We use iTalk on the iPad to record [very straightforward] & I have converted the aiff-C audio files it produces to MPEG-4 on a Mac and reduced the size by about ⅔. Several times during recording she sneezed and I can't find a way to simply cut them out! QuickTime only lets me select a portion to save - and trim away the rest! This means I can not simply snip a bit out of the middle. The help files don't help. I do not wish to do any very sophisticated editing or buy complex and expensive software for a seemingly small job. What am I missing? I must be missing something fairly basic! I would also like to add two audio files to one another - end to end. Is this possible? 2013-05-23T18:04:13+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/904#4004 Trevor Hewson info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ I think GarageBand will do what you want. 2013-05-24T10:34:11+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/904#4005 Mark Ford info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Thanks Trevor .... but Garage Band wont open either kind. I have managed to cut out bits [even the noise of page turns!] by using Audacityand then download a plugin that lets me save the finished work as an mp3. So far so good.. Now to try to join recordings end -to-end. 2013-05-24T13:16:38+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/904#4006 Mark Ford info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Found it. All a bit clunky but plenty of help files. 2013-05-26T15:36:41+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/904#4007 Mick Burrell info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ May not be helpful if you want to record on the iPad but could you not record straight on to the Mac in GarageBand (or get GarageBand for iPad)? It will allow the processing you want and it's easy to use. 2013-05-28T11:58:51+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/904#4013 Mark Ford info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Thanks Mick - I can't fit Garage Band onto my iPad. iTalk on the iPad is low-threat technology that is being gently slipped into everyday/kitchen table life in the Ford household!
