Topic: Mac track splits?

[joeshambro]

Anyone have a better way to do track splits than Peak?  I've been using it but it's a pain in the ass... when it writes the tracks, it writes them to the same filename so I have to be quick and rename each file as it gets written to avoid that problem.. it's a pain in the ass.

I miss being able to use CDRWin, to the point I'm thinking of getting my PC out of storage and using it for that purpose.

Any suggestions?

peak is the worst program ever created.  there are tons of options for you

i recommend either spark or sound studio.

anyway, it can be done in peak, i think you're doing something wrong if it's naming everything the same....but like i said, ditch peak and go to spark or sound studio

Gotta go with Scott on this one.  Spark XL is what I use exclusively, and it works great.  Before that I used Sound Studio (actually paid $50 for a piece of shareware), and it works as well.  The only thing I don't like about SS is that it takes a while to load each recording, whereas once Spark creates and overview file it opens the recordings instantly.

I haven't been able to get Spark to work on my machine but Sound Studio works great for me - I paid the shareware fee as well and have no regrets. It definitely takes a bit to open the files and process them (normalizing or resampling) but I hardly do any editing to my recordings at all other than the above. My only quarrel beyond the slowness is the inability to zoom in to the sample level - if you want to do that, Sound Studio can't.

But dropping markers doesn't get any easier than Apple-M.

what's the problem again?  i forget

I'd hit record and it would never actually do anything -  just sit there and blink at me without opening a new file to start recording. But since the software wasn't what was causing my transfer issues (it was some bad RAM), I never looked into it any further...

[scb]

wonder if the ram had anything to do with it...

With Spark not working? Hmm. Maybe I'll give it another whirl.
