Hello,
Completely agree with the thoughts below.
Just want to make sure that people know about the editing capabilities in
the PRS. I find the audio editing by splitting phrases, and then cut and
paste of phrases very powerful. For example, the speaker coughs; you can get
the cough into a separate phrase and then just delete it. Of course, that
cough is not really gone until you create the distribution copy or do an
audio export.
Best
George
