Sounds like the new garage band will be able to do this and will be accessible. I would hold off and see what comes up with this New ILife 11.

Granted spliting the file by marker which I believe is the only option names the split files accoridn g to the markers but it is doable. You can filter and do all of that stuff in amadeus. Good luck.

While I am quite proficient with Sound Forge running under Windows, I want to continue migrating more and more tasks to the Mac. So here are some questions, and thanks so much in advance for any and all feedback. > > 1. I will be recording all of the presentations for a conference of the European Blind Union which will take place here in Vienna from November 11-14.

I may need to leave the recording equipment unattended for several hours at a time, thus producing very large files. Since I am a presenter, I won't always be able to leave the main conference auditorium to turn off the recording equipment after each presentation. Will GarageBand let me split larger files into smaller ones without introducing too much degradation in the quality of the recordings? I assume that this is possible, but I just want to make sure. > > 3. I am somewhat concerned about AC hum in the recordings.
