It really depends on the two sound levels, but a good rule of thumb is to 
reduce both levels a little, then try it to see how many clips you get. If too 
big, just undo then try again. A few clips or even a few dozen clips is not 
really too much when you are talking about several seconds of sound.

Larry, this is what I have been doing, and in doing so and in knowing about 
audio, I realize I can't set both volumes at 0 DB even though I have faded out 
one of them.  I have often just had to futz around to get a
 mixed recording without clipping.  Of course, one can always set the mix 
volumes low enough to avoid this and then adjust the volume of the total mix 
afterward, but is there a rule of thumb here about where one sets these volume 
controls, or does it totally depend on the sound levels one is mixing?

thanks.

Neal

I would just make all those level adjustments to the music file, put it on the 
clipboard, then mix it with the originel podcast with the X command.

Hi Larry or Rob, can we use a specific example here for clarification?

Let's say that I have a piece of music I want to use as an introduction.  I 
also have an already recorded file of a podcast.  I want to play 8 seconds of 
the music before the podcast begins, and I want to have the music fade out for 
three seconds before the podcast begins.  At some point in the first 10 or so 
seconds of the podcast, I want to totally fade out the music.

What is the easiest way to do this.

Thanks for your help.  I think this will clarify at least this example for a 
lot of people.

Neal

Hi Mika.

I prefer using the X command to mix a piece that is on the clipboard, but it 
really depends on the specific situation.

Rob,
So which of these ways (or another way) were you recommending in genral for the 
simplest way to add music to beginning or end of a podcast?

Thx,
Mika
