I have 2 AIFF recordings of a live concert. One is a stereo recording of the show direct from the soundboard and another is a mono recording from a condenser mic in the back of the room. I would like to mix them all together into one nice stereo mix. The total length of each file is over 2 hours and they aren't the same length (I couldn't get them to start at the same time). Does anyone know a cheap way that I can do this? I'm thinking that if I could get them synced up to be the same length and start at the same point then I could just use quicktime pro. Does anyone know how I could sync the up? there is about 1 second difference between the two start times.

Thanks.

yor ear is able to hear a difference less then a millisecond (you would recognize it as a delay or a shatter)…-

no way, afaik!

btw: spark (versiontracker) is able to playback many tracks (in your case.3) at once - try that. happy shifting

Spark ME (the free version) has been discontinued. Does anyone have it?
