Quattro Pro has many fans and is cheaper. For multi channel, Logic Express or ProTools LE. ------------------------------ From: Edwin Hurwitz Subject: Re: DAT-heads Digest #955 Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2006 12:27:14 -0600 At 1:50 PM -0400 9/28/06, Sam Upton wrote: > > > >I was wondering what software Mac users are using for recording/editing. >I have been using Adobe Audition/Cooledit on my Windows machines.

DSP Quattro is cheaper than the full Peak, but I find the interface a little more convoluted.

Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2006 15:40:29 -0400 For simple conversions (sample rate, gain, normalizing, etc) of a whole file, Barbabatch works very well, and uses quality algorithms. For actual editing (splicing, fading, tone adjustment, etc) Bias Peak is popular, but the algorithms are not really all equally high quality, and every time they fix one set of bugs, they introduce another. In one version, markers kept on appearing, disappearing and jumping from place to place. Without rhyme or reason saving a file after just adding a marker or region may or may not involve rewriting the whole file. Sometimes SD II files are needed for burning a CD, other times if it isn't an AIF file, burning won't work. Your mileage may vary. ------------------------------ From: Sam Upton Subject: Mac software - thanks for all of the help/advice! Reply-to: sam.upton@verizon.net Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2006 18:13:08 -0400 Thanks for the quick and knowledgeable responses to my question. From the responses I've seen, Audacity has the most fans (free, why not!). One Brother endorsed Sound Studio and I got the url for Amadeus II that I am going to test. I'm writing this so I can share the information, as more than a couple of people were interested in other programs than the ones they were using. Sound Studio has a $30 instant rebate (total cost minus shipping $49.99) at MacMall: http://www.macmall.com/macmall/shop/detail~dpno~641055.asp Amadeus II is a program that supports FLAC and costs only $30 and is a download. They have a trial version here: http://www.hairersoft.com/AmadDownload.html Audacity is open source freeware. I have an Intel-Mac and they have a couple of betas for Intel Macs, but reading the Forum it looks to be pretty buggy. What the heck, though (again), it's free. Perhaps the stable non-Intel version is more stable. Here's Audacity's link: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Here's the link to the Intel-Mac versions and forums: http://audacityteam.org/mac/ One kind soul gave me a list of other programs he has heard of but not used - among which are: Digital Performer, Cubase, Nuendo, Spark. I haven't researched these yet. Thanks again to the many who have offered their sage advice, and if anyone has any further thoughts, I would love to hear from them. take care, Clancey ------------------------------ From: The Kenster Subject: Andy Summers Radio shows Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2006 20:06:27 -0700 (PDT) Andy Summers has an Autobiography due out in October and will be doing a "book tour" and I'm hoping to find some Jazz lovers out here in the DAT world who would be so kind as to record the radio shows and if perhaps someone reading this in Costa Rica (or knows someone in Costa Rica) can tape tomorrow night, that would be incredible.

I've always liked Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/); also, SoX (http://sox.sourceforge.net/) should be able to work on OS X too.

So I have the 90 mins version of this shows. It's directly came from the original master cassette to my DAT. If anyone has the original masters of the other shows, I will trade (original taper or master tapes holder, ONLY). ------------------------------ ** FOR YOUR REFERENCE ** To unsubscribe from this digest, please send email to dat-heads-unsubscribe@datheads.phish.net If your email address has changed, you may (optionally) send the message to dat-heads-unsubscribe-oldaddress=olddomain@datheads.phish.net and the old address will be removed.
