Hi Ron
To boost up volume, I usually do a normalization by going to the effect (alt+c) menu, choose normalize, check the "Normalize maximum amplitude to:" check box, tab once and adjust it to 0 db. After that, I apply Chris's dynamic compressor.

I get it I think. So, moving on from that, if you press p for pause will the sound stop working? I ask this because you may have forgotten whether you have paused or not. 

Another question I have is concerning amplification.
I recently recorded something where the sound seems too quiet for comfortable listening. Having tried the Amplify effect nothing seems to happen.
Having read in the forums previously about peek amptitudes etc, it said something about zooming in to the loudest part to check the levels. Can someone please explain how I might do this? 

Many thanks.

Ron

That is not what a track is.  You are, evidently, stopping the program
from recording and then starting to record again.  Unless you know how to
do this correctly, every time you stop and start recordding again, you
will be adding a track.  Adding tracks would be used in situations where,
for example, you want to record an instrument playing, then later, add a
track with you singing.  For just straight recording of an album, either
just let the recorder record until the end or, if you want to stop and
resume recording, use the pause command, the letter p. You will pause the 
recording, for example, to turn the record over, and then p resumes
recording and no additional tracks will be  added.

Hi all.

I'm struggling with the idea of having more than one track in a project.
I can't qquite grasp the concept.



One project is open and as you cursor key down it says, "table track one
select on".  Go down and its 2, 3 4 etc.

If I go to track one with the cursor and press space for play, it plays
the same on each track which ever one I press the space bar on.

I understand tracks to be songs, 7 one side of an lp for example.
Therefore, if track one is selected you should be able to hear and work on 
that track alone.

But this doesn't seem to be the case.

Can anyone shed more light on this?

Ron
