Perhaps I am just ignorant about the digital sound business these days. My use of Sound Editor is limited to recording analog audio to digital from my 4-track reel-to-reel system, then breaking up each tape into its individual cuts and storing them (as .wav files, right now) on my hard drive. When I'm done, I'll spend more time working on organizing them, and probably convert them to mp3 files for smaller space requirements. My hearing just isn't that good, anyway!
When I'm cleaning up the recorded raw tape file (also a .wav), I clean up the crackles and pops in the between-bands from the original phono LPs (Pre-rec tapes are absolutely awesome). I also standardize on exactly 2.25 seconds between cuts, and start each track in .25 seconds silence. Recently I realized that if you zoom in far enough, SE will break a second into pieces on the display. but the seconds are broken into thirds! it will display as 10:22:00, 10:22:25, 10:22:50, 10:23:00, 10:23:25, etc. If you drag a select cursor, it will show the length at the lower right of the screen, like 10:22:72, 10:22:73, 10:22:74, 10:23:00, 10:23:01, etc.
I don't understand this time format! Is it related to video timing or something? I'd rather see mm:ss.hh where hh = hundredths of a second. then 00:02.50 would be 2-1/2 seconds, not 2-2/3 seconds as it appears to be now. What's up?
