Joining .wav files

[Albix714]

Hi, I need to re-track some music in .wav format. Will Cool Edit Pro do it or what is the standard software for this?
Thanks

shntool will do this, I liked using a windows shareware/freeware program called addawav (google for it)

Cool Edit should do it also.

open up the first file, and then go to "open append" and it will place the second right after the first.

fwiw, I use Cool Edit 2000, but I am assuming it's the same procedure in Cool Edit Pro.

i did this this morning in Audition.  it's very easy. took like 2 minutes to do 15 wavs.  if you want instructions, let me know.

Is there a demo version of Audtion? Cool Edit Pro 2 is only letting me join 2 files at a time, unless I'm missing something. I need to join 10 files.

yes there is a demo of audition, but i just realized that I did it in wavelab, not audition...  i'm sure audition can do it if you want me to walk you through it.

Get addawav -- it will join all the files you want into a single wave and is incredibly easy to use -- available for free at http://www.geffers.demon.co.uk/programs.html

Ok, I got it and I'll try it. Thanks

great, I'm here if you have questions

works fine for me, thanks again. I can't belive that Cool Edit can't do this simple task.

If the WAV files are on CD and you want to rejoin them, I always use EAC and instead of doing a regular extraction, I use "copy range" mode (action>copy range) and it will extract and rejoin all at once.   I use this all the time when I get shows on audio CD from folks and the indexing is funky or the recording otherwise needs some editing and it works great.  If the WAV files are on your HD instead then obviously this won't work.

I use wavemerge.  easy as hell.

I am not familiar with this software - is it freeware and/or is some info on it available somewhere?

so many posts, and only one shoutout to shntool!  for shame -- who needs a GUI when a shell will do just fine?

shntool join *.wav

I got it free a while back.  couldn't find any info doing a google search.  most of the 3 pages it came up with were where it was listed in source info.  I can email the zip to you..  I tried to attach the zip but it's over 512 kb.
