<<<Sorry, I don't have a MAC, or the Quick Time Pro Version.>>>

If you post another message, it's good to post in the part of the forum that goes with the type of computer you have to give us a head start.

<<<Silence gaps at the beginning and at end. No editing... dc offset and everything else still there...>>> Excellent. Never try to "help us out." I knew a repair person with a posting in his shop. $20 per hour to fix something. $200 per hour if you tried to fix it first. Where are you? Muc...

<<<Given what's been said about DC off-set and gating, perhaps I should add a sub-sonic filter to the gate (which will remove DC before gating).>>> Perhaps you can find an easier way to find the noise floor as in the Noise Reduction profile technique. "See this sample? This is noise!" The ...

<<<I'm not finding anything like that in the Mac version. Any ideas?>>> That's correct. Macs do not support Mix-Out or What-U-Hear.

Audacity has great difficulty capturing multi-track and I believe it still, in version 1.3, doesn't play them at all.
