[comp.sys.sun] Looking for a Sound Editing program

lwv27@CAS.BITNET (08/09/90)

Does anyone have a program to edit a SunOS 4.1 SS1 sound file?  What I
mean is it would display the sound perhaps as a wave form with something
like a 'measure' perhaps, and allow a person to delete sections,
replication sections, and perhap even tweak sections of the waveform.

Doug Scott has written a pretty fancy X-based soundfile editor which runs
quite nicely on Suns.  Only problem is that it is designed to work with
high-quality audio (16-bit linear), but a little data massaging to get the
CODEC (or whatever format is used by Sparcstations) samples into a useable
format shouldn't be too hard.  It's got lots of fun signal-processing
routines hung on it, too (for those vocal samples that simply *must* be 3
semitones lower...).

Contact Doug via doug@woof.columbia.edu.  He's a bit scarce for the next few
weeks, though.
