Editing Audio

[Scott]

Is there any good, or even ok, software for editing
audio, or can Movie Maker be used to just edit audio. I
know Movie Maker does good with video but can it be used
just for audio files.

Hello there,

The best software I have seen is Audacity. Its Free and can be obtained
from the Audio link on my website

Depends on what you want to do with the audio, which is?

After captureing the audio I will need to cut out parts
of the track and then I am using producer to syncronize
it with powerpoint slides.

Is teh audio part of a video file, or just an audio tape. If it's part of a
video file, drop it on the audio timeline and use MM2 as it's quite easy to
do that.

Hello there,

Its just an audio track.

Go to my website and visit the audio section of "LINKS" and download
Audacity. The program is free and is very good indeed. It should meet all of
your future needs with respect to editing audio.

Best Wishes.....John Kelly

I've never tried just using an audio track, but I suppose it should work.
Just tried it and it's fine, it just gives you audio choices for saving in
when you get that far!

Try Audacity, it's a free audio editor. You can record sounds, play sounds,
import and export WAV, AIFF, Ogg Vorbis, and MP3 files, and more. You can
use it to edit your sounds, mix tracks, or apply effects to your recordings:
