You see a graphical representation of the sound wave. Zoom right in. You see each point where the wave crosses over the zero line in the middle? That's a "zero crossing". Basically, if you want to cut a piece of audio (without any sort of click where it has been cut), it helps to cut the wave file exactly where the audio line crosses the horizontal zero line. This is because the wave will usually have a nice smooth transition to the silence following it. The alternative is to apply a fast fade-out to the audio, instead of just cutting it. If this wasn't clear enough, then I apologise. I'm rushing, because I have a very busy few days ahead... Please ask. Regards Michael
