app to create MP3s (cut up mixes and create new one)

[Zmmyt]

hi,

any suggestions what application to use to cut up long music mixes and create a new one?

I have plenty of 2-8 hour music mixes where I'd like to cut out segments and make my own party mix from.

thanks!

The only utility I know of that has the ability to trim and re-save mp3 files in NATIVE mp3 format is something called "MP3 Trimmer".

This means that the file is NOT
- decompressed before editing into an AIFF or something else
- edited, and then...
- RE-compressed back into mp3 (which means the file goes through "the lossy process" AGAIN, losing more audio info).

MP3 Trimmer (again) worked with the file "natively", no de- or re-compression.

There may now be OTHER utilities that can do this, but I don't know of them.

However, THERE'S A PROBLEM:
MP3 Trimmer IS NOT 64-bit compatible -- meaning it will run ONLY with OS Mojave or earlier.
This excludes all m-series Macs.

But IF you have an Intel-based Mac, and IF you're using Mojave or earlier, it's the best there is.

If anyone knows of a modern app that can work with mp3 files in their native format, please let us know...

Rogue Amoeba’s apps are all great, even if not cheap.

if your long music mix has short gaps between tracks, then Fission should automatically detect them - to save some manual time - and to apply splits and turn each track into separate chapterised files.

I have some 2-8 hour non-stop electro mixes where I would like to cut out the highlights and merge them into my person best of mix.

Dumb question on my part as I have never tackled this big a task. GarageBand can't do this? Free and is stock.

I’ve used it in the past to cut/paste mp3s to make ringtones.

not a dumb question. it looks like it won't let me import large audio files. if it is possible with garageband, it seems to be a rather cumbersome process. Fission lets me import files quickly, scrub threw them with ease and cut and export segments in a heart beat. will play a little more around with the free demo version before I decide to buy it or not.
