Daveed,
This is really not as complicated as you are allowing yourself to think.
The PRS software is intended as a fully functional editing software for
the creation of a DAISY title. This includes the ability to cut, copy,
paste, split and join phrases and sections within the recording. You
can edit the audio in whatever way is suitable for the end product you
want to achieve.
The software also happens to have a number of useful functions that are
handy, for example, the audio export facility that we have been talking
about. All in all, the PRS is a neat way of creating and editing DAISY
(audio only) titles.
In my mind, if you only ever want to be able to record an interview or
the like and then edit it in preparation of broadcasting pieces of that
interview, the PRS probably will do all that you need. If, however, you
want to be able to do other more elaborate things to the recording such
as fading, multi-tracking, etc, etc, then you will need to use other
audio editing software such as Sound Forge.
The concept of PRS is pretty straightforward - it's a DAISY editing
tool.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Jamie

Jamie: What do you mean by "Edit all the audio in whatever way suits
your purposes for whatever program you are creating." This is
getting so complicated! Can't I just edit with Sound Forge? I'm
sorry, but I still don't understand. I thought that when you export
to audio files, you get one large edited file, according to the way
in which you edited the original Daisy file. Now I understand I
would get separate files for each section. This is very confusing.
