I can see two curves crossing. Automatic Noise Reduction getting better and better at the exact time that Computer Voice starts being used for books. I note one test he didn't do. Right at the end he said this was useful if your flatmate wouldn't stop making noise. I bet the software would have a lo...

No short performance test description in the notes? I know how they used to do it, but I also know they changed it and made it much harder for a casual user to produce. This is their reaction to the sudden workload increase.

Open the whole chapter. Drag-select the first half. Check it. Drag-select the second half and check that.

People who have problems with volume overload during overdubbing are recording their backing track in addition to whatever the performance is. That doubles the volume of the backing track and create...
