Yup. I typically record in AIFF 44.1KHz mono which is CD quality.
Apparently the free Audio Recorder app I use will go up to 192kHz but my
input isn't that high a quality anyway. Mostly just spoken voice. Also,
when you make a new QT container to paste into you can save it as either
self-contained or as a reference movie. The reference will be tiny as all
it does it point to pieces of the original file. Of course that means you
have to keep the original around, but you can make multiple versions all
pointing to the original without eating up disk space.

Hello,
I've done a little basic editing cut and paste in both audio and video.
For example, in one recording I had a segment where there was a fair
amount of noise such as coughing. This is what I did. I played the
recording till I got to a spot just prior to the coughing. I pressed the
space bar to pause the playback. Then I held down Shift, Option and
Command. While holding these down, I pressed the space bar to restart
playback. Then just after the segment I wanted to cut, I released Shift,
Option and Command. Without doing anything else, I hit Command X to cut
the section. Then I pressed the Go to Beginning and replayed the
recording and it had a clean edit, I couldn't tell where the coughing
was, but for the fact that I knew that was where it was. This is just an
example. I've also pasted in segments from other recordings.
One word of advice. If you are going to do any editing on either Audio or
Movies, I suggest you set the recording to Native. This is under the
preferences under the Recording button. This is a real high bit rate, but
it allows for smooth editing. Later you can use other programs to
resample if you want.
This has been my experience so far with QuickTime Pro.
HTH.

Hi Chris,
Thanks,
I purchased it and it does what I need. The basic cut and paste editing
works just fine.

For me my company paid for it so it was worth it :) I was using it to
take video captures and convert them to something that could be
handled by a photosensitivity and epilepsy analysis tool which would
only accept AVI cinepak.

Hello Chris,
Thanks for responding.
Are all the audio recording functions clearly available to VO users?
I suppose my next question is subjective, but...
Do you think it's worth the price?
Thanks,

I can't say whether ALL functions are available but I can select a
range to cut and paste into a new move and play with the EQ etc. Is
there anything you'd like me to try? I did have to do the VO-F2
twice to pick the eq window. Apparently it isn't a 'real' window
that I could just switch to via Apple-~.

the EQ.
Thanks in advance.
