Wave Editor 1.1 is a full-featured document-based audio editor for Mac OS X.

Wave Editor introduces the concept of "layered audio" to audio editing. Layer portions of audio (in any format), Audio Units and fades on top of each other, edit to your heart's content, then flatten your file to get a result that would have taken much longer the old-fashioned way.

Wave Editor 1.1 introduces "Edits" and the "Edit List". Slice audio into sections, move them wherever you want (even between documents), assign names, colors, fades (and more) and make them work together for the most unique and flexible crossfades. If you're familiar with Sound Designer II's "Playlists", take the next step with Wave Editor's "Edit List".

Wave Editor includes an advanced Inspector, statistical analyzer, audio processing, three advanced meters, full support for Audio Units, bezier curve-based fades, support for MP3 and AAC, portable document templates and much much more.
