Peakle Vs. Toast & Jam, Recording & Editing Options

[Wes460]

Application: Long Jazz Programs <5hrs>, audio recorded on Stereo VCR.
[H Johnson on WABE Atlanta]
Goal:
Transfer the Audio to my Mac, and then be able to edit out specific songs, and some of H Johnson's commentary inbetween songs. Ultimately to include specific tracks in iTunes or transfer back to CD. I need to be able to apply Fades to the Digitized Tracks: not simply trunkate them.
I have a trial Peak LE [received with my iMic] which appears to have the capability of the fade edit. Roxio just advised that Toast & Jam is required.

What do you think?

PS: I'm not a Pro and about 200 is all I want to spend on this... the Peak regular version at $4XX is out of the question. Peak LE is only 16 bits...but what the heck it's a transcribed radio broadcast!

Unless they changed the bundle, Peak LE comes in the box when you buy Toast With Jam. At least, it did with mine. That way, you get all three. A decent package, truth be told.

If they've dropped Peak LE from the box, buy TWJ anyway and add Sound Studio (Felt Tip Software) for the file editing. Really good shareware, very stable, OS X native and now capable of working with 24-bit audio files - all for $50.

Thanks...didn't do my home work. A bit of rip vanwinkle overwhelm going from system 7.6 to OS x. Peak Loaded fine <from jam> and the update was a no brainer <from Bias>
