Best Audio Editor?

[Jessi]

basically I just need a program that can separate a sound file into several sound files, without losing quality, and without too much hassle. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Fruity Loops.
Here is a demo: http://www.tucows.com/preview/209204

Fruit Loops is for making music, and it can be quite a hastle to convert things , you'd also have to learn a bit to seperate a song (afaik it only lets you import midi files).

The best out there is Audacity.

You can use it to open WAV, MP3 and OGG files, and convert them to each-other, it can also do all kinds of effects to the song, and it's easy to select and cut bits of the song .

The only catch is that (for one time only) if you need to convert to mp3, you need to download this file:

http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?lame_enc

When you convert to MP3, it will ask you to locate this dll, so simply find it, and then you'll be able to convert things to MP3 whenever you like .

Other than that, it already converts to .WAV and .OGG easily .

Hope this helps!

I tried Audicity and it didn't work for me. Re-installed a few times, and it didn't work.
I was trying to simply open an .mp3 song that my brother made, to edit it, and it just wouldn't open. (It said it did, but nothing happened)

 

[Jindo]

Really? It's worked for me every single time I've installed it .


Hopefully it'll work for Jessi, or maybe you need lame_enc.dll to OPEN mp3 files as well as export them.

I have Audacity, and it lets you open MP3 files without having the DLL. I'd recommend Audacity as well, it's pretty simple to use, and has an easy interface.

Maybe that has something to do with it?

I'll dl the dll, see if it's that.

All he did was record it, and upload to comp It plays fine in a media player.

Works wonderfully, thank you very much.

Yes, however I would not recommend saving them as MP3's from audacity, as it doesn't have any controls on the quality of the mp3. Export it as a wav and use razorlame.

Its free for 14 days, then they remove alot of the features. If I remember correctly, one of those was saving as MP3.

I may be wrong though

FlexiMusic Audio Editor is a good start for editing audio, i used it to split and edit my MP3s, i cannot found any hassles in this software.
