Hi,

I'm looking for a sound mixer in which you can put multiple sounds on top of each other without restriction. I found this program called DBaudiomixerEditor but I am not sure if it is the best. Also, does anyone know of any programs that convert audio formats? I got cool music in MIDI format that I want to convert to wav so it is compatable with AS


Thanks

Awesome, free, program..

But, it says that it can not yet play MIDI files but can only import them. Anyone know of any good programs that can translate MIDI sound files to Wav?

I've never used it myself, but I've heard very good things about SynthFont, which converts MIDI directly to WAV. Normally, what I do is play MIDI files through my sound card (SB Extigy) and use a recording program that came with it to record the sound as a WAV, then I import it into Audacity for any further work that I want to do to it.

About Audacity,

Is there any way to move pieces of sound around. I've created my soundtrack in parts but when I play them they end up starting at the same time in audacity. I might have to just recreate it so that there are pauses where other sound is going but I want to know if this is possible to do this.

With audacity you can copy, paste, insert silence delete a region of sound, composite several channels.... It is not so difficult to use. The edition mode in audacity depends on your cursor mode.

See the screenshot.

Oh, I get it now. You have to add silence before where you copy and paste. This is helpful because I got a different program for voice changing and it is extremely hard to get the voice exactly right. So, it would be easier to do the
whole thing in parts and copy and paste them together.

Thanks.

I use music studio by MAGIX

It is useful because it allows multi tracking and
all the cool sound manipulation you need,
plus it allows you to track your animation as
a little sequential film to keep track.

Plus it isn't too expensive.

Another free audio app. you might like is Kristal. It 's free (at least the last time I use it) and works as a multitrack app. I have only used it a few times but did the job.
