Best Audio Editor?

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?

Fruit Loops is for making music, and it can be quite a hastle to convert things :p, 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)

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


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.

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

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

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.

try wavepad, it was really good when I was separating songs etc and its free afaik. :)

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

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
