Hi Omar,
I use cool edit pro 1.2a to trim files, normalize
them, EQ them, etc. I now
have some cool edit filters, so that it can import
and export to and from
mp3, ogg, wma and flac. Flac is a cool compression
format, because unlike
other lossy formats like mp3 and ogg vorbis, flac
doesn't degrade the sound
file quality. When decoded or played, the exact same
wave stream is
reproduced that went into the encoder. But as
always, it goes at the expense
of something else, which is file size. Where mp3
compresses up to a factor 6
to 15, depending on the bitrate you choose, flac
compresses a wave file to
half its size, or sometimes to one third, which is
not as tight as mp3.
I'm just mentioning it here, because flac may be
interesting for some of
you. Cool edit pro, and also adobe audition which is
in fact the new
generation cool edit, can now use filters to work
with all file formats
mentioned above, including flac.
Regards,
Paul.
