Easy audio appending and cutting

[craigb]

Ok, I've got some audio that I'd like to cut up and append parts together.  We're talking very crude stuff here (no, not "that" kind of crude S.L.I.P.!?).  These are mostly spoken hypnosis scripts, so precise wave matching is not necessary.

It's been so long since I've done this type of quick work, that the tools I used back then are very old.  I figured I'd see what some of you have found that works well and is more recent.

If nobody has a recommendation, then I'll go my normal route of researching the so-called "best" tools using Google searches, but I'm guessing that SOMEONE here has needed this ability without having to resort to using Bandlab which would be complete overkill.

TIA! ??

CBB would be overkill, but since you already have it & know how to use it I think it would make sense to just use that.

True, but it's not on my home or work computers...  It's still stuck on a server I have buried in storage.

Goldwave is a great audio editor

*ZZZZZZzzzzz....*  *Must remember to tell Paulo that JonBouy has all my money already...* *Ooo, ooo, eee, eee, aaa, aaa!*  *Flaps arms and then drags knuckles on floor before looking for a banana...* *Finds out that I already have Audacity on my computer and had completely forgotten about it - probably needs a serious update...*  *Must remember to thank Paulo; maybe he'll want a banana too?"

Earlier versions of Tracktion?

Also, the cheep or freebie video editors like cyberpunk or maybe Adobe premiere all have those simple editing tools.

Audacity is really cheap (free) and has more than enough editing tools to accomplish what you need.
