Recording in Seperate tracks
Hi, i was recording a simple story for my 4 year old neice.... i started recording and figured that each take is recorded on a seperate track... which to me sort of complicates the issue... is there any way of recording on the same track and not creating a 100 of them for each take?

Re: Recording in Seperate tracks
Without actually trying to figure out what you did...
Read one chapter without stopping. Press Stop. Get a glass of water and when you're ready to start the next chapter, Press Append Record (Shift-R) and start talking. Continue until you finish the story. Press Stop the last time.
Create a music file.
File > Export > WAV or MP3. That will give you one single music file with the whole story on it. MP3 needs additional software.

Did that cover it?

Re: Recording in Seperate tracks
As someone who does the occasional audio book, I've found having each take on a separate track really useful. If I screw up somewhere I can delete just that bit/in that take. It allows for sliding sections closer together etc. Its all personal taste really.
