I need some advice on what to use to clean up some files. I downloaded some MP3's that a friend had made of a live recording. Being that it was a live show, when I burn the files to CD, I'd like to have complete continuity from track to track with no breaks. Even with the buffer between songs set to zero, I still get a clicking sound between tracks.
When I converted several files to AIFF and opened them up in Spin Doctor, I could see from the waveform that there was a split second of "dead" space at the beginning of each track. I don't know if this is done during the encoding process or what.
The question is, how can I edit the very short dead spot from the files? I need some piece of software that makes a waveform that I can zoom in on very closely, since the amount of time I need to excise is miniscule. Unfortunately, Spin Doctor doesn't let me get in close enough to make a clean cut at the break. Any software recommendations for what I'm trying to do. I need something I can at least demo before I fork over the cash to see if it fits my needs.

if you are using X, check out Spark ME. it's a free, cut-down version of Spark, but for what you are doing (trimming aiff waveforms), it should work fine. and it's free

that sounds like a nice little program, I will check it out too!

I use Bias Peak. Gives you complete control of your audio.
cons: expensive unless you look of it!

Another excellent piece of software is ProTools by digidesign. There is a free version.
