Modifying a Sound File

After you create a sound, you can make simple changes to the file, such as delete parts of the sound. You can also insert or merge a sound to an existing sound or add some simple sound effects, such as add an echo, play the sound backwards , and increase or decrease the volume and speed. When you insert a sound into an existing sound, the new sound replaces the original sound after the slider point. If you do not see a green line in Sound Recorder, the file is compressed, and you cannot modify it using Sound Recorder unless you adjust the sound quality to an uncompressed format.
