Thanks Herb. I appreciate your comments, and I especially appreciate your input on the high noise floor. It took a while to figure it out, but I finally found it. The original vocal had a really low volume level, so I used a booster plugin that is included in Sonar Platinum. I have used it a time or two before without problems, but this time it caused some static in the vocal track. Even though I had deleted the spaces in between my vocal waves, the static still was there. What I discovered was really weird. The vocal track was routed to the master buss, and for some reason the plugin static was showing up on master output. You could actually see it displayed on the master, so it was in effect, almost like a separate track on top of everything else. Thanks for letting me know about it. I have a profound hearing loss in some ranges, so even though I use earphones to mix with, I couldn't hear it. If I hadn't been able to actually see it in the graphics, I would have never found it. I wish I had your ears. Thank you so much. Be well Herb and Thanks much.
