Edit .wav in Garageband? Or????

OldManJimbo · Aug 14, 2004, 02:41 AM

A speech I gave at a convention is on CD in .wav format. I would like to edit out the UMs, AHs and silly things. Can this be done in Garageband? Or some other application on my PowerBook?

You could use Bias Peak 4. It's what i use to record/edit my vinyl/live preformances. Seems to work pretty well. They've got a free trial.

I was hoping that one of the little apps that came with the PB would be able to do this - is there a way to covert the .wav format to something the Garageband can open?

I use SoundStudio. It's a great app, and it came free with my iBook for some reason. Part of the bundle. It uses Quicktime, so it can open ANY format that Quicktime suppots, that includes any formats gained from plugins (Vorbis, etc...). If you choose a video file, it will open the audio stream. It dosen't manipulate the origional file unless it is one that SoundStudio can save to. I know it saves in AIFF. It may save in WAV, and others.

Edit: I'm pretty sure it is a free download if it wasn't included with your Mac. Google it.

Edit 2: I just realised that you may be able to open a Protected AAC file in it, and because it is being saved as an AIFF, there won't be quality loss, because AIFF is lossless. I think. Uh oh. QUICK DOWNLOAD SOUNDSTUDIO BEFORE APPLE PULLS IT! Not that I suggest you pirate your AACs...

I don't find this APP on my PowerBook, not can I find it on Google.

Thanks Duff-Man, you beat me to it!

And as for you spikymohawks it's painfully obvious that you're a newbie if you're posting material like that here. My advice to you is to smarten up or else you'll be banned - I'm surprised you haven't been already! Not cool man, not cool.
