In this article we review the best free audio editor programs for PC, i.e. those software capable of breaking up audio files, sectioning a music track in order to eliminate parts of songs or songs, mix more music together, joining parts of one to on another or change its sound through filters and sound effects. We put the best of these programs off the list, namely Audacity, which is free and open source, but it is also quite complex and unnecessary if the goal is to work on simple operations on music or audio files such as cut, mix and unify .
Here, then, the best programs to cut and join audio and MP3 files
1) Mp3splt is a small application that allows you to quickly split an MP3 audio file both manually and automatically. Mp3splt is opensource, compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac OSX, simple to use and that supports MP3 and OGG audio files
2) Wavosaur is a free, more complete program for Windows that offers several editing options on mp3 and wav files that go beyond the basic ones for audio editing. With Wavosaur you can cut music tracks, extract pieces of music, copy them and add them to other songs becoming a tool for mixing music. Wavosaur can also directly record sounds and apply special effects and filters on tracks. WavoSaur is a standalone program that weighs only 500 Kbytes.
3) Free Audio Editor is a very recent program that allows you to apply many types of effects on a single music track. You can perform the typical audio editing operations but it does not support multitrack so it is not possible to mix different tracks together. Free Audio Editor, in the free version, allows you to save the edited music file, only in Wav format and not Mp3 and, this, is a bad limit.
4) Another program with the name Free Audio Editor of DVDVideosoft, completely free. This software is really simple and convenient for cutting MP3, WAV, AAC, AC3, M4A, MP2, OGG and WMA audio files.
5) From the interface, uglier, but characterized by a great simplicity and by the fact of being free, it is WavePad with which you can cut, paste pieces of other files or simply record music. WavePad function with Mp3 or Wma files; it is also possible to insert some “Special Effects” in the file we are using to customize the audio file.
6) MP3DirectCut allows you to edit MP3 audio files by cutting pieces of music or extracting parts of an mp3 ; obviously it is free too, directly and quickly (in other programs the MP3 is decompressed and reconverted)
7) Merge MP3 simply serves to unify mp3 files and thus merge multiple tracks together making one. Such an instrument becomes useful if you use programs to make presentations of photo slideshows or slides, to insert a sound accompaniment.
8) Music Editor Free is the program that shows each audio file graphically in waves and allows you to cut parts as if it were an image. as the name suggests, it is a good software to make changes to music, to add special effects, to turn up the volume and do some other audio editing operations automatically. The free version, unfortunately, only supports the WAV format and not the MP3.
9) Audio Joiner is a web application to merge several music tracks together in order to have only one. There is nothing to download and you just need to upload the mp3 or wav files to be merged into a single file on the site.
10) MP3CUT, on the other hand, is the site where you can cut audio tracks and MP3 files, without downloading anything, directly via the web.
11) MakeItOne MP3 Album Maker is a special program because it allows you to merge mp3 into a single file and, if necessary, to divide it into the original tracks.
It is therefore a useful program to make a single file with several songs from an album, placed one behind the other or for the chapters of an audiobook.
12) I add to this list the Nero Wave Editor program, already discussed in another article, is not free but it is very popular and popular.
13) A simple online audio editor that allows you to cut and edit mp3 files and all types of audio files is MP3Cut . Without having to download or install programs, you can upload the file to this free site and then use its editor to select the part of the sound track to keep, cutting the rest.
14) Audio Trimmer is a website that allows you to upload the audio file online and then cut it as you wish. So there is no program to download and everything works online. The audio file must not be larger than 100 MB. After uploading the file, you just have to move the cursors on the sound waves of the auto file and then choose which part to keep and which one to delete.
Finally, a quote to the post that indicates the best free software to create mixes between songs from the point of view of a DJ, therefore not audio editing but real creation of music and mixing of musical passages.
Finally, in another post, there are the best sound effects to listen to and download .
