[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 345166, member: 9385"] I use Audacity (audacity.sourceforge.net) to edit mp3/wavs. It works very well, is free, and has multi-track support. It does have a few quirks under Mac OS, such as not saving long file names, no side scrolling, and occasionally crashing (very occasionally) but it is a pretty powerful program. I use it to break out recorded streams into individual tracks and 'twist up the ends' with fade-ins/fade-outs if a crossfade was used. Or to fix crossfaded tracks by taking a piece of the instrumental intro to paste over the part where the DJ attempted to screw up an attempted recording of a song. You can save to .wav, or .mp3 when you're done. As for editing songs purchased from the iTunes store, you have to do the 'burn to CD then re-import' trick to make them just a regular .wav, .aiff, or .mp3 first. Or, you can do what I do now which is run Audio HiJack Pro to record iTunes, play the song while recording, and then work on that recording. It's digital-digital, so quality loss is minimal, if at all (some audiophile will no doubt come in with a rant.) [/QUOTE]
