Questions about basic editing
Posted: January 7th, 2021, 5:24 am
Question 1
Why would you zoom sound?
Question 2
How do you zoom sound
Question 3
Is a highlighted section the bit to be deleted when editing? If so, how do you put in a new bit of recording? The instructions for this are not clear.
Question 4
Is there a volume monitor anywhere in the program? If not, how do you keep a constant level of sound?
Question 5
Does compression affect the whole recording or are you supposed to select sections for this?

1) try to magnify the soundwave and see if you can cut out a portion of it producing a smooth sentence (e.g., if you said "two and two makes five er four", you could fix this by cutting out "five er")
2) If you can't clean up some of these through editing alone, just record a new version of the sentence or part of it in a new window, select the new sound wave fragment, copy it, select the old sound wave fragment to be replaced, delete it, and paste the new one in its place.
Question 5 re reply 1 How can I go about following above advice? How do you magnify the soundwave?
Question 6 re reply 1 How do you select the new sound wave fragment, copy it, select the old sound wave fragment to be replaced, delete it, and paste the new one in its place?
Question 7 How can I amplify my volume?
Question 8
The instructions links contain instructions for Windows 7/XP or Vista only. I have Windows 10 and the instructions do not correspond. What can I do about this?
Question 9
How do you add 3 seconds on to the end of the recording without losing anything already recorded?
So far any help I have received assumes familiarity with all aspects of the programme. The links I've been sent forward me to other incomprehensible instructions, which assume that you already know what you're being told. Using words like "just" or "simply" do not help.
