[RWP] audio level bassed recording in reaper

[colin McDonald]

thanks allot.
I'll play around with your suggestions.
I used gold wave before and it had both the threshhold vox, as well as the 
pre buffer to eliminate the on-off sound.
this should work for my situation though, thanks again.

Regards
Colin
