Thanks for your comments guys. @Julien Do you mean my speech speeds up or the gap between phrases is shorter? If it's the latter it would probably be easiest for me to just edit the track inserting bits of silence. @Harry Are you suggesting adding some reverb to the whole track or just ease it in where the synth lead comes in? Sorry if all this sounds fussy :) Incidentally, the actual speech is just 2 minutes long. I never realised just how hard it was to maintain an even pace, volume and clarity just for that short time. I now have more respect for public speakers! -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
