<<<Blue>>> It used to be one was peak value and the other was Something Else. Average sound level? RMS values? I gotta look it up. One of the reasons we urge people to immediately convert the timeline to dB rather than percent, is how the ear works. (Black down arrow on the left > Waveform dB.) 0.5 ...

<<<This is the first vocal isolation effect that I've seen, so it is of interest just for that>>> Exactly that. It used to be you just couldn't do this. Now it's maybe possible a little bit.

<<<line to mic adapter>>> Yes, that should get rid of the mic channel overloading problem and I have built those myself (they're six ten-cent resistors in a box, so don't pay hundreds of dollars for it), but you need to know that the signal will become noisier than if you had used a Line-In connecti...
