Hi all.

I recorded the tracks as 2 halfs then tried to join them and mix it down to
one.

I have tried joining other file previously, and it seemed to work.

You said, in your first message, that the files are two parts of a
football game.  Were they originally recorded as completely separate files
or did you separate them in some way after the recording.  Have you tried
joining other files to see if the problem is a general one or if it is
specific to something about these two files.
