  • Page 3 ® Introduction VoxPro6 is used for recording, editing, playing, sharing and managing audio files, particularly in broadcast contexts where two-channel (stereo) recording is the norm. A robust file storage system allows files to be stored anywhere on the LAN, accessed from any VoxPro computer on the LAN, and shared with any VoxPro user on the LAN.

    Figure 1.1 – Main VoxPro6 window in Classic mode. Figure 1.1 shows the main VoxPro6 window in “classic” mode, with the waveform editor filling most of the upper half, and the file list in the lower half. In this particular case, a short region of the file in the middle of the display has been selected for editing, and is therefore highlighted with a pale yellow waveform on a light gray background.

    A cancelled Insert‑Record cannot be recovered.

    Additional Record Options The default name given to new recordings may be changed in the Record Options dialog box, accessible from the Settings menu.
