I'm afraid I don't know of any good sound programs, but you might try `www.dogpile.com' and serch for sound-related stuff. It has proven its usefulness as a search engine on many {shiver} occasions.
Oh, the frozen shorts come from two seperate areas of the ASW WebBoard.

Amen. While you people are at it, see if you can find a good graphics editor other than GraphicConverter.

1. Go get 'SoundApp' at ( (url="http://"http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~franke/SoundApp/")http://www-cs-studen...ranke/SoundApp/(/url) ). It's freeware. It's small.

2. Go get 'Pro Tools Free' at ( (url="http://"http://www.digidesign.com/ptfree")http://www.digidesign.com/ptfree(/url) ). It's freeware. It's big and somewhat bloated, and requires you to turn virtual memory off, and maybe go and download OMS and install that, too.

3. Get the manuals for Pro Tools while you're at it, or go onto GlueBubble's hotline server and get the first draft of my 'Brief Guide to Sound Design,' and read the 5 minute intro to Pro Tools.

4. Convert MP3 to SDII: Launch Soundapp. Under the Convert menu, set your options to 'Sound Designer II", "PCM", "44100", "Stereo", "16-bit". Go back to the Finder, drag and drop your MP3 on SoundApp while holding down SHIFT. Select a place to save it to.

5. Quit Soundapp, launch ProTools. Make a new project, make two audio channels, bring up the Edit window, and click on the Audio Tray's head (where it says "Audio" on the far right") and choose "Import File". Go find the file you just created. When it's done importing, drag it over to the top track of the two. Bingo, you can now edit your audio.

6. Select the parts you don't want with the Selector, and hit 'Delete'. You now have audio regions of the parts you do want. Move them around with the Grabber and re-arrange as you see fit.

7. When you're happy with it, Bounce it to Disk. I believe this is in the file menu. It will spit out a two-channel SDII file. Use SoundApp to convert it to the more universal AIFF format, and you can use iTunes or most other MP3 encoding software to get an MP3 out of it.
