SndBite 3.3

SndBite is a specialized audio editor, designed for breaking large recordings into smaller components with great efficiency.

Its principal intended application is in linguistic research where it is often desirable to put each sentence or word into a separate file before further processing.

Here are some key features of "SndBite":

· Multiple simultaneous views of the waveform at different resolutions.
· The ability to position window edges at transitions between sound and silence.
· Automated setting of cut points at zero-crossings.
· Automatic filename generation easily controlled by the user.
· Optional automatic playback on window motion.
· Logging of each write, so that a record will exist both for the long term and in case (as often happens) the user loses his or her place during the segmentation of a large file.
