Poor Sound Quality?
 If your recording sound is distorted or unclear, try adjusting the Input Level
to a lower level.

Dividing Recordings Into Tracks
Before dividing your newly recorded album into separate tracks, all editing (cleaning, audio removal, etc.) needs to be complete.
1. Select FIT PROJECT IN WINDOW icon (magnifying glass with horizontal line below it.)
- This will magnify the view so all tracks
can be seen. The separation breaks will appear as skinny lines between the clusters (clusters represent audio).
Splitting tracks can be done automatically or manually. Automatically is rec­ommended if the record is in good condition and there is a distinct silence break between the songs. Another option would be to manually separate. This is recommended if the record is in poor condition or does not have dis­tinct silence breaks between the songs.
