Recommend an audio editing/mixing software?

[randal]

Hello,

Recent mac switcher here, enjoying my shiny new iBook.

I do a lot of amateur mix CDs on my PC, for which I used the Acoustica Audio Mixer program. It was a bit crude, but perfect for my needs - volume/pan/rate controls, intuitive visual cutting & splicing. They don't, however, have a version for Mac.

Question:
Can anybody recommend a program that is similar to Acoustica? I need to be able to put all my tracks together, mess around with them, insert track dividers, and burn them as separate Mp3 or WAV files.

Thanks

thanks, i looked at that one but it doesn't quite suit my needs (although it's pretty good, been playing around with it for a bit now....). I'm not looking for software to use live, I need more of a focus on editing and sound manipulation, with an unlimited number of simultaneous tracks (or at least more than 4).

Erg sorry that's all I know of.

I don't know what the program you were using is, but perhaps garageband could do what you want.

Audio Hijack Pro (http://rogueamoeba.com) should do the trick.

Audition 1.5 (http://www.adobe.com/products/audition/main.html)

Garageband and Acoustica Audio Mixer seem like twins functionally, except Garageband is the smarter, better looking twin. I looked again and it seems like it's exactly what you are looking for. Take a look at

then take a look at

Amazingly close right? Go ahead, tell me it's not.
