Hi I agree that sound studio is very easy to use. Robert helped me a lot when I started and what he said in his email works for me too. The only thing I haven't been able to do is move to the end of a file without listening to it all the way through or fast forwarding. But I do like the programme and use it when I need to do small amounts of audio editing.
