- No CDWav equivalent. Yes, I have managed with great effort to split up shows with Audacity and Peak, but there is nothing as simple and elegant as CDWav. There just isn't. (Oh, and fon't forget to fix those SBE's!)
I just figured something good out the other day about Sound Studio. I can't believe that I'm the 1st but I haven't found it posted yet so here it is:
Sound Studio guide to tracking files without SBE's (I've used version 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 ...I'm not sure if 2.2.4 works the same):
1. 'View' menu: Check 'Grid Shown' and 'Snap to Grid'
2. 'View' menu: 'Edit Grid' > Set 'Offset to first grid line' to 0:00.000 and 'Spacing between lines' to 0:01.000. If you want to you could use 'samples' (instead of h/m/s) in which case you would make 'Spacing between lines' = to a multiple of 75. I find 1 second grid lines to be more useful..especially since my brain already thinks in terms of h/m/s and not samples.
3. Now you can add your markers as usual. Since they will always snap to the nearest grid line and the nearest grid line will always be on a sector boundary there are no SBE's!
4. These changes do not need to be made everytime. They will stay put (unless you trash your prefs).
I've done this about 4-5 times now and it's worked everytime. I'll run the files through xACT and they come back with the "everything seems ok, nothing to fix" message everytime. This fact, combined with my increasing familiarity with Sound Studio, caused me to
actually purchase the software!
ps- pardon me if I've just stumbled upon something that everyone else already knew.
