- Well, it's good that the program supports ARexx -- it *is* useful --
- but in this case it just won't cut it. I usually need to keep the two
- stereo tracks precisely synched, and I don't want to have to insert
- exactly the right amount of silence to keep the part following what I
- edited in one track where it was. I need a program that can remember
- at what sample number a certain pattern started (not a complicated as
- it sounds) for me, so I don't have to count off the size of what I
- cut minus what I paste. I also need to be able to play both tracks
- together while I work, so converting to mono is out of the question.
- Oh well. Guess I still have to write my own sample editor. What a
- pain.

- Thanks for the information, though.
