MP3 Editor
is an generic term for a program that edits some facet of an mp3 file. MP3
Editors can be used to edit audio to improve the sound quality, cut
unwanted portions and add effects. FlexiMusic Wave Editor helps you
to open and save the MP3 files.
MP3 is a compressed
digital audio format that allows for
smaller file sizes with sound quality similar to PCM Wav format. Music
tracks in Wav format are extremely large in size, averaging around 50MB in
size. Wav files are typically large due to the high quality of the
format used for CDs. Wav files can be made smaller by converting them to MP3
format through a process called encoding. This process always yields some
quality degradation, depending on how much compression is applied. When MP3
is converted to Wav, the process is called decoding. When MP3 is decoded to
Wav, there is no increase in sound quality, the file will increase in size, and
can be read by common players. FlexiMusic Wave Editor works like an MP3
Editor. It is used to open and save the files in .mp3 format.
MP3 Editor
is a powerful recorder which can record from your microphone or streaming
audio from the Internet. And that's just the beginning of what you can do. MP3 Editor is a complete software package that can convert
and manage your MP3 files. In FlexiMusic Wave Editor you can convert MP3 to
Wav, and Wav to MP3.
Convert .Wav to MP3
file, and play it on your PC.
MP3 Editor
compresses an audio format to MP3 file for transferring music over the
Internet or to archive music on your PC to save space. MP3 files are created by
taking wave audio data and processing them with a special algorithm. This
algorithm removes parts of the audio that practically cannot be detected
by the human ear; actually there will be some degradation of quality, but
this depends on the quality (bit rate) at which you choose to encode the
file.
An MP3
file made by an MP3 Editor is vastly smaller than the original wave file, but
sounds as good. For example a huge audio file, three
minutes long, will take up 30 Mb as a wave file, but only between 2 and 7 Mb
as an MP3 (depending on the bit rate you choose). This shows why MP3 files are
popular for trading music on the Internet.
Since MP3
is a data format and not an audio format, MP3 needs a player designated to
decode the data and produce listenable music from it. In FlexiMusic
Wave Editor, you can listen to MP3 files by converting them into wave audio.
FlexiMusic Wave Editor
Features:
FlexiMusic
Wave Editor can read and write "MP3" files with the help of an external command
line encoder. You need to use MP3 files to save bandwidth. If you have a
Wav file, you can convert it to MP3 file. FlexiMusic Wave Editor can open and
save audio files of these formats: ".wav", ".mp3" ".au", ".snd" and ".raw".
You can save part of the wave to a new file. In the case of wav files, they
open instantly without a long time delay. You can open many files in many
windows. You can work with wav files for all kinds of audio requirements,
then use the MP3 format to save hard disk space and Internet
bandwidth.
Save a
song to an MP3 File: To open or save MP3 files, you need to download and install an external command
line encoder, such as the Lame
Encoder. Open the song file in FlexiMusic Wave Editor and use the command
Menu "File > Save As," specifying a new name with an ".mp3" extension.
Editing an MP3 File in
FlexiMusic Wave Editor: FlexiMusic Wave Editor can open, save and record
sounds to edit in MP3 file format.
The
format to maintain while editing with MP3 Editor: The quality will not be affected
if converted to wav and back to MP3 Editor as long as you are not reducing
the sampling rate in the Wave Editor window, and the bit rate is 128kbs while saving. Use the MP3 Editor recommended 44100HZ sample rate and 128kbps bit rate.
A direct
MP3 file has to convert the MP3 frames to samples and back internally, but
FlexiMusic Wave Editor does it openly for you by using the command line
Encoder.
Selecting Bit Rates for Encoding.
Bit rate refers to the speed at which a bit stream (compressed audio data)
will travel, or the amount of bits per second. With MP3, you can refer to it
in terms of kbps or how many thousands of bits per second.
96kbs: The sound clearly lacks definition: for example, concert hall
noises are perceived as breath. The result is comparable to a good FM
radio.
112kbs: The sound seems less present and less natural than the
original. The definition is a bit less good, the voice is less clear. There
is however a very noticeable improvement compared to 96kbs.
128kbs: Hall noises are slightly less defined than the original.
Violins are a bit less present and piano attacks are a bit less sharp.
160kbs: The sound is more natural than 128kbs but the improvement is
less spectacular than during the two preceding stages. The sound is
different from the original. The difference resides more in what we feel
than in what we hear.
192kbs: The sound is not felt as the original recording. It is
however totally impossible to tell in what way.
256kbs: The sound is perceived as the original. It is impossible to
the differentiate from the original recording.
320kbs: The sound is perceived as the original. It is impossible to
differentiate from the original recording.
File
formats supported:
File types: wav, au, snd, raw and mp3 with external encoder (wma export
only).
Channel: Stereo and mono.
Sample size: 8 bits and 16 bits.
Flexible sampling rate: You can use any sampling rate. MP3 Editor handles 11025,
22050, 44100, 48000, 32000, 24000, 16000, 12000 and 8000 Hz with menu. And
all other custom sampling rates can be entered in the range 1 to 200 kHz.
The most common format used for CD quality is 16 bit, 44100 Hz. If you want to
mix audio with an avi movie, use 48000 Hz.
Editing
Operations: As an MP3 Editor in FlexiMusic Wave Editor, you can use commands like Cut, Copy, Paste- insert, and Paste Multiple-Insert while editing in MP3 Editor. First, you need to select the editing range using the
commands like cut and copy.
Effect in MP3 Editor: The program can manipulate special effects to complete
the music with all new effects such as Equalize, Echo, Noise Reduction,
Modulate, Stretch/Shrink, and Delete silence. MP3 Editor performs effects
like Fade In, Fade Out, Invert, Reverse and Echo Effect Sounds. |
