No, but I didn't find their website particularly accessible. I mean,
it'd work if I were unlazy and used VO-h on all of their
links, but alas. :) I've just been googling for "cocoa sound editor
os x," which reveals something costing nearly $300 which is a bit
beyond my budget.
I've tried SoundStudio, and it has a few capabilities, but nothing
near what I was looking for. Today's task was to downmix stereo waves
to mono then remix to stereo with the single channel panned off-
center, a quite simple task that I couldn't seem to manage in SS
because I couldn't find some sort of track selector, or some means of
working with individual tracks. Someone please let me know if I
missed it. Again, I dropped to sox and managed it rather easily via
the command line, but I'd like to do more complex edits for Surreal
Horizons audio and possible podcast-style promotions, and I don't
have the patience to do that with sox. If anyone knows of anything up
to the challenge of editing pre-recorded audio tracks (normalizing,
cutting-and-pasting, etc.) then do let me know. Or if I've missed
this in SoundStudio then do let me know as well. I'm not sure if
there's something in the scrollbar in the main window that might
help, if I've missed a menu option, etc.
