09 Aug 04 - 06:52 AM (#1243070) Subject: BS: Simple Audio Editing Program From: karen k I am in the process of transfering tapes to cd. I have a dual cassette deck on which I first make a new tape taking out what I don't want. My problem is not getting smooth transitions between songs. Sometimes I want to take out all the clapping or some of the clapping or eliminate some of the talking. Sometimes I am able to pause the tape I am recording to exactly right and other times I cannot. So, I am looking for a simple program that will allow me to do these kinds of things. It really has to be simple. I don't want a lot of bells and whistles. I just want to be able to clean it up after after I have trasferred the edited tape to cd. Any suggestions? I did a thread search under audio editing and didn't find anything. So, if anyone can point me to an existing thread I'd appreciate it. Thanks, karen |

Audacity is another freebie program that allows you to trim a wav file - it also has allows you to do fade ins and outs... |

But currently I'm using WaveFlow which isn't bad. www.waveflow.com |

10 Aug 04 - 03:49 PM (#1244389) Subject: RE: BS: Simple Audio Editing Program From: Cluin A demo version of Cool Edit 96. Powerful, not hard to learn, free (since Syntrillium doesn't make the program anymore), and versatile. It's an older version of the program but I've been using it for years and it still works well in Windows XP. |

11 Aug 04 - 07:25 AM (#1244628) Subject: RE: Simple Audio Editing Program From: treewind Another vote for Audacity : absolutely perfick for track trimming and the like. Not a demo version of anything, the real program totally free, and runs on more platforms than most. (Mac/Windows/Linux/Unix) Anahata |
