I like your workarounds and your suggested changes. Perhaps if both of us present them, the ideas might carry more weight. Worth a try anyway.
Have you tried the cassette hiss filters. The impulse filters are also excellent for getting rid of pops and clicks. I've heard a lot about audition 1.5 and I'd love to work with it, but I haven't been able to get my hands on a copy. Maybe one day. Larry ----- Original Message ----- From: "G.
