I have a handheld recorder, an H1 Zoom, that records in two formats, either WAV or MP3. I usually use the WAV format since I think the sounds I record sound a little bit better. The trade off is that file sizes are considerably larger than the MP3's. What I record are just the ambient sounds around my home...helicopters flying overhead, birds singing in the trees, thunderstorms, the sounds of wind chimes...stuff like that
I usually just plug the H1 into the iMac and transfer the files to a folder I create on the desktop. My problem is this....I want to edit these files, (remove extraneous noises, combine different files, etc) and I just haven't had any luck so far. I've tried Garage Band but haven't figured out how to import the files...dragging them doesn't work. I can listen to them in iTunes..no problem, but how can I trim them and combine them, much as you would videos in programs such as iMovie and Adobe Premier?
Thanks for any suggestions!
Cheers!
