Editing/remixing Software, Freestyle type tape-editing on the Mac Options

[keybie]

I'd like to get started "tape style" editing on my Mac, but so far haven't found much software for this kind of thing.
By editing I'm thinking about the same sort of thing people back in the days used to do with reel-to-reel recordings, splicing tape, repeating small bits and pieces etc. You'd often hear it in 80s "Freestyle" music.

Anyway, I've understood that what I need is software that allows you to divide the song file into sections, or a grid, so as to easier divide the sections you want to edit.
I've found one application which does this called Wave editor, but it costs US$ 250 and seems very advanced and complex, so I was wondering if there is other software available which will do the same sort of thing?

I'm also considering buying Logic express, for multi-track recording my own music, but I suppose it doesn't handle the above kind of editing as well, does it?

Hello Kebie,

Actually I use Digital Performer. Here's what you do. In the EDIT window of your DAW; (1) select a short piece of audio; (2) go to the edit pull down menu thats on that same EDIT window and hit COPY; (3) that short piece of audio has been copied into your copy buffer. Now, where ever you put your cursor and you hit paste from the edit menue, that short piece of audio will be pasted (copied) to an audo track. To get the "stuttering effect" paste several copies one after the other. Check out COPY AND PASTE in yout manual.

If money is problem, that a look at METRO from Sagan and TRACKTION from Mackie - both very good programs.

Hope this helps,
