Hi guys, I'm looking for some opensource software for editing music files and splitting them up...I have some music compilations several hours long each and I want to split them up into 'tracks' so that I can get more variety and shuffle between compilations. So I want to split up the file into smaller chunks. I know there are software out there for this but I wouldn't know where to look first... In addition, I'd also like an all-in-one program if at all possible that also lets me do the same with videos and too add sound to clips etc and add graphical blurps/text onscreen. I have heard about windows movie-maker being quite good but I have never used it and I am not sure what functionalities are available with the program. This is my first venture into this kind of activity so I'd also need it to be relatively simple...although I am not afraid of complicated procedures, all I mean something that is easy to pick up and play with. Thanks all
If your mp3 have an accompanying cue file, a cue splitter would be easiest. Otherwise audacity since it gives you a visual representation of the wave form it's usually easy to pick out the ends of songs. The only half decent free video editor I have used is Kino, but it's linux only.
Soundforge is also a good option for audio editing, Same visual representation of the wave. Not sure about what demo limitations would affect basic editing though.
Haven't had a chance yet to try, but I will give audacity a whirl. I have it downloaded for when I'm ready to use it....just need TIME...lol! BTW Thanks guys for the info!
