I need to do a very basic edit on a couple of mp3 recordings. All I want to do is chop the file in half and turn it into 2 files. I've never screwed around with editing audio before so keep it simple please. Is there some accessible software I can use to do this? If it matters, I'm using JAWS 11 and can either do it on a Windows XP or Windows 7 machine. Thanks for any suggestions.
goldwave is probably the easiest way to do something like this. i believe F4 or space bar is play, F5 is rewind, F6 is fast forward, and F7 is pause. ..get it to the point where you want to split and use the edit menu to drop in q points or markers and then when done i think under options or tools there is asplit at cue point or markers option. BVeen a while since i had to do this so sorry for the lack of details.
yes, goldwave definitely the best for that. press control q at the beginning of the file, then play it until the point where you want to split it, hit control q at that point, then go into the edit menu/q points/split file and it will give you options where to save the file/in what format etc. you can put as many q points is as you want thus splitting the file into as many different parts as you want. hth.
Thanks. I'll check into that.
Not only that, but if you get more comfortable with it, you can even put in automated cue points, to divide a file in to set chunks. www.goldwave.ca
Not as easy as sf in my opinion, but the trial version should get the job done for you.
