Topic: Newbie tech help - editing on a Powerbook

[boarderx5423]

Alright, I am just getting started in the taping world so sorry if this seems like a stupid question and I apologize if this is in the wrong section.  I have my rig all set up, using the JB3 as my capture device, but I don't know what programs I should be using on my computer to edit the tape, type the text, seperate the tracks, etc...

I am using an Apple PowerBook and I would like to know what programs I will need.  I have XNJB to get the files from the JB3 to the powerbook and I have Flac Frontend to convert it, but I would like to know what other programs I will need. 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome! You will need a means of splitting tracks and doing some simple edits if need be. Audacity is a program that does this reasonably well, and it's free.

he said he was using xNJB to connect his jb3 to his mac.  This program basically eliminated the itunes plugin method.

Yeah I've really never had a problem with xNJB.  I'm just glad they have it, for a while compatability between many Nomad products and Apple's were unheard of!

i havnt really had any problems with itunes and the jb3, a few minor glitches maybe, but nothing serious. i grabbed xnjb last night though, i looks pretty nice, i have a show to transfer this weekend, ill have to give it a shot. +ts for pointing me to it.

Garage Band?  That'll get things going until you're ready to go off the deep end!!!
