Thank you so much for your explanation. I hadn't been able to read your entire
message earlier. However, it's a very awkward way of handlling drop-ins. I
think Audacity needs a much smoother, cleaner, quicker methoda basic punch-in,
punch-out method. I hope this will be intrnuced someday. To my mind, it's a
serious drawback to a very fine program.
Thanks again.
Daveed
