Dan,

As soon as you mentioned the editing block and razor blade you had my attention. That was me, 30-odd years ago. Now I do voice-overs at home. I'm furiously checking out Adobe Soundbooth. Sounds like the answer to my prayers.

Thanks so much. You have a new fan.

Hello Dan,

I'm new and green. Don't remember how I found it, but I have about 9 days remaining on my trial version of Soundbooth. I like it, and you just convinced me to buy it. Thank you for the expert review.
