One thing to remember with recording live for duplication or sale, is that a live speaker can make a gaffe, large or small, that your church may not want widely distributed. Editing before distribution is wise and lends itself to creating tracks where you want the break. I remember one sermon where someone's bushy beard was mistakenly described a verdant. Another time, a speaker from Asia when describing how one crosses ones leg ( as when sitting down), mistakenly said you cock your leg. He was amazed because the joke wasn't supposed to be that funny, until we explained that that was the usual position when a male dog urinates. Even with his dark skin, you could still see the blush. -- Hooroo, Simon Registered Linux User #463789.
