Q 03: Can I remove the voice from a sound track, completely?

A: No, you cannot fully remove the voice from a track. Any program that promises to remove voices completely from a sound track will also remove any sound near the voice in the stereo spectrum.

Q 04: How long can CyberPower Audio Editing Lab record?

A: CyberPower Audio Editing Lab can consecutively record for as long as you like without interrupt. But still, we recommend not making long, continuous recording to a single audio file - there can be a technical limitation to the maximum file size permitted. This is imposed by the file system used on the hard drive. For example, in a FAT32 file system on Windows there is a 4GB limit. However, most computers these days are set up with NTFS file systems and no such limit is imposed. It is a difficulty to edit an audio file of this size and in fact it may lead to the failure of loading into audio editing software. Additionally, if the audio file needs to be sent to a third party (for example, as an email attachment), it may be barred by most mail servers due to its enormous size.

Q 05: I am trying to use CyberPower Audio Editing Lab, but it is not working properly. What could be the problem?

A: This is usually caused by the file's audio content using a codec that is not supported by the conversion module. Even though it plays properly in CyberPower Audio Editing Lab, the playback engine's supported codecs are different from that of the conversion module. You should ensure you're running the latest version of CyberPower Audio Editing Lab, if you're experiencing this problem, because we are always adding support for additional codecs as the software is updated.
