chenners Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 With the aid of an iMic and software such as Macromedia SoundEdit 16 and SoundApp, my Sony MZ-N707 and Mac OS 9 got along great (well, except for the real time wait when uploading). My Mac crashed last week and I couldn't recover any data on the HD without spending upwards to $500-800 for data recovery. I ended up upgrading to OSX and am looking for software programs to use for uploading and editing live recordings (in multiple formats - RealAudio clips, MP3s, .wavs, etc). I've seen other posts about the program Audacity but am not familiar with it. Any recommendations/suggestions for Mac compatible software?In the meantime, I've been experimenting with Sony Sound Forge on the PC. But due to hard drive size/storage limit constraints on the PC, I use Sound Forge for smaller sound clips instead of full songs. I'm more comfortable with loading up the Mac with large and unprocessed sound files (AIFFs) and would need to add more storage space if I'm to use the PC continuously for uploading/editing, which is another topic entirely to tackle. But Audition is PC and Mac compatible, no?Ah, cross platforming issues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Audacity does have a Mac version. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a paid program, but for straightforward recording (from the MD) and editing (.wav, .mp3, I don't know about Real) and adding effects, it's quite good. Its only quirk is extremely minor: it saves everything in its own format, .aup, so instead of Save (once you've edited) you have to tell it Export to .wav in its drop-down menu. Personally, I can live with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
