Just to wrap up on this from my side; I am now getting to grips with using the mouse wheel for navigation and it is clearly a much better way of moving around the file. Thanks again for this great tip Steve.
The objective of all this was always to end up with some CD rips that were normalised to something less than the extreme levels that seem to be the norm these days. However, I realised that the change in the Normalise function has enabled me to use this command in a chain on CDs ripped into tracks, like I requested as a feature some time ago; that's got to be more efficient even with faster navigation.
Having now tried that this morning I am delighted to see it works really well, although it would be nice to have the ability to specify a target directory. Furthermore, I now have a fast, reliable way of normalising my entire library of wav files and converting it to flac .
This has all sorts of advantages for me and I am simply delighted -- wtg Audacity!!
