Hi John,

         I think myself and many others in the group would benefit
from the topic being further discussed. I've often thought about how
best to chop out an undesired sound in my recordings and be able to
crossfade at that point , to continue the longer recording with
things still sounding continuous and natural. I've always broken
recordings up into smaller tracks at the point of the chop, in the
past. It looks like using the editing software is an art in itself,
not unlike a studio recording mix, and certainly a technique of it's
own.  I can't contribute much myself at this point, but stand to
learn by members continuing this discussion.


Regards,

           Bill
