Easy Sound Editor

**mvdberg112** · July 12th, 2008

I would just want to edit music (e.g. WAV) files, mostly just:
* cutting off parts
* add several files together in one file
* increase, decrease the volume
I am not looking for a high end editing software. What is an easy to use software for Gnome (or KDE)?

I've just read the most excellent HowTo ever: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683

I just googled for it too.

I used to use Audacity. But I'm giving Marlin a try.

Have you found one suitable for your needs?

http://www.jokosher.org/ maybe? (probably a little overkill, but IIRC it should be simple to cut and paste)

Rezound is also cute but I mainly use audacity couse it has good analysis tools.

Another vote for Audacity. Does everything you mention, plus record sound, transcode to different formats/bitrates, apply effects, etc.

i've used audacity for the past six or seven years. it's good. but the change from sound systems in ubuntu confused me.
a simple editor would be good.
with audacity, it's always complicated to choose which sound source. also the version i'm using now seems a big buggy in the graphic editor (ie. detecting where to cut is almost impossible).

just installing rezound to check it out.
