OK so you want the sound to stop, add your commentary, sound to start for awhile then stop so you can add more commentary. Well then, you probably have to do this in sections. Meaning cut up your sound file into smaller WAV or MP3 files. Pull the first WAV or MP3 sound section in, then go to the end of the sound section. Record your commentary, then go to the end of it. Then pull your second sound section in and go to the end of it to do your second commentary. Do this until all sound and commentary is done. When you export it, Audacity will make it into one MP3 or Wav file. I think this would be the easiest way when using JAWs. As a sighted person, I would simply record, copy it and then go to the sound section and place my cursor where I wanted the commentary and paste it there. Not sure if you can do this as I don't know what you're hearing with Jaws and Audacity. Judith ______________ Hi Scott and Judith, Many thanks for your responses. Let me explain what I am trying to do. I have a contiguous segment of sound. Let us say that this is track 1. about two seconds after the segment begins, I want to add some commentary. Then, the sound segment should play some more and, a little later, I would like to add some more commentary. So far, I have been able to achieve the following. I have been able to import both soundtracks into odyssey. At the moment, track one plays first and then track 2 is played. This is not what I want. Using the analogy of a wordprocessor, assuming that track 1 is a paragraph, I would like to insert some more words at different points of this paragraph. How do I do this?
