Do you ever need to edit music? Here’’s a tutorial Fisher wrote about how to do it using Sony Sound Forge (though these tips work with other audio editors, too).
It doesn’t really work with Audacity because that freeware doesn’t support markers as used in my tutorial.

My new computer runs super fast for just pennies a day. Though it voided my warranty, I wanted to open it up and snap a picture so you can see the secret to my powerful computing.

So, you find yourself without a good-sounding place to record your VO. Well, one of the best designed acoustic spaces on earth is the modern automobile. So, if all else fails, get in that car and find a nice scenic rural roadside. Pull over, kill the engine, shush the cows, and then hit record.

Find a quiet place and record in your car.
