Audacity has to decompress the work to edit and correct it which means it has to make a whole new MP3/4 when you're done. The honky ...

a humble actor with a marketable voice. I wondered. I spent a long time in Washington, DC and when Dulles airport went on line, they had the Tannoy/PA System announcements in your voice. " American Airlines flight 45 now boarding, gate 5. " It was glorious while it lasted. As I get closer...

Did I hit it? You never said what the job was.
