Just like to say jamie, that's as good an advert for the PTR2
and PrS software as I've heard. Seems to me this device can
open up the way for work related audio journalism, especially
for budding VI journalists and those in preparation for work
schemes, another opportunity that's realisable in my view.
This without the learning curve involved in getting to know a
computer and audio editing software.
It would be nice to hear, on or off list, from anyone using
the PtR2 in this context.

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.
