Mac, nice tip about the beeper. Made me thing of an even simpler beeper that everyone has - their voice! Why not, with every flub, just say in a monotone real loud into the mic 'BEEEEEEP' for a second or two? Then you can audibly/visually search for those sections?

When I have recorded voice-over sermons for my friend, we tracked in the same room as the PC, and I would hand write down his mistake times. Then I would start at the end of the file and edit backwards through so that the time stamps I wrote down remained intact.

Your idea is much better and allows editing from the front of the file.

Then after we were all done editing out flubs, we had to edit content for time as we had an exact 14 minute slot to fill.

I haven't had to do any of this editing for the past several months now. I got the pastor/buddy set up with his own system and one of the guys that lives at the half-way house that he runs is doing all the tracking and editing now. This was a guy that was homeless for a few years but he is the night manager at the half-way house now.

And yes, we do have to use some compression because the pastor doesn't hold back when he's on a roll!

But I feel a great sense of accomplishment as well as the pastor and the guy who does his recording/editing. You know, the whole teach a man to fish thing.
