Lee,
Thanks for the inputs. Reading between the lines I'm getting that
there are no trackers that you know of that are capable of plugging a
wave file in and running it, in time, like Acid can?
I've not don't much with time streatching programs before under
Linux. I think they are out there. Presuming that no one else shows up
and rescues us from this problem it appears that is the way to go I
guess.
thanks.
