Storyline 2 Sound tools and Storyline 1 sound bugs?

Hello all!

I record lots of voiceover narration within Storyline 1 for our client video slide shows, imported from Powerpoint files prepared by our account managers—mostly open enrollment and new hire benefit presentations. I’m using an HP laptop with Windows 7 Pro.

TOOLS--The sound editing tools in Storyline 1 are pretty bare bones. There are no filters, but not not enough background noise in my recording setup to need them for the whole recording. But I do need to silence the pauses.

Does Storyline 2.0 include any upgrades to the sound editing tools? Being able to select multiple sections to silence at once would be a huge time-saver. There’s no way to do it in Storyline 1. Same for overall filters. It would be great to have them but I haven’t seen them mentioned anywhere.

BUGS—In Storyline 1 if I want to silence the end of a recording I must use volume controls. If I just use “Silence Selection” it silences the selection—AND moves it forward 10-30 seconds into the middle of the sound track!

Also on occasional—and unpredictable—slides, the recorded sound will be stuttered or have dropouts, requiring re-recording. Obviously a pain in the you-know-what! Has anybody else experienced these problems, especially in Storyline 2?

I’m trying to make a case to my boss to spend the $$ on the upgrade and need to address these issues to help do it.

Thanks!
