Item splitting is very good (includes transients, fades, padding etc)Įxport functions are solid/many output options Items must be split to perform individual edits (normalization, fades etc)

See my update below.ĭefinitely a pro quality GUI & extensive preferencesĬan only play (not edit?) L/R channels independently with right-click > “Item settings'Ĭustom toolbars are useful but clunky to read **UPDATE: It is enough easy to use/output files. I could easily use this on a daily basis but for larger projects it might also not be enough. Speech recognition for labeling is an interesting feature Loads FX plugins either individually or as effect “stacks” Split by silences/markers is very thorough (with leading/trailing silence)Įxporting by markers is simple but few export options TwistedWave ($100) **This one checks all my boxesĪuto-detects selections to user-customizable zero-crossings (like Sound Forge)

I'd need to use this some more to get a better feel for it. It's feature-rich but also simple enough to be a contender. It's like an audio editor paired with a plugin FX processor. The FX chain is useful (with a plugins manager like Logic) Track splitting/exporting is clunky & not always accurate/useful Playback of L/R is just OK (global on/off switch) Unfortunately, it's occasionally unstable/buggy (particularly with some 3rd party plugins). This has been my go-to app for quick edits and recording simple and straightforward. Runs 3rd party FX plugins, but buggy/unstable with some Rudimentary “gap” marker & “Split by markers” More thorough than I expected (no wonder it's so popular) but some basic usability functions wouldn't mesh with how I work Zooming/highlighting requires key/mouse combos or menu clicksĬan’t play L/R channels without first splitting the stereo fileĬreating/exporting labels (regions) is a bit clunky (but offers leading/trailing silence)Īdding 3rd party FX plugins is also a bit clunky Stereo files displayed as a single track is a killer for me tho. I like the simplicity but it's missing a few basic features. “Smart split” is simple but it works & outputs splits easily The apps I tried range in price but most seem to fall under $100.ĭisplays stereo files as one waveform-no L/R editing/playback Splitting files into regions/markers/items intelligently and exporting them as files Playback/editing of L/R channels independentlyĪccessible edit functions (cut/paste, fade, normalization, etc) Good, logical GUI (user customization is a plus, running 3rd party FX is a plus) Many apps tout big feature lists but tbh I don't need a lot a few must-haves:Įasy to navigate/highlight audio with the mouse (ie. I make sample libraries, among other things, which involves a lot of zipping around large files, zooming/highlighting, making edits on L/R channels of stereo files (cutting/pasting, mixes, fades, normalization), then splitting them and outputting as individual files (sometimes many thousands).

What I didn't test is software intended for mixing/mastering or audio repair. There are understandably strong preferences about fav audio editors, and the tests I did were only focused on a few key features/usability things, so these are not a final verdict on any of the apps, just my takeaways.

I don't know if this list will be useful to anyone but I figure it's better to have it posted here than buried in the comments on another thread. See my addendum after this post.Ī couple days ago I asked the hive for 'waveform editor' recs and boy did I get some. Anyway, the good news is that we will follow Apple in the next MacIntel transition, keeping DSP-Quattro always updated and fully compatible with the very last Apple MacOS.**UPDATE** I've used TwistedWave for a few weeks and the results are interesting (mostly good, some bad). As I wrote also on another forum here on OSXAudio, we spent a LOT of time bringing all our C++ framework from Codewarrior to XCode. Unfortunately into the 2.5 there are not some important new features - mainly on the PlayList interface - which were on our plan.

It is a free upgrade to all 2.x registered users, available on December 2005. and dozens of other new features/improvements, mainly from user suggestions. Fully compatibility with the very last Apple SDK to be 'Intel ready'. New graphic engine based on MacOS X Quartz CoreGraphic for improved performances and graphic layouts I suppose I could wait until December when the new version will be released to find out but was wondering if anyone knew.
