I am looking for two features in a simple track editor to enhance the live shows I burn to CD:
1) Allow me to change the output volume of a song that is any given length. GarageBand can do this with Track Volume, but seems to only import the first 6:40 of a song. I often download live performances of tape-friendly bands where songs can run upwards of 20 minutes, but a track might contain 5 minutes of crowd noise at the beginnng (or end) of a song that I want to delete by tapering up/down the output volume. 2) Affect the EQ and compression output settings. Since these discs are for my own enjoyment I am not looking to spend a lot of $$. Does anyone know of an inexpensive app that can do this? Name and web address of your suggestion would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance, DBinNC |

look up felt tip soundstudio, or maybe Amadeus II (in macmusic's cool software directory). Those are inexpensive, good programs for this kind stuff, Also they host VST/AU plugins I think - there are lots of free EQ/compressors out there in both those formats - take a look in said directory!
For a list of free stuff, I will direct you to a page of mine: http://music2.arvidtp.net/Guide.html . Audacity (open source and free) is easily able to do these things, but a little slow on the interface if you have a slower mac. best of luck, -------------------- -Arvid •• Squish the Squid Productions, Modest Machine

Arvidtp - Thanks for the quick reply. Will look at these and let you know. Am new to Mac, so I am learning (and truly enjoying) the new experience. Thanks again.
