I'm not recording a record, rather a continuous broadcast from the radio. Sometimes I stop the recording because I don't want to record certain parts of the broadcast. However, I'm wondering if when you press pause, the sound would stop playing through your computer, to show you were not recording.

I'm not sure what sound you are asking about.  the recording will be
paused.  Whether the recorder is paused or not has nothing to do with
whether you hear audio in general such as your screen-reader.

I don't see how you are going to forget if you pause a recording.  You are
recording something, for example, you pause the recording to turn over the
record, then you start recording again by once again pressing p.  How are
you going to forget whether you paused the recording or not during the
time you turn the record over.

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.

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
