[Blindtlk] Deleting commercials in an audio selection.

[Mike Freeman]

You can delete a selection, either between points or everything *but* the selection between two points. You can move around the recording in intervals from one-tenth of a second to fifteen or thirty minutes -- I forget which.

Open the clip you wish to edit with TotalRecorder. Now tab through the dialog you are presented with (JAWS may lose focus so you'll have to Alt-Tab to get back). You'll see several combo boxes; one adjusts the skip interval used when pressing spacebar on the "left", "right", "to start", "to end" buttons you'll see in the dialog. Once you've found the start (leftmost) point youw wish to delete, hit a capital L. That marks the "left" position. Hitting a lowercase l moves you back to the point. Now find the end of the segment to delete. The keystrokes to mark and move to that spot are capital R and r respectively. Now just hit the delete key.

There are many mor complexities to this dialog and things you can do. Look at the various menus and you'll find what I think is called the "Effects" menu where you can adjust things like recording speed, normalized volume and a plethora of other stuff, depending upon which ad-ons for TR you've purchase.

Playing with the program is the best way to learn.

Greetings to all:

I am looking for an accessible audio program where I can delete a selected clip, such as a commercial.  I use TotalRecorder and love it, but, as far as I can determine, there isn’t the ability to delete a selection.  I would be glad of anyone’s advice.  I am using Windows 8 and Jaws 14.

Thanks.

Judy
