Neal: Different sound cards and buffer settings won't helphere, since I assume you are issuing these commands with the transport stopped. Rob Meredith >>> neal.ewers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 05/30/06 04:26PM >>> Rob, You're right of course about the changes to the Dip/Rise process. I still can't get it to work even when I use these parameters and make sure that all selection is cleared with C after I increase the last part of the file by 10 DB. But I want to play around with this on several sound cards with different record buffer settings. I'm sure it works right if you got it to work. The question is, can I get it to work, and if I can, I will have set up a better environment for SR anyway. If I ultimately fail, I'll send you a file with the keystrokes I used. Thanks for your help. Neal
