it's very, very different depending on your computer, operating system, and circumst...

<<<Can you tell me how do I adjust the volume of this music so that its soft and the speech is more clearer?>>>
